Might feel more open if people didn’t need a fucking invite code to join, but ok.

It has gotten better, but there's till the mess of the iPads: I get mini and Pro, but Apple needs to drop either the iPad or iPad Air. Maybe just do Mini, Pro, Air, and maybe like SE or something? iPhones have that issue too: iPhone, iPhone Pro, iPhone SE, 3 isn't too bad, but 4 (iPads) seems too much. It helps that the iPhones are numbered. I know iPads have generational numbers, but that's not in the marketing.

"...Steve Jobs came back to Apple and stripped its messy range down to a few core products..."

Feels like the Apple of today forgets this part of Steve's return.

The widgets you add to the home screen aren't the same as this Today View. Know how you side left from the first page, and it has a widgets view? The iPad had the option to keep that view permanently on the screen and bunch the icons to the right. The option was called "Keep Today View on Home Screen":

IMHO, it was a much better implementation of home screen widgets than what we have now.

Yes, this (from iPad OS)

Hope to get StreetPassed tonight. Will have both 3DS and 2DS at the ready.

Nintendo remembers how the internet collectively lost its shit over Charles not voicing Mario in the movie. Nintendo knew better than to announce it before the game's release.

That's good to hear. World and 3 are also my #1 and #2 Mario games (sometimes 3 is #1, sometimes World is) and if this is as good as those, I'm really looking forward to it. Never could get into the NSMB stuff, for some reason. They're OK, but just didn't scratch that World itch.

the best 2D Mario game ever made.

That is a bold statement, given Super Mario Bros. 3 and World exist. I hope it lives up to those games.

I'm constantly getting that Connection Error box. I'm not sure when the last time I actually got into my iCloud account using the web browser. Then again, I'm not sure when I last tried, since I kept getting that stupid error.

Amen. I cherish my NES GBA SP. Damn good stuff.

They haven't made 17" laptops in years.

The platform is literally filled with amazing artists, and that blob is the logo they go with.

It’s been shown repeatedly that a large part of piracy isn’t about cost, it’s about convenience. It was easier to pay $0.99 and get what you wanted when you wanted it, than download 8 files off of Napster and hope that one of them was actually a decent bitrate and was the song the title said it was.

"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable."

It just switches the question to the library: "What will we borrow tonight?"

Source: experience from my Blockbuster days.

iTunes as well. There are a few things I can still stream that are no longer sold.

Got my tracking info for phone and watch, bought from Verizon.

Smart Photo (Photo widgets)
Night Sky & SkySafari (Astronomy apps)

I still have a bunch of my old Atari 2600 games (yes, including E.T.) The fact that this is compatible with my old carts might entice me to buy it.

Is it the ego feeding or keeping Twitter (“X”) front of mind?

They’re the same picture.
