Just like my teachers in 1999; "Pokemans." Come on man..
They still must be 8 year olds intellectually.Apparently not. Today I saw a gaggle of University students with their iPhones plugged into battery packs in their backpacks wandering around collecting Pokémon. At least it gets them out of their parent's basements...

Yeah, sorry the CEO of one of the most valuable companies in the world is not up to date with children´s and lonely grown-up´s games.
Sounds like a total PR BS, he's just saying what people want to hear. You can ask him about anything and he'll reply the same.
We have been and continue to invest a lot in this. We're high on [insert anything here] in the long run and we think there are great things for customers and a great commercial opportunity.
Congratulations for the most salty, passive aggressive comment I've received regarding this subject. Please develop a sense of humor.Yeah, sorry the CEO of one of the most valuable companies in the world is not up to date with children´s and lonely grown-up´s games.
He's not "younger"Yeah! Because Jobs and Wozniak never played video games when they're younger. They're very serious people and focused their life to be great.![]()
Yep, what keeps an 8 year old challenged and fun, should (note that i said should) not be the same thing that keeps an adult challenged and fun. But of course, we all know that most kids today don't ever grow up, are not expected to grow up, and in fact a lot don't even leave home. It is just easier to manage the population this way, that is with expectation so low.TIL: Having fun is only allowed for 8 year olds.
I think their choices were pong and space invaders at that time.Yeah! Because Jobs and Wozniak never played video games when they're younger. They're very serious people and focused their life to be great.![]()
Are investors this flippant and insecure about what Apple is? DO they understand technology at all?
If it wasn't for the vision of Apple and it's software/hardware platform approach this game wound't have been as successful. Apple pretty much created this iteration of how things are done.
In French, "e" with an acute accent, "é", sounds more akin to the "a" in "cake" and "lake". If you're from the USA, you probably pronounce résumé as, "reh-zoo-may", which may be the source of your confusion.the accent over the "é" makes it make the "e" sound as in words like "mess" or "men", or in the French word "résumé" (yes, that is the correct way to spell it, not that most people do it that way anymore).

This is my impression too. Sometimes I wonder why they even have an earnings call and don't simply post their numbers without comment.We have been and continue to invest a lot in this.

Augmented Reality was kinda fun on the Nintendo 3DS, but I must say it tended to be a bit of a gimmicky thing where the novelty wore off pretty quickly, so not so sure about this being the next big thing personally. Virtual reality on the other hand, for me has the potential to solve alot of problems, especially if combined with some of the input control methods I have heard about coming with it. By that, I mean the ability to touch the virtual screen in the air, rather than physical keyboards and mouse. It solves the tradeoff problem between having a device small enough to be easy to carry, without limiting you to a small screens and small keyboard, as the eyewear make the image full size, and the virtual touch controls mean infinite scope for controls without external peripherals to plug in, or just the screen size as the surface area to work from. If they wanted to add augmented reality to that to add the icing in the cake, that would be fine also (but that part would not be a deal-breaker for me). However, I don't want to discourage them from persuing this route, as I can see some potential possibilities. Microsft's HoloLens looked fun for all the above mentioned reasons, but to be honest, I'd much prefer to see Apple do it, as these last few years Microsoft just seem to be making a hash of everything.I have no interest in either augmented or virtual reality, and don't believe that either area offers anything of interest to the general public.
That said, Apple have quite a lot of money, so they may feel that they can afford to invest in these areas.
Maybe Tim took part in the Futurama Execuspeak class: "Don't you worry about [blank]. Let me Worry about [blank]."Sounds like a total PR BS, he's just saying what people want to hear. You can ask him about anything and he'll reply the same.
