I have bought a few iPhones off of craigslist and they all were found out to be stolen after I bought them. The people file a "lost" phone claim and the phone isn't usable anymore.
Got a tip for us?

Thanks for the advice, but I have tried the iPad Pro and I really wanted it to replace my laptop. I didn't work for me and will not work for many other pro users. Plus, the trackpad is irreplaceable.
I still have faith the TC days will eventually come to an end and things will get back on track. As of today, why would I give up on the best available operating system and change to Windows or Linux? Even an underpowered Mac is 1000x better than a PC in my humble opinion.
Fair enough.
I no longer have that faith myself. Even if the TC days come to an end... The damage will have been done because I can only imagine that it's going to take A LOT to get Cook ousted. I have also tried the iPad Pro (I own one). It doesn't replace my Mac for productivity, but that's okay, it was never designed to "replace" the Mac. Just super secede it (by any means possible).
I guess I'm lucky that I can get whatever I need to get done (work) on just about any platform, even Windows.
Also, grab a burger for dinner from B-Spot @ Crocker Park for me tonight. Been too long. #allincle
Rigged that way, more than likely, so Apple wouldn't have to gift anyone some "prize" for being the 1 billionth iPhone purchaser. Trying to trim that bottom line like only Tim can. That's why there's no new computers...R&D costs too much.
That I can do for you anytime!Fair enough.

But wait! Aren't you a pizza guy?
Hell, you're right! Make that... Either Antonios on Center Ridge or the Winking Lizard in Avon (you can get pizza's at the Winking Lizard, IIRC).
What are YOU saying Pat???
There is never a moment in Tim's excitement over the billion mark reached that he tries to glory hound & take credit for it. So your ridiculous questions posed about whether he wants to be worshipped are as outlandish as they are baseless. It sounds like YOU are the one desperate for validation & attention; so strongly so, that you are willing to grossly misrepresent another man's actions and words.
Of every complaint I've ever heard leveled at Mr. Cook- egotism & attention whoring have NEVER been mentioned by anyone but you. I think you're reaching.

How could anyone fall for that these days? All you need to do is have the seller turn off Find My iPhone in front of you. This proves they have the password for the Apple ID linked to the phone. A thief isn't going to know this.
If they can't turn it off, don't buy the phone. If it's ALREADY off, then turn it on (you don't need a PIN or password to turn it on), hand it back to the seller and THEN ask them to turn it off.
I shall try that!

The only thing more amazing than this achievement is the macrumors forum response to it. Some people will never be impressed.
A truly remarkable achievement that we might never see again...and it's met with this? Amazing!
Screens should have never been in the bedroom (unless for "on call" or charging purposes). Sleep sanitation dictates this.
As for child development, I think you have the right idea, but my opinion as an uncle is pretty irrelevant.
I do agree with the general sentiment that "the world is too much with us", but then again, if a person is in a meditative place, the world is welcomed in.
Sorry for over-thinking. :-
Ain't technology grand!
Exactly, but with one pptentially huge difference: The second half of the Steve Jobs story was the better half.

'A truly remarkable achievement that we may never see again'?!? Good grief my friend, you need to pick up a hobby, travel the world, womanize a bit, whatever it is ... but something to ease your excessive idolizatiom of Apple.

The "1" in binary stands for "did" (as opposed to did not) and the trailing "0" stand for "again" (first one) or "and again" (for all trailing "0").
That's a lot of "again and again and again and again". (Think: Pretenders.)
For further insight on the word "billion", read the first chapter to Carl Sagan's book Billions & Billions.
People and their anti ms sentiment is hilarious to me. If anyone is like old Microsoft that would be google
