He's American with an Iranian and an Indian parent. How much diversity do you actually require in one person. Other than being gay or transgender he couldn't possibly be any more diverse.
How about being gay and transgender!?

One of the smartest guys in tech. Phenomenal move by Apple. I was totally blown away by his recent podcast appearance on Vector with Rene Ritchie. For anyone doubting this hire, listen to him discuss 64 bit, Metal and the state of chipsets here!
Do you have an example of something that wasn't objective in his reporting?
But they didn't hire him (surely) to do something he doesn't know how to do. They probably hired him in some sort of media relations capacity, for competitive analysis, for analysis of component suppliers, or the like. Stuff he's demonstrated an ability to do.
Sorry but can you show me main 1 site where they actually said this?
a transgender female - ie female wanting to become a man,How about being gay and transgender!?![]()
The "Apple is doomed" motif was all over the net after "antennagate." You could find people writing about how Antennagate was just the beginning of the end for Apple. It wasn't hard to find at all. Samsung fans were rejoicing, claiming that it was going to doom Apple being a bit-player in the smartphone arena.
Apple's well know within the tech industry as a company firmly established and devoted to "The Old Boys Club". The rest of the story is lip service. Hypocrisy knows no limits in Cupertino.But.... I thought we were only gonna hire women because we need to be more diverse and stuff...???? What of our diversity Apple? WHAT OF OUR DIVERSITYYYYYYYY?!?!?!![]()
BS, the people who used the most "doomed" were people like you describing its never going to happen.
I don't appreciate your tone. When I make a statement, it is fact. I have a higher standard for my posts than you have for yours. You have no right to demand that I waste my valuable time proving something to you so that you can avoid learning how to use Google.
"Doomed I tell you! returned my iphone in this morning, its just not worth the hassle. I accepted my stupid purchase but we all make mistakes I suppose" From GSM Arena.
Perhaps in your head, in reality if you claim something you have to prove it .I don't appreciate your tone. When I make a statement, it is fact.

reading isnt among that higher standard I see?
"not some ranting from some random person on the internet ."
You're free to disbelieve my claim, but I do not "have to prove it." Nonetheless, I did prove it. See below.
You don't get to redefine the discussion. Reread my original statement: "You may recall the insane ramblings on other sites about the minor iPhone antenna problem, where they predicted it would be the end of Apple, calling it things like "Antennagate" when, in fact, it turned out to be a total non-issue for most owners (including me)."
And I provided an example from GSM Arena, thus proving the existence of such "insane ramblings on other sites."
Since you have now separately claimed that no one writing in a professional capacity for those sites made such a claim of "doom," please provide proof of that.
Again, as I said, who cares what some people think? Every succeful[sic] product in the history has had such comments . Your tone was clear " its apple so people attack it but I know its the best and after the release everyone wil see"
You are also selectivly quoting.
That wasnt the issue. You started about the "apple is doomed" myth sites spread every time there is a new apple product .That's yet another example of you trying to put words into my mouth, creating a straw man argument that you can more easily shoot down.
I judge products base on their engineering and support, not on what manufacturer's name is on the box. That comes from having more than three decades of engineering experience in electrical, software, and firmware. I don't have to play cheerleader for a given manufacturer because I have the tools to make an informed evaluation on a product-by-product basis.
BS, you selectivly quoted and omited te part that contained the context .As are you. That's how you are supposed to quote in a debate; you marshal together the quoteds which best support your position and contentions.
Prooving a negative? Its you that started the discussion on a bias against apple but thusfar besides someone that rambles about every product I havent seen anything on that. Do give the sites that predict the end of apple time after time with every product release .Again, you have now separately claimed that no one writing in a professional capacity for those sites made such claims of "doom," so please provide proof of that.
That wasnt the issue. You started about the "apple is doomed" myth sites spread every time there is a new apple product .

No matter what time of the year, writing a story about Apple is guaranteed pageviews, particularly if you force a controversial and preferably critical take on the company. And, if you want to maximise traffic, claiming Apple is doomed is the best way to do it.
This isnt new. In 2006, tech journalist legend John Dvorak explained his formula for trolling Apple users for maximum page views: write something semi-controversial; when you get complaints, up the ante with something even more outlandish, attracting a billion comments; and eventually admit you were wrong, attracting even more comments from people who think you were right in the first place.
BS, you selectivly[sic] quoted and omited[sic] te[sic] part that contained the context .
fmaxwell said:I disagree. I've found that the reviews on Anandtech did a great job of pointing out positives and negatives. Unlike so many sites, they did not try to paint as a catastrophe every minor flaw or down-side in an Apple product (or any product).
You may recall the insane ramblings on other sites about the minor iPhone antenna problem, where they predicted it would be the end of Apple, calling it things like "Antennagate" when, in fact, it turned out to be a total non-issue for most owners (including me).
Larry Magid said:After the iPhone 4 was released there was Antennagate, a name suggesting that a minor and easily avoided reception problem when touching a certain spot on the side of the phone was on a par with the Watergate break-in that led to President Richard Nixons resignation.
Its not, its what people like you made up and constantly repeat to have someone to vent frustrations.This is a phenomenon that everyone but you seems to know about.
Again (third time) either you were very unclear by mixing up review sites with comments on sites or its BS.Here's my entire post that got you all riled up:
And you can look up "Antennagate" and see that I was correct, other sites were calling it that. Larry Magid, writing for Forbes:
