Apple Teams Up With Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson for Siri Movie

Well you lot claim that their microprocessors, AirPods, displays, etc aren't innovative. So let's call it even?
Just had a look at your comment history. You seem to have something personally against Apple, so excuse me if I don't take you too seriously.
I personally have no use for Siri. But I've seen Dwayne Johnson in a number of different movies. He does not seem to take himself too seriously for an entertainer and I like that about him. I'm actually looking forward to seeing this only because of him.
I guess to put it another way, for a celebrity, Dwayne Johnson seems to be a pretty humble person.

My guess is to gain the experience necessary to start producing even longer films. It's no small secret that Apple is looking to enter the video streaming market as well, and this could be them dipping their toes in the water before we see a full feature length film from them.
Plus you don't wait until you are on the cusp of irrelevance before you start panicking and deciding to do something to stay relevant.
Aboveavalon addressed this topic before, so it's hardly surprising to me why Apple is doing so.
Will this movie be a follow up to the "Baywatch" disaster? If so, it should be called "iWatch", if that name hasn't been used yet
Relax, it's just an ad, not a Horseman of the Apocalypse flaming over Cupertino.
Jesus.
Jesus.
I am certain, and I say this as an Apple fan, that not only would Siri lose a competition against The Rock, Siri would lose a competition against an actual rock.
How so?
A Mac Pro is going to be a niche product purchased by only a very small group of Mac users. The money Apple earns from it likely doesn't even begin to cover the cost of R&D and support.
The redesigned cooling system of the iMac Pro could eventually make its way down to the current iMac lineup and result in less thermal throttling and better performance overall. That's a win for all future iMac users, which is surely a way larger addressable market.
Surely it seems you're not in this universe, where Apple completely owns markets, wallets and minds.
A Xeon iMac is even more niche than a Mac Pro.
Why waste time on that instead of addressing the current iMac cooling needs then?
speaking off, remember when Apples Carpool Karaoke was supposed to come out? that thing was cool over a year ago. they r always so embarrassing when it comes to pop culture.
next thing you know they are going to use „thats so lit“ in their advertising

Precisely I read it. Waiting for the cooling to trickle down does not make sense.
You're about 40 years late. They've been saying that about Apple since day 1.
Even Apple doesn't see itself as a computer company. Don't forget - it was Steve Jobs himself who instituted the change.
This is a short video no different from the short videos they show at the beginning of WWDC. It's on Youtube and promoting Siri in a fun way. Not sure why so many people don't understand the content strategy nor obvious tongue in cheek nature of this release.

Yes because 'computer' is an obsolete term. Computers are in everything so Apple Computer makes no sense to any consumer.
