Oh it's "a thing" alright.
And it is stupid and ill mannered.
Some guys just can't sit with their legs a decent width apart.

How about some bitrates higher than 256 Kbps? If they allow lossless streaming, I might actually consider subscribing. #audiophile
All the execs at apple are contracted to create sentences from the same pool of words.
I think you're confusing Connect with Beats 1. Beats 1 is live internet radio. Connect was just like Ping but Apple got rid of it as you requested. Anything else?
One can assume that Apple has somebody with half a brain read this forum and report valid facts/concerns/suggestions/ideas etc. etc.
Any company not tuned in to its users will eventually lose them.
As for whatever they are planning, let's hope it's good or we will only remember the first four letters of the dude's name.
Yes except you can't hear exactly what you want on Pandora unless you pay for their streaming music subscription. Everyone on Pandora always asks this same question until they realize that people who pay actually get to hear all music on demand instead of listening to a station and skipping half of the tracks because they don't feel like hearing them.
And everyone was saying the same thing about Amazon 2 years ago and Hulu last year. They have caught up and it's actually easy for Apple to catch up too. After all, we're not talking about technology and product pipelines. We're talking about content which can be easily bought or licensed. Apple could also produce their own content but until they have a few critical hits under their belt, they will appear to be behind. Meanwhile, they serve up all the competition's content on their devices and as soon as an Apple produced original movie or TV show wins big, they will jump right into the fray. By 2020, Apple Studios will be as big as anything we see today.
When did guys in jeans suddenly need to primly cross their legs? If they were doing a full on Al Bundy and massaging themselves, I'd get it, but if the picture with this article has you bothered I think it says more about you than them.
I feel like this is the equivalent to telling a woman to sit "like a lady" if they aren't invading someone else's personal space, which is 100% rude and uncalled for, I don't see the problem with it.
Hey, that's OK. I think your defensive reply reveals some of you as well.
Edit: And nowhere did I say cross their legs. That is you projecting.
The only thing I don't like about this interview is that Apple Music needs to prove itself to me. I'm a subscriber and it's a good service but they've made too many mistakes for me to blindly trust that the future of Apple Music is going to be amazing. I normally buy Apple hardware and some services without question but not Apple Music. They still have their work cut out for them.
Apple Music executives Larry Jackson, Bozoma Saint John, and Zane Lowe sat down for an interview with Complex, where they discussed Apple Music's performance over the last eighteen months and where the streaming service is going to go in the future.
According to the trio, Apple Music has evolved and is continuing to evolve, with Apple now focusing heavily on pop culture and expanding beyond music into TV and movies.
"Every day something is changing or moving or evolving for people who love music and entertainment," said Lowe. "We're all still working it out, and even when you don't have the answer, it's still a privilege to be in the conversation." Saint John, meanwhile, described Apple Music as a "living, breathing brand."

When discussing the topic of the music industry, Saint John went on to share what she hopes Apple Music will look like five or 10 years in the future. According to Saint John, Apple is "developing something very special."As we've learned over the last few months, Apple is making a serious push into original television programming to better compete with other music services like Spotify and Pandora. Apple is already working on two Apple Music-related shows, a documentary called "Vital Signs" starring Dr. Dre and a reality television show based on the "Carpool Karaoke" spot made famous by "Late Late Show" host James Corden.
More original, scripted television shows, even those unrelated to the music industry, will follow, and movies could be on the horizon as well.

1,000,000 times this. I also purchased Cesium, which is way better, but even it is beginning to succumb to the cloud music mess. Not only that, but Cesium isn't available through CarPlay (Apple's restriction), which is where the new Apple Music app REALLY gets frustrating.
No matter what settings I use to try set Apple's Music app to NOT play anything streaming or show any music that isn't on my device, it still always does in CarPlay, including the setting to turn off using cellular data for music... still does. The only way I get only the music on my iPhone in the car is to turn on airplane mode! Which then of course makes the navigation features of CarPlay useless.
Dear Apple: Get Apple Music out of the Music app. Put it in its own obnoxious app for all the "culturally adept" pop-centric hipster d-bags and give us back a music app that we can use to play OUR music that we paid for and OWN and CHOSE to sync to our devices. Hell, I'd be happy if they just made two toggles in the Music app settings: Show Apple Music (Ever) -> OFF, Show iTunes cloud purchases not on this device -> OFF.
How is that supposed to happen with a service that's only available with a monthly subscription? They wouldn't manage it even if it was totally free.
Do these PR people even think about what they are saying before they come out with such crap.
I think you're having trouble with your psychobabble. I'm neither defensive, nor projecting. You're probably looking for words like "derision" or "cynical amusement". I think the idea of "manspreading" in jeans is absurd and find the fact that someone bothered to give it a name hysterical.
I didn't get the rulebook on what "a decent width" was, so I just pulled up a cultural remnant from a time when women were put in their place. Maybe it's more like parallel parking where you need to keep your heels no further than 9" apart? Do men need to sit side saddle and be careful to not show their ankles too?
Where is this stuff written down? How do we teach our young'uns?!
it was my first time listening to beats1 radio and zane lowe played a world premiere record literally 5 TIMES IN A ROW.
i never listened to beats 1 ever again.

They all look like they are six foot taller than you. Anyways, that's rude they didn't include you in the photo. You have every right to be upset.
