Apple's Carpool Karaoke Will Include Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams From Game of Thrones

Why? You're not forced to watch it.

This is true..
However, I wouldn't put it past Apple to force this in my face every time I open Apple Music / iTunes etc.

Fingers crossed I won't have to work on any more material related to this.

Wouldn't it be amazing if the car they used ended up being a new Apple car, and the show was really a rouse to act as a vehicle in marketing the new product.

Alas however much I'd like to think this awful idea was part of a larger dastardly marketing ploy for their new flying hyperdrive cars, I pretty much know it won't be.

When I read of people defending Apple's decision to ignore or cut "niche" products like the Mac Pro or Aperture, then read an article about this sort of thing, I feel a bit put off of Apple. Then when I see what Siri is like compared to the other AI assistants I've been trying, and think of how much further along Siri should have been by now, I feel a bit sick.

It's not that I have anything against Carpool Karaoke, but I don't see how Apple puts the money into something this kooky and let so many promising, pertinent aspects of their business wither away.

ya know.....Apple has ALOT of $$$$$$$$.

They can afford several lines of R&D.

Good point. But I'm talking about where they seem willing to spend all that money. If results are anything to judge by, they didn't spend enough on certain things that clearly have fallen by the wayside yet mean a lot to consumers.

And it's not just money, but attention and energy. Their attention and money seem all over the place these days. Whatever. Its not my money they're spending.

It makes me a little crazy. You have the resources to do both. If you're going to do this, do both. Most guys I know who used mac pros now have hackintoshs. That's money Apple left on the table trying to get $10 a month through a James Corden tv show.

It used to be, at least in their own words, that Apple was not making products unless they can make them to be the best in the world / stand out in some way / transform the society. Nowadays the main thing Apple tries to do best in the world is to collect money for whatever rubbish becomes in their reach... Even worse, it seems that, for some weird reason, they avoid collecting money for products they used to do (and still could, if they cared to manufacture) extremely well. I guess if a company reaches a critical size it gets out of control and sanity.
