Tim Cook = FAIL

Yeah, I'm sure being the CEO of the richest company on the planet is pure fail, and I am sure his life sucks so bad because of it.

Is anyone getting this purple tinge to their photos? Seems like another ding to the new model.

so it seems apple learned nothing from the iphone 4--this seems like the dropped call/antenna band issue all over again. didn't they essentially say "you're holding wrong" in that case as well?

i love my apple products, and will continue to buy them (as long as they maintain their quality and pleasant user experience), but apple's arrogance toward everyone is a big turn off. and their commercials make me want to throw my tv out the window.

this is how it looks on the iphone 4:

not like they say in the article:

That's a recall worthy defect. (on viewing the gizmodo examples (and they're usually huge apple fanboys)).

a lens flare?

It shouldn't be purple tho. That makes the photos look cheap, like it was taken from a Razr or something.

If you are shooting an 8mp image, that shit better be tight.

I am actually bummed my this news.

I am even more bummed that Apple's fix is "don't shoot at lights".

Fuck that.

I like shooting at lights.

it's gotta be the sapphire lens. what else could it be?

if it is indeed a widespread issue.

MAKE EVERYTHING LOOK LIKE "DRIVE"

I can't remember whether it was a link from elsewhere. But they are a constant supply of apple news, you'd wonder if there was anything else going on in the tech world if you just read gizmodo*. Especially their .au site.

* This comment is hyperbole of course, but really not that far from the truth.

Rapper's performance at Microsoft Store event cut short after destruction of several PCs

 

 

A wild performance by Cleveland-based rapper Machine Gun Kelly, a.k.a. MGK, at a Microsoft retail store in Atlanta ended abruptly after the artist jumped on showroom tables, smashing a number of expensive laptops.

 

 

 

Only a minute and a half into his act, MGK's mic was cut after multiple requests from store staff to get off the floor displays went unheeded, reports allhiphop.com (viaKotaku). The pleas only exacerbated the situation, as the rapper flashed the middle finger to employees, improvising the following lyrics into his rap:

 

"Suck my [redacted], I?m up in this mother[redacted]. MGK in this [redacted]. [Redacted] these computers."

 

 

 

Probably an undercover apple employee.

He's using the Death Grips marketing technique.

Only a $70 discount after waiting almost 3 years for a smaller iPad? If they want to dominate the $199 tablet market, this is not the way to do it.

over £100 more than the Fire HD...

but, apps.
