>Steve Jobs insisted on the idea of no fan or air vents >Many Apple IIIs were thought to have failed due to their inability to properly dissipate heat. inCider stated in 1986 that "Heat has always been a formidable enemy of the Apple III and some users reported that their Apple IIIs became so hot that the chips started dislodging from the board > BYTE wrote, "the integrated circuits tended to wander out of their sockets" >Apple advised customers to tilt the front of the Apple III six inches above the desk, and then drop it to reseat the chips
How did this fuckup of a company became so succesfull?

Isaiah Kelly
they're brave
Ian Hill
The apple doesn't drop more than 6 inches from the tree
Grayson Jones
Back then you didn't have a lot of choice in computers so many companies who were investing in computer technology for their office space or their processing needs were quick to pick up even no name brands of computers to see what worked best or what fit their needs best.
Apple does this shit today "you're holding the phone wrong" in regards to cell and wifi disconnections and shit.
Austin Murphy
IBM was destroying them on the business side though. Maybe that's why Jobs was so butthurt about IBM.
Leo Hernandez
Steve Jobs hated the Apple line. He literally forced the IIgs to be gimped to not compete with the Macintosh.

Its a design feature. Not a flaw

Because Woz wasn't a retard Plus gullible normies fall for the meme cult

>or air vents Not true. The early Macs had air vents. Around the base of the Mac and under the handle. There was even a third-party fan (Fanny Mac) that fitted in the handle space. I give you bullshit/10 as a preliminary score.
Levi Baker
But that's not a Mac.
Justin Torres
That's why IBM was part of the AIM (Apple, IBM, Motorola) consortium to spec, design and make the PPC chips for Apple's PowerMacs.
Xavier Richardson
Your rage at Apple is illogical. If, as you say, they have no relevance then why so butt-hurt? If you are wrong, then shut up. You can't have it both ways.
Sounds of heavy helicopter overhead. Either Air Ambulance or Police. Look in flightradar24. Nothing. Police, then. Lock all doors. It's not even Tuesday!

Why did all of Microsoft's competitors kill themselves with retarded business decisions? >Apple made retarded design choices, segmented their line too much and priced their computers too high leading everyone to buy cheap PC clones >Commodore treats customers and employees like shit, has horrible marketing, invests in stupid ideas like the CDTV that flopped completely, engaged in price wars that hurt margins too much >Atari kills its computer line to go all in on the Lynx and Jaguar, which is possibly the single worst business decision in all of tech history
David Hill
Microsoft is making a lot of retarded decisions too since Bill Gates' departure.
Isaiah Stewart
People buy their products, so as a business they remain successful. Why do you think Apple targets people who are tech illiterate?
Chase Powell
I'll bite.
Not him but my rage at Apple is solely because of how well they can brainwash customers into believing that they are getting the best possible experience and product by being loyal to them regardless of whatever actual evidence is presented. That being said, this is not something to blame Apple for as much as you can argue it is to blame their customers for since they are the ones who are being retarded and Apple is using the good ol' free market to take advantage of that.
My rage isn't because of Apple's success or their products but because of the way they exploit their customers, how they keep getting away with it, and how their customers literally defend them in any situation possible. Look up how many times iPhone explosions and fires have been reported in the past before the Note 7 fiasco and how quickly they were swept under the rug, not to mention that Egyptian flight which was concluded to have crashed due to an iPhone 6 explosion and how literally no one cared.
Evan Gutierrez
Looks like Tesla gain popularity on California people,makes these people preach as new gospel.
r/teslamotors and r/apple looks like same as cult.
Brody Taylor
it sure would be an interesting world it PPC continued to scale and didnt hit a dead end...
Ryder Brooks
Where do you see a Macintosh anywhere in the OP's picture?
Nathan Jackson
>not to mention that Egyptian flight which was concluded to have crashed due to an iPhone 6 explosion >concluded [citation needed]
Charles Russell
Okay you got me. It was never concluded to be the cause but was largely believed to be.
Mason Young
Power8 has haswell level IPC, up to 8 threads per core, and clocks to 4 ghz.
Nathan Mitchell
Because of capitalisms need to have ever increasing profits
Ethan Robinson
No, it wasn't. The Egyptian authorities (who chose to investigate the incident as a criminal matter and not an accident) claim to have found "explosive residue" on several bodies and components recovered from the wreckage. At no point in time did their investigation suggest a cellphone was at fault.
Yes, we're all familiar with the sensationalist headlines from the incident, absolutely none of which are backed up with any facts from any government agency who investigated the incident.
>could an iphone have destroyed this plane?!? >could an imac have impregnated your daughter while you watched helplessly from your cuckshed? >all these things COULD have happened! >we don't actually have any evidence to suggest it, but doesn't it SOUND like something that could have happened? >because, you know, apple!
