Default The Epicentre of Change

Apple's World Wide Development Conference is just around the corner.

What are you looking forward to?

I'm super interested in the rumoured Rootless OSX, fantastic news for the security of Mac users, making the best better.

Apple TV, mine is cracking on a bit so the timing would be perfect for an update, but I don't have any TV needs so they'll have to pull something out of the bag for me to update.

iOS9. Rumoured to be enhanced for the iPhone 4... yes the 4, I really hope so, Apple should be proud of their ability to keep an old phone running, if they extend it out even further then that's great for the public and the environment.

Watch Apps. So much potential.

Truthfully nothing, i have this thing called a life that i find to be of far greater value that the goings on of some multi billion dollar conglomerate.

Oh and thanks for giving us a slice of your valuable life, some people might say you added no value, that you wasted your time as well as ours, but i always have time for people who want to make a **** of themselves.

Nothing that I am excited about either. I don't w4nk myself senseless when Android release anything and I certainly don't do it when Apple release anything.

Nobody asked you to toss yourself off, but whilst we're being childish, did you know you can draw ***** on the Apple watch? And *****.

At last someone's found a genuine use for the apple watch

Maybe you should present this at the conference jack.

I would love to know how many people drew ***** and *****, 3 out of 3 friends for me. Another use, at 22:24:05 my watch will tap me on the wrist, I'll look up and the ISS will go past. Magic.

Hopefully they'll address this, though given their past record, I very much doubt it.

Admittedly it could prove handy on those train journeys to and from work!

Hands up if you've been affected by this proof of concept.... tumbleweed. Picking on Apple's security when you're using an Android phone is a bit rich.

No, not at all, but it's hardly relevant to this thread and hardly a threat as it's been disclosed to Apple and won't be released. It's just a lame troll attempt and you've joined the bandwagon.

my thread did not mention anything about apple flaws, nor android flaws. Merely pointed out that you implied android fans should not slam apple.

How is that jumping on the "bandwagon" r'tard?

I'm not using an Android phone, I use an iPhone! I was hoping that maybe this vulnerability will be fix in iOS9! But given how long it normally takes Apple to even acknowledge such flaws let alone address it, it's highly unlikely.

Good for you, I have a feeling you've spent more time, reading, linking, smirking and now whining about this issue than you'll ever be affected by it.

So, we're on a thread about the upcoming Apple conference, trying to discuss upcoming product releases, not your bag so to help you should imagine you're at a fancy dress competition, you're making some suggestions about what fancy dress might walk through the door next, when in walks someone not in fancy dress and they start telling you you have a big nose, you tell them that this is a fancy dress party not a nose party and anyhow your nose is OK, then someone else comes in and tells you that you can't say your nose is OK as some people don't have OK noses, are you getting an idea as to how ****ing ridiculous you Antifanboys are, comedy.

Then you start calling names, then swearing.

After I called you a r'tard point out one swear word, please.

As I indicated above, I am not anti-apple and I am not anti-android. What I am against is people thinking I am a moron if I do not own an iphone. If someone chooses android or windows over an i-product then that does not make them a money-wasting moron by default.

The swear words haven't started yet, those will come next. Let me know who's calling you a moron for not buying an iPhone and I'll give them a Chinese Burn for you. I think you're a moron for commenting on this thread, I know it's a free bump and will make it more popular, but I wish morons like you would just zip it.

If it was not for "morons" like me then your threads would just be populated by posts by you and you would be back at Starbucks sucking off apple fans in the toilets to get your daily attention.

I am probably a moron for commenting on this thread, you are right, as this thread is absolute rubbish. Notice not one person actually posted to your original message topic i.e. what they are excited about with the upcoming apple congress

No, not probably, definitely a moron, if people like you could just stop the hate posts then maybe I'd disappear, but as it is I just have to highlight how moronic you are.
