Transport is a problem that needs solving. We should start driving on the right, it'll speed up development.

Correct. Automatic tax as well, short, single occupant trips 200% extra. If you want to drive a car go to a track - order an Apple Cab - otherwise it's best Apple has control 😀👍 You are the dongle.

You love the dong. Dongforger.

I'll wear Apple Glasses when they release them and if you're shopping for Christmas the T-Shirts are really nice.

If Apple advocated bags of $hit, he would be in full support.

As for Dongles, Apple had to slash prices as stupid Apple devices need so many of them.

Apple cuts price of dongles after criticism of MacBook Pro ports
https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...bock-pro-ports

Looks like that MacBook turd has crap battery life also, 'A days use being 10 hours remember?'

Definitely. I think by the time they're ready you'll be able to choose your operating system for your car. Android and Windows cars will crash more and the Windows cars will have a blue windscreen.

No doubt it'll look something like this...



...just so you have the ability to let everyone around you know that you own a brand new Apple Car.

What on earth would anybody get from paying for that post?

Besides if anyone's being paid on a per post basis i'd hazard a guess it's the bloke who's yet to master the fine art of the multi-quote.
