"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Apple became a faggot after Steve Jobs RIP

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Apple has been gay ever since it became the fad it is today.

Bearish in the long term.

For what I saw around apple is becoming the favourite brand of women and "intellectuals" but all the nerds I saw, men who are pro when it comes of technology are into others.

I wonder how much apple is moving away from innovation to marketing.

Steve jobs was a dreamer who was able to bring his dreams to life through Apple. He needs to be replaced by someone who was just as much of a dreamer as he was. Without that, Apple is doomed to eventually fall by the wayside.

IMO, their products have mostly been a bunch of proprietary crap since the Apple II.

Stick to apple 10.4 and 10.5 for best efficiency

The last time Jobs left Apple in '85, it went into decline from 1985-1997. Microsoft bought a big chunk of the company, and were on the way of the dinosaurs. When he returned to Apple in 97, he almost single handily turned around their fortunes. I remember in the 90's, Mac was NOT COOL! and were living on their early days glories. Geeks still loved them though.

With the introduction of better hardware, and beginning to improve their compatabiltes with other OS's and manufactures they marched on. With the advent of digital music, came Ipods, I phones, I pads etc. Apple became the forerunner in popular hardware. I fear for Apple now, as Jobs was 1 of a kind. Imagine WWE without Vince McMahon. Internal politics and this latest BS with samsung maybe the start of their own implosion. Or maybe a new generation of guys will step up, and innovate new idea's. Interesting times for Apple.

I have never really been a fan of apple stuff so i really could not care that much. They may have some okay stuff but it's bloody expensive. I will stick to my netbook and my galaxy s2 just fine. :cool: :D

All I can say is that those computers are no joke. Anything digital video you want to work on it is the finest computer money can buy. Don't get me wrong, the chinese still build a mean computer.

I remember awhile back how the metal side-frame of an iPhone was its antenna -- and contact with your skin would mess up reception. Don't remember if it was 3 or 4 that was mega-released with this flaw.

Mr. Tits, I read your link to the very end. This is the result of my digestion of that thread:

Feminism is the Ford Pinto of ideas.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
