From the article:

> The change only affects users who set China as their country on Apple devices and doesn’t affect users who select Hong Kong, Macau or Taiwan.

You certainly shouldn't get indignant about it. It's one thing to express an dissenting opinion, but throwing a mini-temper tantrum on the Internet is a bit much. Not saying that's what you're up to, but I'm not as sure about OP.

Hmm... here's what you said:

> American jets need a shiny aircraft carrier and a coin can mess them up

Now it sounds like you're trying to claim that you weren't including American Air Force jets in the term "American jets". I'm not sure how anyone was supposed to know that. Without additional qualifications, "American jets" clearly includes Air Force jets. And, again, Air Force jets generally do not take off from air craft carriers, shiny or otherwise.

> Many branches of the American armed forces operate jets

> Allied countries also operate American jets, even the F-35.

> The F-35 has many variants, and can fulfill many roles

Yes. Those are all facts. Facts than have no bearing on your original post.

It's ok to admit you were wrong, you know. It doesn't reflect poorly on you.

This doesn't sound right. The USAF is the largest air force in the world and, as far as I know, it has exactly 0 air craft carriers. I'm sure a well-placed coin could mess up a lot of machines. Can you back up anything you said with evidence?

At least it seems like it might be temporary:

> Apple says APFS will not be supported on Fusion Drives "in the initial release of macOS High Sierra," which suggests support could be added for Fusion Drives at a later date after lingering bugs are worked out.

Your forgetfulness is not evidence. This is not a compelling argument.

> selling abandoned property you found ? no thats not a crime.

Is that true? I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure you have to own something in order to sell it legally... and I don't think you get to claim ownership of every "abandoned" item you "find".

I'm not sure that Congressional term limits are necessarily a good thing. Lobbyists and other special interests don't have term limits. It seems to me that if we impose term limits on Congress members, then the lobbyists will be the ones with the most experience drafting and passing legislation. I'm all for limiting the influence of money in politics and making more Congress seats "vulnerable" (something like 90% of incumbents get re-elected), but when we find a good legislator I think we should be allowed to keep them.

As a developer do you not use an external mouse, keyboard, and display?

Apple accounts for about 1/8 of smartphone shipments (http://www.idc.com/prodserv/smartphone-os-market-share.jsp) and 1/4 of mobile web traffic (http://marketshare.hitslink.com). Based on those numbers, I don't think you can say they own the mobile space. They may be the most influential company in it, but they have real, effective competition

Good effort, but I'm not sure your post makes sense. If I committed the same crime, wouldn't I get the same punishment? In this case, that's being banned from playing Pokemon Go, not from the Internet as a whole.

Wow, lucky them. What crime do I have to commit to be barred from _hearing about_ Pokemon Go?

Or Ceylon! It looks a lot like Java in some ways, but with a really novel type system.

Kotlin is nice too though.
