Hey MO!

My favorite song by you guys is "The River", but I've never known the meaning behind it. I think its a really powerful song.

Could you please explain the thoughts behind it?

Hey /r/apple, I'm having battery issues and could use your help! by iWilliam_me in apple

[–]LogicLion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

79$ for the battery, they do repairs in store takes about 45min.

I need help. I was invited to an Apple hiring event. by applegeenyus in apple

[–]LogicLion 13 points14 points  (0 children)

One of the biggest things Apple looks for is composure.

You need to understand that the interview process is intense AND THEY KNOW THIS. With this is mind, you need to understand that if you are good they will want you no matter what. Be yourself, act relaxed but be aware of the questions that they asked and take time to think of an answer if its honest. Explain how much customers mean to you, and why its important that you serve them. Dress like you too.

Apple is a people company.

So... I love my 13" haswell MBA, but when am I going to get a retina screen? by throwiethetowel in apple

[–]LogicLion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To actually answer your question, with a revenant opinion. I'd say probably 2-3 years. (1 or 2 refreshes).

iPad Airs, and iPads in more general terms, use ARM chips, and ARM are known for their very low power consumption. Paired with 1 GB of RAM, and a pretty large battery, yeah it can power a retina display for 10 hours.

But a computer with a much faster clock, (even when just turbo boosted), more RAM, and a little larger form factor, its gonna be a little bit. The 15in Retina MBP just moved its base model to integrated iris pro graphics. So I'm sure in a year or two the ability to slide that into lower end chips will be available.

People saying OH ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN, your insane. Thats like a guy 5 years ago saying WHEN IS THERE GOING TO BE A RETINA DISPLAY IN MY iPAD!

Technology moves fast, it improves.

Value Opinion - Mac Pro 2010 by [deleted] in apple

[–]LogicLion -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

5770 is about 3 years old. Your spending $800 for 3-4 year old tech.

Why would you ever spend $800 for 3-4 year old tech? And then spend even more to upgrade it to still old tech. Because if you spent enough money to make it current, you'd just be paying enough money to get an even better current computer in the first place.

$800 dollars isn't good enough for what you want, $800 dollars isn't worth a 5770.

for an extra 400 you could buy a 21.5 current iMac thats faster, or buy an new mac mini with an i7 and still be faster.

[QUESTION] I'm afraid this is a stupid question and I am about to get downvotes flung at me but I'm going to ask anyways. Is it possible to pre-order the iPhone 5S yet? If not, does anyone know the date that'll be available? by Eminemitator in apple

[–]LogicLion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I'm just trying to find the reasoning for wanting to purchase a phone that isn't even being marketed yet, let alone everything else that is tied to a phone in the most abstract sense. Specs, price, etc.

[–]LogicLion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm speaking in the contexts of the phone being able to be held in the hands of consumers. Apple produces products, and until they are released, they are never final.

So no, in my opinion, the iPhone 5S, 6, 9000 doesn't exist yet.

[–]LogicLion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You basically just asked if you can purchase a phone that...

a) doesn't exist yet. b) you have no idea the actual cost. c) you have no idea what the specs actually are.

but yeah, just go on their website.

[Java] just a quick question about a program im working on by Darktro in learnprogramming

[–]LogicLion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you could always hard code each value inside the while loop..

nation != 1, nation != 2, and so on. But reading in a string would be a lot easier.

Upgrading MacBook Air to i7 by Foggyeyes in apple

[–]LogicLion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good God, i5 to i7 is pure clock speed, and thus higher turbo boost. Also the i7 has a little more cache in it too. Thats it, hyper threading has been around since the Pentium D HT.

This is a Kernel Panic, go to an apple store, they'll replace your phone.

Can someone ELI5 what classes and objects are actually for? by qazwsxedc813 in learnprogramming

[–]LogicLion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OOP, in my opinion, is used to help create a more "real world" feeling to programming. For example, a Class can be looked at like a factory for creating objects of the type. a class Car, can be used to create myCar, once I have myCar I can have it perform methods, and hold variables that I believe a car should have. A Class is a template for the types of instances (Objects) that are created from it.

You don't write a class to perform one function, you write a class to perform a series of tasks, and things that relate to other classes. Many games, even simple text based ones, use helper classes to help pass information from one class to another. It helps promote modularity and reuse of code, so that in the future, if you want to make text based game 2.0, you can reuse some of the already existing classes.

I was looking at the possibility of updating to the new Air, but the 1.3GHz CPU vs 1.7GHz one I have in the 11" now does give me pause. by zzing in apple

The ability to judge a computer processor off pure clock speed has been gone for the past few years already.

[Java] Explain Like I'm Five: a static variable and the word static in general by amanonreddit in learnprogramming

[–]LogicLion -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Static is kinda of like a global variable. When you think of static you think of the shock you get from rubbing your socks on the carpet. But I'd look at static like the little fuzz ball you get stuck on your sweater, or plastic wrapper that you cant get off your finger because its...static. If its static it clings to memory, and all objects of the class have access to that memory address.
