>“It is actually a funny story,” writes user Tangoshukudai. “When they were prototyping the iPad, they ported the iOS calc over, but it was just stretched to fit the screen. It was there all the way from the beginning of the prototypes and was just assumed by everyone at apple that it was going to be shipped that way.

>A month before the release, Steve Jobs calls Scott Forstall into his office and says to him, “where is the new design for the calculator? This looks awful.” He said, “what new design?” This is what we are shipping with. Steve said, “no, pull it we can’t ship that.” Scott fought for it to stay in, but he knew he had to get their UI team involved to design a new look for the calculator but there was no way they could do it in that short time frame, so they just scrapped it.

>It has been such low priority since then that no one cares to work on it since there is more important things to work on.”

Jobs died 6 years ago yet Apple still didn't bother to bring the default calculator app to iPad.

>>59616966
Not with Steve's autism, he would keep rejecting the design until they had serious delays, and eventually settle with a rejected design which no one would tell him he had already rejected
It happened more than once at NeXT and in his older Apple days, but back then he was retarded enough to delay production for whatever shit he decided to nitpick in that day

No unless the phones are manfauctued by Democratic co-ops from the factory to your hand it's not "fair" trade by the standards of a communist. Do you understand what socialism is? Sounds like your just talking about generic liberals that believe in "social responsibility". Socialist don't believe in ethical consumption buddy.

How is sucking that corporate cock working out for you financially, buddy?

Yeah, it was shocking to me that the iPad didn't have a calc. I was on the toilet once and needed to use a calculator when I discovered the stupidity that it actually didn't have one pre-installed. I still haven't downloaded and installed any of the fishy third-party calcs on the App Store. Whenever I need it I just go on google.com and use it to calculate whatever.

>>59622508
Not him, but:
Communism gave my country great education. Since we stopped being communist, we pushed our mathematics back at least 3 years - shit that our communist parents learned at start of high school, we learn in college.

And keep in mind that Poland still has relatively good education, despite the years of capitalistic degeneration. Better at literacy and math than US.

>>59622828
Holodomor was in Ukraine, you dumb fuck. I know that the next thing you are going to say is that the education that you've received (if any) probably did wonders in the other fields, but humanities and critical thinking. But it doesn't add up, since you're just another retard who mumbles 'pull up by bootstraps' mantra over and over again at the fundamental problems and inherent flaws in the current economic system.
>>

*snore*
Go back to accomplishing literally nothing like usual. Oh wait, there you are.
>>
>>59622998
It's because we replaced our mathematics with religion, chemistry with history, and STEM with management.
Oh and a working system with capitalism.

The choice is exploitation or emigration. And if you can't (or don't want to) exploit, you'll be the one exploited.

Thank god for capitalism!

Holy fucking shit, no wonder Apple makes so much money when sheep eat up a sales pitch like:

"You'll already have our 700 dollar phone so why should your 400 dollar tablet come with something on the phone? Also, make sure to spend another 200 dollars on cables and accessories! Also you HAVE to use our app store."

Sheep: OKAY

I just have little use for a calculator "app"

Real calculators have real buttons, real screens, the battery lasts for months, and they are always handy when you need them.

Also there's no bullshit to distract you, no notifications, none of that crap you don't need when crunching numbers.

Smartphone apps are a shit-tier substitute for a real calculator.

Too bad now we can use stuff like Matlab
My ol 48g felt much better
>>
>>59625671
Honestly I find myself using my 50g a lot more because it just feels better to me for longer equations. I still use my phone sometimes and algebraic input (can be faster for shorter shit) but I really only fuck with MATLAB/EES/Mathematica when required

whoever says "oh you don't need a calculator after a certain point lol" is an idiot. And even if you don't, who cares? It's still nice to use
