webfact Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Apple’s Tim Cook surprises locals at Wat Arun By THE NATION Apple Inc’s chief executive officer Tim Cook is on a surprise visit to Thailand, posting on his personal twitter account on Friday (December 13): “สวัสดี Thailand! My journey this morning along the Chao Phraya River culminated in a visit to the peaceful Wat Arun. Thank you Jirasak Panpiansin for showing me this historic temple through your lens. (IG: joez19)” Photo: twitter @tim_cook Jirasak Panpiansin is a Thai photographer whose portfolio appeared on Apple’s instagram account in April 2017. Cook later posted another tweet of him visiting students at Satit-Chulalongkorn school in Bangkok’s Pathum Wan district. There has been no official report of his visit to Thailand but the chief of the tech giant last week called on Seiko Advance in Japan and Singapore Airlines in Singapore.

lamyai3 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Following a long tuk tuk ride visiting two minor temples and a gem shop, Cook was dropped off at MBK centre where he checked out an early import of the new iPhone 12, and went home with an iPood t-shirt.

Makes it look worthy. And the trackball is thrown out for a laughable 50 USD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole 8k thing is a sales gimmick. And I can build such a windows machine for a whole lot less then this with the same standards. One of my buds used to work at the Intel research center in Fort Collins CO, his machine seriously rocks for not much money. Learned a lot from him.

I guess Wat Arun was closed, closed just for him, judging by the photograph he was given the place to himself. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole 8k thing is a sales gimmick. Absolutely laughable. Even for 4k and a screen size of 50 inch you would need a viewing distance of 1 meter (40 inch) to see a difference to a lower resolution (with good eye sight). And this Apple XDR is 32 inch(!) and 6k(!). Almost stick your nose to the display. Same gimmick is 6 inch smartphone display with 4k. Just to swank with numbers.

CGW Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 "Surprises locals" I wouldn't know the guy from Adam, sure the locals never knew who he was either! - unless it was announced as a publicity stunt! ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
