  • Judge sanctions Apple for blatantly violating 'Fortnite' App Store order

    red oakred oak
    The FU’s are starting to pile-up for Cook.   1) Over reliance on China mfg,  2) Apple Car 10 year R&D fiasco, 3) No plan to lower App Store commission over time leading to court imposed changes,  4) The on-going 12 year Siri clusterfuc*,   5) Botched AI rollout,  6) Over emphasis on DEI and “Justice” over product innovation,  6)  Weak Board of Directors 

    This was suppose to be Apple’s golden age and now things just seam to be going sideways

  • Apple Music passes 11M subscribers as iCloud hits 782M users

    I listened to the whole thing

    They came across as defensive, not offensive.   Same as Cook on the earnings call

    We know you are at world-wide scale.   Embrace it and make it an advantage.   Act like you are setting the world on fire, which you are.  Don't be so damn understated

  • Apple will be on the hunt for two new board members soon

    red oakred oak
    Apple Senior Execs and the Board of Directors have become like the US government - too old and too out of touch  

    75 for a Board seat in the world of Tech?   Good grief.   Lower that to 65 or 70 immediately.   What possibly could this Board be contributing?   How could they possibly assess if Apple’s AI plans are off track?

    Who brought up “community service” for this all-hands? 

    We are going to war gentleman. Gear up and fly the Pirate Flag 
    What in the hell are you talking about? Apple has been encouraging employees to get involved with volunteering and community service for 40 years. Since before Apple's own pirate flag flying.

    It was Tim Cook who brought it up, by the way.
    Try this:  The company is at a critical competitive cross road.   The future is at stake.  And you are offended I suggest they should not spent time discussing community volunteering at the fist all-hands after the earning call?     It is all hands on deck right now 

    And yes, I know Cook brought it up

  • Tim Cook isn't going to get fired, and Steve Jobs isn't rolling over in his grave

    Cook needs to get rid of all DEI at Apple.   It is a cancer that kills internal culture and allows 2nd tier employees to exist at the company.  Apple still has "Racial Equity and Justice" and "Inclusion and Diversity" links on its home page.   It is disgusting 

    Competitors are  moving faster, more aggressively, and only care if an employee can deliver results.    While Apple is primarily focused that everyone, regardless of talent, is "included". 

    This is going to kill this company

  • How Donald Trump's election as U.S. President could affect Apple

    red oakred oak
    Your obviously seething about the election results, being you were so far up the Democrats and HRC's asses

    BTW, it's a 10% tax holiday and then 15% going forward on all foreign earnings. Apple will be all over this and will be able to bring $200B back to the US if they wish 

    More important, it would be a 15% income tax on everything going forward, vs the current 26% Apple has been accruing.  It would be a massive windfall and dramaticallly improve operating results of the company going forward.  Was this too inconsequential for you to mention in your tirade?
