As Sal Tassio said in The Godfather, “It’s only business.”.
When NCO started having trouble I predicted they would just go underground and start selling to anyone. Looks like that’s exactly what they want to do. 
Ladies and gentlemen. I present to you Capitalism in its purest form.

Just as I told you when you made the exact same post on another Mac oriented website, you screwed up the quote and misattributed it. You don’t look too cool right now. Maybe even foolish. Only someone trying to be your version of cool screws up quotes from one of the most quoted gangster scenes in cinema history.

First, it's Tessio, not Tassio. Sal Tessio.

Second, it was said by the Michael Corleone to Sonny Corleone, not by Sal Tessio. Tessio is in the room, but he did not say that. It was said slightly differently three times in that scene. Once by Tom Hagen, once by Sonny Corleone and then the more famous one, that is quoted, by Michael Corleone to Sonny when he questioned Michael about shooting the crooked cop McCluskey.

Messing up Godfather quotes and misattributing them is a mortal sin. Doing twice via a copy/paste between websites is even more serious. The Godfather would be displeased.

they should have called it Apple Junk.

What exactly is your point besides letting everyone know you are miserable and hate Apple? Sad to be like that and be so angry.

You remind me of the guy who voluntarily goes to the party and then sits in the corner pouting and muttering that everyone else is a jerk, while secretly praying someone walks up to them and asks what's wrong so they can whine about how unfair life is to them.

Any time Facebook loses talent, it's good for other tech companies and a plus for the human race.

For me, only Waze is worth using if I am driving. Google maps and Apple Maps lack user input and immediate updates for all kinds of things, but in particular, accidents, debris, emergency service vehicles and yes, the location of Police. Without these things those two are essentially useless for me when driving. Walking, biking and public transport is a different story.

It’s still Zuckerberg and still Facebook.

Only Zuckerberg and his but kissing board think this will change what they are.

Another device that will continue to add space between what's in your head and reality. I prefer reality.

It will be cool, but no thanks. 

 Clearly, devices make it better for teachers and students and provide more options and customization. But frankly, I am not buying the cost savings angle and the article doesn't offer any proof. It also says "after the initial investment ..." Well the initial investment is huge and disregarding it pokes huge holes in the claim of cost savings whether it is taxpayers or parents footing the bill or a combo of that and what about families who can't afford $300-$1000? Schools should put the squeeze or corporations and foundations to pay the devices. After all, the big are taxpayer subsidized anyway.

The story is complete BS. I read the original story and it does not contain one relevant fact. It is based on "Two sources say ..."

So these morons want to have the u ion but also have all the benefits from non union employees. Cook needs to start leaning from Musk. These entitled losers needs to be removed, I say this as a 25 year shareholder 

I think Cook did mention Apple will slow hiring and reduce head count soon.

I would look at Towson store and start with the worse performing employees

How long you have held Apple stock is irrelevant and seems to be little more than a comment to somehow elevate your status and bestow some kind of special credibility on you. It did not work very well.

You think are some kind of anti-union tough guy? Laughable at best, but shameful in the least.

BTW, I've held Apple stock longer than you and am not much of a union supporter.  None of that changes my summation of your comment.

If the vehicle is a recent model it will have the equivalent of a black box and we’ll see if his story holds up. And of course Apple will be sued for failing to protect its customers and employees. To crash through the glass entry and stop only when it hit the rear wall, as the article points out, that car must have been moving really quick. The investigators will be crawling up his rear to see if he has any history with Apple, good or bad. 

The story he told is exactly as it happened. Its already held up -  foot stuck on the accelerator and no braking. All the black box will do in this case is confirm what he said. Alcohol test was negative and you can bet if they took a blood test for other drugs, it will likely be negative too. 

Horrible accident is what this is. It is not some conspiracy driven plot.

I wonder of the driver, a 52 year old guy, is an iPhone user or android!
