  • Apple, other tech companies decry North Carolina anti-LGBT law

    There is nothing anti-discrimination about this bill. The Charlotte City Council who were probably paid off, went against the will of the citizens of the city to vote it into law. Now Apple and all these other hypocritical companies want to jump on the bandwagon as if seperate bathrooms isn't the norm. There are separate bathrooms for men and women everywhere all over the world and protects women and children. Also, just because someone self identifies with something doesn't make it true and it doesn't mean that others have to go along with it. If someone in their mind believes they are a car doesn't mean they are a car, and everyone else doesn't have to go along with believing they are a car.  We are and will always be what God made us.

  • Review: Apple's 4" iPhone SE is better than we deserve

    I have various Apple devices and the iPhone 5SE is a nice phone, but I do not agree that it is "better than we deserve". Sure it starts at $399, but it is essentially a phone Apple put together from its own recycling bin, and sells it as new. Every component comes from either the 5s, 6, or 6s which makes this phone dirt cheap to make with crazy profit margins.  That's Cook's Apple, and it's certainly not better then we deserve.

  • Apple's HomePod isn't about Siri, but rather the future of home audio

    I like Apple products and own several of them. I believe the HomePod will be a another good product within its price point. Every article I have read of people who attended its unveiling loved its sound for its price point. They compared it to the Sonos play 3 with some saying it sounded better. None sompared it to the Sonos play 5 nor less a $85,000 speaker set. You have to be realistic in your sound expectations. There is no way Apple would charge less for the HomePod then the Sonos play 5 if it sounded better then it.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook calls for racial equality in light of US shooting deaths

    First of all if Cook really cared about racial equality he would be hiring more African American males and females. Secondly, we have great law enforcement in this country, but it is sad to see how some officers treat African Americans differently. Their have been countless times in this country when people of other races committed horrible crimes such mass murder, but yet were given the opportunity to put their weapon down and leave the scene alive.

  • Apple, 67 other businesses file against North Carolina's HB2 'bathroom' law

    Cook is a hypocrite. Apple's second biggest market is China. Apple makes the majority of its devices in China. Yet China is very anti lbgt. In fact gays are not even allowed in tv shows, movies, commercials, etc. in China. So he is willing to do all of this business in China but comes down on NC for a bathroom law? Most people have never read the Charlotte bathroom ordinance. If they did, they would see why the state implemented HB2 into law. The people of Charlotte didn't want the ordinance(which was brought forth by a registered child sex offender) but it was forced onto them. Businesses, churches, etc would have been forced to allow men (dressed as women or not) into women's facilities. The man could not be removed from the facility as long as he said he identified as a woman (dressed as one or not). Other countries have tried this and quickly changed the law back due to women being abused while in their facilities by men. HB2 protects women and children. Read the law for yourself. Also, sex cannot be changed its in the DNA, Matthew 19:4

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook calls doom and gloom 'huge overreaction,' turns sights to India

    There is no way Cook is going to admit he has read the last page of Job's "How to keep Apple successful" manual. Innovation this past year is unfortunately lacking, and Apple has been stuck promoting things such as the mechanics of a keyboard, watch straps, and a stylus. Nobody cares about the mechanics of a keyboard lol. Hopefully things will change soon, if not Ive or Forstall may be the new CEO's.
