  • Turkey's president calls for boycott of Apple products

    JanNL said:
    I just don't see this having a huge impact on Apple.  People know and love the products.  Apple is not putting the tariffs on these imports.  Thoughts?
    Agree, but you could be surprised as how the people of Turkey ánd Turkish people living in the rest of Europe are slavishly following their "leader". It's unbelievable how some reasonably smart Turkish people are swallowing all the nonsense Erdogan is putting out... but they do.
    Hmmm, that sounds familiar. As I recall, somebody else once called for a ban on Apple. Can’t quite remember the name . . .

  • Review: Kwikset Premis HomeKit lock chews through batteries, disappoints

    I have to chime in. First of all, rewinding and fast-forwarding through a YouTube video is hardly "guesswork." Making use of the duration time and the scrub-bar makes the process a bit more accurate than that. I get that replacing batteries every six weeks is sub-par performance for a 'smart' lock set but I wouldn't consider removing and replacing three screws and replacing a battery to be particularly onerous. The review initially comments that Kwikset's solution to the fingerprint on gloss surface number pad to be "a nice one." The conclusion then states that in certain instances (arms full) it's "a none-starter." Huh? I'm not sure that conclusion is warranted anyway. I'm guessing that if you can punch in four numbers (or whatever) two additional can't be that big of a deal. I'm not defending all the comments, but FOUR editorial responses? Wow.

  • Elizabeth Warren confirms Apple is on her big tech breakup list

    Screw her, AOC, who thinks the country is barely above garbage, and the rest of these collectivist leftists that want to destroy our economic system and many great companies, Apple included.

    The Democrat Party has turned into a race towards Communism. They are radical and have the gas pedal planted to the firewall to see who can go furthest left. I'm surprised they haven't called for gulags and re-education camps for white males yet, I guess that's coming soon though.

    As a life-long Democrat, it always amazes me how they manage to shoot themselves in the foot. Amazing.
    That party has lost its mind. They're so out of touch with reality and they don't seem to care.
    I’d suggest this is a pretty common problem these days.

  • AT&T's '5G E' network not faster than 4G on T-Mobile & Verizon

    If we want to fix false advertising, why don't we fix the false advertising in the auto business, where you can buy a 2020 car model in the summer of 2019?
    How is that false advertising? You need to understand how the auto industry works to know why a 2020 model comes out in 2019. 

    FYI read this:

    Ah yes. The old ‘because we’ve always done it this way’ justification. Got it.

  • France and Germany seek to plug tax loopholes exploited by Apple, other tech firms

    So Apple has a "scheme" which is leaving Germany and France "exploited," huh? Quite the slant Mr. Campbell.

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

    "Yes, I'm upset he won because he has no business being our President."

    There's this little thing called a democracy where the people have the power to decide who leads the country and who doesn't. And they have spoken. 
    Approximately 53% of the electorate participated in the voting process. A minority of those voted for Trump. This was enough to get him elected. Hopefully you can do the math.

    If you believe that this misogynistic, bigoted, racist, climate-denying, thin-skinned birther is best qualified to be the leader of the United States then that is your right as a citizen. It does NOT entitle you to confuse mischaracterization with reality to the rest of us.
    In case that first video that I posted wasn't enough for you, then you might enjoy this one


    Oh my.

    Well, the first video was just fine.

    I'll leave it at that. You should've too.

    Good thing we have Obama to inject some sanity into the situation rather than butt-hurt losers like yourself

    No question that President Obama is a class act.

    Your name calling, maybe not so much.
