Amber Alert on AirPods damaged teenager's hearing, lawsuit claims
As someone who got hearing damage from a loud noise like this and now have to suffer with tinnitus for the rest of my life I can definitely see how this could happen. The amber alerts are ridiculously loud.On a side note i can see how to disable them on the iPhone, but does anyone know how to turn them off on an iPad?
Thanks for any info.

Is Apple getting Siri-ous in the face of Amazon's Alexa Echo?
Out of the 300 people I know who use iPhones i know exactly ZERO who actually use SIRI.

Review: Promise Pegasus R4i and J2i add massive storage to the new Mac Pro
Nice to see these as an option but I think I'm sticking with my OWC Thunderbays outside the computer. Much cheaper and actually portable.
I believe OWC just came out with drives to go inside as well that seem much faster than anything the Pegasus offers.

Apple announcement of North Carolina campus 'imminent,' report says
Is this sarcasm? I sure hope so.nunzy said:Apple will get lots of tax breaks. That is the nature of giant corporate entities. We all pay more taxes so that apple or other giant corporations build near us and so maximize their profits.if we don't give tax money to these kinds of giant corporations, they will leave the United States. We can already see that because Apple keeps most of its cash in other countries. the United States needs to give more to Apple to keep it here. -
President Trump mentions Apple's pending US investment in State of the Union address
Of course he does. He needs to take credit for anything to stoke his ego, even though all of this money was already earmarked to be spent on regular employees, etc in the first place.
Where are the ACTUAL jobs? From what I've read Apple will now spend HALF of what it did last year on taxes, which is already a joke.
I love Apple products but give me a break.

IRS suing Facebook for $9B in unpaid taxes
Agree and I can barely believe the current administration are the ones going after them in the first place. This is especially true since it is facebook spreading so much of the fake news that actually helps Trump. I guess they need a pretend enemy to get money for walls and military expansion.StrangeDays said:Great. Can you next go after Amazon, Netflix, FedEx, Nvidia, Starbucks, etc, all who pay $0 in annual income tax?

Considering that "corporations are people too" (and as such are entitled to freedom of speech via unlimited spending), I find it odd that corporations can spend their money re-investing in business assets (buildings, servers, etc) tax-free, but actual humans have to pay income tax first, then can spend our money re-investing in assets like our homes. Why do we have to pay taxes first, but corporations do not?

iPhone could be hit by incoming $500B U.S. tariff threat on Chinese imports
Why should Apple be exclusively spared when others aren't?SpamSandwich said:Pres. Trump previously assured Cook that Apple would not be part of any tariffs. And the Chinese government would be fools to retaliate using Apple as an example. Apple employs tens of thousands of Chinese workers there.

Apple wants to build 324,000 square feet of office space in North Carolina
I agree with both of those statements as well except the corrupt (R) politicians in N Carolina may be the worst of the bunchAppleish said:

Bernie Sanders says government should examine Apple, Google, Facebook breakup
Dumb comment. Bernie has built quite a following and been serving in the gov't for decades fighting the good fight for all Americans, unlike 95% of the gov't on both sides of the aisle who are all bought and paid for. As the longest running independent we should all unite behind him.hodar said:Never allow a person, who hasn't ever built anything; tell you he can run everything. -
