I like that Apple does this. They're making it clear that "News" in China would be a watered-down version of reality; therefore, rather than giving people an imperfect experience, they turn you away completely and encourage you to find a complete so…

I don't consider getting paid to be at work an entitlement. It's Apple's decision to either have their employees stand around in security checkpoints, stock shelves, help customers, etc. It's an hourly job. If they don't want to pay hourly, they …

The ruling states that "the [screening] process was not 'integral and indispensable' to their jobs." Since "indispensable" means "required", that means the security checks are now optional. Otherwise, Justice Thomas lied in his own justification o…

Keep in mind, this percentage is on top of the taxes that were already paid in the jurisdiction in which the profit was earned. Apple still pays the 35% rate on all income generated within the U.S. and whatever local taxes are required in other cou…

Yep, it looks the same, but it says this patent was filed in 2003 so that may mean Google Voice is now in violation.

This is the long lost iPhone 2. What appears to be a 5 in the shadow is really the mirror image of a number 2.

Apple should collect a percentage of train ticket sales, out of fairness, for the traffic they're driving to the station.

I'd like to know how much money the TV networks make on a per-viewer per-episode basis on regular TV. If they're currently making less than $1 per person in advertising profit then they should clearly take this deal since it would provide them an o…

This 20% marketshare theory doesn't make any sense. Apple is a vicious competitor and will out-maneuver any competitor. If marketshare begins to slide Apple has lots of quick solutions they can make for that problem (cut prices, add features, su…

I think this is a terrible use of tax dollars. I personally never learned anything on a computer in school that I couldn't have learned from a book. This is needlessly wasteful. Computers are not educational, they dumb you down like TV.

Apple should just give away Mac OS X and charge you $1 every time your computer boots up, regardless of what hardware it's running on. This is fair for everyone.

I'd pay $20 a month for 1 Gb of data with 0 minutes (10 cents a minute). Why can't they have a plan like that?
