  • Five years after Steve Jobs: an Apple with the courage to say 'No'

    Love the concept of your articles, but you should learn to edit;  I mean talk less; this goes on and on to the extent of stupidity.

    More is not always better; you should learn to say "no" to yourself.

  • Matte black iPhone 7 undergoes brutal scratch, bend test in new video

    actually today's video doesn't offer a fair anything,

    and Appleinsider has made a fool of itself claiming such
    even "they" admit that "Jer..." is an idiot self seeking publicity nut,

    yet they publish this crap anyway

  • Genius Bar doesn't hire retired Apple engineer, fires up age discrimination debate

    While there are pretentious arrogant bigots like Vinod, he is wrong.

    I have as good ideas as I had 30-40 years ago, though they have decreased somewhat due to lack of environmental stimulation (retired 14 years ago).

    I have better ideas than Apple sometimes, even living in a non tech environment.  Something they patented last spring, I tried to give to them no strings attached in 2011, but lawyers you know..., and I an outsider.

    And age??:  a few months ago I got hired by Apple, even with no prior customer service exp in the sense of the job that I was hired for, and I am 73 now.  It is for a college job too, for which one would expect a preference for 18-20 year olds.  And another bone: I am over qualified (PhD, MIT and though somewhat embarrassing, Stanford too), but I WANTED the job and didn't push "oh I am so great", and/or deserving.  I think that I am blessed to work for Apple.

    It is heavy customer service, a bit like a "Genius", and I can assure you that 30 years ago I wouldn't have been hired for it.  Not the "no experience", but the no prime customer service personality, and I was an outstanding engineer then, as good as Scheinberg, or maybe better being at top of my field.  But certainly NOT qualified for Apple style customer service (which I greatly admire and am proud to be a part of).
