UK blames Apple and Amazon for 'tsunami' of electronic waste
Considering how open Apple has been about their recycling efforts and how every part of an iPhone is recycled, this demonstrates the inevitable trend of government officials only being competent at running for office and staying in office; but having little to know grasp of the subject matter they wrote legislation and regulations about.

Apple Silicon M1 Mac mini review - speed today and a promise of more later
Because of the differences in RAM handling, I would very much like to see a test that compares how well the new model does as a render node, a common use of the prior Mac mini. I don’t imagine I am the only person who is wondering whether or not the 16 GB maximum renders the M1 variant less useful as a render node, or of the new architecture means that 16GB will do just fine when rendering in C4D & other 3D graphics apps.

Apple security chief Thomas Moyer indicted in concealed firearm permit bribery case
You are conflating being victimized by an extortion scheme with wrongdoing, simply because an artful prosecutor with a clear conflict of interest regarding the prosecution of law enforcement was able to manipulate a grand jury that heard no other evidence besides what the prosecutor presented into making the victims into patsies.Terminator402 said:
They both participated in a conspiracy and bribe with a public official with the clear understanding that their "payment or merchandise" would result in them receiving ccw permits that would not normally be issued. It's an illegal quid pro quo and the Grand Jury found it to be a felony criminal act.fahlman said:nikon1 said:So these 2 CLOWNS (Moyer & Chadha) risked their careers and wanted to avoid paying between $200 & $400 to legitimately get their CCW legally? They should be imprisioned for pure greed and stupidity.
What a pair of Morons!Reading comprehension and knowledge of the process is important if you're going to personally attack someone by calling them a moron. In many places the local law enforcement entity is required to approve the issuance of a concealed carry permit. Moyer and Chadha were not trying to avoid paying the fee, as you claim. In this case Undersheriff Sung held up issuing CCW licenses until Moyer and Chadha paid him a bribe. Who's the moron now?
As a point on the character of the two indicted law enforcement members:
” Jensen was indicted earlier this year on similar felony bribery and conspiracy charges in a $90,000 scandal tied to Sheriff Laurie Smith’s re-election campaign. Smith, who has been sheriff since 1998, has not been charged.” (source: 9-to-5-Mac)

You are jumping multiple conclusions. The first u in a that the grand jury wasn’t manipulated by the prosecution in order to prepare a patsy at trial. If you know anything about Grand Jury operation, you should understand the obvious conflict of interest prosecution faces when seeking an indictment against law enforcement, whether for corruption of criminal negligence, such as the negligent discharge that killed sleeping 7 year old Aiyana Stanley-Jones.tylersdad said:
The mind boggles at how Apple managed to clear them, while a Grand Jury chose to indict. If they are found guilty will Apple change their mind? I don't see how they could at this point, but this just looks like Apple protecting Apple employees who have clearly done wrong.vmarks said:tylersdad said:
He attempted to bribe a public official. I can't think of a single company that would allow someone to stay on their roster of employees after that.flydog said:
Why wouldn't he be? Did he steal something from Apple? Jerk off in his office? Not show up for work? There's nothing here to suggest he committed any misconduct while in the scope of his employment.mobird said:Is the Apple Chief Security Officer Thomas Moyer still employed at Apple?According to https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/23/apple-security-chief-accused-of-bribing-officers-in-exchange-for-gun-permits.html Apple found nothing wrong.“We expect all of our employees to conduct themselves with integrity. After learning of the allegations, we conducted a thorough internal investigation and found no wrongdoing,” an Apple spokesperson said in a statement.
Bribing a public official is wrong. But Apple is somehow totally fine with that?
Your second assumption is that Apple came to the wrong conclusion and that their employee wasn’t merely a victim of an extortion scheme.That you presume, based on the facts presented, that Apple erred and that the prosecution is somehow not facing a conflict of interest “boggles” the mind.

No, your comprehension of the situation is the lacking piece. They weren’t trying to skirt fees. Approval of application for a CCW is entirely at the whim of the official. It’s an inherently racist and classist process where even if you have money, a spotless record, have exemplary relevant skills, etc., you can still be turned down, without cause. I can only presume you don’t have a CCW and have no concept of the difference between a shall issue and a may issue state.nikon1 said:“ Jensen reportedly managed to get Moyer to promise that Apple would donate 200 iPads, worth about $70,000, to the Sheriff's Office. Undersheriff sung also extracted from Chadha, the insurance broker, a "promise of $6,000 worth of luxury box seat tickets to a San Jose Sharks hockey game."
In California, it is illegal to carry a concealed firearm without a CCW license that can cost between $200 and $400.
So these 2 CLOWNS (Moyer & Chadha) risked their careers and wanted to avoid paying between $200 & $400 to legitimately get their CCW legally? They should be imprisioned for pure greed and stupidity.
What a pair of Morons!
