    All the comments here about the captain overreacting are laughable, at best.  The captain doesn't have the luxury of playing it cool when he has human lives that he's responsible for.

    Also LOL at Samsung for still making shitty products.

    Which was the greater danger.   Removing the smoldering phone, already in the containment bag, or having a hundred or two people go down the slides.  Every time I hear about planes deploying slides, there end up being injuries.  

    This is not about an active,  uncontained fire on an airplane.  Of course you evacuate when that happens.  This is about a smoldering phone that was contained in a bag made for that purpose.  On a plane on the ground.   Which is the greater danger?  Throwing/removing the containment bag off the plane or slide evacuating a hundred or two people.   I don’t know the answer but it is a reasonable question and not at all laughable. 
    Fire has smoke. It’s nice the fire was contained but what about the smoke? They weren’t at a terminal gate so how would they get off the plane? How long would the mobile stairs take to get there with all the emergency vehicles on site? Do they even have mobile stairs?

  • Informal Apple survey shows 6% wage gap between men, women

    “isolating the 1,400 technical roles and grouping them by job level, gender, and race“

    Odd nothing on years experience and education?

  • Civil rights groups worldwide ask Apple to drop CSAM plans

    I think the better solution is not to allow the device to store or transmit these kind of image or even take those kinds of photos. Like the color photocopy industry did when the government found out how easy it was to photocopy money and have it look real. Today if you try to photocopy currency you will just get a black image or it just will not produce a copy.

     It is not Apple is not in the business of report laws being broken or spying on people to figure if they broken some law. If they care about kids then prevent the device from contributing to the crime.
    How can Apple do that if no one wants them to “scan images”?

  • German journalism association stokes fear over Apple CSAM initiative

    You would think journalists would get facts rather than use speculation. These same journalists probably use Google apps and do not see the irony there.
