  • Google is being sued after bad map directions led a man to his death

    Yes, Google in the headline generates more clicks. But the family is suing all those that played a part in this tragedy, including those that own the bridge, the adjacent land and Google that was warned about the collapse for at least two years before this tragedy (and again, the bridge collapsed more than nine years prior). Once discovery is complete I'm sure that there will be even more evidence of Google's negligence. Not to mention: 
    "Google Maps still shows a road over Snow Creek. Right: Apple Maps correctly shows the absence of a bridge"
    This nearly a year after the tragedy.

  • Ex-Apple employee files RICO lawsuit over whistleblower retaliation

    She's throwing in the entire kitchen sink. A common tactic with the hope that many of the claims makes it through. Given Apple's illegal tactics in the past (and ongoing bad acts in multiple jurisdictions), I'm sure at least some of the charges she's made will be allowed to go to trial.


    Except you don't know the history of what's been required of her to get answers.
    I know Apple was cited for breaking the law on multiple occasions and in multiple jurisdictions. She was one of the employees that put a stop to Apple's decree to not share salary info (a violation of employee rights in Calif). They have also been cited for union-busting tactics/unfair labor practices in Atlanta and Oklahoma City. And there is strong evidence of the same in New York-Grand Central and Towson, Maryland. She's a lawyer and knows that some of the charges will be dismissed due to the delaying tactics of Apple. She's also outlined the ongoing trickery from Apple from the start.

  • Apple launches third 'Impact Accelerator' for training minority-owned businesses

    Cool. 

    No can we get one for poor white kids who grew up with nothing please? 
    It's not intended for "kids" but rather for leaders of companies in order to help them become possible Apple suppliers.
    Originally launched in 2021, Apple's "Impact Accelerator" program is a three-month training series where the selected leaders gain what's previously been described as "the knowledge and tools needed" to be a successful Apple supplier.

  • AirTag-owning husband talked out of tracking down stolen AirPods clone

    "She's like, 'do you want to die over a hundred dollar [headphone]?'" says Krantz. "I'm like, no, you're right. Let's let the police figure that out."

    Always let the police handle it. And it they refuse, chalk it up as a loss. Not worth your life.

  • Smuggler taped-up with 68 iPhones didn't fool Chinese customs officials

    Are people that stupid? By now this old tactic should have been retired. They simply need to bribe the right people.
