  • Apple offers Austin relocation to 121 San Diego employees in office closure

    “We've been part of the community in San Diego for more than two decades and are thrilled to continue investing here as we expand our world-class teams.” – Apple, July 2022

    “Decide on moving to Austin, Texas in ~45 days or else!” – Apple, January 2024

    What an incredible F-You by Apple :#

  • Apple could avoid US Apple Watch ban with software update

    This is ridiculous. There should be a veto and after all appeals are exhausted Apple should pay a steep price if they're still found to be infringing Maximo's IP. An import ban at this point would cause unnecessary harm for consumers.

  • Boy petitions Apple to change 'nerd face' emoji

    Facebook got it right, Apple didn't. Change it.

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

    One would think Google would implement timely updates after being sued for similar faulty info in the past. And I can't believe the victim blaming and outrageous claims/assumptions about the victim. A bit of digging from news stories years before the tragedy and looking at the attorney's filings show this isn't a case of a "money grab" or "sue everybody in sight" strategy. The named parties are all partially responsible for this man's death.

    Tragically, as he drove cautiously in the darkness and rain, he unsuspectingly followed Google’s outdated directions to what his family later learned for nearly a decade was called the “Bridge to Nowhere,” crashing into Snow Creek, where he drowned. The complaint alleges Hickory residents repeatedly tried to get Google Maps to route traffic away from the washed-out, collapsed bridge, and to get the owners of the hazardous private road/bridge to fix the danger and erect proper barriers and warning signs until it was safe.

  • 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.
