Police, GreyShift struggle to keep iPhone unlocking tool purchases secret
Law Enforcement (sic) often applies the "If you have nothing to hide..." mentality when it comes to citizens' complaints about police snooping. Yet they are strident in their defense of secrecy when it comes to issues like GrayKey and similar police state tools. They can't have it both ways.

Bribery case against Apple security chief Thomas Moyer dismissed
Hmmmm, I wonder if there's a reason why they may need armed security22july2013 said:
Yes. Exactly. My point was that Apple opposes the use of guns in America... except for itself. Tim Cook calls for gun control, but doesn't practice what he preaches:sconosciuto said:
for the executive protection team, surely that means firearms for bodyguards for Cook and Maestri and other senior executives who could be targets for kidnapping/ransom or threatened by crazy/angry people.22july2013 said:Why would Apple need guns to do its business?

"Apple won a temporary restraining order against a man who allegedly stalked and harassed CEO Tim Cook and other company executives."

New antitrust legislation targets Apple, other tech giants
"While the Democratic Party has the majority, it is only slight. The bill will need Republican support in order to make such sweeping changes, and Republicans do not want to break up large businesses in the same way."
Not true. With a 50-50 split, the Dems could pass it with every one of their members supporting it and VP Harris casting the tie-breaking vote. It would take just one Dem to be against it, which is highly likely; Manchin comes to mind, although depending on lobbying, I'm sure there could be one or two more Dems.

Jeff Bezos to step down as Amazon CEO, AWS chief Andy Jassy to fill role in Q3
Quarterly Operating Income: Apple = $12.67B VS Amazon = $6.87B. So much for "back to the drawing board for Apple"gmgravytrain said:I can't imagine why Bezos would do something like that. I don't think big investors will be happy hearing this news. I know it shouldn't make a difference but big investors have some weird ways of thinking about succession issues.Wow! Amazon's revenue of $125B absolutely crushed Apple's measly $111B. No wonder investors are dumping Apple. I guess you can't blame them for wanting to own a company that makes that much money. I suppose Bezos can step down after that sort of finale performance. It's back to the drawing board for Apple.

Some M1 Mac owners encounter Bluetooth connectivity issues
I had issues a couple days ago. But had to reset my AW due to other issues. Has worked flawlessly since. Of course, now I'm having intermittent trouble connecting my Beats Flex headphones since yesterday.rmg007 said:Anybody else having difficulty getting their MBA to Auto Unlock with their Apple Watch?
