  • Apple shareholder's meeting scheduled for Feb 28, nine proposals to be voted on

    All of these proposals are dumb. I'll be voting my shares for the board recommendation of NOPE!

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook urges employees to 'move forward together' in memo on 2016 presidential election

    Great memo Tim, now update the damn Mac Pros and Minis already!

    Seriously though, I think it's a welcome and positive message at a time when many people feel much anxiety over the direction that the country will be heading. Apple and Trump seem at odds over so many issues. Let's hope Trump's more controversial proclamations do not turn into enacted policies that damages any of Apple's/Cook's principles.
    The problem is these so call principles need to be damaged. Apple for whatever reason thinks it is well above the law and doesn't need to be held to the same standards as the small fry out there. Their efforts at tax evasion being one of the more despicable practices. Apple can cloth itself in the cloak of inclusion but all that really does is distract people from their greater sins.


     Cook can bull shit all he wants but frankly it is people like him that drove the population to elect Trump in the first place. Their attitude of screw the government and don't pay taxes, their attitude with respect to the production of hardware, their cozy relationship with a nation hostile to the USA, and their funding of leftist politics, only enrages the voting populace. It doesn't help much that they try to do social good (they have done some good deeds) and at the same time give America a big Fuck you. In the end you end up looking like a truly despicable corporation that tring to buy public favor!!!!!
    Well, IMO, both Apple and Trump's tax practices sound like they are legal (I'm not a lawyer). So, if they are using all the tools in the legal toolbox to minimize profit loss, what is wrong with that? It's the government's job to design the toolbox. Trump said he would change policies that he benefitted from. He sees they are idiotic laws, but why not use them to save money if at all possible? Makes sense to me.

    Seriously?

    When your boss has to tell you to stop arguing over team politics at work,
    that's a clear sign that your team politics are complete immature bullshit.

    Obama was an inexperienced, petty, self-aggrandizing clown, now there's just a different one.
    Grow the fuck up, America.
    The most insufferable people on my FB feed are liberals. I used to be one, so I understand how they hold different views. But I learned as I got older that I cannot justify any and all behavior I feel like engaging in simply because I believe I have the moral high ground. To a triggered liberal, all actions are justified, because their end goals are so completely necessary! No discussion!

    This letter is not too bad. But it comes off as passive-aggressiveness from a sore loser. Do Apple employees need to be reminded to stop arguing about politics, and to just do their job?

  • Tim Cook email response tells sender to 'stay tuned' for Mac refresh

    I would be surprised to see no refresh in October/November. That's just in time for the holiday gift season. I don't think Tim or his assistant(s) would reply in such a way if that were not the case.

  • Apple Pay support coming to Chick-fil-A restaurants this Friday

    Their founder donated to some anti-gay organization, if I recall correctly. So what? What about 99.9% of the rest of their company? If I avoided every company whose CEO was a piece of garbage, I would have few consumer goods companies to buy from. I eat CFA all the time, and I have never once witnessed their employees being anything but extremely polite and competent. That is what matters to me.
