Why does everyone cling to the Jobs fantasy? He is dead and the fairy tale has been over for quite some time. Apple is not the same company as it was a decade ago or even 20 years ago. It is likely to have been a failure if it tried to stay that way. Jobs hand picked Cook. He knew exactly what he was picking.

This is business. There are billions on the table and why should they walk away from it? Why should they let another company take the money? Their job is to make money for their owners. 

You can not escape this by dumping Apple and going over to the dark side. It will only be worse and cost you a lot of money to make a change that you will regret.

Just now I remembered something another member said just a few months ago, and that he assured us was true. That on-device file scanning and reporting to Apple that's assumed to be just about discovering child porn was claimed to have as much to do with upcoming Apple advertising plans. We thought he was nuts, but now I'm not so sure. 

He is nuts. Resist an impulse to join him.

Pretty dumb of her given her 100% knowledge of Apple's policies.

The issue is breaking employment rules. It's not about punishing her for what seems to be a good deed. Every Apple employee knows the rules and they know you face a strong likelihood of being fired if you break them.

It’s still Zuckerberg and still Facebook.

Only Zuckerberg and his but kissing board think this will change what they are.

As Sal Tassio said in The Godfather, “It’s only business.”.
When NCO started having trouble I predicted they would just go underground and start selling to anyone. Looks like that’s exactly what they want to do. 
Ladies and gentlemen. I present to you Capitalism in its purest form.

Just as I told you when you made the exact same post on another Mac oriented website, you screwed up the quote and misattributed it. You don’t look too cool right now. Maybe even foolish. Only someone trying to be your version of cool screws up quotes from one of the most quoted gangster scenes in cinema history.

First, it's Tessio, not Tassio. Sal Tessio.

Second, it was said by the Michael Corleone to Sonny Corleone, not by Sal Tessio. Tessio is in the room, but he did not say that. It was said slightly differently three times in that scene. Once by Tom Hagen, once by Sonny Corleone and then the more famous one, that is quoted, by Michael Corleone to Sonny when he questioned Michael about shooting the crooked cop McCluskey.

Messing up Godfather quotes and misattributing them is a mortal sin. Doing twice via a copy/paste between websites is even more serious. The Godfather would be displeased.
