Fired Apple employee who aired workplace concerns gets approval to sue company
Bosa said:Let her do it and we can see the psychopath in all her gloryDoctor Bosa, I sense your diagnosis is based on articles you read in tech media and thecomments from readers? If so, I applaud your scientific approach to diagnosing and labeling someone a psychopath.Can you define psychopath without looking up the definition? -
Germany wants Apple to offer iPhone updates and parts for 7 years
Lots of gloating about how this isn't a problem for Apple and how Android manufacturers will suffer. The haha syndrome. Do you only care because your beloved Apple is unlikely to be affected?
The real issue is more government regulation and more distortion of free markets. What's the next thing they mandate? -

GeorgeBMac said:That is the mark of a quality corporation as well as a quality individual: Realizing that they are not perfect and everything thing they do is not inherently the right thing.It's a humility that enables one to admit and correct mistakes -- or at least examine that they may have been mistakes.Was this the right thing or the wrong thing to do? The mere fact that Apple sees that as a valid question speaks highly of them.Good job Apple!
This is far from dead and you laud them forgetting the implications and actions that led to what they were going to do. It is like the convicted thief who repents after getting caught. He/she/they are still a thief until they establish otherwise through building a history of doing the right thing and one mere act to step back does not establish them as having changed. It just takes one lie to make someone dishonest, but it takes a massive number of honest acts to reestablish yourself as trustworthy after you have violated the compact of trust.
Yes, I give them credit for pulling back, but praising their "humility" and framing it as right thing versus wrong thing speaks highly of them? Come on George. They screwed up big and only temporarily pulled back because the outrage and anger far exceeded anything they expected. This does not equate to "Realizing that they are not perfect or humility or any of the intrinsic characteristics you suggest.
With that one simple act, Apple destroyed several decades of the good will and trust they had built on the subject of privacy. It is not mended by them pulling back temporarily. -
