  • Apple liable for millions in unpaid wages after court rules retail worker bag checks illeg...

    Extremely disappointed with Apple. The court shouldn’t be telling them to do the right thing, Apple should’ve done it themselves. The Apple Store employees are the true ambassadors of the brand, doing a better job than any TBWA/Media Arts Lab commercial.

  • Foxconn says coronavirus will not impact manufacturing, Apple has alternatives ready

    “We have alternate sourcing and contingency plans," Cook said during today's conference call. "Factories outside Wuhan are less clear. We are trying to factor in factory re-opening delays into our guidance.”

    Once again, Tim Cook has proven to be the King of the Supply Chain. Almost everything pundits like to parrot - Apple’s revenues too dependent on the iPhone, iPhone market too saturated - he was already working on before they even became problems. I’ll bet you, despite Cook’s assurances, a few analysts are going to downgrade Apple’s because of what’s happening in Wuhan.

    People on the internet in the area report that the number of actual infected is about 90-100k. Chinese gov-t, just like soviet gov-t, simply downplays the issue.
    If you’re going to quote a number like that, I would provide references. People should know more than, “people on the internet.” 
    You do realize that 90 000 infected people is nothing for China, where the entire population is 1.5B? 
    I dont get all this skepticism, because I am surprised that it is not in the millions, given how poor the Chinese heath system is and how close people live to each other there and to animals. Anyway, here is a link. NYP talks about it here... the article should have a link to the video.

    Oh brother. First of all, the number of infected the entire world for the SARS virus was 8000. How did they get 90000 so soon? The article said the nurse did not tell how she arrived at her numbers. Sorry, bad reference at the NYPost with its tabloid headlines knows it. If this ever hit close to home, you would hope you would get accurate information. 90000 my ass.

  • Profile of Apple procurement exec details iron fist supplier negotiations

    the monkthe monk
    Oh boy, ha-ha, a-hole big time. I admit, people with possible sociopathic characteristics make the best negotiators. There’s no way I would want someone like him as a friend, he couldn’t turn off these tendencies in his personal life. Interesting piece, liked the article. I don’t think there’s anything illegal exposed in the article, but I can see the European Commission taking note of him, and investigating his activities when the time comes.
