  • Tim Cook wants Apple to buy Manchester United soccer team

    Apple should remain laser focused on its own business model. Not go all “Squirrel!” and start buying football clubs. And ironically, buying the rights to “Squirrel” (Disney) actually makes more sense than Man U

  • Anti-union talks continue at Apple Store in Reston, VA

    Apple is probably pushing the boundaries of what is permissible and it’s all being reported online. Unions are not wholly altruistic either. But their antics don’t get reported to the same degree. 
    There are advantages and disadvantages to unions. And yes, seniority is the primary currency of unions.

  • Apple Towson union files labor complaint against Apple over withholding benefits

    The problem I see brewing is every individual Apple Store seems to be negotiating they’re own contract. Each will have their own demands but each will also want whatever the other unions got. It’s going to become a mess real quick. 

    Also, the individual stores’ unions will have very little power. If you’re going to do this, go big. At least by country. If I were Apple HR I would much rather negotiate once. And if I were a nationwide Apple union. I’d have a helluva lot more leverage.

  • Gambling App Store ads are showing up next to addiction recovery apps

    Isn’t it a good thing that addiction recovery ads appear next to gambling apps so that gamblers can get help?
    You might want to put addiction recovery app ads next to searches for gambling apps. But you don’t want to put gambling app ads next to searches for addiction recovery apps.

  • Elon Musk moving forward on Twitter deal, and might mean it this time

    Pretty sure Musk meant to buy Twitter to begin with. 

    But when it came time for checks and balances, Twitter was found to be false advertising it’s true account numbers, and being run like a child’s hobby instead of a responsible business. 

    It’s a great thing. Means we will actually see A core American tenet held high again. 

    I expect most of the staff to go within the next two years, being replaced by competent people who value others, regardless of disagreements in values. 

    Will rejoin once Musk owns it. 
    The problem is Elon waived his ‘checks and balances’ as you call them. He basically signed the contract as-is.
