I wonder how Facebook might change if execs also got prison time, in addition to these fines.

We need to actually start holding executives accountable. Either financially or with prison time. Until then nothing will change. They will continue with their crap, and if they get let go they just cash in their $10M severance package while the rest of the 99% deals with the fallout of their crooked leadership. If Zuckerberg had to pay $10 for every leak, you know damn well they would stop.

Except that it makes no sense unless they are directly involved (with whatever the issue is) and there is evidence proving it. There's another article on AI today about a lawsuit over defective sleep/wake buttons. Is Tim Cook responsible for that? What about the engineers who designed and tested the sleep/wake button and its flex cable? Aren't they more accountable than Tim Cook? Do you think he should go to jail if there's an iCloud breach? Because I'm pretty sure TC isn't the one actually running the data centers and monitoring traffic and securing the servers.

Can any of Facebook's leaks of data or poor data management be directly linked to specific decisions made by Zuckerberg? If so, then sure, hold him responsible. But if someone far below him made a coding error or checked the incorrect box why should Zuckerberg do the time? Should Jeff Bezos be headed to prison since Amazon employees could tie the Echo recordings they're transcribing to a name and physical address of who was speaking when the recording was made?

Should we also start sending parents to jail when their kids break the law?

Hate the way that market cap is determined. All on conjecture and futures. The idea that MS is more valuable than Apple is preposterous. Apple earns more in a quarter than Microsoft does in a year. 

And the majority of Apple’s revenue/profit comes from iPhone. Once sales on that start to slow down, Apple will be “less valuable” than Microsoft again, while Microsoft keeps on staying diverse with its products.

Diverse products? They get all their money from software and client licenses. Very minimal product line.

Looking into the future which in the computer world you try to do with some success. I would stay away from HD's and drop the extra money on a 2TB SSD and get as much RAM as you can afford and what the hardware can hold. 

Blathering nonsense. It all depends on what you are going to be doing with the machine. Typical home use would be email, browsing, online shopping, social media, downloading some photos, and maybe watching a few movies. Maybe Quicken for finances, Office 365 for the rest. The lowest priced 21.5 iMac with a 5400 RPM spinning drive would be more than enough for those tasks. Don’t try to impose your needs and wants on typical market. If you want all the bells and whistles, fine, buy them.  

A guy gives his opinion on what he would do and you call it "Blathering nonsense". You do realize it's possible to respond to a comment without pouring self-rightous sauce all over yourself. Try words like "I disagree because..."

I disagree with your comment because as mentioned by others, email, browsing, online shopping, social media and the other light-weight use cases you mentioned can all be done on a phone which 99% of us all have. I would go with the SSD on an iMac. Spinning disks on computers need to go away.
