Hands on: Default Folder X for macOS transforms how you use and retrieve documents
Default Folder is a truly great app, and Jon Gotow, the developer, has been quite responsive. I can't imagine living without it.

Apple leads brick-and-mortar retail with $5,546 in sales per square foot
"$5,546 per square foot". . .over what period of time? I don't see where it says that.

In MIT speech, Tim Cook says Apple offered him a 'higher purpose'
I thought it was a good speech, apparently uncolored by any political bias. Tim is continuing to show that Steve chose the best possible steward of Apple's legacy and philosophy.
I think Apple's continuing rising statistics are the best possible gauge of the enduring relevancy and validity of the purpose with which Steve endowed it.
Apple's latest product and services offerings revealed at this year's WWDC also give me good hope for Apple's continued prosperity.

Apple's iPhone scores 92% loyalty rate ahead of 'iPhone 8' launch, study finds
Penny wise, pound foolish. It IS your fault for not getting Apple Care!digital_guy said:Not with me. 64 GB 6S purchased Jan. ’16, service (for whatever reason) disabled, Feb., 2017.
Tired of finger-pointing. Have gone through hoops. Somehow, failure of the device has become my fault. Won’t mention carrier, billing history is spotless. What irks me, they have audacity to continue billing for services not rendered. Is that .. legal? They've actually altered a contract before without my consent.
Apple customer since 1984, this may be first ‘lemon’.
Didn't purchase AppleCare, device wasn't to be and hasn't been used in harsh environment. Guess I should have. Stuck paying off (and services for) a brick.
Don’t know how much any company values loyalty until you need help

Apple awards glassmaker Corning $200M to grow made in USA jobs with Advanced Manufacturing...
We don't need more socialism. We need to keep draining the swamp, which includes rampant corruption, insurrection, etc. throughout "higher education" which doesn't educate nearly enough. With Trump's administration, there is new emphasis on technical/vocational education, which have been seriously lacking for decades. This brand of education will much more effectively supply the revived job market with people who actually know how to do useful things, thus making themselves truly employable.macxpress said:
One way would be to give every American, not just rich ones at least a chance to get a quality education for free. New York State is kinda doing something like this where if you make under I think its $120,000 or 100,000/yr you can go to College for free. There are some catches to it such as you have to live in NYS for at least 4yrs after gravitating or else it turns into a loan and there are a couple of other things that I wish weren't there. But, at least its a start. Why can't the US as a whole do this? There are a lot of people in this country that have great potential, but don't want a $100,000+ debt to get there that they may never be able to pay off. We need to start helping the lower and middle class instead of focusing on padding the top 1%'s pockets. We will seriously fail in the end otherwise in my opinion. It may take a while, but this country will start to fail.lkrupp said:Glad to see Apple finally putting out a little PR to show it does indeed create jobs in the U.S. Such a large corporation cannot help but be responsible for thousands of jobs. But that won’t silence the critics of course. This whole “bring manufacturing back to the U.S.” is a sham. Low skilled workers here have no future except for low wage service jobs. It’s also why we’re seeing the push for artificially regulated minimum wages and a resurgence of idea of guaranteed income in which taxpayers will pay you a decent salary to sit on your ass all day long and play Candy Crush on your free smartphone with unlimited data. By the way, I don’t know the answer to the problem of unskilled labor but the educational system sure hasn’t helped.
