Apple paid fine for hazardous material handling at North Carolina data center
Yep, completely agree. $40K to a (near) Trillion Dollar company is not something that would make it think twice, so you'd have to question whether it is an effective deterrent (and let's face it, the purpose of a fine is to try and deter you from re-offending). Now compare that to a $40K fine for a $500K company. That smaller company would take notice.Soli said:A $40k fine for improper handling of hazardous waste? How is that in any way a disincentive to a company as large and profitable as Apple?I'm a strong supporter of % based fines rather than fixed rate, so they are more meaningful as a deterrent.

Testing the speed of iOS 11 versus iOS 12 on the iPhone 6 and iPad Mini 2
@Entropys, your closing statement is nothing short of bullying and pretty unacceptable. Why does @tylersdad need to take a look at himself? Because he was unimpressed with the results? When I read the article I was too - it was nothing like the magnitude spruked in the keynote... so some of us are disappointed with this first round of results. If it’s a valid exercise to test the beta and publish preliminary results, then it’s valid for everyone to be able to express their reactions to it - constructively & without being shut down.entropys said:
1: its beta. You might have a case if the final doesn’t meet your exacting standards.tylersdad said:I realize this isn't the final release of the OS, but...
The results for the mini don't really seem that impressive. You're saving a second here and there on apps that take 15+ seconds to launch. It's nice to see Apple focusing on improving performance, but this will likely do little for those of us who don't buy the latest and greatest.
2: you will be surprised how little things add up to a snappier feel.
3: what other company on the planet supports smartphones this old? Maybe pixel devices. No one else. I suggest you take a good look at yourself.

Super fast bionic glass: iPhone 8 Review
It's possible to be a disappointed Apple user... and even be willing to say it on this site.yojimbo007 said:
Well your post sounds like a comeback from samsung .Jellygoop said:Guys, is this an objective review or a marketing sheet from Apple? I love Apple products and am a committed customer but I really wish this site would also do a serious review about the fact that many of us are really disappointed with the 8/X/Watch offerings. There's not a lot of evolution in them in terms of User experience or features. Wireless charging is great - but I've been doing that on the 7S with a cheap Qi add-on for over 6mths now. Photos are great - but I get frustrated that my friend's Samsung still has better click and point shots/video when we're at the same concert. I don't even bother to post mine online. Airpods are great - but I still need to use the buttons on the phone to change the volume... or have the music go silent while Siri listens to my request to turn it down a notch. LTE on the Watch is great... but i still can't get through a full day without having to charge it... so don't count on recording your sleep patterns followed by an early morning jog. Maybe if the Apple developers & execs had to pay full price for all the upgraded models (relative to their income) they'd look at the "value-add" of these new models in a different way.
