Amber Alert on AirPods damaged teenager's hearing, lawsuit claims
As someone who got hearing damage from a loud noise like this and now have to suffer with tinnitus for the rest of my life I can definitely see how this could happen. The amber alerts are ridiculously loud.On a side note i can see how to disable them on the iPhone, but does anyone know how to turn them off on an iPad?
Thanks for any info.

IRS suing Facebook for $9B in unpaid taxes
Agree and I can barely believe the current administration are the ones going after them in the first place. This is especially true since it is facebook spreading so much of the fake news that actually helps Trump. I guess they need a pretend enemy to get money for walls and military expansion.StrangeDays said:Great. Can you next go after Amazon, Netflix, FedEx, Nvidia, Starbucks, etc, all who pay $0 in annual income tax?

Considering that "corporations are people too" (and as such are entitled to freedom of speech via unlimited spending), I find it odd that corporations can spend their money re-investing in business assets (buildings, servers, etc) tax-free, but actual humans have to pay income tax first, then can spend our money re-investing in assets like our homes. Why do we have to pay taxes first, but corporations do not?

Review: Promise Pegasus R4i and J2i add massive storage to the new Mac Pro
Nice to see these as an option but I think I'm sticking with my OWC Thunderbays outside the computer. Much cheaper and actually portable.
I believe OWC just came out with drives to go inside as well that seem much faster than anything the Pegasus offers.

Multinational tech giants like Apple often 'pay taxes nowhere,' says German minister
Which is why the laws need to be changed, or these massive corps should face massive fines, not slaps on the wrists and the CEOs get actual jail time. Enough its enough.designr said:
Yep. And that's all I pay too. It's all anyone should pay. This political blathering is just whining about companies and people using the laws as they are currently written to their fullest advantage to keep the money they've earned. Nothing wrong with that. Don't like it? Change the laws. Jurisdictional arbitrage happening? Well, I guess that's life unless we want some kind of one world government (at least for taxation) and eliminate independent nations.AppleInsider said:
Apple CEO Tim Cook has famously insisted that "We pay all of the taxes we owe,"...

Hands on with LaCie's new USB-C mobile drives designed with the Mac in mind
I've had so many problems with LaCie drives and such horrible customer support I will never buy another one of their products.
