Do I blame her? 

HELL NO.

why? Because of Tim Cook's dumb ass  privacy crusade she has one hand tied behind her back.

How the hell can she do here job if Cook refuses to use the data from hundreds of millions of Apple users?

Tim Cook needs to resign. His dumb ass social, policital, and privacy crusades are hurting the company.

Apple has 500 million of the most valuable customers on the planet. Yet Cook refuses to use the data from these customers to open more revenue streams.

Cook preaches privacy, yet Google is still the default search on iOS.
Cook preaches privacy, yet 80-90% of iOS users use Facebook or Google or both.

Its beyond pathetic that Apple's competitors attack Apple's main revenue streams by bringing out hardware products.
Yet Apple refuses to fight back with their own search, social, and AI platforms. 

If Cook had half a brain Apple would have developed and released a Google search competitor by now. Or a Facebook competitor. But because of Cooks dumb ass privacy crusade we see neither. And Amazon, Samsung, Microsoft, ect continue to make inroads into Apple's hardware business.

The day Apple uses my data for their profit is the day I quit using Apple products. If you want a major corporation to use your data please switch over to anything Google or Facebook. 

And yet 80-90% of iOS users use Facebook or Google or both.

Close to 99% use Facebook or Google or Amazon or Netflix. All of these companies use your data.

No one cares. Especially not the majority of Apple customers.

The only one who cares is Tim Cook.

I'll not buy until the battery lasts at least a week

Good luck with that. You'll be waiting until mankind invents new battery tech. 

garmin vivoactiv lasts 13 days.
how?
they allow you to selectively turn off the GPS 

Does it also do notifications, payments, apps, and music in addition to the activity tracking? Looks like it may do music but certainly doesn't do apps and notifications. Small detail, huh?

Obviously it doesn't do as much as the AW0, which has absolutely no GPS but doesn't get that kind of battery life. 

Hint: all of our gear uses the same core battery tech.

Sorry. No. We know how the government “calculates” its shit. We know it’s wrong. I don’t care about their dialectic or how they want to try to reframe the definition of ‘unemployed’. I care about the number of working age individuals who aren’t, and it’s nowhere near 4 and a half fucking percent.

any unemployment stats yet??
 lets just see from 2000 until now...

 anything?

 i want to see the trend of *your* numbers

You can look at official report. They all match my view that Obama did a fantastic job at fixing our economy after the last Republican president.

no, i want to see the data that is showing you 30 million unemployed, and i want to see the same data over the past 15 years or so.

let's see you back your opinion up with data. 

Why should I have to back up the official reports from the Department of Labor? My statements are factual, not opinion.

If you believe that nearly 100 Million (42%) Americans are unemployed—or whatever conspiracy theory that's popular today—then you need to provide evidence to support that claim, not the other way around.
