  • Genius Bar doesn't hire retired Apple engineer, fires up age discrimination debate

    I too interviewed for a Genius Bar position some years ago. At the time I had 15 years of Mac experience both in educational and corporate environments. I answered all the tech questions they threw at me. But I too never heard back. I was 35. I figured I was both too old and too experienced for them. Apple Stores impress me as wanting youngsters who they can pay less and also mold to their culture.

  • Apple FAQ responds to investor queries about $14.5B EU tax edict

    jannl said:
    advantage
    There. That's the key to all those who oppose being in the EU:  "advantage". The EU prevents one country from screwing over another one to gain an advantage. That's exactly what this case is about; Ireland trying to get more money at the cost of the other EU members. As for Greece, it's in the spot it's in because it mismanaged its human resources, allowing too many people to retire far too early and mooch off the few who continued to work. It dug a hole that the EU is helping it out of; it would be in full-blown depression without the EU.  So all of you decrying the EU and cheering for more Brexits, you don't realize the implications of what you're saying. The EU is a *smart* thing to exist and to be a member of. Breaking it up would be a pretty direct analogy to breaking up the U.S.A.; each state would have to fend for itself. All 50 would struggle while the ignorant masses would cheer that each was able to achieve its own "identity". How foolish.

  • Questionable photos of space black 'iPhone 7 Plus' appear online

    I really hope these come with a Lightning-to-3.5mm headphone adapter. Just yesterday we set up a child's toy that required we connect it to the headphone jack of one of our phones. The whole time I couldn't help but think "It's a good thing none of us have an iPhone 7..."

  • Apple now licensing OpenTV streaming technologies, ends worldwide litigation

    So members of the Kudelski Group now get to retire on millions of dollars that they didn't rightfully earn but managed to legally squeeze Disney, Apple, Cisco, and Google for. Great "work" if you can get it. What a country. /s

  • Apple shuttlebus drivers vote in favor of first contract after unionization

    Good for them. Don't let anyone tell you unions no longer have a place in our society; this is proof they do.
