US Labor Board rules Apple illegally interrogated retail staff in NYC
Because it’s all hugs and kisses and photo ops until they have to write a check. Then they act like they’re broke and don’t have the money to give you, but can drop millions on such stupid shit.22july2013 said:FACT #1: Considering how Apple and its senior executives donate 84% of its political donations to the Democrats,

FACT #2: and considering that Democrats are 75% likely to support unions, while Republicans are only 35% likely,

...then why does Apple act so much like Republicans when it comes to unions?

ByteDance would rather shut down US TikTok than sell it
The success of it IMHO is that it gives anyone an easy way to say whatever they want to say. I remember hearing about it a long time ago when my sister in laws children had friends who were making these small videos and that’s when I was concerned about parents allowing children to post videos that anyone can see and not knowing what kind of protection they would have to be safe against predators.Now a lot more people are on it, and I choose not to download the app.Something else will take its place if they do shut down, but the cynic in me predicts a shill company with bought figureheads will end up buying it.

Removal of App Store's first emulator leaves more questions than answers
I remember that! They also made one for the Commodore Amiga, and I still have it somewhere in my stashes of old stuff. I remember it was so tough getting those Roms. Dealers who had broken Macs would NOT sell the Roms and Apple was trying to shut it down.teejay2012 said:This story reminds me of my first 'Mac' which was actually an Atari ST computer with a dongle called Spectre created by the legend David Small that plugged into the ST cartridge port. Worked amazingly well to emulate a Mac Plus, but required original 128K ROMs that would physically plug into the dongle plus a Macintosh Operating System 6.0.8 disk . There was a lot of exclusionary, 'you are on your own' text which transferred the problem of obtaining the Apple ROMs to the purchaser. Despite rumblings of legal challenges, Data Pacific who marketed the dongles was never shut down. I guess the market was too small for Apple to care. I am not sure of the market for vintage Nintendo game ROMs, or why financially Nintendo would care. But I suspect they do care.
