  • Apple's 'Mother Nature' sketch was a complete dud, and didn't belong in the iPhone 15 even...

    I get that you thought it was awkward to be in an announcement, but for some people, this is the only way to get their attention about preserving what we can and stop wasting our resources and contributing to global weather changes that so many have denied for so long and now the repercussions are here. 

    The only thing I disagree to what they said was that all of their stores run on renewable energy, when the truth is, they buy carbon credits to offset the carbon emissions the stores make. 
    I would rather make the malls they occupy install solar panels and instill new conservation practices, like limiting water usage and recycling.

  • Apple & ARM have been crucial to each other's survival for three decades

    What would have happened if Intel hadn’t just sold its Xscale division (its ARM based processors inherited from DEC and its StrongARM processors which DEC first developed with Apple MessagePad as its target)?  and then when Apple came calling for an iPhone processor had been able to offer an ARM based Intel Xscale processor, which I presume would have performed better than the Samsung ARM Apple used)? 

    Anyway, just daydreaming. 
    I doubt that Intel wanted anything more from DEC, but to buy it and bury it. They didn’t want any RISC chips interfering with their plans and they also got Microsoft to help by shelving Windows for PPC.

  • Encrypted iMessage chats lead to record-breaking SEC fines for Wells Fargo, Wall Street

    Financial expert Clark Howard refers to Wells Fargo as "a criminal enterprise impersonating a bank." And still after how many years and how much in fines does WF continue its nefarious ways??
    I think Clark Howard may be on to something, which he often is. WF seems to accumulate a lot of frequent flier miles when it comes to having to answer to authorities for one financial misdeed or another.
    I love how they treat non-account holders and afterwards have the gall to ask if you want to open an account.

  • Apple has spent $1.5 billion to help relieve California's housing crisis

    It’s not enough though. Apple and other tech companies have its own employees living in campers along the sides of the roads near their offices. It seems that they could work with the cities and rezone all of the empty commercial buildings to multi dwelling buildings and have some offices at the bottom floors. They could let Apple write off a lot of the expenses and help subsidize the rent costs for the employees. It would take care of the brunt of the issue of employees not returning to work in person.  Once productivity reaches record highs, Apple could help by rewarding hard working employees with grants to buy their own houses. 
    By cutting stock grants to the board could easily pay for a lot of this. The board doesn’t need money, but this could stroke their egos and place them in the history books as philanthropists and not money hoarders.

  • Apple guts internal communication tool, crippling union organization

    Loop was never intended as a tool for airing grievances, but an idea hub to make ideas into a reality. I understand that employees get frustrated if Apple appears to not be listening to their grievances, but loop wasn’t made for that and it’s possible that Apple got tired of hearing just complaints and not ideas.
