Apple shows MR headset to executives ahead of rumored June unveiling
I thought you were going to get rid of your wi-fi and get a flip phone. Yet here you are, posting again with what is likely wi-fi and not a flip-phone. People just don’t have the courage of their convictions anymore…9secondkox2 said:Still scratching my head with this.It has “throw a bunch of stuff at the wall and see what sticks” written all over it.That is soooo not Apple, which is notoriously well managed and says no to a million things before saying yes to one.Apple will foil for years on end to mail something and only when they are 100% certain that no one could possibly do any better, they prep the market and launch with a resounding impact. Major success and even segment redefinition follows.This…is not that.This is what a Microsoft or Google would do. Not Apple. Tech executive focus groups now, surrounded by manipulative upscale trimmings? Strange days.Hopefully either this rumor is false - or this is one of the things Apple says no to.

Europe coming after Apple's App Store with Digital Markets Act
Make a cheap-ass “Euro-version” of Apple products that can be sold along other apple products. Maybe iPhone EU OR iPad EU. Give it the least amount of privacy features. Done.FUCKERS!

Apple Towson union accuses Apple of withholding new benefits
In my case, I became a teamsters member by simply having a classification at my job. I’m a self-starter, I’ve gotten 3 advances on three years and I worked hard for it. Now that I’m a union member, I’m unable to get any incentive advancements and there is no incentive to work harder, however, it’s simply not in my nature to be a part of the status quo. I like my job, but get pissed off when others aren’t doing their fair share.dewme said:Once a union is put in place unionized employees can no longer deal directly with the company, and vice versa. This is simply a structural, process, and legal matter that all parties have to abide by. Everything has to be negotiated through the union representatives who represent the union members/employees. If Apple is stating that certain things need to be negotiated through the collective bargaining process they are simply stating the obvious. This is a procedural issue and Apple is required to play by the rules. It doesn't matter at this point whether Apple preferred to have a union or not. The rules are the rules and Apple isn't going to do anything that is going to get the company in trouble. The union is equally responsible for playing by the rules too. I'm sure the unionized workers will eventually figure this out and make sure that their grievances are funneled through the proper negotiation channels as defined by their collective bargaining agreement. This is what they wanted so they need to make it work.As a non-union member, I was going to get a 25% increase over 4 years starting in July. Just before July, I received an email congratulating me for being a member of the teamsters and that I won’t be receiving my increase due to the fact that it needed to be negotiated. I basically became a union member without any prior knowledge.This is tantamount to bullying—being forced to be a part of something in which I had no prior knowledge or desire. I won’t be paying dues AND if I have to go in front of the labor board to get reclassified, I’ll do that, too. -
