Apple CEO Tim Cook sells another $3.6M in company stock
So many assumptions in this comment... Troll or just that uninformed?gmgravytrain said:Why do you think he's selling now? He's selling because he knows Apple's share price is going to tank upon earnings. For a CEO, he has little confidence in his company. He's not setting a very good example for 'fellow' shareholders. He could easily wait a bit longer before dumping. It will probably lead to more selling off of Apple stock by example. It's really disappointing how Apple's share price is going to drop while the rest of the major tech companies stocks are going to soar upon earnings. I'm willing to bet Alphabet's stock gets to $1000 in a matter of weeks. I honestly don't know why Tim Cook isn't able to satisfy Wall Street even a little bit when other companies make it look so easy.

Apple automatically uploading iPhone call logs to iCloud, forensics firm says [u]

This is speculation whether you put "FACT" in caps or not. How do you know 90-95% are on either service? Speaking personally, I wouldn't doubt it's the vast majority but to say it's fact with a broad claim doesn't help your case. Nor do any of the other claims - 10s of billions, social media that *require* data collection, hurting iOS customers??But Apple customers don't give 2 sheets about privacy.
90-95% of iOS users either are on Facebook or use Google services. That is a FACT.
Yet Apple sacrifices literally TENS of BILLIONS of dollars because of their ridiculous stance on privacy.
IMO, I'd rather have Apple be the custodian of my information than Google/Facebook. I want Apple to start their versions of Facebook/Google so they can rake in BILLIONS and also keep that data away from Google/FB.
Bottom line is people will be using social media and sites that require data collection. With or without Apple. So it makes ZERO sense for Apple to be stubborn and not participate.
Cook is actually hurting iOS customers because he is forcing them to use Google/FB instead of an Apple run equilvelent.
Cook is stuck with 1995 thinking. Data collecting is not evil. Adversting is not evil. As long as the data is kept safe and anonymous its fine. People are willing to sacrifice some privacy for awesome services that make their life more productive and enjoyable. Its time for Apple to wake up and stop their extreme privacy stance.
Cook claims that they won't be involved with the process of collecting this type of data, that when it's a free service YOU are the product. Apple's values lie in a different direction. It's tilting after windmills to insist that they make a change. Your "facts" and argument don't make sense.

Samsung takes out full-page ad to apologize to Galaxy Note 7 users for quality issues
Maybe the J5? http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/samsung-smartphone-fire-1.3839753SpamSandwich said:I should've written it down yesterday when I heard it, but it was reported that one of the other Samsung line of phones has now had a battery explosion and fire. If so, their problems, massive as they are now, are just beginning. -

Please explain. Are you saying that pressing that button would pop up another windows on the main display showing the CPU load? Why would that be on so many of the touch bars? I can't see how that would be relevant in any of the apps. Anyway, just curious.spheric said:That's a CPU load display.
