  • Guns N' Roses' singer Axl Rose compares Apple CEO Tim Cook to Donald Trump

    Hey Axl, you're alive (and still on drugs by the look of it)! I liked your screamed songs way back, before I matured my taste (or some would say, developed a taste).

    No person, company or service is perfect, but going after the best paying service for music streaming and downloading makes you appear even more out of touch with reality (one of the side effects of drug abuse). Besides, I'd wager that Tim Cook isn't the hands on executive on the deals Apple have with music labels, that would be Eddy Cue.

    So keep to your strongs man! Soon there'll be another Rock'n Rio for you to cackle to a big audience again. Some of them will even like it!
    You need to tweet this. I am sure he is never going to see this post.

  • New Orleans police officer accused of stealing AirPods from Apple store

    How much is a police officer's salary? Surely enough that $200 isn't significant. Definitely not worth risking your career over. Why do people do these things?
    Becasue they are stupid. The question is - why did the selection process not pick up on that?
    We have a severely undermanned police force in New Orleans, at least 500 below what is needed. The applicant pool is not great due to poor education system in a poverty stricken city with almost no middle class. 
    There is a reason for that. And knowing the issues that cops face in the US today, it is probably this: normal educated-with-high-moral-standards people do not want to go to the police, since today's view of the profession is mostly negative, thanks to the left-leaning MSM touting that. That means, that instead of that kind of candidates, you will be hiring from people with MUCH lower standards and with other motivations in joining the force. And the thing is - if that is the case, even increasing salaries 40-60% will not help to turn the situation around.
    Berkeley police (California) is going through this same situation of severe understaffing right now (a lot of cops left for other cities departments that are less fond of antifa)

    Never pass on an opportunity to blame something on you own personal belief system.

  • Apple makes Chinese transfer of iCloud data official, raising privacy concerns

    This is all assuming that life cannot exist without Cloud storage of our data. How did we ever make it to the 21st century without the ability to store our data somewhere other than on our own computers. /s. If you don't want your government to  have access to your data, then don't put it in the Cloud. But we all know no one is looking for a simple solution, just drama.

  • Protests mount online and offline over impending FCC Net Neutrality vote

    If you don't like the product they want to sell you then don't buy it. Would you buy a car from a company if you knew sometimes or on some roads is would not go over 20 miles an hour. So the only effective recourse we have is to not buy the product. As impractical or unfeasible that may be.  Welcome to Capitalism at it's best.
    Crony capitalism created so-called “Net Neutrality”. That’s not real competition. Getting rid of this rubbish will bring back competition.
    Please explain how my experience with Comcast will improve when, where  I live when there is no one to compete with. It is the only choice I have for Internet that has acceptable speeds and no ridiculously low data caps. Please tell me exactly how this is going to make my Internet experience better. Or are you just parroting the BS line off "Trust me". Since Obama's FCC implemented the current rules my Internet connection has gone from 25mbs to 150 mbs for the same cost. Are you implying that with the changes today I will get gigabit speeds at half the cost?
