So when the NYPD bought the Windows slabs, Mayor Bill de Blasio touted them as a “a huge step into the 21st century."

My wife is a Red Cross volunteer. It's a fantastic organization with a bunch of really dedicated people. What the hell is the accusation above all about? If you're going to besmirch the name of this organization, please be specific with your grievances. Apple is trying to help and you drop a turd like this? SMH

This might help. It's one of many:

PS. Techie boyz do not help anyone because they are self-described "libertarians," so the likelihood of the original poster or subsequent ones to actually donate something is very, very low.

That's anecodatal evidence based on a particular event and given the source, subject to political bias.   How about the Charity Navigator rating:

And your PS is a sweeping generalization.  Given "techie" companies like Apple, Facebook, Google, etc., I'd say they lean politically liberal more than libertarian or conservative.  Even if they were all libertarians, why suggest they're non-charitable?  Most would believe in voluntary charity vice government 'charity'.  

So false rumors on top of false rumors equals Apple nixes the plan 

Ironic that Swatch was born out of the need to compete with cheap Asian quartz watches that decimated the Swiss watch industry.   

Oh yes, an ad-free walled garden where only left wing vetted pundits get to have their voice head; a wonderfully self-serving fantasy to be sure.   Meanwhile down to reality, AI is chockablock full of advertising and no ad-free user funded option.  With political editorials like this, it's no wonder.
