  • Apple should do more to combat smartphone addiction, insists iPod-Father Tony Fadell

    Perhaps a psychological evaluation should be required before a person is allowed to purchase a smartphone to make sure that person doesn't have a predisposition toward addiction.

    While I think it would be interesting for users to be able to see just how much time they spent on their smartphone, I think that data would become a lot like nutrition labels: Ignored by those who need them the most.

  • Hands-on: Apple's new (PRODUCT)RED iPhone 8

    It’s the same but red... what’s the big deal?

    Come on ... 
    I think the point he’s trying to make is, it’s a different color. It functions identical to every other iPhone 8 and 8+ with the additional benefit of being able to show other people how socially responsible and progressive you are. 

    So, given that it has identical specs to every other iPhone 8 and 8+ and functions identically to every other iPhone 8 and 8+, why does this product warrant a special hands on article? I mean, it’s not like AI has a hands on article for every color. So why this phone, other than the obvious value signaling going on?

  • Apple says male UK staff earn average of 5 percent more than women

    It is MEANINGLESS to attempt to compare salaries in this way. If you want to know if there is truly any sort of wage gap, compare by job function. How much does the average male Software Engineer 2 (for instance) make? How much does the average female Software Engineer 2 make? I'd be willing to bet that the comparison is very close. 

    The so-called gender wage gap is really just a justification for hiring more women in senior roles. 
    Are you trying to say that we should compare performance and quality of work in order to determine if salaries were given out fairly? Are you insane? What's next? Grades in schools and grade based system in universities? Valuing athletes based on how fast they run and how far they jump? What a ridiculous system!
