  • Apple to remove popular DOS emulator for iOS from App Store

    So the real problem is the lack of consistency in applying the rules. This should never have  been allowed in the App Store in the first place, so they’re going to look like real dicks for removing it now. 
    Yeah. The consistency is the problem.

    I have reported an app which was using its own paying mechanism (entering a credit card number information within the app).
    But it took Apple 3 or 4 representatives to understand why it is a problem (even though I have been pointing out on Epic's case).

    Either I don't understand it or they are really inconsistent in applying the rules (or both ;)).

  • Apple employees threaten to quit as company takes hard line stance on remote work

    The anti-worker hostility shown here is callous, presumptuous, and generally appalling. None of you have any idea what any of these employees’ lives are like.

    The reason Apple wants to force every worker into being on site for a certain percentage of time probably has a lot more to do with making sure their insanely expensive building/campus isn’t sitting empty, because that would be embarrassing for a company that cares a lot about their image.

    It’s been noted that people don’t like working there. Open floor plans and glass walls/doors suck for actual humans and productivity. The main building is like the Powermac G4 cube and the trashcan Mac Pro: all form; poorly-considered function.

    Then there’s the basic fact that the 40-hour workweek and officespace culture is just plain unhealthy.

    Instead of being bitter about what you see as “entitled” employees who should get shit on just the same as you do, maybe think about trying to raise the bar for EVERYONE (which includes yourselves). Stop licking the corporate boot and acting like you’re living vicariously through the boot wearers.
    Yes.
    It seems strange that people here do not embrace the technological advancement and new possibilities brought to us with the technology. 

    Many people in many companies across the globe have been successfully delivering great value for the last 1,5 years. Remotely. 
    To force everyone to return to offices is just old thinking. The desire to control. To show the power.  
    I think that especially in the innovative technology companies the remote work could function really well.

    (Of course there is value in face-to-face interactions. Sometimes it could be better understanding, things could move faster, etc.
    And of course there is just corporate culture (which in this case is enforced), which bonds individuals (if the culture is good).)

    And if the person delivers great value to the company from their home-office, does remote setup sound that ridiculous to you?

    Lesson to the security researchers: don’t trust Apple and its once-a-penny-pincher-always-a-penny-pincher CEO. You may work for free for months at a time in exchange for a thank-you notice at the end for all the work performed (and maybe not even that).

    That’s just how penny-pinchers love it, so employees are free to spend even more time playing SJW by demanding Apple take sides in middle eastern wars or institute free-for-all “work” from home policies, rather than provide non-sloppy work output. Afterwards you can always trick a security researcher into working for free for you — you’re the famous, cool, hip Apple after all, people should be falling over themselves for the opportunity to get a thank-you note in the release notes that nobody reads.

    So, the strategy is dead simple: just sell it to the highest bidder in the black market. Plenty of people looking for some nice 0-days there, you’re sure to get handsomely rewarded rather than penny-pinched.


    So Boris and Natasha will pay up? 
    Maybe. Maybe not.
    They take it from you ... and then shoot you in the head.
    Less witnesses - the better.

    It seems that they still made some profit (in financial terms) if we take into account the bitcoin price development.
