Still fighting the War of Independance. So predictable with your hate fuelled bile, devoid of empathy, dishonest and a stuck_in_a_rut gun nut.
Yes, there's lots the US is free of too

Just another fascist wrapping themselves up in the Flag and carrying a Cross, blah blah blah, anyone different than me can die.

There is nothing to gain from the French and Germans banning encrypted communications, terrorists will just use out-of-band comms such as physical and digital dead drops like they always have.

Nice to see Apple's fine doing business with a country that actually executes gays. So much for principles.

And nice to see you taking a strong stand in favor of gays, and at a higher moral ground than Tim Cook. Bravo. 

Conservatives concerned for the welfare of Iranian homosexuals, well, I was wrong about them lacking compassion.

Yeah , I can see tech companies going out of business and leaving the country because bus drivers are being paid $34k.

Apple isn't in politics. It didn't say Apple is holding a Clinton fundraising even...it said Tim Cook was. Tim is welcomed to do what he wants with this spare time just like you and I. I don't think you actually read the article, but rather just the headline and posted. 

Doesn't matter.  The significant majority of the public translates Tim Cool as Apple.
The terms are swappable.

If people have a problem differentiating between Tim Cook and Apple, that's on them, the same nonsense when people think that John Mackey of Whole Foods must be a democrat or that Bradley Cooper MUST have shared the same politics as Chris Kyle since he portrayed him in American Sniper, it's asinine beyond belief. 

I get the whole effect of a cult of personality, but I don't get that from Tim Cook they way it emanates from Elon Musk or did with Steve Jobs, those guys were on just another level. Maybe there is point for Tim Cook to get another person to work on visionary work while he executes on what he does best for the company, and that is operations.

Who would NOT WANT a watch that was fully independent of a phone, that you can make and receive phone calls on, that was thinner and with battery life that lasted more than one day between charges?
