    I was with her until this:  

     "...I consider it my responsibility and a privilege to show up every day in support of our underrepresented team members." 


    Let me be clear, I have no issue whatsoever with her pride in coming out.  Personally, her orientation doesn't matter to me in the slightest, but if she feels it was a big thing, good for her.  My question is....what does she mean by "underrepresented?"  Is she saying that Apple does't hire enough gay people?  Moreover, is her being an openly gay tech executive  in Palo Alto, CA really all that surprising?  I mean, this isn't the 1980's.  Gays are widely accepted.  Gay marriage is legal in all states.  Her statement seems to be virtue-signaling, and is so self-important.  I'm sure she doesn't view it that way, but...I wish people would get over themselves.  

    Gay marriage is legal in all 50 states so there are no issues that homosexuals have to deal with? Huh?! This hasn't been an issue since the 1980s? What?! 

    Loving v. Virginia was in 1967 so by your measure interracial marriage hasn't been an issue for over half a century. There are countless examples that can be shown to you about less than equal treatment of people. 

    Sigh.  I can see we're getting into straw men arguments now.   At no time did I say homosexuals have no issues with which they have to deal.  What I did say is being gay is widely accepted in our culture now.  Do you dispute this?  

    I'm not exactly sure why you'd want to bring up interracial marriage.  It's been the law of the land, as you note, for even longer.  Culturally, it is also widely accepted.  That doesn't mean it is universally accepted, of course.   

    Getting back to the issue, I simply don't understand her "underrepresented" claim.  Approximately 5% of the population is gay according to most estimates.  Do you want to bet that more than 5% of Apple's workforce is gay?  
    I think what you are missing, perhaps deliberately or you choose not to read the article is that she came out 25 years ago. Yes she lives in California but is from Michigan. Probably more conservative there and then.

  • Apple TV+ versus Disney+ compared -- the streaming wars escalate

    Apple looks like it needs to get more content and fast. Maybe a deal with the BBC or something.

    Apple make such awesome products - but TV content - they really have no clue.
    Really. How many shows and episodes have you seen? What didn't you like about them, specifically? 

    Oh what's that? None? You haven't seen a single thing and are just spouting off nonsense? Gotcha... Let me place your feedback into the circular file.
    Well some reviews are in and it’s a fairly mixed bunch. Many enthusiastic but many not. 

    More to come I suppose.
