  1. Re:oh boy yes! on Where's All My CPU and Memory Gone? The Answer: $5B Worth Slack App (medium.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This is a weird complaint. If someone chats with you in person, or you have an in-person meeting, does this immediacy "destroy your mind"? Email still has its place but sometimes you just need to have a quick chat about something.

    Do you have meetings every 30 seconds for an hour that last 2 seconds each?

  10. Was this meant to inspire outrage? on Apple and Other Tech Companies Have Registered Their IP in Jamaica, Tonga, and Elsewhere For Years (qz.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If it was meant to inspire outrage it failed. this is just nonsense news. It is mildly interesting and if it had been portrayed in a "FYI This is a clever trick some big companies are using that hurts no one, if anything it creates a small amount of jobs in some poor countries, without taking anything away from the USA" it would have been a quality article

    I think almost everyone would care, they'd rejoice in the streets, parades would be had, there would be people lined up for hundreds of miles to urinate on his grave.

    So is that a no then?

    The real issue here is apple evangelism on your part. I've offered no commentary on Apples role in this, merely the insurance company.

    Yes, when i see a veiled attempt at representing a marketing ploy as something other than what it is, i tend to say what i think about it.

    Do you make this kind of reply when the initial comment has nothing to do with apple?

    Insurance company Aetna today announced a major MARKETTING initiative centered on the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, which will see Aetna subsidizing the cost of the Apple Watch for both large employers and individual customers.

    The summary mistakenly said this was a health initiative.

    Well since blackberry has started using android on its new devices its not even slightly surprising that BB OS is losing market share, i'd be more interested to see if blackberry's market share has gone up or down as a device maker since the switch
