It depends on the state. Many states only provide unemployment for people who were laid-off. The cost of dealing with the NRLB is likely lower than the cost of unionizing, and Apple has a lot of cash and lawyers. I would be curious to see the NRLB take them on.
But you're not considering the incredible skill set required to perform the tasks of an Apple store associate. You really think just anyone can do that job? Have you ever swiped a credit card? Asked someone to sign a receipt? Have you ever had to sell something to someone that already wanted to purchase what you are selling? Do you have any idea the kind of stress these people go through on a daily basis?
That's a good point. People who have chosen occupations in low demand should be given some guaranteed reward for their effort, with higher rewards based on the irrelevancy of their work. I propose we create a large department in the Federal Government dedicated to pursuits which have nothing to do with people living better lives. Providing solutions to problems which don't improve anyone's lives. They can take on enormous and almost impossible tasks, assign vendors that only charge the highest prices, and then offer a very special reward for not completing a project's stated goal. Nobody in this organization should ever have to fear being fired. They should never have to worry about contributing anything that people would voluntarily pay for. In fact, they should just be given a blank check to spend tax money on whatever they wish.
Well, something must be horribly wrong with their coding because my card is on my PayPal account and they allow me to make purchases using the card. In fact, I use the same email address, which they require even non-account purchasers to enter, and they ask me if I would like to use my PayPal account for the purchase. I select no, and complete the purchase without using my account.
I had a similar experience and resolved it by closing the checking account. PayPal then removed the account and reverted my PayPal account to 'unverified'. I didn't care until some years later when I hit the $10,000 limit that I was previously unaware of. Now I just enter my credit card number. It works to do this even on eBay purchases.
Not only have I looked it up, I've read books about it, Government by Judiciary, written by Raoul Berger, (from the Wikipedia article), an attorney and professor at The University of California at Berkeley and Harvard University School of Law. While at Harvard, he was the Charles Warren Senior Fellow in American Legal History. I find Berger's research to be very thorough and superior to the work of others. The 14th was never intended to do what the Supreme Court has decided it does. You should read the books and decide for yourself who you agree with.
Yet the jury is given such specific instructions that if they don't know their rights as a juror before serving on the jury, then the judge has nearly complete control over what happens.
It is still much easier to get illegal drugs off-campus than legal drugs. Illegal drugs are everywhere. Legal drugs are at the store, where they card you.
Of the very few things I agree with FDR on, "In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way" is certainly one of them. When I stated right, I think what I really meant was just laws. What just laws allow them to do this. The Constitution certainly does not grant Congress the power to fund private research. The Bayh-Dole Act is an example of the rule of man.
Um, I can use the roads and the infrastructure. They are 'public'. I can't use the publicly funded research that is exclusively licensed to private entities. Who's the moron?
I don't care what the dude does, I don't want my money funding private enterprise outside of my own direct investments. As for there getting 'first dibs', where did they get the resources and right for 'first dibs'? What right do they have to take my money by force and then create a company that is in direct competition with me? This is just in your mind?
Not only that, but they should allow certain games to cross platforms. I don't think the PC or console offers any advantage to games like Catan or Uno.

In Apple's case, that's irrelevant because they have slashdot.

Just like Madoff and Enron, so you're safe and protected by the Government.
PayPal allows you to pay with a credit card even if you have no account. I stopped using mine and started entering the number some time ago.
I had a similar experience and resolved it by closing the checking account. PayPal then removed the account and reverted my PayPal account to 'unverified'. I didn't care until some years later when I hit the $10,000 limit that I was previously unaware of. Now I just enter my credit card number. It works to do this even on eBay purchases.

The first amendment makes a definite limitation on Congress, and thus the federal courts. Nothing to do with states rights.
Is that why when most cases involving cops go to trial they excuse the jury? So it's just the cop, the prosecutor, and a former prosecutor?
The reason I use this is because I know I'm too stupid to understand the ramifications of any question or request the LEO makes.
*I'm not a lawyer, and this isn't legal advice. You should talk to a lawyer about these kinds of things. Seriously.
Yet the jury is given such specific instructions that if they don't know their rights as a juror before serving on the jury, then the judge has nearly complete control over what happens.
Not to mention that most judges are former prosecutors.
Easily is an entity, not a he, and that entity is not you, nor me.
I assume you're talking about the government officials who are pressuring Apple, right?
Watch the video.
I think the reason RIM caved so quickly is users can easily install apps outside of their 'App World' application.
