  1. Re:Free iPhones! on The Impact of Low Salaries At Apple · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I'd want the one with the most market share to make me valuable to the highest number of employers and they'd want to market to the highest viewership, which would make iAnything out of the picture. Do people still use Quicktime? I sure don't. It was the second worst to realplayer.

  2. Re:Will Apple have to raise salaries? on The Impact of Low Salaries At Apple · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I'm surprised that China isn't producing low-$ apple clones. Though I guess they couldn;'t be sold in NA anyway with our anticounterfeit laws. I'd buy one over a "real" apple... well, if I cared to run an apple OS.

  3. Re:It's not always salaries... on The Impact of Low Salaries At Apple · · Score: 2, Funny

    YES! They probably are mostly zealots and fanboys otherwise they'd be working for M$. Pretty much anyone with an Apple becomes a zealboy so they have about 5% of the computing audience to hire from and most of them don't know they're being shafted, they're just working a dream job for the company that made the friendly overpriced computer they love.

  4. Well yeah... on The Impact of Low Salaries At Apple · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Everyone knows that Apple is ALL Steve Jobs. The people that actually MAKE the overpriced hardware are just bit-players.

    YES. I hate my phone company (Telus - www.telus.ca) for not letting me make one of the MP3s in my LG Chocolate Flip be a ringtone. I'll NEVER pay $4 for some stupid 20 second chunk of a crappy song I could buy off their web page. Fuck you, Telus. Fuck you to death.

  19. Shitty hack on Indiglo Clock Case Mod · · Score: 1

    Ok, so it's a clock... It doesn't look that great, that paint he used is going to come off easily, the screws should have been painted over so they don't stick out like sore thumbs and the holes to set the clock look a little shoddy.
    There's an excellent article on vinyl dyes on that site though, you should all check it out if you're into modding... Supposedly it works much better than paint on plastic. I'll be getting some blue dye and doing my monitors, keyboard and mouse soon. Check it out: http://www.gideontech.com/guides/vinyldye/

    It's true! I've worked on a few backend systems there the management insisted on keeping credit card numbers for every transaction. It's only a matter of time before they get rooted and lose the database. Another reason why I use other people's credit cards to buy stuff online and just give them cash for it.

    If you're going to steal a database of credit card numbers, it'll probably have the zip code in the records. It's not likely these guys are checking 100,000+ credit card numbers they got off used credit carbons.
