They actually put Safari in developer mode. While it did achieve the desired results of setting it for no caching, the real issue was that it also triggered a bug that only exists in developer mode.
It is wrong to steal someone else's property while in international waters, especially while the owner was in the process of retrieving it. It's not like it's lost salvage or something.
So, do you work for China? Just asking, because your post is exactly what they'd want. Anyway, this occurred 140 miles from the disputed area, according to TFA.
It is clear that China does whatever it wants and doesn't give a damn about international law. They've had wiggle room in other cases, but this is blatant, flat-out theft in broad daylight with witnesses.
He didn't exactly "prop them up". Microsoft bought $150MM shares of non-voting stock (which they sold at a huge profit). Apple didn't need money at the time, they needed legitimacy, which this investment provided.
In return for this, Apple dropped a multitude of patent-infringement lawsuits against Microsoft (which Apple appeared to be wining), and licensed those technologies to Microsoft. These were not related to Microsoft's anti-trust issues, nor was the existence of Apple. It's OK that Microsoft was a monopoly - monopolies are legal - it's the abuse of the power the monopoly gave them.
Sorry, you're just being obstinate. I know how it works because I've done it. I had to go through the whole process even though we had a Sentry Pass. You're assuming the right hand of the government knows what the left hand is doing - a bad assumption!
I think the fact that they are actually catching a lot of stuff... you know, the point of TFA... proves the screening worthwhile. And they don't "sell" you a special line. You pay for the process of being vetted, and then they do minimal screening after that. It's kinda like getting the Sentry Pass at the border.
Thanks, but, as a professional, I think she probably knows her business.
But you're forgetting the main point of my original post: there are, according to employers and employment agencies, about 100K unfilled jobs in all of Minnesota, which clearly includes out-state. Additionally, she is offering the AVERAGE wage as the starting wage, which is actually quite good. Anyway, that was just an anecdote, that should could hire 200 people on any given day at that wage. I'm sure she has a range of wages and jobs available.
They do! Her agency and many other put signs all over the place. There are "help wanted" signs all over the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area. They even print them on some receipts. My friend and employers hold free job fairs where they virtually hand out jobs - but not many people show up. I see those advertised all the time, too. Her agency makes money by placing employees.
It's amazing you can assert my friend's claims are bogus simply because they don't match up with your world view.
By the way, for reference, the stated unemployment rate in Minnesota is 4%, and has been for some time. A bit lower than the rest of the country's average.
I know a woman who runs an employment agency. She recently attended a conference here in Minnesota that was designed to figure out how to fill all of the unfilled jobs in the state. The conference produced data showing that there are approximately 100,000 jobs available in Minnesota that can't be filled because of lack of skills or lack of interest. My friend says that she could hire 200 people on any given day for full-time jobs, with benefits, starting at $15/hour, no experience required.
Yet, there are people on street corners with "please help signs". My friend always gives them her card, but they just toss them on the ground.
My point is: anyone who wants to work can get a decent job, at least in Minnesota. If they're not working, they just don't want to, either because they're lazy, or the dole is good enough for them.
I don't know how this "they pay almost no taxes" think got started. They paid over $13B in 2015for US federal taxes alone. The beef people have with Apple is that they aren't paying US taxes on money made overseas by keeping it overseas. And they have been accused of having a sweetheart deal with Ireland, which Ireland denies.
It is not at all clear that the problem is with the battery. It could just as well be the management hardware and/or software. After all, changing battery suppliers (the replacements) didn't solve the problem.
Has anyone noticed that Apple never said they took it out to make it waterproof? That all that came from speculation? Their stated reasons were to improve space utilization and to help foster the move to wireless.
Here we have a long thread of people commenting on whether or not going wireless to be waterproof is a good idea, and the whole thing is made up by the first poster.
I was with you up to the Fox News mouth-frothing. Actually, all of the conspiracy-theorists I know are all extremely left-leaning. Most of these nuts believe the government has been behind everything - those types are not typically conservatives, although there is a branch of the right wing that is just as crazy as their left-wing peers.
Apple pays a LOT of taxes in the US. Their effective tax rate this last quarter was
above 25%. It's the cash that was made via sales overseas that is still overseas that people complain about (and they pay taxes in those countries on that money).
You'll recall that the phone in question was an older model with far less security than the phones they sell today. The particular tool being requested was essentially a new version of the firmware that would ignore the failed unlock attempt counter, installed via a maintenance path. It is said they are working to remove that, too.

That "as hardware sales soften" is pure editorializing. The author is linking this initiative with hardware sales for his own reasons.

Yes, of course, if they offered $1K/hour, they'd fill the jobs. On the other hand, I suppose that's why jobs are going overseas.

Because the US is such a small economic power?

Wow! I didn't know that Apple and Beats were the only people that sold wireless headphones! It makes so much sense now!

Tim Cook didn't leak anything. That was social engineering.
Sorry, no, they've consistently failed to make it *stick*. They've proved plenty.
