Being sued and losing are 2 different events. Myself id tell the government to go f-themselves and close my business if they ( or a union ) even attempted to play hardball. its MY business, not theirs and i don't NEED the money, but I'm sure they need the tax revenue....
Apple could fire them all and replace them in this economy but eventually the consumers would take note of it as well.
Not enough to make a larger difference in the bottom line that allowing the union in might cause. Today's unions have been known to bankrupt companies once they get on site. I have seen it myself. Somewhat counter productive if you ask me.
Since when do part timers even get to talk about unions in the first place? Furthermore, you can 'unionize' all you want but the company you work for doesn't have to listen to you, or continue your employment.
I'm sure they didn't think far enough ahead and thought it would be no big deal for Oracle to have it.
Of cousre Oracle has been in the business of screwing people for a long time so their interest in SUN should have been the first clue bad things were possible.
If you are distributor they can. if you buy them in bulk at a discount from apple, they can. if you get them at retail, no, they cant.
They can also restrict how their trademark is used, regardless of how you got it, or what you want to do with it. ( may not be good business, but its their right as the trademark holder )
Right, it only proves that stupid people also can use a Mac. Blindly hitting 'ok' and installing 'bad stuff' is not a system problem, its a user education problem. It doesn't matter what OS you are running, if it allows any user installation of applications at all this is a risk..
But then again, its more fun for some to bash than it is to use logic.
Just ask people like VMware, or Microsoft or sun.. ( oracle ).
What you do WITH the emulator may or may not be, but why is that a valid reason to pull something? Most anything can be used in a nefarious way, even bricks..
That's easy for you to say. You don't know the details of the compensation package you get from said job that requires you to be available 24/7 in emergencies.
But then again, if you are happy with flipping burgers for a living, by all means, have your untethered vacations.
Because as you know, paper books are always running out of battery at the worst possible moment.. and break every time they fall on the floor due to turbulence.

So they are no better than the kids that paint graffiti.. no point or direction, just to cause mischief.

"sorry but its not working out, you have been terminated". "your job function is no longer required in our company, you are terminated"
its not hard to get rid of troublemakers.

Of course they wont TELL you that is why.. its not hard to find reasons to fire someone, or remove their job.

no, they will just lower the cap so you will get to pay more due to overage.
on bank to rule them all.
Scary stuff.
Local news was killed in suicide decades ago when they stopped reporting actual facts and switched to 'commentary'.
Internet is just helping clean the mess up.
This is how they have it, its illegal to offend anyone for an reason.
Lets hear it for free speech.

Why would they believe Sony?
Well, if its state sponsored, i have to agree. An attack on a countries infrastructure is still war.

All the ISP's instituted their bandwidth caps. The reality will be much smaller now.
Sure they will.. They might lose that much however, as companies move out of state and leave people unemployed.
it was a lab. Just happened to be an outdoor one.

And if where you work requires it, this isnt an option.
Umm then why bother even getting a reader?
