Go to southeast China and work there. Those goods do not manufacture themselves. Or better, be the designer of these goods. Oh hold on, let me guess. You actually do not want to work for your wages. You just want to show up once a week to get your paycheck and expect others to do the dirty work. Right ? Well, not gonna happen. If you want to get paid, you will follow the work/jobs and strap yourself for a bumpy ride. No smooth sailing thru life. No trophies for participation. Winner takes all. Reality bites hard. Ain't it ?
I think Apple music service is losing customer to google and one of their mouthpieces is poo-poo'ing the rival, hoping that people will change opinion and come back. Boiler plate marketing ploy when you are losing market share. He is no one to me and will continue to be no one. So, why bother reading what he says?
I am wondering when the revolt against these outsourcing companies will start ? I think the number of jobs are still a-plenty for the displaced workers that they do not mind finding themselves out the door. But how long can this last ? It is unsustainable. Maybe the H1B drones in India, can benefit from Reading Sacramento Bee or Miami Herald to keep their numbers up. Good job Talamantes, for placing yourself in the cross-hairs of H1B opponents, displacing Souther California Edison and Disney. They owe a big one to you, right about now.
I am wondering who will quit their 6-digit salary paying swanky job in the Silicon Valley, just because they do not agree with the law enforcement. Maybe 1 or 2 people with some screws loose upstairs, but no sane person would do such a thing. Quite the contrary if they were told they will either help the law enforcement or get fired, I am pretty sure those people would come to the help of FBI in droves. Who do they think they are fooling ? Techies ? Naah, most of them are too smart not to work for Apple empire. Are they trying to fool Apple-Fan-Boys ? No need. If your work address is "1 Infinite loop" you already are a demi-god. So no need to resort to such ploys. And general public doesn't really care if Apple employees quit for holding high standards or not, as long as there is a new "Jesus-phone" every 12 months or less.
Ding-Dong, the witch is dead.

Not that I believe for a second that, republicans will make her *The Candidate*, but again lately, it is hard to know what passes as a candidate. Look at the clown with fake hair and fake tan and god only knows what else is fake, is the forerunner in the bunch. The other, even though being highly educated, still being a bigot, saying he doesn't trust a Muslim to be the president, god only knows who will be the conservative candidate at the election time. I was hoping for Rand Paul, but, unfortunately, common sense is not so common. He was one of the first ones to throw in the towel. God help USA, under the circumstances.
Yet Lenin was the one who gave about 40000 rifles and ammunition and about 200 kilograms of gold to finance the Kuva-i Milliye, the militia fighting, what was later, going to be called as Turkish Liberation War, against the mostly British, French and Greek armed forces. People making such assertions as "they hate each other since such and such time" should at least know the history a little. The reason why Russia and Turkiye is now at this impasse was because the Puppet Turkish president, with the hopes of evading equivalent of being court-marshaled and defecting to the US, is playing the hand of US administration. Yes there might be an incursion to the Turkish airspace and if so, the Turkish air forces were in their right to down that plane etc but these are not what we, the eternal people, know the real truths about. It is the Kabuki theater play put forward for the masses to believe.
That is akin to "the law already protects the innocent citizen, no need for a lawyer to dip his beak into the citizen's money bag."
A law is just some sheet of paper, you need people to actually enforce it.
You sir, sounded like a perfect union shill. Unions are the cancerous cells in in the free market today. We are not living in 1930s when, a handful of people could dictate what the workers will get as compensation for the work done. Especially not in the IT sector. And don't make me laugh insinuating unions being the enforcers of the law. They are more like Mafia enforcers than anything else. You know collect "protection money" and get fat without doing nothing other than scaring you. Now, go peddle your crap to other, less educated people. IT industry will be better off without your kind hanging around.
I am sure the infringement paid itself off many times over by the sales surge due to higher speeds of the products Apple sold. Tempest in a teapot at best.
And the battle has to start somewhere. If it is a handful of lawsuits, let it be. I am sure more will come, once people start to hear these and by a miracle they get some foothold and succeed.
And you spoke just like a union shill... Unionizing, creates union fat-cats in the long run, as if it looks like they are doing some good at the beginning. Once things improve a little, they start lining their pockets, doing nothing, off the backs of the union members, cripple economies, keep incompetent workers in place. Just look at California State Teachers union and CA state employees union. abysmal performance for abysmal pay in both, yet the union bosses drive Mercedes cars and fly first class, get free seats to any major sporting or performance event. I don't want to see it in the IT environment.
I hope they, the we website operators, have a very big warchest, to go on endless wars with the lawyers of people from all walks of life. Unless of course, lawyers are the ones who are fueling this fire. I can not see anything good coming of this type of site. The guy you had a tiff once in your high school years, or your ex, whom you didn't have an amicable separation, can trash you and your reputation in an instant. Of course you can retaliate in the same way but it is a loose-loose premise.
I am not saying this only to CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director James Comey, but all government employees in control of my personal data: SHOW ME GOOD REASON WHY I SHOULD TRUST YOU !. Do this and I will relinquish all my fears and let you put back doors in cryptography and let you spy on me to your heart's content. But don't come to me with made up stories about how may terrorist attacks you prevented or will prevent, but tell me what you did to protect my privacy. Explain me why Chinese hackers or whoever else got hold of personnel office's data, so that I can forgive your ignorance and agree to what you want to do with cryptography.
CAN YOU ? I think not... Then "F" you...
Is there anyone with a scientific background, who believe wholeheartedly, without a doubt, that the angels came from the sky and dictated holy scriptures of any widely popular religion to any of the so-called prophets ? Of course, all of them, Moses, Jesus and Mohammad and some lesser known and to a certain extent, self-proclaimed prophets were nothing more than motivational speakers, who put multiple pieces of common sense information into the same text and peddled it as "holy scripture". And doing the right thing by any religion's book is the right way to live. I am not talking about kill-all-jews-and-christians beliefs of some ku-ku believers of Islam, the believers of jews-are-the chosen-children-of-god crap or you-can-not-do-anything-right-by-god-unless-you're-catholic crowd. I am talking about the principle of living by the golden rule, which at the end all religious texts suggest. And if Mohammad has collected Koran from older sources, what difference does this make ? Does it diminish the value of the teachings ? We all know the prophets are smidgen above the snake oil peddling charlatans. So ??? Big deal... Tempest in teapot in my never so humble opinion.
After slaughtering a once a beloved tech company, HP, and causing a big grief at Lucent, is this a big surprise that Carly Fiorina is not getting any love from the tech sector ? I think she should not be allowed to make decision even on her behalf, let alone technology or god forbid United States.
He needs to go and "F" himself. He claims law should protect his company but his company can break any law, as long as it helps his company make money. Hypocrisy anyone ?
if you have two people doing the same and one is grossly underpaid, he or she will not sit back and take it as bosses dish it out. What is so surprising about this?
If robot's are making such strides in productivity, what are the flesh-n-blood drones doing to deserve the pay ? Obviously robots are doing a lot as the productivity is noticeably increased, generally means, people are getting paid the same for doing less. Or putting it in other words, the jobs that robots are performing, could be performed by less reliable, more expensive and larger number of human beings. I am wondering how soon the management will realize that they can replace most humans if not all, by robots and be done with the productivity loss, slacking on the job, etc. problems ? And What will happen then ? Will the humans take jack hammers, chain saws and attack the entities who dislocated them from their jobs and caused the loss of income ? Let's say the employers gradually phased out humans by not hiring to replace retired or otherwise lost workforce, what will happen to the unskilled labor ? Not everyone is cut out to be the programmers for those robotic systems you know...
Last time around, it was the corrupt bankers who were and still are too big to fail, fanned this fire. Now it is the builders' turn to screw you and I, the average Joe, over. The common theme seems to be the buyers who are getting shafted. And short of a revolution, as in the sense of bearing arms and storming the government offices and banks, there is no way to stop this trend. Although, the possibility of working remotely for most of the developed countries' work force, should make the areas, once deemed inhabitable, a good possibility, and availability of modular housing components, may turn the tide over. But this sounds like pipe dream to me and I am an engineer and computer guy. I don't think I will see affordable housing which is not hundred and some miles away from my workplace(s).
For US: tech workers will suffer from unemployment or suppressed wages
For H1B holders: The Tata's and Infosys' of this scheme will dangle the green card carrot in front of you while raping your wages to the tune of 50%
For US companies: Economy will look like a spaceship, which no one can stop from going up
Then the tech bubble will blow stockholders will suffer
Indian H1B workers, who were waiting patiently for their green cards will be sent home with nothing to show for
Recession will depress the job market for the American worker
Who will benefit from this ? The few C- level executives with a golden parachute exit plans. It will not be their problem to fix the mess. It is the next sucker's problem to deal with.
Tell me what is good about this plan ?
Isn't it enough already ? How many times we need to hear from his highness zuckerberg that he needs cheap labor to expand the limits of his walled garden, or likes of ballmer (in my opinion, neither character's name deserve to be capitalized) who has no other interest in the pulse of the nation, as long as their companies and the stocks they hold grow exponentially ?
This is a travesty. We have seen what happened at the last tech boom. They brought in numerous "highly skilled" work force, mainly from India, and the bubble grew too fast and blew spectacularly. Why do they think that, doing the same will yield a different result ? Oh wait.. They don't ! They will just ride the wave and cash out at the top. When te wave breaks and drowns millions of others underneath, they will light up a cigar and watch the turmoil calm down to create the next bubble. Politicians, who are elected by the people should realize, this is the definition of insanity. Doing the same thing and expecting a different result.
STOP THE MADNESS. Let tech sector grow organically with the resources at hand.
In order to ride everyone's asses, law enforcement wants things that they do not understand, to be served them on a silver platter. The point they are missing is, if the things are so easy that your donut eating run-of-the-mill cop can figure it out at any time they wish, the crooks, who are leaps and bounds ahead of them, as far as computer literacy goes, will do victory dances around those devices and rape the average Joe's privacy. Of course, where there is a choice between the public's privacy and ease of police operation, guess what trumps ? Or in other words, who has the big guns ? The people who have no idea what they are talking about, keep their pie holes shut, in my opinion, and from what I read so far, Leslie Caldwell is one of those people.
If the documents are that sensitive, you can run the files through multiple encryption schemas with different and very hard to crack pass-phrases, before sending them to the big drive in the sky. Yes, someone coming up with perfect quantum computer and running down all encryptions to the ground, in a matter of seconds is always a possibility, but I think I can take that much risk over, losing my important documents in a house fire or earthquake or flood. Take your pick. I personally can not see myself walking to a safe deposit box every week or even month to store the latest copies of my documents, burned to a DVD or BlueRay myself.
I remember hearing The spoof version, "there's a bathroom on the right", during one of those Christmas marathon broadcasts, many years ago in LA and it sounded like John Fogerty was singing it himself.
On the Hendrix song, if you have a smidgen of brain left to think that he was high on some sort of dope non-stop, kissing the sky is not so impossible to hear from his words. Also a guy of his reputation singing lyrics with gay undertones is unthinkable in my never so humble opinion.
But better late than never.
Few years ago, someone in the wise US government, approved that, poor people on government provided health insurance plans can get the little blue boner pills on the taxpayers' dime. Now getting access to free porn, they are closing the loop, making everyone happy:)
