Nowadays, liberals get their news from comedians like Maher or Colbert, while conservatives get their news from another type of entertainers, people like O'Reilly or Limbaugh. Eiher way the information goes through heavily biased lens.
So what's wrong with if younger people choose Facebook instead? Sure just like on TV (and even Netflix now with Chelsea Handler) the liberal point of view is more present; as an example, bashing Trump counts as news. But information also gets filtered by your connections/friends Likes so it all balances out anyways.
Nobody believed that Russia could default on their debt. It happened in 1998. Nobody believed the yen could skyrocket, which is why so many investors already in trouble lost their shirt in 2008.
There was a time when the bonds market was steady and the stock market was a bloodbath. Now it has more or less reversed. It's probably safer to invest in black jack than bonds.
The problem with Apple’s “cash pile” is that most of it is not actually “cash” nor “on hand,” and it doesn’t take into account Apple’s debt. Apple has about $16.7 billion in cash and equivalents on its balance sheet.
And those alleged 180 billions are offshore and couldn't be used in the USA without paying a huge chunk in taxes. (And just for comparison, at the time of the buyout, Dell had 2x more money on US soil than Apple currently has - that's what happens when you don't throw money out the window to feed your ego).
Furhermore, even if we're talking about just those 16 billions Apple has, it's not *their* money, that's the shareholders money. Even if Apple had decided to go big and build a ONE billion dollars building (still 3x the price of Google's) they could have paid a $4 dividend per share with the difference. But no, fuck the shareholders, even though it's almost impossible at this point that the stock price will go up, Apple decided to keep the party going.
Because of course the second a woman becomes a CEO she can no longer complain about the glass ceiling, so they needed another reason to fail: being put in a position where success cannot be achieved. Again the fault lies wih that flawed patriarcal system and the rape culture of corporate America.
Never mind people like Lou Gerstner, Alan Mulally, Jack Welch or even Steve Jobs, who turned around companies that were in serious trouble. Those were not glass cliffs situations of course.
Used to be that winners wrote history. Now it's written by whiners and complainers and SJW.
Anything but "Skype for business" - which is probably one of the causes of the spectular growth of Slack.
You would think that chat is a solved problem by now. Even Sametime in Lotus Notes is okay. But Skype... plain terrible. It's as if they wanted to cater to the kewl crowd by giving it a texting look & feel, but it just sucks.
Don't be so negative. That's what people said about Tumblr when Yahoo bought them, and yet, see how it became even more popular and how that acquisition was the catalyst for Yahoo's revival under the competent leadership of Marissa Mayer?
Yeah they make about $300 million in profit every year. This means that by 2100 LinkedIn will become a pure profit machine for Microsoft. Those guys think long term!
When I see the low-quality gifs those hackers use when they deface the websites of random dance studios and libraries, it reminds me of the game C&C Generals, where the Americans and Chinese have tanks and fighter jets while the GLA (islamic warriors) have pick-up trucks and suicide vests.
With all the lone wolves and oil money they have access to, why can't they be bothered to make better images? Nobody's asking them to use Bootstrap and make responsive death threats, but they could at least spend a few minutes with the eraser in MS-Paint to improve the edges of their poorly-cropped cliparts.
It's already annoying when your website is pwned because the Wordpress setup of your $3/month webhost hasn't been patched for years, it just adds insult to the injury when the hackers replace your content with something that looks like it was design in HoTMetaL Pro and uploaded via WS_FTP to a free AngelFire account in 1996.
Anyone who has any experience dealing with the federal government can tell that there's just no way they could make a conspiracy work, even if all the involved parties agreed (which is also impossible).
This will be a thing of the past once Emperor Palpatine Clinton takes control of the country. Gun control and using the Presidency for personal gain is the legacy of that clan.
You fail to grasp the financials. Google paid 300 millions for their headquarters. Apple is spending FIVE BILLIONS on theirs. That's the equivalent of buying Google's headquarters every year for 15+ years. There is no way Apple could rent any slice of that thing and break even. The rent for the whole thing would have to be north of 25 millions per month (plus utilities etc), there's just no way to make that work no matter how many firms would truly agree to move to Cupertino.
Yes, companies in Silicon Valley and elsewhere regularly downsize and rent out part of all of their real estate. But nothing that size. This is beyond ludicrous. Nobody needs a building 3x more expensive than the Yankee stadium.
That building cost 5 billions. That's twice the current value of the Empire state building, and it's located in a tiny city which is more than 1h drive from SF. If you think other "firms" could populate that huge space in a cost-effective manner, it's probably best if you don't begin a new career in commercial real estate.
your own real estate is usually a sound investment but if Apple needs to sell, the only kinds of companies who could afford to buy this thing would rather build one, so that leaves oil sheiks and China. Or they could transform it in condos and try to sell them to the same crowd of phonies who stopped buying their products and triggered the whole nosedive in the first place.
Yeah Stuxnet sucks. It totally screwed up my nuclear program infrastructure. That's the price I paid for letting the trial McAfee expire on my new cheap Asus laptop.
When you write it as 'M$' it tends to give the impression one of the big issues you have with them is they've made a lot of money
That is a completely legitimate issue to take considering how they made a lot of that money.
Think "antitrust".
Does you iPad come with a default browser made by Apple, or does your Nexus come with a default browser made by Google? Those are the kind of things that were at the center of the "antitrust" case against Microsoft.
Both Apple and Google have made billions with their proprietary ecosystems but I don't see you calling them Apple$ or Google$.
The tyranny of clever or funny content is over! Just like on Youtube, the comments with the most Likes will be those that have girls with big tits or cute cats in them, so it will make it easier for me to get to the good stuff quicker.
Wow, that must have been some Skype session, given that my mother died last year of pancreatic cancer. OH WELL, YOU WIN.
I won early in the thread, when I pointed out that you have no idea what "slander" means. Everything after that was just an epilogue.
I'll never know if your mom really died of pancreatic cancer or if you just made that up. If it did happen, using that as ammo in a flame war on Slashdot is really a terrific way to honor her memory; and if you made it up, it's immensely respectful for people who actually suffer or died from that terrible disease. I guess either way it shows what a classy person you are.
Figured you wait and come back when you thought the coast was clear and leave some limp-wristed faggot comment you pusillanimous little shit.
Yeah I was busy, I had a Skype session with your mom. We did talk a little and she warned me that when you feel belittled or insecure you tend to use a foul language. So I feel terrible to have put you through this, I shouldn't have brought attention to your shortcomings. Hopefully you will learn something out of this, at the very least what the word "slander" means.
You still obviously don't know what slander means. Did you just ear your mom and dad talk about grown-up things and figured you'd impress the other kids with your big words?
It's a clunky description but I can totally picture it. Create some kind of intimate, quiet ambiance like when you're the last two persons sitting next to a dying bonfire; let the other person feel like they're talking in confidence with a trusted friend; then the next day you repeat publicly everything the other person said.
But on the other hand whenever someone says something like "safe space" I just feel like fedexing them a bag of post-Taco Bell shit. So I'm conflicted on that one.

Name one piece of software or platform that sees widespread, gen pop use that doesn't have some sort of privacy or security issue.
Windows 10!

First of all, no they don't have 203 billions.

There's already a name for that: the glass cliff.

LinkedIn data is stored in MySQL. It's just a matter of time before your profile goes away by itself anyways.

ahh, u rly showed me.
What a witty riposte!
Oops! there i go agin wit my bg werds
Anyone who told you in the past that you're clever and/or funny lied, or is a total idiot. (And btw this isn't slander)
Ever heard of the Arab Spring?
Or, just perhaps, because unlike Assange and Appelbaum he's not a "rapist or overall asshole"?
That's the tldr
You still obviously don't know what slander means. Did you just ear your mom and dad talk about grown-up things and figured you'd impress the other kids with your big words?
