Wow... Apple can't catch a break... You know damn well people would be bitching if they hadn't done this... Apple Fails To Disable Java 7. Millions of Macs Vulnerable. News at 11.
I couldn't care less about where it was assembled. The parts are still made in China, which is where the quality is real labor comes from. I'll be impressed if they open up actual factories here in the US, and stop using Ireland to funnel cheaper tax rates.
I'm sure this is directed to all large multi-national companies and not just Apple, right? Or is the old adage, "Haters going to hate." in full effect here?
I get so sick of hearing how this and that will save us billions of dollars, when in fact all its doing is lining the pockets of some politician, lobbyist and a private interest group.
Why don't they just focus on cutting all funding for Homeland security? It seems that every terrorist plot has been foiled by the average passenger so far. How much money would that save us??? Plus you would get the added benefit of some dude not touching your "special place" when you travel and opt out of the porno scanners.

Is it just me or does it seem like Samsung is hard at work trying to sway public opinion with these stories of late? I mean seriously, where's are the Slashdot stories talking about the report that shows Samsung's labor violations in China?!?
It would be very interesting if it happens to Apple too. I can safely bet Apple is the technology company that has more "journalists" in their payroll.
Actually, I'm more curious about all of their competition's paid commenters (astroturfing).
You know how you always see the fudged **AA's accounting that says that stealing music/movies cost billions in jobs/lost revenue, well now we can say that sloppily shutting down servers cost people billions in lost jobs/revenue.
I can only conclude that basically companies are just planting RIM hate and RIM apocalypse stories.
Andriod, Apple, Microsoft and Linux fans are all going to throw you RIM fans a special concert performed on the world's tiniest violins. Consider it a "Welcome to our World" tribute concert.

"Hi, I reported that my company was using pirated software by clicking the link below. It was easy and I received a cash reward for squealing. Now, I'm recommending it to my friends and family. They too can make easy money by turning in their boss and/or employer."

HOW DOES IT WORK?!?
I just have one question... did the RIAA pay for this submission or the MPAA?

I for one, welcome our new robotic non-union overlords.
It's about time. It has been quite embarrassing when my family and I go online to search for photos of our missing dirt farming friend, Mr. Sanchez.

Yeah, that seemed to work so well with the iPhone. I hear that Apple will be going bankrupt any day now.
I really hope that they actually have something this time and it's not another "science" flop.
Fuck that! Take your beatings like iPhone and Android. Jeezo, Microsoft (and your shills) you're a frick'n baby.
Haha... maybe that's why Android's market share has increase. People need to by multiple phones for different apps.
Maybe fragmentation isn't so bad after all.

I heard it was headed to Clearwater, FL where it spends its winters. Unfortunately, it's not a fast moving boat.
I read the title and all I got to say is that its a damn shame about the HMS Bounty.
...as a million iPhone users snicker as the FBI classifies Android as a virus.

I thought they were the ones that don't make her ass look big... oh, genes... I thought you said jeans.

I totally believe it. Apple had a mole in the board room. He allegedly stole plans for the iPhone and took them to Google.

If it's as tough as nails, then why not just make the armor out of nails? Thanks folks, I'll be here all week!
