I kinda hate this change... all its going to do is make things harder to find...

Awesome! It was too easy to shop for kids already. I was just shopping for a friend’s kid the other day and was like, “I wish they could make this harder somehow.” - And Amazon delivers!

Yeah, anything to make shopping harder! Real progress!

Everything about this seems super sketchy. If Apple was releasing this and let it compete on the merits of its service, great, that’s a free market. But actively trying to stifle competition by throwing money around is completely different. That has antitrust all over it.

“happy meal toy”

Well that’s fine, they can keep their effeminate watch design that in its cheapest form looks like a shit toy that shouldn’t even remotely command that $350 price point, fuck them. Who the fuck keeps giving these road blocking assholes patents?

I don’t know who would want to copy such a shitty design?

More shocked that “Apple continues to be a bigger douche bag than Kanye” is being reported as “news”.


...actually, that’s not fair... no one is a bigger douche than Kanye.

Not mentioned here, but spelled out in the linked articles is that Apple is basically trying to kill all free music services.

This is AMD v. Intel-type shenanigans. Did they really think that they’d get a pass on this after the ebook thing?

Yeah man, I’m gonna pick up and move to another country because a handful of asshats expect another handout. I love that argument, it’s the tell tale sign of someone who has nothing of value to say. You assert that these individuals made a choice to attend these institutions based solely on purported graduation rates?…

as an employer... if i see someone in this situation, they didnt have the common sense to hold down a good job to begin with

Students profit from the fraud, as many of them live on these “Education” loans which may be used to make car payments, buy food, etc. There is often if not usually a decision to get through hard times by using student loans for that purpose, rather than for acquiring valuable job skills.

Oh, I’m sorry did your pride get wounded? Don’t worry the universe will make it all better, that’s how it works right? Look at it this way, pretty soon you won’t need to pay your Corinthian Colleges debt, so hey, at least you have that.

Then they should forgive all the student loans that went to students who got liberal arts degrees and a degree they're not using. Many colleges don't tell new and prospective students that the degree they are wanting will not net them a good job or help them to pay back their loans.

One moment, let me get my box of tissues so I can wipe away these tears...of laughter. I forgot that people can’t have nice things like degrees if it makes other people feel bad. Everyone needs to perform to the lowest common denominator so nobody’s feeling get hurt. Your message, that if you fuck up and make poor…

Chances are that for most of those students the local Community College would have been a better, and much cheaper alternative. And - employers usually trust a CC more than some for-profit ‘college’.

Sorry you’re right; accredited and relatively affordable community colleges do not have art programs, or wait...do they? What they certainly do offer is transferable credits and often the support of a larger state sponsored university system that offers direct transfers for those who want to seek an advanced degree.…

All the more reason to hold these people accountable for their poor decision making. Take some responsibility and research the investment of time and money you are about to make before sinking yourself into debt. Go to an accredited community college. If these same people spent 10 minutes to Google the reality of…

$80k to take online classes? What are people smoking applying for a loan for this service? I mean I could see needing a streamlined approach to a degree, but for $80k and decades of my life in debt, I’m no doubt going to a physical location. I mean, I have a friend that got her masters for $100k
