Everyone who works there is complicit if they are not actively fighting this.

It’s childish to stand up for your ideals and cowardly to risk being fired in retaliation? Interesting read on the situation you’ve got there.

how is putting your job at risk to stand up for human rights cowardly? you realize how easy it is to just keep your head down and do as you are told? what people like them are doing is hard and they are putting their financial security at risk for others who they dont even know. i suppose “because everyone else is…

This may shock you, but skilled Microsoft engineers would have ZERO difficulty in finding new employers.

Yeah those engineers will be just fine if they quit, there is a severe shortage of software, hardware and network engineers. So they will be able to find new work in two weeks or less.

This doesn’t feel like nitpicking to me. It feels like there’s a detail in the review which renders the headline completely inaccurate. When I commute, I ride both buses and trains. So when I hear someone say that these earbuds are “nearly perfect” for my commute except that they’re useless on buses and trains, it’s…

“practically useless in very loud environments”

So...these are “almost the perfect commuter earbuds”, except for their practical uselessness on buses and trains? 

Since they ended up producing the headphones, shouldn’t the title be “sony made the almost perfect headphones”?

Glad we have firm data, but this should be obvious to everyone without a study. Anyone who’s been in an emergency room probably noticed there are always homeless/mentally ill people there that the ER staff are quite familiar with because ER staff are the only people who have an obligation to treat them when they need…

Why would we want to split up our 55 electoral votes... OH, I see. The GOP wants some of the votes that typically go for democratic candidates. The only way this could remotely work is if we had a constitutional amendment to get rid of the electoral college. California is doing just fine as it is. This won’t pass. …

My company is a multi-billion dollar company, and our ethics are fantastic. We practice what we preach and we all feel like we are doing genuinely good things with our work days.

I second RumpleDickSkin’s comments (really, that was the best name you could come up with). Having spent most of the the last decade at Apple, I can attest that money is not the primary motivator for most decisions. I’m sure that it’s something largely considered by the executive teams, but the corporate cultures they…

Let’s just get the obvious stuff out of the way and acknowledge that multi-billion-dollar companies don’t have fundamental values outside of doing what best benefits their shareholders.

I think the QR code in the control center is just because people didn’t realize the camera was a QR code scanner. Makes it easy for those who don’t read articles like this.

I’m guessing you skipped right to the comments section? They address two of those.

Weren’t those non-licensed 3rd party cables causing fires or something? Seems like a reasonable thing to kill. And you can get properly licensed ones for cheap, so I’m not sure why this would be a deal breaker for anyone.

While the placebo effect of slower devices is real, and the admitted slowing of a handful of devices was real, Apple actually said in this presentation that they are giving a big speed boost to older devices. They cited iPhone 6+ as being 40-70% faster at a handful of common activities.

How cheap do you have to be that Lightning cables are a deal breaker? Anker cables start at $6.50 - if you’ve paid $800 for a iPhone, a $6.50 cable is a deal breaker?

“With electric vehicles rapidly becoming more viable for long distance trips... Two men in Denver set out to break the record distance in a Model 3 this weekend and after 32 hours... After driving 606 miles...”

I’m sure the autoworkers and coalminers will be overjoyed to hear about these developments.
