    Yes, absolutely ... Apple is the only company exploiting the Chinese.  Apple did the right think by not creating a backdoor to people's devices.  Law enforcement has more than enough tools at their disposal to do their job.

    it is definitely just a drop in the bucket but five years my school district purchased a MacBook air for every single middle school child; we are talking around 2600 students.  They also purchased hundreds of MacBooks for the elementary schools (we have ten k-5 schools in district). 
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I send you a Pearl Jam bootleg free of choice, if you swindle one out for me - Oceans 11 style.

    I wish I could!  The MacBook airs are awesome; they have totally changed everyone’s teaching.

    I don't think innovation is to keep adding more useless bells and whistles to a smart phone, tablet or computer ...

    Innovation come's when someone develops a new and exciting product ...

    What more do people want their phones, tablets and computers to do ...


    I'm holding out for teleportation.

    It's like drug dealers, give them the goods for free or super cheap.  Charge them up the ass once they're hooked.

    My 2010 macbook pro still works like a champ.  I have never gone13 months without a Windows laptop having hardware issues. Every brand. Same result

    Why would the homeless need MacBook Airs? ... Or do you mean just some of the Trillion dollars? If so.... I dunno, maybe they do. There is no way Apple isn't doing plenty of philanthropic deeds. I have no clue if any of that helps the homeless or not though.
    I would also like to see exactly how much they pay in taxes though.... Less this year than the previous I'm sure!
