    Whatever. They’ll still take the techbro paychecks and look the other way. Let me know when these nerds grow a spine.

    This is just the public things they’ve capitulated on. How many private requests have they received and acted upon?

    I don’t think this new CEO is going to last more than a year. He has all the charisma of Gil Amelio.

    At least he shelved the Apple Vision headset. Hopefully he also canned the Apple Glasses and AirPods with camera that were rumored.

      I mean, why would he care? Either way he gets obscene amounts of money for at the least a lazy years worth of work

    What a bunch of loose, prolapsed assholes these execs are. How do they expect to usher forth a technocratic state if they can’t even separate themselves from the stupidest under the status quo?

    Every single employee that was tasked to change Lake Ontario to Lake America could just say no, and quit.

    Or are we just following orders?

      One of the marketing managers was flayed on a spit. Jeez rtfa!

      /s yeah its lame but wygd, quit? In this context I read it as employee morale takes a kick in the ‘nards so go poach some applers or expect bad stuff to happen there next. Both being bad for apple and both the result of some internal chatter.
