Comment Apple is giving some leeway, just some. (Score 1) 126

Apple has the right to ask their employees to show up at the office, when requested. This policy, of course, prevents anyone that isn't within driving distance to actually work for them. Was the new policy an internal compromise? If so, it's a poor one that seems to have been pushed by insecure middle managers. If someone can do their job remotely, and do it well, they should have to option to do exactly that. Employees can always move on to another company if unhappy at Apple.

Comment Should have named it "Prime with commercials". (Score 1) 39

I don't like seeing IMDb videos listed in Prime as free. Sure they're free, but with commercials. At first it seemed like they were trying to trick users and double dip by charging customers and receiving commercial payments. I don't pay to watch commercials. I'd prefer if Prime Video stopped showing the commercial laden movies and TV shows at all. Keep the commercial laden service completely separate. I doubt that will happen, however.

Comment Re:And? (Score 1) 60

Our area has Frontier as one of the ISP's. They only offer broadband DSL 30 down and 3 up. That was actually good enough to stream 4K HDR videos. But, a small fiber company started up over two years ago and has been poaching Frontier customers since then with 100/100 speeds at about the same price as Frontier's 30/3. This looks like Frontier PR, which has never represented reality.
