Since when has Apple given anything away for "free"?

Give me an HP calculator any day of the year over any other. Once I learned how to use a HP, I can no longer use an algebraic calculator.

The HP in the end is so much simpler.

The sad thing is US companies only care about the protections the US gives them.
There is zero interest in protecting the interests of the nation.
There is no loyalty to the nation that provided them the opportunity.
When it comes to paying taxes, there is zero desire to support the nation.
Profits and "share holder" interests are more important than anything else.

It reminds me of the movie Rollerball with James Caan where the world was run by corporations.

As the Apostle Paul wrote:
1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is the root of all evil...

PS -- I am sure if this goes through Google will be crying to congress looking for a handout due to lost business. That is now the American way!

This is so unjust. From the companies perspective it is a great ROI and a small price to pay.

I think they call it Hema-roid.

He will probably require you to sign and support some sort of gun control agenda in order to be eligible for the money. He is simply prepaying for his gun control agenda.

I know my skills have diminished due to electronic devices.

I think that the opiate crisis is a perfect example of their way of thinking. I guarantees a customer for life.

1. Convince (payoff) doctors that opiates are not addicting and should be more widely prescribed.

2. Lobby the FDA/DEA/etc. to allow a greater flow and easier access to opiates.

3. Get the DEA to back-off on companies who sell unusually large amounts of opiates.

4. Sit back as doctors over prescribe their wares knowing that they will be abused.

5. Watch as people get addicted to their opiates.

6. Produce drugs that counteract the effects of opiates.

7. Jack-up price of the Narcan and other like substances knowing people will pay the inflated prices while keeping the price of opiates low.

8. Sit back and count the cash as it rolls in claiming it is not our fault the DEA approved out actions.

This way the get a customer for life. And get the double bonus with selling them Narcan at an inflated price.

Disclaimer: I don't use Facebook as I don't trust them and I like to maintain some sort of semblance of privacy.

I am convinced that even if they charged users to keep their information private they would still sell it . Money trumps all in their business.

They have no ethics and either does Google, LinkedIn, etc. Remember Googles original motto of Do No Evil? That went quickly by the wayside.

The man pages.

Heck, T-Mobile could only go downhill if the merger went throw.

Not a one of those "tech leaders" has ever served in the military so they have no bases on which to state their option on the subject.

Amazon Prime Day is just black Friday on a different day...

So, it is being claimed that Kaspersky's is trying to take down cyber-criminals? If they were accused of using their anti-virus software to spy that would be a different story.

Because they work in Washington D.C. and it is almost impossible to get a permit to carry a gun even in a car. Where would they store their weapon before they enter the city?
