Seems like every new apple venture has a hidden "fuck you" wrapped in it somewhere, for someone.

- happyscrappy 11y agoIf all you have is an Apple hate hammer then everything looks like a nail.
- meesterdude 11y agoI don't hate apple, just what they do.
- happyscrappy 11y agoI don't hate white people, just what they do.
- Gigablah 11y agoPlease explain.

- happyscrappy 11y agoI was not trying to steer towards politics. I should have said Ruby developers to point out the emptiness of his distinction.
- dang 11y agoSorry if I misread that particular one, but you post a lot of these and we need them to stop. You're welcome to keep contributing as long as the posts are substantive and civil.
- happyscrappy 11y agoI will dial back the sarcasm.
- forthefuture 11y agoOr maybe Apple just does a lot of things that are negative for everyone but Apple, and all of the profit they steal from other people they keep in cash and don't even reinvest, leading to the largest misappropriation of resources in human history.
- happyscrappy 11y agoIt must be painful to see a company you hate so much loved by so many users who just can't wait to get their hands on the next product. Better to pretend they are all tricked by marketing. You probably think the world would be freer if the government banned people from buying Apple products.
- forthefuture 11y agoI don't need to hate Apple to acknowledge that they have too much money not being put towards anything. You're appealing to emotion and not reason. If Apple invested in energy, or medicine, or biotech, we would have advancements in those industries much faster, which would be a positive for the progress of humanity.
- happyscrappy 11y agoSo who shall be the arbiter of what a company spends and where?

- gress 11y agoApple as a technology company does invest directly in renewable energy, and also medical research. Separately, Apple's money isn't a stack of bills. It is a set of investments managed by Braeburn Capital, which is one of the largest hedge funds in the world, and does invest in all of these industries. You are simply wrong.

- swsieber 11y agoAnd if you have no hammer? Do you see no nails? Just because someone has a hammer doesn't mean there aren't a lot of nails. Arguing that someone must be wrong because they have an emotion is wrong - the amount of nails is independent of who has what tools, hammers included. Disclaimer: I use a mac.
