Guessing they're mostly sales/service related employees. When you get on their enterprise plan the service is fairly personal. Invision also has a wider breadth of tools than what Sketch does (though Sketch does what they do in a

Large retailers do this with store brands (Walmart), but it's generally more opaque to the consumer. It's really quite clever, you sell third-party products, but also control all transaction data — so you see which products are su

1. If they say it happened, they piss of China and risk losing their supply chain while also pissing off shareholders who weren't told about it 2. If they say they don't know if it happened, stock takes a hit because they sound in

If this were true Apple likely couldn't say it was, so I'd take this with a big grain of salt. They have a lot to lose if the story is true; look at what happened to Super Micro today. Bloomberg, on the other hand, has no incentiv

You can theorize all sorts of conspiracies, like the government planting the story to distance China... so it's possible Bloomberg was mislead. I think at this point it's more believable the story is true, because Bloomberg is the

Could these companies to anything _but_ outright deny it? Silence would be perceived as confirmation, and claiming to not know would be terrifying to their customers. Confirming it would risk their entire supply chain. Sure, maybe it's

Might as well put your social security and pin number in your phone too. Bank phone numbers in your contacts are a huge vulnerability. Just Google them when needed... or you know, look at the card.

Amazon has been facing extreme pressure to do this (strikes, political action), they did the right thing finally, but some cynicism is warranted. We can praise AND criticize — there's nothing wrong with that.

I'm sure in true Apple style, it's entirely custom, works fairly well, and much more expensive than any alternatives. If it has hardware problems they probably need to scrap the entire thing and rebuild it from scratch.

Hey at least I could use the IOMega voucher, I used to go to a lot of shows so I have like 50 worthless Ticketmaster vouchers from the lawsuit. Sometimes I get like $2 off a ticket, but the vast majority of them will go unused.

This is a professional reseller program. It's not about individuals reselling tickets last minute. This is specifically about squeezing more money out of average customers using scalping methods. Sorry for being vague about the lawsuit

It's amazing how long this ticketing scam has continued, and so blatantly. Everyone knows it's a scam! They even managed to make settling a class-action lawsuit into a huge fucking scam. It's infuriating. I feel like they sho

You could also just yell into a pillow. Half the time it's just as effective as reporting a bug to Apple without knowing someone there. You can spend a lot of time writing a good bug report for Apple; it's annoying that they don&#

If it's a single developer just starting out, the cheap customers aren't going to be the ones keeping development going. Increasing the price isn't a terrible idea though.
