Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a filing to the Supreme Court on Wednesday that the company disagrees with President Trump’s decision to terminate DACA, the Obama-era program that shields some immigrants without documentation from being deported. ″We are distressed at the prospect of ripping our DACA colleagues from the fabric of our company,” Cook and HR head Deidre O’Brien wrote in a friend-of-the-court brief. Apple said it employs 443 dreamers, or people that DACA protects from deportation. The Trump administration’s effort to undo DACA is part of a broader effort to restrict immigration, whether it’s through family separation at...

California Senator Kamala Harris is again formally asking Twitter to suspend President Donald Trump's controversial Twitter account, but the social media platform may be reluctant to do so. In a letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, the Democratic presidential candidate wrote on her campaign letterhead that the president's constant tweets attacking the whistleblower that ignited an impeachment inquiry violates Twitter's user agreement rules. Harris points out several tweets in the past week that appear to "target, harass, and attempt to out the whistleblower who set forth credible allegations that the President has abused his power by urging a foreign government...

There will be such an outpouring of sewage that no one stays clean. The 2020 election is going to be a real doozy. If you thought that the hacking, vicious memes, rumor-mongering, Russian interference and FBI blundering was bad last time, just wait. No matter who wins, the question of whether the outcome was fair or even accurate will arise, for partisans on the losing side and conspiracy theorists, but also for any reasonably objective person who’s watching. It’s likely, in other words, that the result of the 2020 election, particularly if it ends up close, will have little credibility....

VANITY— . OPINION: Just an observation here: it seems to me, that BREITBART is now devoted to “celebrity ‘News’,” rather than the real news. All celebs all the time.... If I want to know what’s actually happening, the true news, I tune in here—to, FreeRepublic.Com .

Rajesh Srivastava always loved trading stocks and options. When he found a way to turn that passion into a software that helps traders analyze and respond to the market, he started a one-man business around it in 2015. He eventually left behind his career working for technology firms to run his company, priceSeries, in Sunnyvale, California, which he launched for less than $1,000 to cover three used servers he purchased on eBay, along with memory and storage for the servers. He sells the software by monthly subscription to more than 2,000 customers a month, on average, and now has annual...

Unlike their Republican counterparts, Democrats have been mostly trusting of the media, with 69 percent of respondents who said they trust the media to report the news “fully, fairly, and accurately.” The survey mostly fell along partisan lines, creating a wide gap between those who trust and those who distrust the media. The latest poll is a four-percent decrease from the year before among every other group surveyed....

What does DJT know? Why is he questioning Crowdstrike? see http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3781317 A FReeper post today on that article by DivineMomentsOfTruth, posted this: "The DNC had Crowdstrike investigate their alleged Russian hack, while telling the FBI to go away. What was the DNC hiding.. We’ve been asking this since it happened. President Trump wants the Ukrainians to investigate Crowdstrike.. THAT has the Democrats in a panic." Got me thinking. As a hypothetical, how much of recent history would be explained if Crowdstrike was a CIA company??? Not to involve Fusion GPS at all, just talking Crowdstrike. Hmmm. It would explain why...

President Clinton? Mariah Carey roasted for Trump-bashing photo op with Hillary & Bill Mariah Carey has felt the wrath of Twitter after sharing photos she took with “President” Hillary Clinton and her husband. The singer was likely taking a swipe at Donald Trump but the Twitterati was not impressed. “An honor to meet President Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton!” Carey wrote, including two photographs she took with the former first couple. She also thanked the pair for “everything you have done and continue to do for our country.” The photo op was applauded by many of Carey’s...

Well, this is certainly an odd coincidence! In fact, when you dig in, you find an amazing series of coincidences. If you believe in coincidences when the CIA is involved, that is. Mitt Romney’s national security advisor in his 2012 campaign -- a career CIA spook who rose to its top levels -- sits on the board of directors of Burisma, the Ukrainian gas company that formerly paid Hunter Biden $50k a month despite his complete lack of credentials or qualifications. And it also an odd coincidence that Mitt has as CNN puts it “been a lone Republican voice expressing...

Dear friends: I'm having a computer problem I would like some advice/help on. Please be aware that this problem has been ongoing for several weeks, so please don't advise me to reboot or clear out the cache since I've done that several times and it makes no difference whatsoever. And please don't ask if my computer is plugged in or turned on. I don't understand why cruelly having fun at the expense of someone with an issue is so popular here. Daily Motion is an excellent site for watching old movies and TV shows that YouTube won't allow. I used...

*The BeyHive is calling on actress Bette Midler to fall back after she suggested Beyonce should help mobilize against President Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential bid. However, her attempts to use the superstar’s fanbase for her political agenda quickly backfired. Taking to Twitter, the “Hocus Pocus” star urged Beyonce to call on her millions of followers to rock the vote in 2020. “Beyoncé has 133 million Instagram followers,” Midler tweeted. “More than double the people who voted for Trump. Wouldn’t it be amazing if the #BeyHive mobilized to defeat him? I also wouldn’t mind if a regular bee hive f****d his...

Apple Inc’s new iPhones will use recycled rare earth elements in a key component, the company said on Wednesday. Apple said it will use recycled rare earths in its “Taptic Engine,” a part that lets iPhones mimic a physical button click despite being a flat pane of glass. The part is about one-quarter of the rare earth elements inside the iPhone models. Rare earths, a group of 17 specialized minerals, have become a flash point in trade tensions between the United States and China. The elements are used in weapons, consumer electronics and other goods. China dominates the processing of...

COBOL is celebrating 60 years since its specifications were signed off. Darling of Y2K consultants, the language is rapidly approaching pensionable age, but many a greybeard owes their career to it. It arose from a desire to create a language that could straddle the computers of the era. Each manufacturer had its own way of working, which, while OK if a company always stuck with one maker, made portability of programs or skills a tad tricky. If only there was, say, a COmmon Business-Oriented Language? Wouldn't that be splendid? Mary Hawes, a programmer of Burroughs machines, put forward a proposal...

After weighing options in Pittsburgh, Detroit and several cities in Florida, Egnyte, a cloud storage company from Silicon Valley, opened a Raleigh office on Thursday with plans to eventually hire 120 people. The office, on the 18th floor of the PNC Plaza building, will serve as the lead sales office for the company’s East Coast operations, a geographic area that includes everything east of the Rocky Mountains. However, despite the sales focus, the office is hiring across all positions, including engineering, product and customer success teams. “I don’t think there will be any position that we will shy away from”...
