I admire their products but not their shameful anti American business practices.
Well...I admire Southwest Airlines and GE. Guess I’m not as much of a troglodyte as most people think.
It is interesting to note that two of Apple’s competitors (Alphabet and Microsoft) are also in the Top 10.
“3,800 executives, analysts, directors, and experts...”
‘Nuf Said. More glad-handing and back-slapping and circle-jerking.
Starbucks? They must’ve supplied the over-priced coffee while the above, ‘experts’ were making up this list. ;)
Really? Apple has a market cap of $700B, and over $250B in the bank. They are obviously doing something right, even if you’re not a fan.
They are all working with the deep state.
It is far past time anyone on FR should be cheering on any of these tech weasels.
I didn’t say anything bad about apple; I was raggin’ on Starbucks.
“They are all working with the deep state. It is far past time anyone on FR should be cheering on any of these tech weasels.”
+1
I’m not cheering on anyone; I’m pointing out that number one’s competitors are ranked quite high as well. Nothing more or less than that.
To their credit, Apple has attempted to resist forced decryption of their devices. I realize that crediting Apple for anything is very difficult for you.
I don’t care what they did with their phones.
They, along with MS, Google, Twitter, Facebook, and the rest have poured their cash and support into prying the borders wide open, and allowing God knows what across it. This is not counting their censorship and media manipulation efforts.
So save me the fan boy crap. They are all rats, and no amount of shiny toys they dangle out there will make me not see that their other hand is holding a gun at the back of our heads.
So no they get no credit from me, and I don’t admire any of them.
I note you’re giving a pass to manufacturers of Windows-based PC hardware.
Why might that be?
So you want me to list every blasted company out there when I clearly stated “and the rest” as a easily understood shorthand that means anyone that falls into the same category?
That would be nice, rather than behaving as if Apple was the only hardware manufacturer with any issue whatsoever, as you always do. You’re an MS Certified IT guy, correct? Sounds as if you’re just talking your own book and trash talking a threat to your floozy little job, otherwise. Wouldn’t want to come across as being that shallow and crass, now would you?
“Sounds as if you’re just talking your own book and trash talking a threat to your floozy little job, otherwise. Wouldn’t want to come across as being that shallow and crass, now would you?”
That is honestly one of the most bizzare things I’ve ever read. I mean that barely even sounds like gibberish.
Dont worry about me. It’s you Apple dudes that have to spin BS to yourselves in order for you to happily not dump your boyfriend when he is beating the hell out of you.
Of course it wouldn’t make sense to you. Maybe being a bit more pointed would? You don’t speak poorly of Windows-based PCs because your livelihood depends upon them. You do speak poorly of Apple because they’re a threat to your livelihood. Perfectly understandable, if you’d just be honest about it.
