Apple suppliers: Child labor, bribery, suicides

Ascylto
Big Brother

Oh, really?

Do a little more homework on Gates 'Trust' and you'll find philanthropy is a word he cannot spell let alone act upon. Billg's father was a committed eugenicist and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation supports China's policy which denies each child a brother or sister and encourages forced abortion. In other words ... eugenics!

Apple $10k winner hangs up on 'prank caller'

Well, I've heard she'll get about $6,000 (for the $10,000) prize.

Er ... according to S Jobs (PBUH), and his Apple TV price in the UK, she should have got £10,000.

The Apple TV in the US is $99 ... in the UK it's £99! I know we have to add US tax but it still doesn't come close. We're ripped off by Apple in the UK but not, it seems, when it comes to prizes! Or are the prizes also made in and shipped from China?

I do wish him the best of health. He never looked to have recovered well from his last illness.

We need visionaries, with all their faults, not mere pen-pushers.

Get well, Steve.

I always enjoy going into Currys Digital or whatever they are calling themselves currently. I never BUY anything because they are contemptuous chumps.

Nevertheless, they ARE good for a laugh. Apple computers with continuous running adverts for Norton Utilities. They would rather sell you the Norton than the computer. They've tried the Apple marketing technique of having goods on display so you can get your hands on them ... the difference is they don't work or are disabled. Not good.

Their prices are to die for. Literally.

Their staff can still read boxes! Apparently.

These Labour politicians just can't leave the 'control' bit alone can they? They lost an election partly on the fact that they wanted us all to have a card, they stripped us of many liberties and still they want to impose a STASI-like control on the population. Listening government? I think not.

I wouldn't hesitate to help the Police if they could be trusted to destroy DNA or fingerprinting. They can't. They lie. I won't.

UK Posting - Because Apple charge extortionately more for their products than in the US (including VAT and other costs) I simply won't buy or replace any of my Apple gear until they charge more realistic prices. And I'm a rabid Apple fanatic!

Apple ditches Costco. Or vice versa. Or both

Ascylto
Big Brother

The trouble with Costco ...

The trouble with Costco vis-à-vis Apple is that Costco have a no-nonsense returns policy. If it's not to your liking or doesn't work they give you your money back. Simple. Not at all up Apple's street.

I will sometimes buy at Costco knowing that I can get the item slightly cheaper elsewhere purely because I know Costco wont bilk me if I need to return an item.

Like a lot of coppers, Gamble believes you can brow-beat people and threaten them publicly. Facebook were right.

I'll be glad to see the back of this self-serving ex-copper. I hope the coalition weakens the grip of the Sara Payne Child Protection Industry and get to grips with REAL fighting of child molesters, not just headline-grabbing Daily Fail stuff.

The first poster, Red Bren, is right ... the sooner parents/guardians take control of child protection matters the better instead of leaving it to fools like Gamble and Payne (as much as I commiserate with her dreadful experiences).
