Typo in article….CEO is Tim Apple
For anyone else who, like me, didn't know: Trump once referred to Tim Cook as “Tim Apple”, as described in the Wikipedia article on Tim Cook:
In a meeting for the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board with President Donald Trump in March 2019, Trump referred to Cook as "Tim Apple".
Two take aways from that. One, Trump does not understand why any company would not be named after its founder. Two, Trump has never created a successful company that he ever stepped down from or been trusted enough to take over someone else's company. Well, he torpedoed the USFL, which wasn't named after him.
I was wondering why a cook would meet with trump.
Perhaps they’re planning something with a cobbler
Ha! Writer was probably hungry and just thought of food when apple came to mind and then remembered he needed to cook something. The brain is a crazy thing.
Tim Apple is really proving to be a follower and not a leader. Pretty lame move Mr. Apple.
Can you imagine being that rich and still having to suck dick?
Tim Apple is gay, so he’s probably fine with sucking dick at any networth. Not sure that’s the insult you intended it to be.
Not really an insult so much as a commentary. Wasn't really literal. BTW you know any gay people that want to suck Trump's dick? I sure don't.
This year provided a great primer for all of us asleep in the industry on what our leadership's objectives really are. It cut through the bullshit like a razor. We should remember it for the years to come. I sincerely hope it's taken millions of heads out of asses.
Everyone forgets by spring. Don't hold your breath.
I self-hosted Wiki.js to keep receipts for myself. 🥹
Yeah, the smart ones knew all along. The dumb ones don't care or will forget.
It's funny how all of these "silicon valley tech is running the world" conspiracy nuts are all silent now 😬
ANOTHER Billionaire CEO visiting Trump at Mar A Lago now that he's President Elect? I can SMELL the Fresh Flowers growing in that Former Swamp because OBVIOUSLY this ISNT Corrupt at all!
The equivalent of dukes, barons and other modern nobility need to pay tribute to the new king. It's a tradition as old as humanity itself.
Those goes back to the concept of anacyclosis, or social cycle theory. After democracy comes ochlocracy, concentration of wealth and demagogues, what turns into a form of monarchy.
In an ideal world, CEOs would have no more access to politicians than the average citizen.
In an ideal world we wouldn’t have to breathe
"Tim who?"
"Cook."
"Uh,"
"Apple, sir."
"No thanks."
“Apple, sir.”
hisses, his body rejecting the idea of fresh fruit
I'm not sure why anyone is shocked and/or outraged by CEOs of American companies paying a visit to the guy who is going to be running the country.
CEOs of various companies meet the President all the time.
i think it’s because none of the CEOs really wanted to play ball with him last time. but this time they are way more afraid of him
Bingo. This gives no indication of what they discussed or what said CEOs actually think of him. Basically just routine politics to ensure they don't get on his bad side regardless.
SJ was said to have been asked by Obama how to bring back production and answered that it wasn't coming back. But I honestly believe that was more about a president bringing business leaders to a meeting to try to gather information and this is absolutely just kissing the ring. They aren't the same because Trump is different from every other president we've ever had.
He also said Obama would be a one term president
And then he died
Remember when Tim Cook told someone’s mom to just by an iPhone in order to access iMessage. True colors coming out there, total douche bag.
who the fuck is Tim Cook? that's Tim Apple in the picture.
I, for one, am looking forward to our soon to be corporate hellscape.
We need a Luigi.
third time the charm, and they can't forget the other guy too, or we're you talking about tim cook?
Let me guess, discussing the implementation of this? But this time instead of concerts, its at peaceful protests...
(Its an apple patent that allows iPhone cameras to be remotely disabled upon detection of a signal)
Couldn't you just put a filter on for that spectrum and it would never trigger the sensor?
Still terrible and should never happen, but it seems like it'd be easy to bypass and would be ripe with 3rd party vendors.
If they are actually doing this, it wouldn't be with IR lights, it'd be a radio signal. And they would also make the "airplane mode" be not really turn off the radio, but it would still be listening for signals passively, but emitting no signals (so you can't detect that fact its listening passively). Then cops can turn on a radio broadcast to nearby phones with a "Disable Camera and Microphone functions" message. Any phone that pick it up will disable those functions.
Ah that does make more sense.
Time to make a Faraday cage bag that can expose the camera without exposing the radio. If that's even possible. A cage with a big hole seems... not a cage lol.
Or just... buy a camera?
Cameras have no radios, as far as I know. (Just watch, they are gonna start making "Smart Cameras" with phoning home to a NSA server)

It’s hard to bite an anus
We call this the #TeamCrook era aka today’s Apple.
Bend the knee little bitch. Bend that knee.
Tim Apple*
All the oligarchs need to kiss the ring in order to get favorable rulings.
Are they referring to his dick or something?
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
