Steve Jobs had a problem with democrats (Obama) and Tim Cook is for democrats (Hillary)

Tim is for more charities and to help the poor. Think about it...
 
But why would she need more money?

Sorry, I am not from the USA so I might be missing something.

The money's not for her, it's for her campaign and she needs at least as much as the opposition, otherwise she's at a disadvantage. It costs money to run ads, contact voters and have a staff.

Pretty simple.

What a load of sappy nonsense...



#LockHerUp
Well, that's what a fascist like Trump would typically do to his political enemies, lock them up. So you might get your way in the end.

So it is now considered fascist to want to have law and order upheld in this country? It is now fascist to say that even the Clintons must abide to the law, and if they break it, they must face the same consequences as any normal citizen would?

Fascists do usually sell themselves by promising that sort of thing, as "strongmen" who bring order and they use that to justify their authoritarian behaviour. The fearful and weak usually buy into that sort of thing.

Hillary hasn't broken the law. I'm sure you'll come up with a conspiracy theory that "proves" that she did. Good luck with that. Enjoy 8 years of Hillary.

I do not support Trump because he said he will "lock her up". In fact, I have never heard him say that. I believe that is the job for the people that handled it, and sadly, they decided that instead of indicting a criminal, they would let her go. If you listen to his statement, he said himself Hillary lied about only using one phone. She actually used many. He also said that there were many, many classified documents. I support Trump as a lesser of two evils.

I have a question for you, does it not at all bother you that she hired DWS to join her campaign? I mean, she was fired for conspiracy against Bernie.

Oh if only people weren't so low information when it came to Trump. He has said it before and after a bit of good behavior he said it again yesterday saying no more Mr. Nice guy.
 
Can you really call the corporate bribe fest in the US a democracy..?

There's a lot to like about the US, but the political system is truly screwed up.
Don't get me wrong, I love the USA, but the way its politics work really are what puts me off.

And yes, good point I guess about the bribery.

Maybe you should take a break from the internet and get some fresh air since you've seemed to acquire a demi-god complex.

Well, that escalated quickly. Heh

Instead of donating money to the power games of the absurdly wealthy, how about just setting it on fire and saving yourself the postage?

Um, check your facts. Congress has the sole power to declare war, not the President. Democrats were in charge (with a majority) of the US Senate when the Iraq war was declared by an authorization of use of force. Hillary Clinton was part of that Democrat Senate majority. The Democrat controlled Senate could have blocked the Iraq war before it even came to a vote, but they did not. The Senate has access to the same intelligence as the President. So Hillary and the Democrats are even more to blame for the Iraq war because they declared it.

But it gets worse. Let's assume Hilary fans are correct and that she and her Democrat party are geniuses of foreign policy. That means they knew Iraq would go very bad, but let it happen anyway because they knew they could blame a Republican president (W) using a biased media, and also undermine our military's ability to prevail. So they declared a hapless war that got thousands of American solders killed for their own political gain. The contents of the publicly released DNC emails that show the bias against Sanders is just more proof of the Democrats moral corruption, which is unbounded.

Please check all this out - if you vote for Hillary Clinton, you are voting to destroy America.

See above... Getting solders killed for political gain is tantamount to treason.

Another low information voting, Fox News viewing republican whose allergic to facts and reality. I could try to debate you but you're detachment from reality is far it's completely pointless to even try.

Your complete asinine line of deranged thoughts could only be the result of years of viewing Fox News while listening to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and right wing radio.

What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone On this forum is now dumber for having read to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
 
Because Presidential campaigns are very expensive. They buy lots of advertising on TV, radio, internet etc which is not cheap. It is basically why only super rich or well connected people can ever be president now.
tip: there is an easy way to avoid that, forbid any advertising about politics.

No. Steve Jobs had a problem with anyone who got in his way. Period. Steve Jobs didn't like Obama's business or tax policies. It wasn't personal. Guess what -- based on Tim Cooks interviews I'm betting he doesn't like Hilary Clinton's tax policies either.

But here is the difference between Jobs and Cook. Jobs felt his presence, his position @ Apple was enough to get those in power's ear. He was right. Tim Cook does not have that prestige. He has to "pay to play" just like everyone else. If Clinton is elected he wants a seat at the table. It's the same reason he reached out to Paul Ryan, who as Speaker has enormous power over the shape of tax policy. This has nothing to do w/ helping the poor b/c the poor are not going to get any help. It's pure politics -- not that TC isn't a D. Maybe that is just a bonus for him, but beside the point.

Oh, ok, I was kind of expecting a source that showed that Steve told Tim to "not get political, over and over again".

Why do people like yourself feel that you have to make up some imaginary garbage? Doesn't it make you feel worthless once you realize that everyone knows that it was made up crap all along?
[doublepost=1469857643][/doublepost]You're funner than maxsix :-D

Again, you have zero sources for

"Tim, Steve Joes told you time and time again not to get political."

Why on earth would you post something like this? Are you living in Apple Fantasy world?

This is Mac Rumors and not Mac Facts. Stories and lore of Apple's past, present and future is part and parcel if this web site.

This is not a debate club nor a journalism site. Fact checking has no requirement to those that comment or post the articles. If you want fact checking, go somewhere else!

Don't believe me, your loss. Keep in the cubical and fill out those TPS reports. Those here who knows how the inside of Cupertino runs (or does not run) regularly tip our hand here to those that appreciate it.

A night at Steve's house can tell you more about Apple than working with him for nineteen years.

To any criminal, someone that wants to uphold the law is a facist. Typical cop hating mindset of those socially irresponsible.

Again, Tim going Democrat and explicitly supporting Hillary will hurt Apple's bottom line. When the Apple board sees the dive in earnings two quarters from now, Tim is gone as CEO.

Would you describe the transition from a weak Articles of Confederation to a strong Constitution as a fascist takeover? Would that make George Washington our first fascist?

Neither will be president of the a United States. Two possibilities exist:
1) Trump wins and all those people who say they'll leave the country, actually will leave this time.
2) Clinton wins and half the states secede starting Civil War II.

To me the biggest Tell of this entire campaign is Peter Theil donating a half million to Trump and then coming out during his speech at the GOP convention.

Peter is an early investor of Facebook and has access to their internal user surveys. While the yellow mainstream media is doing anything they can to discredit Trump, the editors know Hillary has no hope of winning. This is all damage control for Hillary trying to keep her from leaving the USA to avoid prosecution.

From that, Hillary is going down in far left style showing her true colors of hating Liberty, hating free speech and hating free markets. She probably keeps her anti-Vietnam protest peace beads in her purse. There was a riot wall surrounding the stage of the DNC convention and barely any American flags shown.

Precisely what damage has been done the last 8 years?


Usually that logic everyone should be making $1 a day so we can compete with 3rd world countries. It's the logical extension of your argument. If raising wages is bad, lowering them is good right? Right?

And it's funny, there are companies paying $15 (or near that) an hour already and guess what? Still hiring! Still in business.

Oh I dunno, adding ten trillion to the national debt that millennials will pay for, stagnant wages and no employment growth, black unemployment a disgrace, rapid expansion of terrorist attacks, race relations at an all time low, drone killings rampant, and a lot of golf... No worries because QE has propped the equities markets so the rich get richer while the administration that facilitates it complains about the result of their monetary policy! I laugh at that every time a speaker pontificated about it at the DNC convention.

People who make $15 per hour and above produce commensurate value. No problem with that whatsoever. However, forcing employers to pay unskilled workers to pay above market rates for labor will reduce the number of people employed while providing strong incentives for replacing with automation or moving offshore. Have you looked at teen and minority employment rates lately?

Apple should support Hillary for reasons that are well known. They need cheap, offshore labor to build their products while maintaining their remarkable profit margin. Trump wants tariffs that will decimate those margins. No brainer - Hillary's election is critical for Apple's business model.

Taxes on offshore earnings might get a little sporting though...

This is prime example of hate fixation. Sorry you know those names so well.

There are growing numbers of retired hippies in their fifty year old tie-dye t-shirts while screaming at Fox News on TV screens in nursing homes.

Have you joined them yet?

You get it. It is all about cheap labor. Tim being an account, cannot look outside the current business model and is just looking at ways to keep overhead low.

My prediction this time next year is Tim is out with his Platinum parachute fully deployed, Apple stock is compromised, the new campus is only half occupied (they didn't beat the Silicon Valley big campus curse) and a new CEO comes in slashing and burning those who just sit and take a salary without doing anything like Steve did in the late 90's.

Of course they will blame it on Trump. Social parasites always blame those that want them to earn a living.
