That's an astute observation..... you definitely have a point there.
It's getting tiresome to keep hearing Tim rail against every little real or perceived injustice when there's so many other pressing issues Apple needs to deal with.
Got a tip for us?

Here it is, they also claim their findings will be released in the coming months. This should be no surprise, the democrats want illegals to be legalized citizens to grow their voter base. Democrats are infamously known for bussing people around to vote in various locations, voting in place of dead people, stuffing ballots, etc... Republicans tend to do less of this but nobody is saying they don't do it at all. There are videos of people going into voting locations and being allowed to vote as a fraudulent identity.

Yeah, but that still doesn't tell the whole story because 50% of Americans didn't vote.
Usually evidence comes from a good source. And usually involves actual evidence.
[doublepost=1487834125][/doublepost]
Again, that's not evidence. You backed up an unfounded opinion with another unfounded opinion.
Not voting is the same as supporting the outcome.
The reality is, everyone who voted for Trump plus everyone who didn't vote wanted this outcome.
This doesn't matter at all. There is a simple saying that is often repeated in political circles; "If you show up, you win". Meaning you play the game according to the rules and get 50%+1, you will own.
Trump won states that Obama won two terms in a row. Some states and counties that went from Obama to Trump, have been voting democrat for decades.
You probably didn't know that.
Yeah, still waiting on that voter fraud evidence you were going to provide.
Really? Everyone is getting all worked up over where someone is allowed to pee? Apple wants to establish themselves as an authority on where people want to drop a deuce?
Most stores I visit seem to have a "family" restroom where anyone can stroll in and lock the door behind themselves - then stand, sit, or turn handsprings while they do their business in private. I, for one, require my children to use said restroom as it guarantees their privacy.
Apple - Tim Cook, really - ought to focus on why my year-old iPhone screen is losing its sense of touch. Apple should concern itself as to why it has the most expensive TV device with an infuriating interface. Tim Cook should spend less time worrying and making "brave" statements about how I choose to go whiz, and focus on why my "current" Mac Pro is halfway to being considered "obselete" by Apple itself.
How I do my "business" is none of Apple's business. However, how Apple does business is certainly my business as a shareholder.

Yep, coming the same day as Donald's tax returns.
Yeah, it's typical liberal denial.
"I didn't go to vote but I am not okay with what was decided."
Logical fallacy. That would imply that those who did not vote knew that Trump was going to win, so they didn't vote. The reality is, by not voting, they neither supported Trump nor Hillary. There is no logical conclusion where a non-vote is a vote for either candidate. Your argument is severely flawed.
All you can say is "25% of Americans voted for trump." That's it.
They've been claiming that for weeks and weeks. Their "evidence" is always just around the riverbend, but we never quite get there. If they have evidence that they can make the claim, then let's see it...now. You really think elections that are monitored by both parties wouldn't notice 3 million fraudulent votes? Really?
Trump said he sent investigators to Hawaii too. Do you believe everything that people who seek attention tell you?
Did he say he didn't vote?
Typical conservative. Making up things out of whole cloth and worshipping at their feet.
Agreed. We didn't hear that kind of whining at all from the right after Obama won twice.
Corporations have a lot of influence over elections and policy. Anyone who voted for Trump should know this. The GOP and their constituents all want less regulation and more influence right? Lets not forget it was ruled corporations are people too. If Apple Corporation were a person maybe it would be transgender...
I'm curious why you don't have that same opinion regarding the administration? Do you think Trump is an authority on where you "drop a deuce"? I see no evidence here that you care about that.
Oh look, stupid pathetic people who think they are all high and mighty because they identify as whatever stupid gender they can come up with.
No, screw all this transgender protection crap. If you want to use a bathroom for the other gender, feel free to do it but accept any consequences that come with them. If you want to call yourself whatever gender you want or want people to use whatever pronouns you want, you can do that, but it's none of our business if they don't want to comply. Live in your fantasy world, but don't expect us to live in your fantasy world.
Also Apple should build new Macs instead of posting PC (no pun intended) **** like this.

This is where reading comprehension must've been a problem for you.
I originally said this
And you wanted evidence that they claimed that, I gave it to you.
I also told you that their findings would be released in the coming months, as they've said.
I really don't know how much more you need me to solidify my own words. I won't say something for the sake of making it up to prove you wrong.
And I'd also like to state that you thinking that you have successfully refuted the notion that "Americans want Trump" has been debunked, it is not clear and by now, you know it.
Ah, yes, that "technicality" called the Constitution. You know - that thing that keeps the rest of the country from having to follow every imaginative, ridiculous idea that Kalifornia dreams up and tries to force down the rest of the country's throat.
Please vote for CalExit. Trust me, if we could, the rest of us would likely vote for CalExit as well.
Curious as to what sort of education a child could receive in a public bathroom that you and Tim are so concerned about.
What's your agenda for wanting to disclose someone's private information (if they want it kept private)?
I feel really sad when I read some of the posts here.
As the partner of a Transgendered Woman I know at first hand the bigotry of some people towards people like her.
She has even been threatened with being outed as a MALE Paedo despite her having had that part of her body removed almost 20 years ago. That can't be right. The threat of her being arrested for not having an ID that corresponds to the one given to her at Birth (the toilet law conundrum) and thrown into a MALE Holding cell is enough to make her never want to set foot in her country of birth again (She's from Nebraska).
Just try to imagine for a moment you were her and it happened to you?
Well done Tim and Apple for standing up to the neanderthals in Politics.
