I wonder what Apple uses for all their employees to work and meet remotely....I'm confident it isn't made by Apple.
Apple hasn't made their own VPN protocol, if that's what you mean.

country had strong effective leadership like South Korea. Just dreamingMay seems pretty optimistic for the country hardest hit by the virus. It's appropriate perhaps for Europe, but the U.S. should be looking to July at the earliest.
I found a job posting on their site the other day that seems like a perfect fit for me, unfortunately, the job is located in Austin, TX and I'm in San Diego, CA (unable to relocate). I would love a job where I could work remote/from home supporting Apple. Hope that happens in the future.
To steal a line: “because they are smart”. Attribution purposely avoidedApple will continue to dodge taxes? Cool.
"virtual company-wide meeting"
Mostly just want to know what software they used for this. Facetime, Zoom, WebEx, ______....
The balance sheet that Tim created, because he is producing people want to buy. While I got there are varied and wide views on everything Apple, the proof is in the pudding. Apple products are NOT status symbols, imo, people who believe that are from another era. They are premium though, at least in my opinion.I do love his belief in the company and optimism about the company's future, but, it still feels empty. Its like, his confidence comes from the company's balance sheet. Rehashing the same products over and over again, to sell them as something new to customers (iPad Pro with A12Z - just one more graphics core, iPhone SE, MacBook Air with a better keyboard ). That doesn't feel like ground breaking to me. The product categories are also messy. Too many iPads to choose from, iPhone is all over the place, you are paying for features, which frankly should not be premium. But, what I ultimately feel is, this virus is going to change our buying habits when it comes to buying new technology.
Apple products are in part status symbols; they turn heads, draw interest, conversation starters. But, I'm afraid, if we continue into this crisis, there is little need for any of us to really be upgrading. I know, my upgrade plans have pretty much been pushed out to 2023 or whenever Apple stops providing OS updates for the devices I already own.
...
You bring up a good point with smartphones as a whole. Phones from other manufacturers are just as useless in the "pro" space. I wonder how Dex is fairing being a replacement for a fully loaded windows corporate desktop?Apple calls so many of their devices 'pro'(fessional)... during Covid stay-at-home measures one finally sees that there is nothing pro about a lot of it. Talking primarily about software. FaceTime for instace... is a consumer toy.

Gee whiz, what did Tim have for lunch?
And hence, his entire contention is wrong? Please, cut it with the straw-man baloney.You do know that a weak balance sheet limits paying people, R&D, and pretty much anything a company does right?
Human nature will not change. We seek status, because higher status people: win the best quality breeding partners; and gain more resources easier, thus increasing survival chances. Both of these increase the chances of our genes being passed on, improving, and surviving. Our evolved emotional behaviours are extremely simple and primitive, regardless of how fast our technology advances and leaves us behind.I do love his belief in the company and optimism about the company's future, but, it still feels empty.

Tim gets a lot of flak but he's a good one imo
Yep. Just as bad as the apple sycophants and tim bootlickers.Cook gets lots of flak... from know-nothing armchair CEOs who post on blogs. The ‘fire Cook’ movement is a prime example of ignorant fools with nothing better to do than reveal their stupidity on blog forums.
But if you compare it to windows, you see just how great it is
Yeah, it's where you confidence should come from as a leader of a company. Apple has a fortress balance sheet, built by a fantastic leader in Tim Cook.I do love his belief in the company and optimism about the company's future, but, it still feels empty.

Tim Cook Assures Employees Apple is Staying Focused on What It Does Best
I mentioned facetime - why do you deviate to network protocolsApple hasn't made their own VPN protocol, if that's what you mean.
Hm... I don't think the phones (hardware) is useless ... just most of the software including their super-praised 'eco-system'... well... great for families and friends, I agree... but 'pro' as in for professional use as in work with it? LMAOYou bring up a good point with smartphones as a whole. Phones from other manufacturers are just as useless in the "pro" space. I wonder how Dex is fairing being a replacement for a fully loaded windows corporate desktop?
FaceTime is **** BECAUSE everybody has to have an Apple device.... again, works in families and rarely maybe in strangely homogeneous circles of friends. Why on earth is this **** not open.... oh yeah, that's right, because they want to lock people in... just like other companies, at least those others do it cross platform. Remember, Apple is a hardware company. Their services are just addons for the looks.Its true about facetime, it's a ubiquitous consumer toy that is wildly successful within the ecosystem. As far as their corporate tools, probably zoom, webex etc. In the same way, apple uses AWS.
If any of the Apple watches in the field are capable of accurately measuring o2 saturation, Apple Should enable it. This is a key parameter for folks suffering respiratory distress Apple could play a big role.
maybe FDA could give a special approval.
