Goodbye
Posted 13 years agoWhy people with bias do not think.
Posted 13 years agoA friend of mine showed me a link to this article http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/03/b.....carr.html?_r=2 where Apple got a police to bust into a person's door to retrieve a top-secret new model iPhone that an Apple employee accidentally left at a bar, as well as to confiscate several electronics he owned. She went on and on about how evil Apple is and how they abused the system to get this thing back.
Let it be known that near the beginning of the article, it reads "After Gizmodo, a gadget blog owned by Gawker Media, paid $5,000 to obtain a next-generation iPhone that an unfortunate Apple engineer left sitting in a Silicon Valley bar, things started to get ugly out there in gadget land. "
This means that whoever came across the item, sought monetary gain to spill secrets that a company wished to keep confidential until announcement, which the company (and any company for that matter) has a right to take action against if they wish. As a result, the journalist who was sold the item not only had the item taken away, but also rightfully had his other electronics confiscated as he might have placed in them artifacts pertaining to details about this iPhone that Apple did not want to be made public.
I don't care if Apple is "evil" or not, but when people use THAT as a basis as to why something is wrong, and then bother to ignore the intricate details surrounding it, it makes me wish that bias did not exist so that people could actually think about things.

Posted 13 years agoWe bought this turntable at Kohl's over the weekend. It's got the ability to convert vinyl records into mp3 files. It's mainly going to be used to transfer mom's old collection onto burnable CDs. It's really awesome because it even records all the crackles and pops from the vinyl so it sounds very authentic. I'm going to have fun with this project. :3
Awesome
