CEO Tim Cook: Apple retail stores are 'like Prozac' to me

Inachu
WTF?

I visited an apple stores redently this week and did not like what I saw.

A. No register at all.

B. No focus at all to where to purchase hardware for my ipad.

All employees walking around like bees telling me a tech will be with me shortly even though they all had hand held devices and went walking about. The store was super crowded and looked like nobody was getting service at all and all employees taken so that a wait time would be at least 10-20 minutes before I could leave.

So in utter frustration I left the apple store and went to the Best Buy express store that only had 2 customers and I was served under 2 minutes and left the store under 5 minutes.

Thank you Best Buy for keeping your registers.

Security audit finds dev outsourced his job to China to goof off at work

I have a very rich chinese friend from Beijing who still thinks like a person from Mainland China but has been a US citizen for over 30 years and she posted a similar reply to an instance such as this.

BAck when clinton was in charge many said Clinton ran the country very well durring the zippoer issue.

Her main comment about the issue was. Since he ran the country so well durring the zipper issue shouldn't we then give him more girls for an even better economy?

So I chuckle when I read this article and thought of the above when I read this.

The point that needs to be asked. Was anyone harmed? Was profit being made?

If no harm and profit was being made then so what!!!!

But I myself would love to fire him for doing no work at all.

As much as I love Windows.

As much as I am a Microsoft Windows diehard fan, I do think there is a bit of too much testosterone at Microsoft and I think putting a woman in charge to make sure that Windows 9 has a ladies touch to it.

Seriously! What would Windows look like if a woman was in charge?

I do not think it could get any worse.

TiVo takes on Cisco in patent knock down

Paging all Tivo owners!

Hey guys nice article but to your commentors who own a Tivo. I know what a DVR and time shifting is but I never operated one. By owning a Tivo is it like netflix and must pay monthly charges? Or is it just like a VCR you buy once and record to your lil hearts fancy?

I would love to own a Tivo but not if I have to pay monthly payments. For that I call it a rip off if true.

Paging all Dexter(the serial killer) fans.

Inachu
Meh

The details.

Let me take this info like a knife and cut it up bit per bit for the truth that it is.

What has happened to me and my IP(intellectual property)character.

For the record. I posted at an online forum dedicated to new TV show ideas.

I posted about a serial killer who kills other serial killers. A good serial killer VS bad serial killers. That is as basic as I made it on the online forum. Everythign else about what Jeff took and redressed it as his own is his own doing. Such as calling the serial killer Dexter.

What similar case in legal history has this happened to?

Mastercard priceless campaign. They took the idea of the pricless pictures from 2 guys who made it famous and copyrighted it. So yes Master Card legally stole information and made money off of it when it was someone elses Idea. Someone else created it. By using the legal system they stole. Is that Justice? Is it fair to use the legal system in this fashion?

Was the courts and is/should the courts be used to rip people off just by calling it business?

Is that right moral and fair? Were the 2 guys EVER compensated or at least given a pat on the back for their efforts making PRICELESS famous?

The only thing different between me and the 2 guys who created priceless was that their idea was already famous. My character was not famous. It was my own twisted creation that took well over 25 years in the making thanks to an abusive father.

Now who should you believe and trust? I am willing to take a polygraph but if I am given a polygraph then I demand that Jeff Lindsay also be given a polygraph and be given tough questions created by me and if he fails then all court costs are to be made by him and all punative damages and awards I want to be given to charity to victims of child abuse.

I even told him online at the forum where I gave birth of teh character that this is NEVER about money. Just recognition.

Again I say to Jeff Lindsay. SHAME ON YOU! Man up and tell the truth!

'IT is no place for the little ladies', says Dell mouthpiece

Inachu
WTF?

As much as I like equal opportunity in the workplace.

Do not do it by walking on my back.

By that I mean the following. Be you male or female when you are certified to do your job as it is now YOUR JOB. Do not make me do your job for you.

You need to setup a server? Good great good for you. You build it. You carry it and you place it in the rack server. Unable to lift the server?

Hey go join a gym and get strong! Stop calling me to lift YOUR server. When you can lift your own server placing it in the rack then I will call it equal job oppotunity.

If you are unable to do your job you were hired to do then you need to be fired. Simple as that.

BAck to the root canal issue.

Dammit! lost the Url just google it or something. No need for a root canal if you can afford what I mentioned above.

This does not look good.

I am afraid todays computer games will take notice of IOS type of games.

A good example will be:

Oh you want to drive faster than 55mph then that will cost you 100 virtual gold coins which you can purchase at our company store.

Oh special silver virtual paint job on your car that will be 29 virtual gold coins which you can purchase at our website. Oh to use the real fancy ramps and fly through air to the other side will cost you another 200 virtual gold. Then I bet the game will be tied into the cloud somehow so that if the servers crash you lose everything you ever bought for that game title.

I did call and was 8 years too late and they put that "IF YOU READ THIS" as a way to hire their programmers.

I loved scanning all floppies to see if there were any secret messages like that.

I went into a music store and their c-64 was broekn or so they said it was.

They could not get the midi sampler to run after all the times they typed in Load" "8,1 or whatever

I rebooted the c-64 then remembered the loadign sequence and then typed in the poke codes to activate the program that was loaded into memory and just as I hit enter and the screen cleared a manager yelled "HEY!!! DON'T TOUCH THAT ITS BROKEN!" My mom was in the shopping mall hallway when she heard the manager scream at me.

Mom- Did my son do something wrong?

Just then the load finnished and it started working.

The managers eyes lit up with a smile -WHat did you do?!?!

I mention the poke codes to activate the program and gave them to her.

Manager to my mom - Oh your son fixed it!

Manager paid for my ice cream cone. I was 13 years old when that happend.

Weird interview questions

OhhOhh!

I went to interview at a japanese pharmaceuticle. Somehow the topic went to raisins. Shady memory but I think she offered a box durring interview. Durring interview she mentioned that raisin in japanese means nipple....... I felt kindy giddy at that point and flustered why she hasn't asked more about my job duties.

Ages ago a job interviewer some good ole chap one could happily get drunk with and tell great tales with was telling me anecdotes of the bank industry hiring process durring my interview.

He spoke how they wanted to hire an African American. Well turned out they hired a very pretty blonde from Africa and They could not say no to her because she was born in Africa and she met the qualitifications of being African American and she even spoke Swahili or how ever you spell it. I giggled and got the job.

Rogue IT employees - give us the down and dirty

Re: Rogue IT employees - give us the down and dirty

I worked at a Mental Health Insurance company (now dead) and the CFO was in charge of the data base. It was a NOVEL 3.11 server and I never ever EVER had any training on ANY novell training so I knew NEVER to touch it and I did not.

In the room was also tape backups that I was required to change time to time.

One day the CFO wanted me in that room for whatever reason regarding the tapes and then He blamed me for losing the entire databse that everyone got locked out of.

Also the IT manager had no certification in IT and I knew more than him but he wanted me to build a few servers using existing pc cases. I built them just fine and compplained the cases were too tight thus making the motherboards bluescreen on boot.

I had a MSCE confirm my findings and the manager did not care and wanted us to make them work anyway.

If you have a CFO that looks like a weirdo on drugs with super messy grey hair and running around with his dress shirt not ironed and always sweaty fire him ASAP! You will thank me in the end. For payment I just ask you give me a beer.

Some women should not apply to IT jobs.

I left that company after the blonde intern stole my ideas as her own and she got the praise at the company meeting instead of me. Lying ans tealing is the female way to get ahead of men and stomping on their shoulders to get ahead.

Next company I was at the women were better mannered but the females who did all the server work had men who were either equally or better certified than them used as slave to pick up the server for them and place them in and plug them in and wire them up for the females.

Look if you can not do your job 100% on your own that you were hired to do then you have no business doing it at all.
