Just because Liquor's dead, doesn't mean you can just roll this bitch all over town with "The Freedoms."


 That Iranian could have used their new iPad to launch nukes aimed at the United States. Good looking out, Apple employee.

Haha "But this new weapon is twenty times the size of earlier cyberbombs and far more powerful".

I have created an LUA cyberbomb. WARNING! Please do not compile and drop this cyberbomb.

This puts it quite simple: take a potential fine for 250k and 5 years imprisonment for selling a stupid $500 tablet as a sales man, corporate gets their own fine or telling someone no because the government can't tell you how to discriminate without being a racist

It's dumb since it's just an expensive toy and not the plans to make a nuke or whatever but it's the law I guess.

There's an app for that.

"There is absolutely no U.S. policy or law that would prohibit Apple or any other company from selling its products in the United States to anyone intending to use the product in the United States, including Iranians and Persian-speakers," said Pooja Jhunjhunwala, a spokesperson for the U.S. State Department.

If the person buying the product indicated they were planning to export the product to Iran then yes, they are violating the embargo. The person in question was buying an ipad to send to their cousin in Iran so the employees actions are justified unless Apple legal is available for every sales person 24/7


From the same article I linked:

quote:

In the case of Sahar Sabet, from the WSBTV report, who was refused purchase of an iPad at an Apple store in Alpharetta, Ga., some of the facts are unclear. She said the clerk refused to sell her an iPad after hearing her speak Farsi with her uncle. The iPad was intended as a gift for her cousin in Iran, according to the report, but it was unclear how or if the clerk was aware of that.
