apple clearly isn't the only company to do this and it is certainly fine by law and professional ethics. That being said, professional ethics and tax law don't define what is good or what ought to happen and I feel that articles couched in that way kind of miss the point. the point seems to be that this example might provide a good vehicle to consider whether we should change things so that the wealthiest corporation pays appropriately for access to us markets, IP protections, and workers.

anywho i'll shut up now

is the macintoshOperatingSystem's context menu a piece of poo poo like windows'?

not that i've noticed but how do you mean

the fact that 1st and 3rd party programs create entries for themselves willy-nilly. they're useful about 1/3rd of the time and i don't like having to janitor my menus.

does tim just make it harder to alter the context menu? or are mac app writers just less annoying?

i think the only way you can get something in there is to create a service, but those go in a sub menu and you can show or hide them in system preferences

It's going to sound like a Dyson hand dryer but there's no reason it can't handle 100% load with the amount of heatsink they crammed in there. The lack of expansion sucks for "power users" but they're trying to keep people out of the guts of thing and rely on customer-friendly external expansion and yall are whiny nerds about it

there are a lot of ads for the iphone x on hulu. like back to back. I think that's a bad sign for its sales

also one commercial focuses entirely on singing animojis
