that’s a shame, I thought Management’s theory of “just a stern talking to” was a likely outcome but nope, Apple still pretty anal about marketing
I think flagrantly breaking Apple's confidentiality and no-filming rules is more fire-worthy than any accidental fuckup

in pretty much any company with with industrial espionage/confidentiality rules this would at least be a serious disciplinary offence, right?

the guy was sitting opposite her at the table watching her film, i'm not sure how he thought this would go down. maybe his daughter's youtube career takes precedence over his own? or maybe he was tasked with testing itunes for windows with the x and just wanted an efficient way to end his suffering

break an NDA, it’s not surprising you get canned. people that are given development units agree to a whole host of rules about what they can’t do with the device, and demonstrating them to the public (such as a YouTube video) is very much outside the scope of what they can do. remember, this guy was showing off a prototype with unreleased software.

I thought Apple would go easier on him but I guess I was wrong. in retrospect breaking an nda is a pretty bad decision, it’s not like this was an accident.

Apple won’t sell iPhones at launch without activating them to a major wireless carrier. Nor will the major wireless carriers sell without activating them on their network. After it’s not supply constrained Apple will sell “unlocked” phones without activating them.

Apple generally charges the same base price everywhere. on top of that are taxes and other fees your country requires but that don’t go to Apple. sales tax in the US is between 0 and 10 percent depending on the state, so the price varies by that much. you probably have a steeper VAT than that.

yeah i know, especially with our vat being 21% now, and at least 18% for forever. just saying how much it means to a normal latvian person with a more tangible reference point

the price itself is not a surprise in the slightest

the same base price using their choice of exchange, and then rounded up to the nearest hundred or so

so i went to the apple store for the first time in a while the other day and it's devolved into a total poo poo show

they seem to have ditched the genius bar, and all the tables are now used to teach geriatrics how to use iphoto

(👴: EXCUSE ME ARE YOU HERE FOR THE CLASS? THESE TABLES ARE FOR THE CLASS)

there's some... cubes?

and you can sit on those, no classes in the uncomfortable cube area

so you end up wandering around looking for a blueshirt who isn't trying to upsell soccer moms on a macbook bro to use for facebook to "check you in" because again, there's no literal genius bar.

then you sit on a cube, then someone comes to take your iphone in the back for an hour to gentle caress it replace the battery and the whole business gets repeated when you return
