[QUOTE=fruxodaily;37221458]I'd love an apple store in Brisbane, everywhere I go is only certified sellers not a big apple house. Apple products are neat, I love the design and the OS but the price is high for they sell. I understand apple is a huge patient troll but honestly what they make has changed the industry in some way. -- Without the iPhone, the standard for touch screen phones would be really different, same goes for tablets, don't deny it, it'd take us a while to get to now without them.[/QUOTE]
Brisbane, Australia? If I recall correctly, there's an Apple Store at Chermside.
Maybe these layoffs are because those people haven't devoted and given their soul entirely to Apple.
but I was told big companies create jobs when they get more money each year and such
Forgive my ignorance, but why is it bad/news at all that a couple outlets for a multinational company stop hiring and lay off the new people?

that's weird because that's actually exactly what you're doing
They want to make as much money as possible even if that means tons of their employees will be fired.
I mean they're a corporation,do you really expect them to care about their employees?

This happens in every thread when someone hates on a company and wants it to fall. Let's hope no company ever goes under regardless of anything else simply because they employ people.

good to know you want to punish people based on what, not liking iTunes?
[QUOTE=thisispain;37228020]not liking iTunes?[/QUOTE]
Well what IS there to like about it?
It looks like it's stuck in 2003, but with the resource requirement of something from 2020.
well one thing i like about it is that when you sync using iTunes you don't have to do much management of the actual device
that's about it, i think

You avoided responding to what he said and just criticized his posting in general. Why are you avoiding responding to his post properly?

Plenty of programs that can do that same without being shitty.
Said programs can also be used for all other type of devices that can act as a "USB mass storage" device.
Apple is a big, overstuffed company that only cares about making the next shitty thing, I mean yeah, the iphone is pretty good, but they just keep on doing more and more stupid shit like patenting a slide mechanism to unlock your smartphone.
