Hmm, What Is Apple Doing?

How many are still doing CS 10 years after graduation? I imagine the burnout rate is pretty high.

I am not familiar with those involved in R&D. I know many who are in their 50s are still in IT profession.

Full audio: Our extended, uncut interview with Apple CEO Tim Cook from Recode.

The uncut interview — in this special episode of Swisher’s Recode Decode podcast — includes new material that didn’t air on TV, such as more on Apple’s education efforts, manufacturing, immigration and Cook’s advice to his younger self.

Apple just made a key hire that could unravel the mystery of its content strategy

Oliver Schusser will be the new vice president of Apple Music and international content. He’ll split his time between Apple’s Cupertino headquarters and Culver City, California, where many TV shows and movies are filmed, according to Variety, which earlier reported details of Schusser’s appointment. Variety also reports that Schusser was key in Apple’s acquisition of Shazam, which uses algorithms to identify music.

Finally a little more clarity on content strategy.

Tech news from Pakistan? Founded in 2014?

The scale at which Apple buys OLED displays gives it the bargaining power to demand better prices from Samsung but keeping in view how clever those Koreans are Apple may finally have to beg for a price cut.

IQ of UCLA alumni is very low. Author is conjecturing just like a certain UCLA business major.

@sfdragonboy is scouting around the world for negative news on apple.

Is ok if he had read it first and did some critical thinking rather than mindlessly posting them. Now, he behaves like a headless chicken running around.

Speaking of Samsung, they are not doing too well lately.

It’s funny that Samsung is going to punish the employees who sold the stocks given. No mention of the guy who made the fat finger mistake in the first place.

hanera · April 12, 2018, 8:13pm

Sound more like Samsung is begging Apple not to hard bargain too low a price

sfdragonboy · April 12, 2018, 8:24pm

I didn’t write the article…

Shoot, I didn’t post this pathetic move by almighty Apple did I??? (until you made me…)

Now you understand why WB loves AAPL so much No founders giving themselves $B of RSUs and no super dilutive compensation.

marcus335 · April 13, 2018, 2:18am

Does Bloomberg really not understand employee vs founder equity compensation?

marcus, you need to control your junior.

Working for Apple is no fun. #SiriSucks

Are you a business major from UCLA?

harriet · April 14, 2018, 3:06am

How do you know he’s a business major and not anthropology?

manch · April 14, 2018, 3:07am

What’s wrong with women studies?
