An unpleasant incident happened last week in the Australian Apple Store, in which security refused to let three black students from Sudan and Somalia enter. Supposedly because they might steal something. Apple immediately apologized and CEO Tim Cook promised to make amends.
A video that appeared on Twitter drew attention to the problem. It shows a security guard interviewing a trio of teenagers who were denied entry to the Melbourne Apple Store on suspicion of stealing and asked to leave.
Apple apologized for the behavior of its employees, drew attention to its core values such as inclusion and diversity, and Tim Cook subsequently responded to the whole situation. Apple's boss sent out an email calling the security guard's behavior "unacceptable."
So these men who work @ the Apple Store, refused to let in Somali/Sudanese students in. Racially discriminating against them pic.twitter.com/yomYNpSpCg

"What people saw and heard on that video does not represent our values. It's not a message we ever want to deliver to customers or hear ourselves," wrote Cook, who was certainly not happy with how the incident unfolded, but noted that all employees had already apologized to the affected students.
“Apple is open. Our stores and our hearts are open to all people, regardless of race, creed, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, income, language or opinion," said Cook, who believes this was an isolated incident. Nevertheless, he would like to use it as another opportunity to learn and improve.
“Respect for our customers is at the core of everything we do at Apple. This is why we put such care into the design of our products. This is why we make our stores beautiful and inviting. It's why we're committed to enriching people's lives," Cook added, thanking everyone for their commitment to Apple and its values.
These are empty phrases again. Inclusion, diversity, our values… these drools are pouring out of the media daily. Butt climbing has no boundaries. What is the next deviation that will become acceptable and even welcomed? Zoophilia? Pedophilia? After all, it was great fun in ancient Rome. Cook is based on values, and at the same time his homoclady is completely against them, against Christian values. Likewise, restricting Apple is anti-diversity.
Against Christian values? So suddenly the words about love and tolerance no longer apply? What kind of ridiculous interpretation is that?
No, is it simple enough? Homosexuality is against any religious pretensions.
Said who? You as a poor, complex person who has a Nazi-oriented company in his name?
Can you argue factually or just be mean and speak vulgarly to others? You are the only one who comes off as a complex poor person. You are a complete argument titan ha ha ha. And besides, you're a fool. That company is Thor Steinar not Thor Stein. You got pretty embarrassed. You don't even know the name of the company, how can I discuss with you? :D
If a man sleeps with a man as with a woman, both commit an abomination; they must die, their blood be upon them.
Leviticus 3:20,13
E.g. wiki, topic homosexuality and religion.
That wasn't the point at all. I know it's Steinar, but please don't explain how you weren't inspired by this name at all. Is it just a pure and complete coincidence that you have a nickname where only two vowels are omitted from the Nack company? :)
Otherwise, a nice interpretation. Does this also happen in churches? This is also the love and tolerance where you have to love your neighbor as yourself, where you don't kill? Is the pope saying this too?
You don't say what it was or wasn't inspired by, it's none of your business. You know a fart and you're just trying to save it.
I sincerely do not care what is preached there, it is a statement, homosexuality is against most religions. What don't you understand about that? Go to the church to solve it. And write to the Pope. He will answer it for you.
In our country, they didn't let Hnědočechy go to Albert Hnědočechy in the summer in only shorts because they were afraid that they would steal there. (they went for the fifth time in a row). The misfits dragged the summoned security guard (a bespectacled student) into a circle in front of the store and started to punch him. In that, the visitors from Iron Sparta appeared from around the corner. The student was shoved into the store and the unadaptable Hnědočechy was flattened within a minute and left. The brown Czechs were rolling on the ground, they didn't want to go to Albert anymore and nobody apologized to anybody.
point? parallel? something subliminal what should we have guessed?
Who the fuck has the posts?
"It's why we put so much care into the design of our products." - They might as well put the same amount of care into software and testing it before releasing it to people. Although iOS 9 is better compared to iOS 8, there is still room for improvement. In addition, if they are no longer afraid to talk about 25k for a phone, then the quality should correspond to the price, not only the hw and its design, but also the software and its highest possible error-free and debugging.
PS: I know it's not related to the article, but after reading the quoted thing I just had to write it.
