Tonik Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Why does Apple hate motorcycles? Why do riders support them in their quest to destroy motorcycle companies by buying their phones and fattening their warchest? http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/10/19/electric-motorcycle-startup-shutters-after-losing-top-talent-to-apple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do riders support them in their quest to destroy motorcycle companies by buying their phones and fattening their warchest? http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/10/19/electric-motorcycle-startup-shutters-after-losing-top-talent-to-appleThey don't hate motorcycles... On the contrary, they recognize the expertise of those in that industry, apparently. Their quest isn't to destroy motorcycle companies, it's to acquire talent, apparently. Also, I use my phone more than I use my bike. And I own their stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motocat12 Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Just more apple "innovation" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) I dont ( knowingly ) support apple in any way, and this ordeal is just another reason for me to continue my apple-free life. I hear more bitching than praise about friend's/family's apple products, but that could simply mean I tend to stem from, and gravitate towards, generally bitchy people Hence my membership here Edited October 21, 2015 by Hellmutt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 How is the fact that a company's top engineers decided to work for a company that's not on the verge of bankruptcy for more money somehow twisted into Apple killing the company? Did I miss something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motocat12 Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 They had the standard start up plan 1 raise money, 2 raise more money, 3 IPO.After apple plucked many hard to replace employees they had a hard time raising more funds. Big tech companies have bought out smaller companies just to get the employees with clauses that employees stay on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 I was referring more to the hype around this for the past week. Oh. Pretty simple, the press eats up Apple announcements.. Last week or two Apple announce they will have an electric iCar by 2020. Very inventive of them, surprised no one ever thought of an electric car before now.

what Posted October 26, 2015 Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 When apple invents the electric car in 2020, will there be any hipsters left to buy one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 And how will they advertise it? They are blocking ads now in their OS. Another initiative idea that no one has ever done before. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-09-09/apple-s-ad-blocking-feature-is-sending-publishers-scrambling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This^^ I still bitch about Micro$oft and their shitty products I already bitch about Google...they have a psych profile on almost every person in the US. The profile is so complex, information they have is down right scary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motocat12 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Or this way was cheaper than buying out the patents. A bankrupt company can't sue for that or employees dropping trade secrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
