Apple Donates $1 Million, iBooks To Rescue Worker Families

Im sorry then to go rush off making assumptions about steve's superficial comments and using the pretext of the bombings to cancel the expo in Paris. I guess this is a move that really makes Apple a caring firm. Nice Job Steve.

If some one should be in one of those towers should be you. For comments as immature like that one is why this things are happening. Try to do better to impruve the image of the “gringo” every body is having out side your country and go help to remove the bodies of the people who took your place. In the mean time shut up.

Hey SNOWMAN why don't you keep that crap to yourself you idiot! You're a disgrace to your country, whatever that may be and I hope that there is a way to keep you from posting here ever again. You disgust me!

Before you guys blast Snowman. LISTEN TO WHAT THE MESSAGE BEHIND HIS POST IS. OK, I Agree that the way he has put is HORRIBLE but he has made a GREAT point that the Taliban destroyed the thousand year old statues of the Buddha sometime ago, yet Muslims say that Islam accepts all religions??? In a harsh sense if Muslim towers were burned in Japan or in Malaysia by Buddhists, it would be simple TIT for TAT.

p.s TO: mymemroy, HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU SAY SOMETHING LIKe, "it is you who should have been in one of those two towers"???

The original post was about Apple's involvement but I guess it has changed.


Religions have been perverted since their creation. They have been used to kill, torture, rape, destroy, and manipulate. Islam isn't the only faith to have radical followers who cause others harm. Insecure religious people are frightened by others' beliefs and sometimes act out violently. These are ignorant, lost people. Religions prey on these people and use them for their own ends. The last thing God/Allah wants is for people to kill in His name.

We will now go to war but we will not kill in the name of God but in defense of our country and our freedom. We will not go to war against a religion but against the Taliban sect that supports this evil terrorism.

I think the US government is doing the right thing right now. No one has moved a finger until they really find out what to do. Lots of ideological movements are called "religions" just to make them "sacred" (or in the US avoid taxes). I think the Taliban may be one, even I know nothing about them, just what the TV says.

I guess everything here fall in to the same place, "world education and mutual understanding". A Mexican dude on TV said "If they (the Taliban) have such good intentions and their philosophy is right, why they don't show us and convince us?" The man had a point; I do not think about a religion base on some one else’s destruction, it is utopist.

Unfortunately it is easy to find people to follow you under those circumstances. That people have nothing and if you give them some hope about something they will follow you blindly. If you got something the other one need, he will follow you. That is the principal of every political campaign. The problem is, who is the leader?

By the way, I think that Apple gave a bit to the cause with an obvious advertising combo technique witch doesn’t seems too appropriated from my point of view. An scholar ship or something like that would be better.

The best thing the US can do now to the terrorist is show them how supported you are with your self. When I see on the news people clapping to the firefighter on the subway station, compensate a lot of the tragedy or people coming from Arkansas just to work for free. The terrorist didn't expect that because the do not know about collaboration a support in a constructive matter. Is like here, we have a military man for president, he is Fidel Castro's best body, and he is destroying everything down here. Some one with a military background should do he stuff when necessary, not to rule. To rule you need an architect or something.

Keeping the topic on Apple, I truly appreciate their generousity of money, yet question their motive behind equipment. These people to compassion and care, not a new hub to their "digital lifestyle."

Seems to be more advertising than help.

I didn't want to say it before but looks something like:

"Hey look, my dady died and I get and iBook"

I can tell the intention from Apple but I guess is not the way.

Can you imagine if Johnson & Johnson do the same?

"Hey, Tampax for every one!!!"

hehehehe.

Ps. I know the discussions are not related with the topics lately but there are so many things to share about this incident, in the US in my country and everywhere. Just imagine, watching on TV the destruction of a structure so familiar to the entire world in such terrible way. Just crashing a plane with people against a mountain it is enough but this went so beyond any human nightmare. I'll be touching the topic very often, I think is ok..
This was not an attack against the US I repeat, it was against normal people.

Hmmm... that was a very mature comment from your side, you hope I burn in hell... nice. You know what, all talibans want the west world to burn in hell, according to their religion all people not within islam must be "removed". They carry out death-penalty against christians because they have unsuitfull propaganda. What do you think about all those palestinians which celebrated the death of all those peoples in the towers then?
I do not want any harm to come to these people, honestly. But their religion sux big time. If I met you face to face and would have to choose to put you in the tower or go there myself, I would die in your place.
