2018-09-26 at 10:56 PM UTCThe bay area had 3 Apple Stores hit in the past few months of smash,grab and run robberies.
One of them got tackled today in Emeryville (North West Oakland) on the bay street mall (cool little Mediterranean theme mall)
OAKLAND (KRON) - KRON4 has confirmed that there have been several arrests made in Oakland in connection with dozens of Apple store thefts in and around the Bay Area.
Officers made the arrests Tuesday night, according to a KRON4 source.
Emeryville and Santa Rosa are the most recent stores to be hit by the grab and run thieves.
On Sunday at the store located in the Santa Rosa Plaza, thieves stole $35,000 worth of electronics.
Then on Tuesday at the store located at 5640 Bay Street in Emeryville, about eight people grabbed an unknown amount of products and ran.
I was just dropping off a lady at the other Apple Store near this one in Berkeley on 4th. Said "I hope this store doesn't get hit as well"
didn't think about the Bay Street mall getting hit.
who knows.. 4th almost certainly would of been next on the list. Walnut Creek's Apple store got hit too. You know. Walnut Creek.

Apple charge massively excessive money for their crap though, as is proven by their accumulation of cash that they don't know what to do with. I guess the new CEO is too busy sucking dick to do anything clever or risky.

2018-09-27 at 3:43 AM UTCyeah, a decent original fabric line cord from Ma Bell was probably 135 bucks. which is easily 1200 in todays money.
a decent rotor phone was very expensive. I think Radio Shack or Sears started to make the first cat3 clip in lines in the late 1960s. the phones were cheaper. Probably 30-35 bucks?
I don't have an old catalog but the first phones were rent until owned. monthly charge of like 5 bucks until the 130 plus was paid off.
Considering it was around the time I was a baby, I have no idea where I learned this from. except It was confirmed when I spoke about it in a Radio Shack at one time. Something Momma or Pops said that stuck.
We rent this phone.. you break it you'll pay for it with your ass.
Which meant an ass whooping.. I think. -

Why should enterprises care about intent-based networking? | Tech Talk Ep 1,...
Think you've got a high phone bill? Consider this: AT&T has charged an 82-year-old widow $14,000 in "rent" for use of its rotary phones over the last 42 years. What's next, kicking orphans into the street?

agreed. however, the one Apple product I purchased was an iPod Nano 4th generation and it did last a very long time and worked very well for me. -
