Silicon Valley companies are really interesting sometimes for entertainment value mostly. I doubt we are going to see any great progress coming out of that place - except maybe more spying and the like.
I don't know if you noticed those badges the drones there usually carry with a phone number, where you can report "inappropriate conduct". For some reason I had this image in my mind about someone calling to ask if it was okay to eat a ham sandwich, if one of your colleagues was a muslim and those people operating those phone lines would then have morning standups, where they would discuss such important issues.
So I was minding my own business one day doing what I do and suddenly get called upon by the big man to explain why I was a jew hater. Apparently someone had picked up that I had made a comment about jews at some point. I may or may not have made a sarcastic joke about some news story involving one or two jews. No idea, but being a bit autistic and odd person in general, that may have happened. Its not like I burned a Quran or something like that, but...
I made an attempt at explaining how that didn't make any sense, since I was a jew myself and had even lived in Israel as a child. Apparently that didn't really make a difference. The machinery had been set in motion and I had been stamped as incompatible with Apple values. I tend to agree with that..
