50 employees is too many? (140k per person) 100 employees is too many? (70k per person) * that 140k and 70k include things like healthcare and benefits too, I bet.
I remember reading though a page where they listed their employees and I remember it was 100+, I wanted to include the link in my comment, buy couldn't find it this time.

I would imagine Apple would take it down quite quickly given how they shy away from even the most subtle of controversies. Not to mention it is illegal or near illegal in a lot of locations (e.g. UK).
There are some pretty raunchy apps on the app store - did you see I'd Cap That last summer? The whole app just takes your image and adds some heavily-innuendo-laden text on top. Lots of apps have similar or worse content.
Unless it is an app making light of the holocaust then you aren't really comparing like with like.

If you haven't played cards against humanity, many of the cards run roughshod over subjects that would give network execs heart attacks. From my experience the average CaH session is an order of magnitude more crass than anything on network television.
But the funniest jokes from these cards aren't from potty language, but from the following: We had about 10 players, I read the card. _____. High five bro. Players played what they thought was funny. One person put down the card, "Battlefield amputation" I read it, deadpan. "Battlefield amputation. High five bro.".... And in the course of 5 seconds, we all just realized how wrong that was. One lady laughed for a good…

Ditto. Even if it was just mostly a jab at the stereotypical 'American white male' stereotype, I'm really not fond of people depicting 'minorities' like me (and women) like poor overly sensitive PC types. If anything, it's probably less likely to offend minorities, cause a lot of other countries really aren't so paranoid about being PC like the US is. I mean, there is a fine line between dark humor and offensiveness,…
I don't think the original commenter did anything to depict you as over sensitive, nor were they attempting to speak for anyone else.
Though I admit, I don't actually think the OP's comment was even that bad (like I said, it sounded more like just a jab at the 'white male' creators); but I do see this general trend that I'm talking about a lot, so I figured it might be helpful to bring it up.

They charge more in fees, and also pass on more as cashback/bonuses/prizes to customers. For example, a visa/mastercard might be able to kick back 1~2% for cashback. American Express might be able to go 2~3%. This is also why a lot of places don't accept Amex, the fees are higher and from the vendor's perspective they offer nothing in return. PS - The whole credit card system is too expensive, and inefficient, but th…
AmEx also offers a lot of other benefits for the consumer like lengthier chargeback periods and free extended warranties. They'll provide warranty coverage for a year past the manufacturer's warranty on items purchased with the card for no cost; it's the reason I put all my big ticket electronics purchases on my AmEx.

So they're getting paid less than the going rate, at least the software engineers are. Interesting. Have you considered many of them that are on the payroll might have other jobs and so the volume is to make up for the fact that they're not all 40+ hours full time? I think this is much more complicated than we could first expect

Agreed. My favorite example is the question card "Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's ____." To which my dad played "Leprosy". I still chuckle when I think about it.

If you weren't aware, Family Guy is a fairly popular low-brow humor cartoon TV show. It's in the same category as The Simpsons or South Park.
