With the "positive anymore," [O] you can say:

"Anymore, nobody at Apple cares"

I remember when I moved from the northeast and heard the positive anymore for the first time. I assumed the speaker was just somewhat dim, or maybe suffering from a minor stroke.

It turns out this is an established construction if you venture away from the west and best coasts...

Weird, I've never heard this either and I grew up in Michigan (not quite "positive anymore" territory according to Wikipedia, but certainly in the neighborhood).

I believe it, I'm just always pleasantly surprised to learn about common things that everyone but me seems to have known about.

Typo, editorialising, or both?
