It seems like Amazon equates off-contract with prepaid. Try searching for unlocked phones and the Galaxy S5 ($589) is number 6 on the top sellers.

Actually, Fire Phone is a great name the phone because if it catches fire but with a battery defect that causes it to catch on fire it will be too difficult to write headlines like Amazon CEO fired for Fire Phone fires that no one will be fired since no one will understand what's going on.
Doc Brown: No wonder this car failed. It says "Made in China".
Marty McFly: What do you mean, Doc? All the best stuff is made in China.
Doc Brown: Unbelievable.
A clearer statement than "we took our plaques off our wall" is needed, but assuming there is a clear statement from Tesla that they will only use these patents defensively, anyone who takes them at their word should be safe.
Telsa should have the CEO publicly post such a statement where Tesla will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use their technology. This will be quickly picked up by tech blogs and linked to the statement.
No one wants to use Linux or Windows. Have you tried to use an operating system? All you can do is copy files and set the time. It's fun the first few times, but it becomes boring really fast. No, people do not want to use an operating system; they want send email, browser the web, check stock quotes, send goofy pictures to their friends. That's what they want.
I think the reality distortion field must have hit you pretty hard. Apple has been accused of producing expensive crap ever since the Lisa and Macintosh were sold. Apple has never been a big proponent of free or open standards; they have been using propriety standards for Macs, iPods, and iPhones since their creations. While Steve Jobs did write the open letter for the music industry to stop requiring DRM, he was also criticized for doing nothing for movies (especially since he owned Pixar at the time).
I have recompiled all my software from the source code and verified that the binaries match but for some reason there's a Ken Thompson user that is always logged in. How did Ken Thompson get into my system and how do I get rid of him?
Wrong, capitalism is the most efficient system ever devised for creating wealth not the best system ever devised for creating wealth. Best is a qualitative term and can not be measured subjectively.
This should come as no surprise to anyone. Jobs says the problem with tablets is no one wants to handwritten input. He later builds a tablet that does not use handwritten inputs; it sells well and people are not asking to write on it.
I got a $100 dock for my ipad. It's an okayish $800 alarm clock now. But since the app can't run with the screen off and such, I have to leave the screen and dock on the whole night. If either go to sleep, the alarm doesn't go off. So I have my regular alarm clock as my "it's REALLY time to get up" set about half an hour after my ipad is due to start my wakeup playlist.
Totally worth the money..
I know exactly what you're saying. I bought a BMW 750li a couple weeks ago. It's sitting in the garage right now. I don't drive it at all but I do hang my clothes to dry on the grab rails. The rails are not that large so I can't hang too many clothes. I just don't understand why doesn't BMW make the rails larger so I hang more clothes and make better use of the car.
We're approaching the point where most people who want them, already have them.
Most people who want one at the current price, already have one. As with other devices, competition, economies of scale, and market saturation will lower the cost. It won't be long before we see an iPad mini with fewer features for a lower price (or an iPad maxi with more features and the current iPad sold at a lower price). As with the iPod and iPhone, this will expand the market. I don't know if Apple can still sell at the current rate but the potential is there.

Apple sent you a text via iMessage but you probably did not receive it.
"I agree, having a manual break should be required as a bare minimum."
A manual brake would be even more useful, along with a kill switch for the engine.
No, a manual break, such as sledgehammer to the wheel or knife to the tire, will work just fine.
There are no good technology conferences, my friend.

I glad that US government has finally approved sharper images. Hopefully, this increase the availability of ionic breezes for everyone.

Perhaps if they posted about their product on well know tech blogs with links to contribute then maybe it will work.
Look what happened to polio culture. Not cool, man. Not cool.
I would not worry about it. With the right environment, you can always grow polio culture.
An "anonymous reader" submitted this? Yeah right. You're not fooling anybody, CleverNickName.
That sounds very cool.

I have no clue what you're trying to say but now I'm hungry.
Are you saying that 300K for a house is cheap or expensive? Honestly, I can't tell.

The glass side is the butter side since the iPad always lands glass-side down.

After that, I started holding laptops exactly like that, making people cringe. True story.
Correlation is not causation. I think you need to perform a few studies to prove that you caused people to cringe.
If I could have only one Dell device, what would it be? None, I'd return it and give the money back to the shareholders.
$120 a month to look at a picture of what you're already looking at through the windshield?
