I will get one, along with whatever new iPad they announce, for my wife for Christmas. She will get to keep the one she wants and return the other one.
Why doesn't the government just create a new visa program? Say...the HIB Visa. Open to anyone with mAd sKilLz who wants to come to the U.S. and work for the U.S. Government and get its technical shit together?
Should work great. Opens opportunities for deserving brown people around the world (and by around the world, I mean India), and gets the government technical workers for a fraction of market rates - should be win win for everyone.
Yeah, whatever. I have been waiting for six months, on this announcement, to buy an iPad for my wife. I will be pre-ordering whatever they announce as soon as I can.
If you do not want to use the Apple AppStore, you can CHOOSE to buy another phone - no problem.
Apple also has a business model also does not conflict with 3rd party web browsers. It also does not restrict choice to one AppStore.
The Apple business model also does not prevent competing 3rd party apps. For example, Pandora is available on the iPhone, despite the existence of AppleMusic.
Maybe computer manufacturers should be required to sell computers without memory or hard drives, so that people who don't want them can get the computer without them, and buy such things from other vendors.
Apple USED to sell computers this way. I got the VERY LAST unit you could buy without RAM or a Hard Drive, in 1990. I got a Mac IIci in a 0/0 configuration and saved a shit ton of money buying my 170MB HD and 8MB of RAM from a mail-order place.
And yet, they (and Australia) will bitch about higher prices for the same thing elsewhere (presumably PPP adjusted, but may not), to cover the higher costs of selling items, which the govt mandated warranties, return policies, employee benefits, etc.

No it isn't. Even if you have a credit card with a 25% interest rate, you still get a grace period before interest is due and you can pay it off and owe NO interest whatsoever. Nothing usurious about that.
Even so, you can also just as easily use a DEBIT card, avoiding the issue of borrowing money altogether.

Yes, I could. And eliminate all surprise.
I mean, fuck, why not just give her some cash?

How much do your products suck when even the people you pay to use them avoid using them?

And no, I'm not serious.
You ARE a fucking tool.
It will be a Christmas present. Do not need to have it the second it comes out but I do not want to be left holding the bag at Christmas either.

GMAFB!
News for nerds, indeed.

So try again.

Apple has been competing just fine as it was - making billions and billions of dollars per quarter.
And it is absolutely the correct response.
Make it free everywhere but Europe. They can pay for it, since free is considered such a bad deal.
And yet, they (and Australia) will bitch about higher prices for the same thing elsewhere (presumably PPP adjusted, but may not), to cover the higher costs of selling items, which the govt mandated warranties, return policies, employee benefits, etc.
No one owes Wikipedia anything for using it.

So fucking get one that does. There are THOUSANDS to choose from.
Sure. But your taxes are so much higher, so your money can be used to buy shit for other people. No thanks.
Let people define their own lists, so they do not get horrified.
Just create a list of words for which no suggestions will be provided.
Why the fuck would anyone work under these conditions?
I've never worked ANYWHERE with any policy other than "You get X amount of time off, when you take it is up to you - pretty much."
My current company gives everyone a month of PTO - and you have the option to buy another week. We're hiring, 3 devs, right now.
No it isn't. Even if you have a credit card with a 25% interest rate, you still get a grace period before interest is due and you can pay it off and owe NO interest whatsoever. Nothing usurious about that.

Sounds like he is full of shit.
They must like it since they donâ(TM)t go elsewhere.
Not even close.
Give them all $50/hr, and watch them CONTINUE to bitch, about how their taxes increase or whatever else.
Donâ(TM)t call me, I will call you.
If you get a call from ANYBODY claiming whatever, hang up and call that supposed somebody at a known good number. Every time.
