that can scramble an egg while its still inside its shell... presumably without the use of a needle... I am sorry you want to point an ultrasonic what at my what?!
I only uses the card as a debit card at Barnes and Noble and at Costco. Someone duped my card and did max withdrawals over a period of 4 days, using a series of ATMs at Chase banks in Southern California. My bank replaced the funds within days. Got police reports started immediately but haven't heard a peep from the SoCal police. Freaking annoying and makes me want to go Gordon Freeman on the thieves with a crowbar. Your mileage with your banks Customer Service may vary.
It can be better, faster, hotter, smaller, sexier, but it will not be accepted by the consumer world outside of the Slashdot audience and not "rival" Apple in measurable financial way. Not trolling here, just the honest truth - general public doesn't care if something is "better" - anything associated with Apple has immediate press and street cred, and anything containing the word Linux has immediate press and street stigma. Sad really.
into that equation? I am sure some statistics can be made up about pirated media converting into incremental sales that otherwise would not have happened. What about media that got advertised because it was pirated, what was the ROI on that vs the insane rates legitimate advertisers charge? Quantify!
It looks like something that a six year old would draw, and the comments that come with it are pretty detached from reality. Stick to designing clothes for giant robots and vampires with multiple prehensile penises.
I would hate everyone to know that according to my Census questionnaire I have a 30 member strong tribe of Bantu speaking Inuit whalers living in my home.
This thing becomes a collectors item worth more than the original proc, and people start going nuts on ebay over these, and then some company in China will make knock offs of the knock offs selling the fakes as the REEL ORIGENAL NEWEGGG FAKES.
How much extra money should I give up in taxes and how many more personal freedoms should I relinquish before my government will make me feel safe?!?!?!?
Even if US somehow blocked EVERY country that is even remotely threatening, the attacks can come from within the US from the hundreds of thousands of compromised bots controlled through proxies or simply carrying out coordinated sleeper code planted in advance.
The PKing by toons with names like L3ftNutz and R1teNutz, who were using macros, auto heals, auto target, etc, and exploiting (having homes and castles broken into and looted/defiled) was the final straw for me and my guild. When EQ came out we all migrated within weeks. Garriot created an amazing universe, the Internet filled it with cheating sploiting ftards, and the PVP environment forced you to interact with them. As far as UO vs EQ in terms of immersion, I still remember making my first run from Qeynos to Freeport, running through West Karana in the rain and watching a Hill Giant emerge from the fog - I shit you not I got goosebumps when that happened!
Apple is Subsidizing, it is naive to say otherwise, the traffic to their site is drawn by their brand they paid for that, just like they pay for the bandwidth, they paid to make the site, they pay people to upkeep the site, etc... In the real world these things have a tangible cost and sub sequentially a tangible value, and Apple should not have to provide advertising space and opportunities for anyone but themselves. I am not saying its right or wrong but its business.

Microsoft is able to narc on you better if you are a Premium customer, so the more you pay them the more they compromise your privacy!
