  1. Re:I am fine with 16gb. on Apple's 16GB IPhone 6S Is a Serious Strategic Mistake · · Score: 1

    People that buy smart phones expect to do other things with their pricey devices.

    Except for the dozens of people and the hundreds of their family members, who are being represented in many posts on this exact topic that do not expect to do other things.

    I am deeply disappointed.

    I was sure we were going to get a "Zombies are for cows. Mooo, moooooooooo zombie cows." line in there somewhere.

  3. Re:Not the only factor? on Apple's 16GB IPhone 6S Is a Serious Strategic Mistake · · Score: 1

    Except that some people just like the iPhone. I know it's hard to believe, but some people have opinions that are different than yours. They feel it is worth a higher price to buy a more expensive car, or suit, or house, or smartphone. Not because it will be cost effective five years from now, but because that is what they prefer.

    How many posts are we going to have to wade through that make the same, rather immature, response?

    Most of the US population doesn't care what the Constitution protects or prohibits. Why should the government be any different?

    The really funny commercials are for cars. It shows a car driving calmly down the road, and the small print says: "Professional driver on a closed course. Do not attempt."

    Don't attempt what? Driving down the road? Isn't that what the car is for?

    Maybe the Sony phone thing is the same level of CYA boilerplate from lawyers.

    Fool! You think these scientists haven't thought of that? Of course they have.

    The interesting part is that it still captures what the left hand is doing. Some weird entanglement issue, I believe.

  17. Re:Why the hate? on Rupert Murdoch Buys National Geographic Magazine · · Score: 0

    Ok, good to hear you have personally seen this. The 'college professor' part was because I assumed (I know, I know) you were younger because of your nickname. It just seems like one a college student would have chosen in 2008. I'll admit I guessed wrong. The "something you heard from a college professor" is because I meet many people who simply repeat things their professors hammered into their brains, but the person hasn't done any individual thinking on the subject beyond that. As I said, it's good to hear a personally determined viewpoint.

    As for me, I didn't have the money for college when I finished high school 25 years ago, but had a few classes and other courses during and after my military term.

    And, no, I don't read the WSJ because I'm not that much interested in finance or corporate business. Some of my customers do read it, so I'm not belittling the papers or its readers, it just isn't for me.

    Thanks for the reply.

    That's why the store shelves get stripped bare whenever there's a storm. And why so many idiots cry about "price gouging". If they had simply spent some of their beer/weed money on basic supplies, they wouldn't have to worry about price gouging.

    When the WSJ was sold the bias of the paper shifted not-so-subtly to the right.

    You faithfully read it 'before' and 'after' to state that definitely? Or are you just repeating something you heard from a college professor?

    Send it to Microsoft's Public Relations Manager. First tie it to a brick, and aim real high for his office window.
