Rich person = political pull = call to local government = cop's boss makes sure they respond to the threat against rich person.
Poor people probably get some response as most cops are in the business to help people, but I would imagine statistically, wealthy people are more likely to get immediate response and followup.
No need for mod points. Pretty sure GGP is NOT talking about librarians in referencing 6 figure salaries, but rather prison guards and other unions who have powerful lobbies, which plainly libraries do not.
In a presentation to market analysts, ATT said this purchase would increase average revenue per user, decrease churn, and improve margins. In other words, they will take more money from each of us, we will be less likely (able?) to switch to another carrier, and they will see more profit from each of us.
None of those give any hint of benefit to the customer. If ATT is brazenly presenting these facts to wallstreet in a public fashion prior to the merger, they must feel their lubricating lobbying activities have the plan on greased rails for approval.
The usual voir dire questions, state your name, occupation etc. Then they ask you a couple questions, i.e. are you related to anyone in law enforcement, etc.
THere were a few wives, brothers etc.. of police officers. Prosecution and defense both asked them some additional questions regarding ability to be impartial etc., but then dismissed them.
One guy stated he was an engineer. Prosecutor immediately dismissed him with no questioning whatsoever.
Ended up being obvious why, the case against he kid was really full of holes, but still.
The HP is good hardware. But the questions is, do more tablet customers prefer 20% more processing power etc., or do more prefer thinner and lighter weight?
Your definition of superior is only one, and may not be the same as the majority of buyers.
True until you get up to the point where you are dealing in the outputs of whole factories. If Samsung knows Apple's order keeps one of their flash fabs 90% busy for the next year guaranteed, there is probably a price break there as well.
Pretty much everyone I know who uses hand tools frequently has preferences for the better designed brands. So I'd disagree. Even screwdrivers can be crappy or good if your using one for a couple hours at a stretch. Not just talking about it being awkward or breaking easily, talking about how the grip is designed, whether it is cushioned or not, etc.
If most people only used tablets for 5 minutes every couple of months, they wouldn't care about them any more than hammers.
The second thing they did was try their best to put all non-Apple Macintosh repair shops out of business, and then open the Apple Stores once they'd done so.
? The effort to push out non-Apple repair shops has just begun in earnest in the last couple months with their Joint Venture program or whatever it's called. The Apple stores were a response to the complete inability of all their retail partners to market the mac in the way Steve knew it should be marketed, if they did anything at all beyond flopping a few macs on a table in an out-of-the-way display.

They didn't until now. The sensor in the current iphone was from someone else.
So it is your contention that the majority of gamers, and the majority of gaming dollars spent, are in the PC gaming arena, not the consoles?
It isn't operating. It was shutdown automatically during the earthquake 3 weeks ago.
How is it under that rock?
sticks their toy OS on an over-sized smartphone and everyone loves it.
You can really type this sentence and not see the implicit dissonance between the two halves?
You really think it's just an "Apple got lucky" thing?
But they still get that income. They can only stream to the iPad in the home through Time Warner's gateway, i.e. "devices in the home".
This is about a cash grab. Another "my content is making your offering more compelling, so I get the money even though you did the work".
On the bright side, it's happening to Time Warner.
I believe Nikon makes the optics used in the process, and they were also hit pretty hard by this, as was Panasonic.

Last jury I sat on this happened:

They may be trying to discourage people from ditching their landlines.
Terrorists won't bomb a solar plant.
They'll dump radioactive material into the water supply instead.
The iPhone antenna is worse than that particular HTC
You were canning it wrong.
the 96kHz ones apple has started selling for some artists surpass CD quality, despite the compression.
If you are saying apple is selling hi rez (24/96)music on iTunes, what artist are they doing that for? First I'd heard of it.
If you're saying AAC at higher bit rate is somehow better than standard 16 bit 44KHz PCM, you're full of it.
Let's just ignore that bit at the end where it proclaims liberty and justice for all, and proclaim it an evil oath.
Barnes and Noble is looking to make the bulk of their profit in eBooks. Samsung is not.

Well both. This is a joint South African/British endeavor.
Imagine a beo . . oh I'll stop.

As noted below, don't point to a graphic labeled "smartphone" share and then declare "largest mobile OS" based on that.
What are you talking about? That was only for the ipod touch. iPhone iOS upgrades have all been free.
Are you comparing to Android or Apple there? Same is true for iphones.
