You are assuming the cost doubling is just the labor portion. I'm pretty sure they are saying the entire cost including labor, will MORE than double, because, in the US, you can't work people for less than $17 per day, as is reported the case with Foxconn assembly workers. Add to that, the extensive research that points to a lack of available workforce in the US capable of working these jobs, and you have lost of financial problems. iPads reportedly take over 300 people and 5+ days to assemble, test and prepare for your use, each.
Touch disease, referred to in their internal documents as cha-ching-itis. Just two years you say... the standard length of time people will pay on an iPhone before they get a new one historically.
Indeed. I mean, the last time I had a Big Mac Attack, I was shocked at the price of Big Macs... but this... a Big Hack Attack is not nearly as pricey as I would have imagined it to be.
Except that you can't put any hardware in there... unless you are willing to live with issues, lack of support and lack of features. Co-worker bought a run-of-the-mill GTX 980 to replace his Mac-Edition GTX (which worked flawlessly) and he's had many issues with the 980, the least of which is that he cannot get into the computer's BIOS without putting in a Mac-Edition card first. It just black-screens during boot and won't allow you to enter BIOS. He also ended up building a Windows PC to put his 980 in due to all of the driver and performance issues he had. That up-charge on fancy Mac-approved hardware is there for a reason apparently.
Good grief... are you guys just making things up? There are 4 core A6 and A4 processors too. A4-5000 and A6-5200 are both quad core parts, not counting the GPU cores. the # in A# just represents the level of performance that the processor will provide. Just like there are dual and quad core i5 and i7 processors, but the i7 is going to be better than the i5.
Actually, they'd have to be talking about injectable because that's the very definition of venom. The frogs used by natives secrete poison from their skin. Beyond the article, it's the actual words that often get confused. Poison is ingested or absorbed, venom is injected.
Honestly, you could have had 2TB of 850 EVO storage from Amazon for $700... cheaper than this single drive's MSRP by $100. Of course, you'd have to split up installs across drives then.
IMAX sucks. The few theaters you find in science museums, the original IMAX screens, are pretty cool, but the vast majority of tiny screen theaters being marketed as IMAX and up-charged accordingly are lies! My I's have seen more, that is not their MAX!
I'm the original poster, realized I was logged out. I watch the trip computer, resetting it between each fill-up, but I also log mileage vs. how many gallons I put in at fill-up, then averaged those numbers over a month of driving. The trip computer at each fill-up was consistently 1-2 MPG over what I got from my calculations. I'm giving numbers based on those calculations however, as the trip computer was indeed showing 33.6 MPG for the purely highway driving, and my calculations put me right at 32 MPG.
I commented as you did, but apparently was not logged in. At any rate, I drive a turbo 2.0L now, and I get 24-25 MPG with a 2/3 split of city/highway driving, which is under the average on the sticker, but when I first got the car, I tested the MPG rating by accelerating slowly from every stop, driving at exactly the posted speed limit for city (25/35/45) and highway (55/65/70) everywhere I went and it hit the estimated numbers exactly. Driving only highway at the speed limit, I reached 32 MPG. Now, I don't drive that way usually, because, it's a turbo performance car, but driving style really does equate to good or bad fuel economy. Just because a car "can" reach those ratings, doesn't mean it will always reach those ratings regardless of other factors. On that point, pretty much anyone that drives a Prius around my home town drives it like it's a performance car, so I can only imagine they don't get the numbers they think they should either.
There have been articles talking about China creating their own Linux distribution so that's probably where they are headed. A distribution they can support themselves, indefinitely.
It appears Clayton Lockett confessed to "first-degree murder, rape, forcible sodomy, kidnapping, assault and battery, burglary and robbery" with an 18 year old girl being the target of a lot of that, including the murder, so...
He would have posted a video of himself creating bitcoin on YouTube instead... we all know that's what 20 year olds do these days when they do something that nobody should know about.

You do realize, that at .2 BAC, people will start to experience blackouts right? Maybe you are thinking about 0.02 which is a light buzz.
If you need to link a page, request the desktop version. It's annoying, but that's the easiest way I've found to do it.

Can people making the US minimum wage and trying to provide for themselves really afford to buy more iPhones?

And you used to get to play games with much more realism, but I guess you can't have everything if you don't want to pay for it.

IRS.gov looks like a GoDaddy placeholder... I don't want to sign up there.

My turbo 2.0 can beat up your 3.0 though ;)

In Obama's defense... he did just let 6 people go from Gitmo... :)

Really? Not one Tremendous Tit? Maybe even two?
I was try to refute these claims but all I can muster is "derp derp derp" after spending the past month playing Rust instead of sleeping.
