  2. Re:Apple sees the writing on the wall.. on Apple Wants To Block Some HTC Products From US Under Tariff Act of 1930 · · Score: 1

    the newer iphone apps are being developed on newer phones that are turning out more Mhz. if you have an older iphone this forces you to upgrade. they may not be preaching from the Ghz bible, but they are using it to drive sales of their newer phones.

    FWIW, i've owned both an iphone and an Android.

    as for the battery life that was discussed up the page, it varies with what you are running at the time.

  4. Co-op/Intern on Calling BS On Unpaid Internships · · Score: 1

    when I was going to school to earn my A&P(2 year tech school) i went on a Co-op where i was paid.
