That's just the point I was making... I don't think they would ever let it get to all-out war, because they know internally that for them, erm, the only winning move is not to play.
No matter how it played out, there will always be a point where the world says to DPRK, "your move". They would know that on the other side of that move would be complete defeat, deposition, and the ROK taking over the whole peninsula. They would never call that bet because they know they could never win.
They are just posturing so that the new leader can retain support of the old guard as power changes hands, and angling for more international aid money, food, etc. (so they can continue spending on edifices of adjective-Leader and rattletrap military "tech")
I'm guessing it's probably the easiest for a corporation to develop for, since the hardware is a known quantity and for the most part the OS versioning is too, you will get consistent function across devices. It will also be tested by Apple before they allow it on the app store.
Certainly a slick and quick way to get an app to market.
Harleys have a market that is entirely separate from the rest of the motorcycle market. There are generally no reasons to explain why someone who bought a Harley did so. They just do it because they think HD is "the real thing". It's hilarious to hear a group of them talk about how they much they spent on a big, slow, unreliable bike. The purchases all rest on "the tradition", "the feel", "the prestige", etc... nothing with any basis in reality.
Now, you'll hear them retort today about how reliability is much better than it used to be, and it has gotten better, but it's still nowhere near that of basically any other brand. They are intentionally using an antiquated engine design with 1950s tech and marketing like anything more advanced "ain't shit". I mean, they are still air cooled for goodness sake...
HD is the greatest case of drone marketing in world history. They have a militant user base willing to pay a premium price for a product that is inferior in every quantifiable way. Not only this, but they spend trillions on cheap chinese trinkets just because they carry the logo.
It's not like the premium clothing outlets where the product is better, but not in proportion to the price. It's even greater than that.
Personally, I keep an extra gmail account to sign up for websites that is only used for that purpose. My real email address is never entered into a signup form, only my spamtarget address.
I don't share passwords between my spam target email or accounts and my real life email and accounts.
But yes, the day I (sign up for and) am worried about a useless account like gawker getting cracked is the day I know that I truly have no life.
"In a 4-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme court let stand the Ninth Circuit's decision that the First-Sale Doctrine (which says once you buy something, the maker gets no say in what you do with it) only applies to goods made in the US. That Omega watch you bought in Switzerland last year? It's yours now—forever. You can't sell it without Omega's permission."

It's been on MY desktop since 199x!
Apparently, you didn't hear about "hope" and "change"
Give me a break. Apple sells a streamlined user experience to people who want exactly that.
To read these comments, you'd think Apple had everyone chained up in a dungeon with no way to ever escape.
Proprietary X says "You suck!" to Proprietary Y
I think the reason for their confusion is that sales and profitability at Apple are higher than ever.
How do you get that out of UMG v MP3.com, and what did Apple have to do with deciding it?
The case was regarding whether the website had the right to use copyrighted music to make ad revenue.
I find your claim particularly curious since this case was on or about 2000, and the iTunes store did not launch until 2003.
According to posts yesterday, this link leads to a virus in PDF. Don't click it.

They don't mean any of this seriously.

Same here.

I think the primary reason is that they don't want any other midlife crisis sufferer to say "it ain't a harley".

How do I know that website is freeware? I'm not clicking on that.
Frankly, I think GUIs are oppressive. I long for the freedom and ideological purity of the text-based Listro.
Even more people who will just download the "non-free" stuff immediately upon installing. Extra steps FTW

Sounds like an elite group of hackers.

If he did that, any further grammatical errors would be everted.
