Another example The iPad sells better than any other tablet out there, but it has some serious pitfalls, such as not being able to expand the storage, and not being able to hook up standard USB devices. Compare that to this year's Surface 2, which the only flaws seem to be the small app selection
You seem to dismiss Operating System. One major reason the iPad sells better is the superior user experience and application consistency that other tablets lack.
I find the amount of 4+ modded posts about how bad things are or will be once "change" happens quite evidentiary of just how much people (not matter education level) fear "change".
Many of said posts want some sort of guaranteed safety net, showing just how fearful people are of "change". "What will I do when change happens".
News flash: It's happened before, it will happen again, and there are no guarantees.
I've been told by LEOs that if they want to search your car or your person, they're going to do it. I asked about PC (probable cause) and their reply was "The instant you refuse, or ask a question I've got my PC. You look/sound suspicious and now I have reason to beleive you're hiding something".
I was speachless.
Basically, one way or other you will comply. And one way or another they're going to justify it.
What a shame it is that our country operates in this manner. Regardless of which or both parties are to blame it's the publics complacency in allowing our elected leaders to behave this way.
This is supposed to be a capitalist democracy. There is supposedly a free market.
Wave goodbye to innovation when you can no longer bring it to market because it is more lucrative to stifle it.
I read this time and time again about how vile the U.S. is for policing the world and pushing every other country around. Without the U.S. there will be a power vacuum. Who would you prefer to take it's place?
Not that I agree with the parent but I think what they are trying to say is that you're putting your FAITH in qualified individuals to have properly vetted the science (not having applied the science yourself), much the same way that they are putting their FAITH in some other power (without any proof).
I think that there are some parallels to these two divergent philosophies.
Most religious people put their faith into something they admit they cannot fully understand. They hope that their deity of choice is benevolent and looking out for them. They blindly accept assumptions about the world around them based on the promises from their books of choice.
Most non-religious people put their faith into science and facts knowing little to nothing about it. They trust that scholars and scientists are generally benevolent and looking out for them. They blindly accepting the work of engineers and scientists to invent things and explain the world around them.
Let's face facts. Most people just go with the flow and if it appears to work for the majority, they're on-board. They are more than happy to place their trust in someone or something else, because it's easy. Doesn't matter what the someone or something else is, as long as it doesn't interfere too much with whatever priorities they have in their own lives and helps them feel a little safer.
A small percentage of people do take the time to study, learn, experiment and question the world around them. They generally fall into two categories: Theologians and Scientists. Both are on a quest for answers.

It's like Sex Wax surfboard wax. Did the creators really think it was actually intended to be used for sex?

You already can't use your phone in a movie theater.

The "Silence is golden" sign before the movie starts is hardly a law.
I think the parent was suggesting legislation.
Would people rather we halt weapon advancement and go back to the good 'ol days of carpet bombing?
I'd like to thank the efforts of engineers who've worked at making more discriminating weapons that are less likely to cause unintended harm.
