  1. Re:Apple? It's SHIT on Apple Watches Were Crashing When Asked About the Weather (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    I fully expected a link to a blog from some Apple fanboy who bought every single piece they ever made.

  2. Then it shows you the built-in ads. Makes you kinda nostalgic every time you see the 3 year old Pepsi ad...

    If you can.

    You can rest assured that the prospective ads will factor into the selling price of the device, eventually meaning that you can get a huge TV for the price of a small one without the "feature", which by the laws of the stupid customer means that in the end everyone who makes decent TVs will not be able to continue business and only ad-sponsored TVs will remain.

    Then I guess one of those smart TVs needs to be lobotomized before being allowed in my network.

    And if they advertise it, then nobody will buy it.

    You're underestimating human stupidity. And greed. And miserliness.

    I would never have thought people would buy a TV that includes a camera they don't control and put said TV into their bedroom. But they did. You think they wouldn't buy a 80" TV for 300 if the fine print tells them it will constantly bombard them, I mean, entertain them with custom tailored ads that have been selected JUST FOR THEM?

    You bet people will buy that junk.

    Ohh, can I have the model with the farting ass?

    Probably that the water has been heated steadily since Clinton that the frog doesn't jump anymore.

    Quite frankly, Nixon wouldn't be impeached today, the whole Watergate would go down as a footnote in the CNN ticker and that would be it.

    And that says what exactly about his qualities as a president?

    I agree, it's despicable. But considering that we've recently had presidents that started wars over nothing, greenlit torture and prisoner camps where people are kept for however long we fucking please without process and under questionable conditions that again border on torture, had people killed on little more than "I think he might be a terrorist" and so on... I can only say if THAT is what you have to say against Trump, well, we've had worse.

  10. Because the spotlight has been turned off long ago. Whether she moves or not, nobody really gives a shit anymore. She can as well stay where she is, at least as long as she doesn't get in the way.

  11. We have already poured something like 100 million dollars into investigating her and Bill Clinton and all we got out of it was a lie about a blowjob.

    If you word it that way, my last relationship was kinda a bargain. Though with similar results.

  12. News about a loser that plays no role anymore? No, that's not news. At least it's not really interesting.

    They not only look alike, they're also very obviously fully fungible. Or did you notice any kind of difference when this one got tossed out and that one posed as the drop-in replacement?

    Granted, that has little to do with being Indian or Pakistani, that's more a feature of politician. That's also why political murder has gone out of fashion. Why bother putting a hole in this sock puppet, it's the same as the sock puppet replacing it.

    And of course you have to drop the rest of your decency first. Or at least not shave with a straight razor because you might feel the urge to off the asshole.

    And they keep increasing the bounty every year. I'm honestly just waiting 'til the bounty is higher than the fine to see how people start cheating on their taxes and then turn themselves in because it makes them pay less.

    Wait, how does this "legal" thing come into play? Aren't we told time and again that the corporate leaders and generally wealthy are role models we should aspire to? Do you want to say they aren't what we should copy and try to become?
