Right now the life expectancy on a smartphone is 11.5 months. So even just a stagnant replacement market would be fine. Now if the life expectancy went up and the market stagnated Apple would be an over valued company.
Well OK but remember this started with talk about the definition of "treason".
As for the guns, the gun sales were on the direct orders or a US admiral and the likely indirect orders of the president of the United States. But even if they weren't illegal arms sales are not treason. At the time (August 20, 1985) we were not in armed hostilities with Lebanon.
Treason is a legal term with a legal definition. And neither of those qualifies.
You are talking 3 different markets here: a) children's educational programming b) college educational programming c) very inexpensive amateur development
Visual Studio and Visual Studio languages are not a good choice for (a). Languages designed for professional use have design elements which are tweaked to things like the current state of hardware or the current technological infrastructure that shouldn't be part of children's education. They shouldn't be using Visual Studio they should be using entirely different tools. As I mentioned Microsoft does even make these and gives away for free like: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/kodu/ , http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/beginner/ff384126.aspx
For (b). I don't think Windows RT is designed to be device capable of supporting a college student as their only device. So the lack of Visual Studio is just one of many hundreds of limitations that make RT not suited for that role.
As for (c) I'd say the same as (b). RT shouldn't be a person's sole device.
Neither. I remember quite a few hijackings and wanted a quick piece of evidence about how many there were. I understand air travel is common. I also believe that for some reason terrorists seem to be attracted to airplanes more than subways or busses or ground trains or other sites like shopping malls. It is not the government but the terrorists that picked this particular venue.
usually don't consider loud arguing and body scan refusal to be violent.
She wasn't charged with being violent.
I'm not entirely sure what you consider to be peaceful protesting but I would like to think that there is a difference between peaceful protesting and obedience.
A peaceful protest would start with attempting to get a parade permit to protest at an airport, as a protest at an airport is going to require coordination with security for everyone's safety.
The facts were widely available and widely discussed. The laws that were put into effect represented the popular consensus. If people are unable to form rational policy responses to opposition to our foreign policy, that's an argument against democracy not for it.
IMHO a SQL Server DBA can be less skilled than an Oracle DBA and be functional. IMHO a Windows Admin can be less skilled than a Linux admin and be functional. That's not to say that Oracle is not a better product but will give it to Microsoft on ease of use issues.
As far as price I think it is clear cut. For example: SQL Server: $6,874 per core Oracle $47,500 per core
Interestingly enough DB2 has gotten really cheap: $584 per core per year.
When did I say anything about children. I'm sure children's programming tools will be available for RT. Microsoft Research has about 3 different children't programming environments and languages they currently support you can download.
The key issue with Apple is their operating margin. They aren't a bubble company PE past 14, forward 10 with is low for growing company. The market already has priced in stagnant earnings growth. Even with Apple's current 22.6 yoy growth. The only thing that is likely to bring the stock down would be:
a) shrinking revenue, i.e. an iPhone that customers hated or serious manufacturing problems b) margin collapse rather than a gradual fall
The stock price is not based on hype. If anything Apple is underpriced. And I say this as someone who is frequently quite bearish.
I don't think an interactive table is much good for a desktop replacement - where would I put my coffee mug?
Right on it. The screen is capacitive. It detects a ceramic object and blocks off that region of screen. We can accomplish that with today's technology.
Is Visual Studio going to allow you to develop apps for Windows 8 and Windows RT? I don't think so - only one, not both.
What do you mean "going to". Visual Studio already works fine for Win 8 and Win RT. The issue is that Windows RT doesn't run Visual Studio, the opposite problem and Microsoft doesn't intend to fix that and they are right. There is no reason to use RT for heavy duty apps like a IDE / compiler.
Because it costs much less to retrain staff than to replace an entire deep infrastructure of enterprise applications. Moreover Microsoft is generally much cheaper than their competition i.e. Dynamics vs. Oracle Financials.
Lately? Since the day the Mac was introduced the core of the marketing campaign has been comparison. Whether it be IBM or Microsoft or Google their ad campaigns emphasize how they are better.
The TSA itself includes the Federal Air Marshals so definitely the TSA is. The screeners I'd say are law enforcement assistance. They are tasked on collecting information for law enforcement.
Ignoring rights is not treason. I suggest you lookup what treason means.
As far as rights guaranteed by the constitution... the authors of the constitution were quite often local politicians and as local politicians they enforced rules against disturbing the peace and interfering with the administration of law.
You are not the center of the universe. Millions of muslims all over the world, do not care whether you have freedom and are scared or not. They use their military for the same reasons you use yours to effect political changes that you desire.
We might just be disagreeing on minuscule vs. low. I can understand being opposed to the increased security measures, I am. That being said, I also agree with Andrea Abbott being guilty of disorderly conduct.
In general Amazon is anti privacy and Apple is pro privacy. Since they are in competition with Google it is to both Apple and Microsoft's advantages to emphasize the fact that they are not in the advertising business and don't sell customer information. If they were doing themselves the same sort of things Google and advertisers who buy data from Google do, it would be harder to make the case.

The outside of a coffee cup isn't really that hot. Remember it has to be comfortable to hold. I'd assume that's easy enough to deal with.

Bobby Fischer was suspected of a trading violation not treason.
Well that's all after Jobs, which was your original point. And a 150% profit in 2 years is rather on the high side of how much you win.

That strong demand?
Yes that strong demand. And it remains true today: http://www.gallup.com/poll/156491/Americans-Views-TSA-Positive-Negative.aspx
As far as the news media ... the news media did a terrible job in their analysis. But at the time published Bin Ladin's statement in full: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2001/oct/07/afghanistan.terrorism15

But that has nothing to do with Visual Studio.
Huh. If you got in even 2 years ago you bought at about 250 and are now at 611. What's not to be happy about?

That wasn't the 1980s. The iMac he was setting up is from 1998.
The TSA itself includes the Federal Air Marshals so definitely the TSA is. The screeners I'd say are law enforcement assistance. They are tasked on collecting information for law enforcement.
The Federal Air Marshals within the TSA are classified as law enforcement. Screeners assist law enforcement as part of their mission statement.
