How much would be raised by a tax on poor spelling?
Apply a 'Z' tax for every time you needlessly replace an 'S' and a fine for every missing 'U'. That should fill up your coffers and get Americans spelling properly in no time.
If this were to happen I wonder how long it would take for H1b to apply to chinese kids and apple suddenly seem the think americans aren't capable of the most basic menial work.
Trump...business savvy? Errrr...3 or 4 bankruptcies, no U.S. bank will loan to that deadbeat, the word in business is to get your money up front if you deal with Trump. I think the appellation Sgt. Bilko is more apt.
He's gotta be pretty savvy if he can fuck up as much as he does and still be stupidly loaded enough to buy the presidency.
Under Obama care faceless bureaucrats will decide who lives and who lives and who dies.
Who decides who lives and dies under Trump care? Maybe it can be a reality show.
Yeah man, set up some premium rate phonelines and then they can use the profits from that to fund the next war then give the whole pay per view thing another shot.
In fact, the health care could be getting better, while people are getting increasingly obese. Hard to treat that:(
Except it is, diet and exercise, fat removal, gastric band, the list goes on, being fat isn't like getting cancer. More often than not the person has done it to themselves, and it's reversible if only they can be bothered to put the effort in.
Because the dominant culture is European and it has systematically sought to destroy other cultures through war, colonization, subjugation, forced assimilation, and economic coercion?
iTunes is just terrible on dialup. Apple apparently doesn't give a damn about early adopter cities like Seattle.
I'm no fan of apple and especially iTunes but it's really not their fault that Seattle is still trudging on dial up. You might as well complain that ford doesn't cater to horses.
I severely limit the movies I see because of the movies. They're all shit nowadays, it's a rarity anything will be worth seeing and almost definitely not for the price they want.
I'm not, of course, talking about an iTunes rental price that remains constant.
It would have to be a price that starts out extremely high -- high enough to more than offset the losses resulting from decreased theater attendance and piracy -- then decays exponentially, asymptotically approaching what one currently pays for an iTunes rental.
Wait, wait, wait. I'm not into itunes and all this shit but what the fuck? You guys are renting digital content now? Worst of both worlds eh?
Clearly, he's extorting money from those of us who can't stand to see bad grammar, Quick! Someone pay him before he misuses their//there/they're or says "my head literally exploded!"
Everyone hates the RIAA, but the fact is without the marketing by these entities you would never have found your "favorite" bands. Of course, out will come the people saying I am stupid (or a troll), and protesting that they like their favorite indie band because they heard them in a bar, Youtube, from a friend, etc. But the reality is that 99% of music is heard because of marketing. Period.
Shame the RIAA don't do marketing, they collect royalties. The labels do all the marketing then charge the band back for it.
So if you're making it thinner how does that make room for bigger battery? The jack only takes up so much space. Didn't the iphone say that too and end up having less battey power? Oh well, that's samsung off the considerations list.
Not overpriced. Man, that'll keep me chuckling all day.
Laugh all you want but what I said is correct. You are conflating YOUR willingness to pay for what Apple offers with what OTHERS are willing to pay for it. To you it might seem overpriced but to others just the opposite is true. And BOTH of you are right.
To be fair, in my opinion mostly all high tech goods are overpriced but that's besides the point. I'm basing that on the fact that they offer no better and sometimes worse performance than their immediate competitors while being significantly more expensive. Now you or others might (and obviously do) think the apple premium is worth it, but when you're paying that a premium for the logo alone, they are overpricing it because they know they can, especially when most of the cost is disguised by payment plans. Unfortunately when most people hear "only/price/ per month" they rarely multiply that by the contract length to figure out the actual cost.

They should invest in the US by building a fucking factory here.
Apple is building a dongle factory in the US.* That should make you happy for an hour or two.

the 10% luxury goods tax that literally gutted the luxury boat business.
I bet that was wound felt all over the land with a deep and profound impact.

Wait until Trump slaps $50 per phone tariff on their asses
Lol, like an extra $50 would stop a die-hard Apple fanboi from buying his or her new shiny.
Which is why Trump would stop at $50 per phone, because he's relatively business savvy and it's a tariff that would work without killing the business.
Unlike Bush's $10K+ tax on luxury boats.
Yeah but apple still wouldn't pay it, they'd just pass it on to the suckers, sorry, consumers who buy their crap.

No worse than the shit obama got blamed for.

So far he seems to be doing ok, to my surprise.
So far? He hasn't even started the job yet.
Because the dominant culture is European and it has systematically sought to destroy other cultures through war, colonization, subjugation, forced assimilation, and economic coercion?
So it's a revenge thing?
Further to that, hell no.

That's what you get for renting digital content you sucker. They fucking saw you coming didn't they?
