  1. Or - better yet - boycott Apple on Apple Granted Trademark For Its Stores · · Score: 1

    Apple deserves to be boycotted for a dozen reasons, at least.

    I stopped buying Apple years ago, couldn't be happier about my decision.

    Now that Android has caught up with iOS, and you can get a $250 Chromebook, who needs Apple?

  2. Re:Muslims want to destroy all non-Muslim artifact on Islamist Hackers Shut Down Egyptology Research Journal · · Score: 1

    > Radical Muslims are anti-science, just as are radical Christians.

    Please name the radical Christian groups that rountinely destroy irreplacable artifacts, because of their faith.

    > The first empiricists and theoretical physicists are regarded to be Muslims.

    Debatable. But what has Islam contributed in the last thousand years? I would say, not much when you consider the numbers of Muslims.

    Islam is a backwards, barbaric, and anti-science culture. Look at any Muslim country.

    [citation needed]

    Go to this website: thereligionofpeace.com/

    There are hundreds of such citations. The website is biased, but everything there is true.

  5. Re:Spain. on Islamist Hackers Shut Down Egyptology Research Journal · · Score: 1

    > Seriously, read up on some Spanish history.

    Seriously, the key word is "history" as in many centuries ago.

    Why do apologists always compare modern Islam with ancient Christianity?

  6. Why was this post modded down? on Islamist Hackers Shut Down Egyptology Research Journal · · Score: 0

    Everything in the parent is 100% true.

  7. Muslims want to destroy all non-Muslim artifacts on Islamist Hackers Shut Down Egyptology Research Journal · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Just as they have already destroyed those Buddhist statues, and many other such artifacts.

    They even want to destroy the pyrimids in Egypt.

    IMO: Muslims are even more anti-science than Christians.

  8. Not the same thing at all on Thailand Jails Dissident For What People Thought He Would Have Said · · Score: 0

    Criticizing the government hardly compares to serious threat of imminent violence

  9. And China was outsourcing to Vietnam on Employee Outsourced Programming Job To China, Spent Days Websurfing · · Score: 1

    Not really, but it would be funny.

  10. Not evil according to Microsoft on Google Backs Down On Maps Redirect · · Score: 4, Informative

    Remember Microsoft telling the world they had no obligation to support a competitor's product?

  11. Re:And this makes it different from other religion on Scientology On Trial In Belgium · · Score: 1

    > The modern Roman Catholic church has failed dramatically, becoming one of the safest places for child molesters to hide

    Unlike modern Islam, Catholics do not condon the practice. That is a significant difference.

    In Saudi, nine year old girls are still legally married to 50 year old perverts.

  12. Define "cult" on Scientology On Trial In Belgium · · Score: 1

    To me, when the founder names himself as the ultimate profit, that seems like a cult.

    That is not true of Christianity, or Judaism, as far as I know.

    However, that is true of LDS, scientology, and Islam.

  13. Neither Hitler, or Stalin, were "secularists" on Scientology On Trial In Belgium · · Score: 1

    > They forget that secularists like Hitler and Stalin still hold the record in human atrocities

    Secularists believe that everybody can worship, or not worship, as they please; and that there is no official religious belief. That is does not describe Hitler, or Stalin.

  14. Could sell more - if they had them on Chromebook Takes Top Place In Laptop Sales On Amazon · · Score: 1

    Amazon has been out of Chromebooks for weeks, or maybe months. So is bestbuy, google play, and everybody else, as far as I can tell.

  15. Not just Pakistan on Pakistan Lifts YouTube Ban For 3 Minutes, Finds More Blasphemy · · Score: 1

    Many Muslim nations have a similar ideology.

    iPhone was not the first smart phone, far from it. Apple copied every idea.

    No amount of appeasement will ever satisfy them. If it isn't a silly video, it's a silly cartoon, or "santanic passages" or whatever.

    He used the basic principals of GUI design and explained why Windows 8 is a total failure.

    Great job. No wonder the MS shills are going crazy.

  23. Any recent invention that Apple has not patented? on Apple Patents Wireless Charging · · Score: 1

    Whatever tech jobs cannot be offshored, are being inshored - i.e. filled by visa workers.

    Unless you have a top secret clearance, or something, learning tech just means you are preparing to train your H1B replacement.
