    Why do we all have to bend over backwards to try to get people who have no interest in our hobbies to be interested in our hobbies? They're just not interested, so why the hell should I care?

    Because women make up over 50% of the population.

    I don't think that you could quantify what needs to be changed, it's a bigger problem than a marketer and a marketing department should be taking on.

    no, that's the entire basis for economics.

    Currencies have value because there's an economic system supporting it.

    I largely agree with you.

    However, where I find bitcoin to be intriguing is that for the reasons you mention why national fiat currencies operate(that is currencies live and die based on the economic ecosystem and infrastructure around it) it validates the theories behind fiat currencies, not the other way around. Which is ironic considering how many Ron Paul types back it...

    oh, I thought you were saying just exactly that iPad users were stupid, not trying to dismiss that common meme.

    I was saying that the Venn Diagram overlap of people who use iPads and the people who read the New York Post tends to be very low because they're reading the Post.

    But economies aren't closed systems, and there are other sources of wealth other than just money.

    Yes, if you have a microcosm of just 1 unit floating around, and no one else is doing anything, like say, working, sitting on inherited wealth or exploiting natural resources, you've really got an over simplified model of how an economy works.

    I wonder how many libertarians get the irony of rebelling against the federal reserve with bit coin.

    Bit coins are only as valuable as the economy that's willing to trade in it.

    I mean okay maybe there's no irony if they understand that and they're bothered by specifics, but libertarians aren't known for their nuance...

    I'm no fan of DirectX myself, however, I cited it as one of the many SDKs and APIs that Windows devs live and die off of.

    Besides, OGL is graphics only. DirectX is a comprehensive suite of APIs that handle input, sound and networking.

    SDL would probably be a better analogy.

    Actually, listening *all* iOS devices versus *all* Android devices defeats the point of pointing out that there are more Android devices than iPhones. There are more iOS devices than Android devices.

    Basically, in the last year and a half, the only thing Android OEMs have done is just crap out more phones and Google hasn't been doing much on the OS side(In fact, some people are perpetually stuck on old versions of the OS software).

    what about this?

    This is worldwide share of phones and iPod Touch/iPad devices aren't included.

    RIM's playbook is a goddamned joke. It hasn't sold well and they're losing market share every quarter.

    You get the point. It doesn't matter if you're pro or not, you can still be an empty shill who stumps endlessly for whatever brain dead point of view you want.

    The question of quality in media isn't a matter of whether or not they're professional or not. I mean, Shephard Smith works deep in the bowels of Fox News, but, despite any leanings he has, he's fair enough that this liberal's willing to respect him.

    Well, the problem with citizen journalism is that unless you've got enough eyes peering onto your site to somehow support some sort of revenue stream, you're going to be spending half your day at work, the other half doing reporting and you're going to be pretty burnt out from all of it.

    This is the advantage of professional journalists, they get to eat because of their work.

    Yugos were meant to be cheap cars for the masses. it wasn't pathetically trying to be something it wasn't.
