It sickens me that someone as blatantly anti-science as this broun asshat is even allowed to open his mouth in public, let alone have oversight on the subject. I don't care if that guy was just pandering to a bunch of hillbillies or if he really believes the shit that fell out of his ignorant mouth, it needs to stop.
How is it not exactly? It really is kind of text book free enterprise. That is taking advantage of the market when it benefits you most and guarantees the highest rate of return on your investment.
This exactly. People counter this argument by saying that from 2008-2010 the Dems controlled the house and the senate and no real change happened. Well, that's what happens when you have a bunch of scattered D's vs. a laser focused obstructionist republican party. The R's have not once tried to work towards any meaningful reforms of anything, nor have they accepted or offered any kind of compromise other than "my way or the highway" (i.e, the debt crisis, student loan reform, bush era tax cuts). The whole situation is incredibly depressing to watch. They have repeatedly blocked bills that would benefit their constituency purely for the purposes of being obstructionists. No matter what they do they have faux news repeatedly chirping about how noble and brave they are being. The problem isn't just the tea party, it's the co-opting of the republican party by the religious right. The tea baggers and their idiotic anti-tax stances are bad, but the zealotry that is brought to the table by thinking that their stance is divinely inspired leaves no room for compromise because they have a definite position on all things.
Well, the fact that the only thing that makes them remotely comparable to the competition is iOS then yes they are overpriced. Apple doesn't make high powered devices, they make mid range shinies and sell them at a market premium. The new one is selling for slightly closer to the actual value, but this has not been the case in the past.
it's 2.25% not $2.25. If the device cost 100 dollars then it would be $2.25 but since Apple seems to think it needs to charge $300-$500 for anything with rounded edges and a shiny cover it's likely to cost much more than that. I personally find it hilarious that they are hoping to rig some kind of sweetheart deal when they are gonna be on the ass end of a legal ass fucking.
You can't say that 100%. Samsung is very compartmentalized. I worked at a semiconductor manufacture and they were our biggest competitor for DRAM and 2nd for Flash, but they still bought tons of chips for their electronics business from us inspite of the fact that their chip business was trying to price us out of the market. It's counter intuitive, but it's how they do, or at least how they did business.
Seconded, that's exactly what we did. Actually we shut that POS down right after I set up the exchange client for the last user. I think it was less than an hour after we got him switched over. BES was/is a nightmare.

It's not like they are politicians or lawyers, where everyone is bad.
That's an equally ignorant statement by your own logic. I had a rant, but it's not worth the time.
Yes, so we can Bring it back to the States!

Holy shit retard did you ever miss the point. If you don't get the reference don't open your ignorant cockwasher.
He's too liberal for Utah.
The outcome will be the same, exactly nothing. This is just bluster, these guys aren't really going to do anything.

Almost as witty as having to grow up and here that inane stuff every time you tell someone your name.
What? I'm right here, jackass.
Pop some more pills pillhead!
She's certainly not smuggling any talent in there.
I think you mean:
Punctuation is, like, seasoning! Adding more, improve's the...flavour!?!
What does Southern California have to do with this?
This is sad and accurate.

4 years of not having to deal with Mitt Romney.

Hey hey, no one said they need to make them that bad.

This is perhaps the most naïve thing I have ever read on here. Kudos to you!
Don't feed the libretrolls man, just don't.

Apparently I touched a nerve with some fanbois
