Because if companies would stop being childish and suing each other, improving their product instead of throwing lawyers around, I might have a better phone in my pocket. And that does effect me personally.
The price of the iPad pays for itself after a single semester,' Petit said. 'iPad books cost so much less it's a legal alternative for students who are using BitTorent [to pirate books].'
Right, and where do you think they're getting those electronic text books from? Since they're broke after buying an IPad, who wants to bet it's Bit Torrent?
Last time I tried to buy textbooks online, they were almost the exact same price, so this wouldn't really save them all that much...
It might save money, but in general the quality is terrible. I deal with this at work quite often, I'm constantly hearing the teams around me at work cleaning up after the messes people overseas make.
Which then, my company has spent X dollars paying workers overseas PLUS Y dollars they have to pay the workers here to fix the shoddy code, on occasion rewriting the entire thing.
Chrome is slowly improving, while Firefox is quickly becoming the worst browser on the market. Go figure the numbers reflect that.
I've been using Firefox for as long as I can remember, but this batshit insane update schedule is forcing me to look at other browsers.
With all the money these idiotic ISPs spend on lobbyists and lawyers, they could probably spend LESS just upgrading their infrastructure to accommodate with today's usages.
We cured cancer! The cure will be out in a few years...
We solved the energy crisis! It'll be out in a few years...
And now this! They'll be out in a few years...
You know what? While we're at it, lets say we'll have mind reading devices that make a mouse and keyboard obsolete in a few years too.

Every other day I'm hearing about smartphone makers suing each other, that's what I'm fed up with.
...better Amazon than Apple.
Which is pretty much like saying a punch in the face is better than a knife in one, but hey, beggars can't be choosers.
Only now, we're giving power to Mexican Cartels instead of Al Capones.
I tried that with my neighbors too, and it didn't work.
If it helps North Korea, I can point you to a store that has pretty good curtains!

Now tell me, which is more expensive, Y or X+Y?
Mozilla's future funding coming from Microsoft and Bing
Since Firefox wasn't getting bad enough...
Had the included SD cards, I would have considered buying one.
I'm not paying Apple prices on memory cards.
I can resist because, quite frankly, I like being employed.
On top of getting fired, good luck getting another IT slot ever again if you're caught.

That's a much better idea.
We threw so much money at them, we expected they roll over and do what we say
I'm usually against biting the hand that feeds, but fucking way to have balls for once FCC.

Such an oddly specific number, why not round it up to $30?
If anyone honestly thinks this is going to hurt the rich in any shape, form or fashion, they've got more than a few screws loose.
My boss and other superiors must be my best friends in that case.
...that's exactly what we need. Another huge tech company to outsource manufacturing overseas. Why didn't I think of that?
I would love to trust Zuckerberg to watch my dog. She'd probably bite his face off, and the would would forever be better off.
Someone in power gained a shred of common sense? Never thought I'd see the day...
This was one incident and we do not know what the circumstances were.
Lets be honest though, that's all the assholes down at TSA need.
...it's because Gerard Depardieu pissed on it, right?
I'm not asking for immediacy either, It's more skepticism. I'm constantly reading articles that say "Oh, we'll have it in a few years..."
I wasn't complaining it never improves, I was complaining that I'm tired of reading slashdot articles that post a time of release as "in a few years"
