    The room you occupy in your mom's basement does not constitute a "house". I am sure your siblings bring in their iPods all the time without bothering to let you know.

    The only thing that matters to this study is if the food does any damage before it passes out of the system. Two years should be plenty of time to study a statistically significant sample size.

    What you state about GM crops is perfectly possible with non-GM crops. Stop the hysteria.

    Why in the world do you think that you'll be able to get 50% of the original price in a year? That's naively optimistic.

    It's a feature for Apple, and you better believe Samsung and Asus wish they were making the same.

    Basically, you are stupid. You don't understand the market nearly as well as Apple does, and because you don't understand it, you think they must somehow be brainwashing people into buying their hardware. Just because Apple may be better at marketing does not mean that Android manufacturers are not trying. They just suck.

    In every way that matters to Samsung and Apple, the Galaxy S II does not outshine the iPhone. It doesn't sell as many and it doesn't make Samsung as much money per unit as the iPhone does for Apple.

    Apple has become the most profitable tech company in the world doing basically the opposite of what you wrote. I think you are probably extremely wrong.

    You are an unmitigated idiot. It's completely logical to state that a kernel bug can be exploited by means other than the one vector used to date. The only question is whether another vector will be found, no whether it exists.

    I've been to Israel. Israel has citizens which go on murderous rampages and yet the group to which these filth belong are not persecuted in any way, shape or form. In what way can Israel's regime be considered oppressive?

    You are assuming that just because it can be used as a general-purpose computer that it must be. That's just selfishness and greediness talking.

    Go build your own tablet, with your own OS or mod of Android, and call it a day.

    I don't in any way support usage of the Legal system to stop you from hacking your own hardware, but I take exception to people expecting companies to hand them their pet desires on a silver platter. If you don't like what's being offered, tough shit. Do it yourself.

    What is the relevance of an affordable, certified "real Android tablet" to the Kindle Fire or the Nook? Just because there isn't a product on the market that satisfies your desire to not pay anything doesn't mean that Amazon and B&N have to satisfy your thriftiness by opening up their tablets.
