What a lovely non-sequitur. You clearly would prefer if some corporation tortured you for your entire life, so long as it isn't a "government". Given that some one or some entity would inevitability end up in charge, it's also impossible not to have a government.
You deserve everything bad that happens to you, just for being so stupid.
Other than your cocaine habit, what the fuck does this have to do with anything?
Without regulation, there would be ONE corporation, and no such thing as a "reasonable" price. You are an unmitigated fool and you deserve every beating you take from any corporation or the government. Really, your stupidity has earned you the privilege of being tortured for years on end. If only it wasn't all in your own mind.
Or they just stop selling via the iOS app. Apple only takes the 30% from in-app purchases. Amazon can simply make you buy books via their website and have the app sync on startup. Which is exactly how it worked on release. (I haven't used the Kindle app since Apple introduced in-app purchasing, so I don't know if this has changed.)
Where the fuck did you get the idea that Apple has any influence on wholesale prices to 3rd-parties? Publishers are free to sell to these guys for any price they'd like, and Apple can't do a thing. You're an idiot.
All businesses are anti-competitive (though most just call it competitive) unless they are already monopolies. Or unless they are colluding, but that's illegal, so we don't count that.
The difference between MS and Apple in this area is that MS is a monopolist (as defined under law and by the courts), and Apple is not (yet).
What is "the planet" that we should care about it? It makes no sense to me to sacrifice my life(style) so that in the indeterminate future humans can live better than me. If resources run out, let it happen as a natural result of consumption. I don't see how willfully ignoring resources today is any different than just letting them run out. Isn't the end result the same except that everyone suffers today and not just tomorrow?
But, as I don't want you to feel hypocritical, I encourage you to terminate yourself and any progeny you may have.
Religion is not only belief in "supernatural nonsense". The core of most major religions has much more to say on how one deals with others than how he or she deals with God. That is the part of religion that helps build cooperating societies. In that respect, it's not much different than patriotism.
Focus-follows-mouse is for idiots. I understand that you don't always care to move the mouse cursor out of the way of whatever you're trying to see, but to remove the option is just plain stupid!
If XP looks like Fisher Price to you, then Windows 7 must look like the Aero trash it defaults to. I mean, really? You can't spend the 3 and a half seconds it takes to change the theme to Windows Classic?
If older hardware merely existing is a minus against iOS, it's a good thing you're not a developer. You're so incredibly stupid, it's almost unbelievable.

People lived without corporations for thousands of years, but we have no recorded history from a time before government.
Besides, replacing Government with corporations is to have exactly what you claim we already have. So you're still a fucked-up idiot.
You are a moron. 100%, with no stupid idea left unexplored.
How the fuck would you sue anyone if there was no government? If there is a government to process a suit, how is that government free from corruption?
You are so illogical, your very existence is proof of miracles.

And idiot pieces of shit confuse reality for their ignorant dreams when they think companies would spend money on safety if they did not have to.

How is 30% of something also all of something?* Someone doesn't understand percentages.
*Except when something is zero, of course.
Neither does Apple. Or do MS, Dell and Nokia (to name just a few of many) not exist because Apple doesn't want them to?
No, the USPS can't. It just has to, so it eats the cost and ends up with huge deficits. Hence the story about which we are posting.
Jobs doesn't like porn. It's very unlikely that Apple has or allows software for fucking on either of their App Stores.
Your reading comprehension falls below zero. You must be on the business side of things, not IT.

In what universe do you live that carriers modifying Android is illegal?
Wow. That's pretty ignorant, even for slashdot. Do you not live in the US?
I was going to read the article, but it took too long to load.

If you're burning your thumbdrives, you're doing it wrong.
It's not ironic at all. If it were /news/fact/, it would be ironic.
His mother had a C-section?
Perhaps you meant "natural citizen".

Given that the Flash player has been built in to Chrome for the past several versions, you most definitely can blame them!
