My cousin is on a month-to-month plan with T-Mobile. She bought the phone from them on credit, basically. She pays something like an extra $20/mo for 2 years to pay off the phone. The total cost of the phone (~$480) is comparable to what the phone costs with a subsidy from any carrier. I believe she has the Galaxy S, or whatever T-Mobile calls their version of it. But, the key is that she has no contract. If she cancels, she's still on the hook for the phone, but she could theoretically stop paying for data.
In an article discussing how "dumb"-phones are way more popular than smart-phones, you don't understand the value of texting? You are an incredible idiot, whose idiocy knows no bounds. Really.
I hope your family are violently raped and murdered while you are forced to watch. Seriously. Telling someone not to be offended is like telling them not to think about pink elephants. You're basically telling them they are babies for being offended. They're just going to be more offended.
You are an asshole and an idiot. No "subsidized" phone is actually subsidized. Instead, the carrier rolls the monthly payment for your phone into your monthly bill. The problem is that this payment isn't itemized as-such. Therefore, when you bring your own phone, they conveniently ignore that some of the monthly fee is for the phone they aren't giving you.
The "killer app" isn't any particular app for me. It's the UI. There is absolutely nothing I can do on my iPad that I couldn't do on my Macbook (which I own) or on some theoretical netbook, but it's just plain easier and faster on my iPad. It's more portable. It's easier to use in a variety of positions. Due to the focused nature of smaller apps, it takes less time to get something done.
The battery life after 6 months of constant use is way better than my laptop had when it was brand new. I use it for navigation on trips instead of lugging around a laptop and Garmin hand-held GPS unit, as I use to do. Being way lighter than a laptop also makes it easier to travel with.
Apple doesn't subsidize hardware prices through any means. If no other hardware manufacturer can get the costs down, they just aren't competitive enough.
Calling the iPad a phone is like calling a laptop a phone. Both can only make calls using some kind of VoIP client. It would be much more accurate to call the iPhone a small iPad that is also a phone. Or call the iPad a large iPod Touch.
There are no illegal aliens; the phrase is an abomination.
I haven't heard of a country that does not have immigration laws, laws which also cover tourists and other visitors. Anyone who bypasses those laws to live in a country is doing so illegally. Anyone who is not a citizen is, by definition, an alien. Being an alien in an illegal manner makes one an illegal alien. QED.
Israel is not a theocracy, or if it is, it's not a Jewish theocracy.
Israel also does not engage in genocide. There are well over 100 million Arabs in the ME. Their squabbles with a small handful who call themselves Palestinians hardly qualifies as genocide.
All states murder innocents. At least Israel doesn't attack shopping centers and public buses.
A government exists to regulate. That is its ultimate purpose. A nation without government is not a nation. It is a free-for-all anarchy where those who are unethical and immoral enslave those who are weaker than they. I guess you prefer the latter, but human history proves that the vast majority prefers the former.
You should stop walking into Apple Stores, you ignorant piece of shit. Really. That's the only place where Apple-anyone will try and push you to buy Apple products.

Not to say you're wrong, but I would like to point out that Islam is fairly primitive and backwards.

In so far as the iTV can't record anything, it's not a DVR.
Other than it being against school rules, what exactly would they have been doing wrong? I doubt either was married.

Your advice is to stop being human. I'm sure that will work well for the general, um... human, population.
You're an ignorant and sociopathic shithead.
You can can break out cables for the iPad that output to HDMI.
I would appreciate rumors of your demise, but I fear those would be even more exaggerated than the crap you spew.
Actually, no one in the world wonders, nor cares, why you don't use Apple products. The iPad can do HDMI-out.

Mistake or not, accident or not, it's pretty stupid to walk around a known war-zone and not expect bad things to happen.

You don't just seem to be an ignorant piece of trash -- you are one!
That's not a URL, it's a host name.
Their, they're. Its OK. You'll survive.
Oh, and you may want to losen up, before you loose it!
It is illegal. You were the first to mention that it is "wrong".
No, they couldn't.
So you're unprincipled and you don't know how to choose your homonyms!
