More than 80% of people are still working. Lots of them probably feel pretty secure in their jobs. Especially the ones who would ever spend $2,000 on a new laptop (I don't see any problem with spending the $2,000, but good luck convincing me that a $2,000 laptop is $1,000 better than a $1,000 laptop).
Yeah, but this find only shows that the outside bits are pretty similar, present day octopi may be far smarter or whatever, you would need DNA to start talking about anything in depth.
Of course Microsoft doesn't care. The Appstore simply isn't a threat to Windows binary inertia (and there are legions of people who will go to extreme lengths to not reward a company for marketing a device with a sole gatekeeper).
Big airplanes are like that because they are more profitable to operate than small airplanes. The actual experience of flying has little to do with it (well, aside from being fairly cramped, which is more profitable...).
What if you are in the woods without even a hatchet? How long until you have a simple hatchet?
Probably not all that long until most people have some sort of edge to work with (find 2 stones, smash, presto!). But how long until you come up with something that is reasonably light and has a handle?
The markup isn't due entirely to ripping the customer off, a real store needs to carry a much higher ratio of inventory to sales (with 1,000 stores, you need to have at least 1,000 boxes on hand...), and in a market where prices pretty much plummet, that means you are left holding the bag on a lot more inventory, so you charge more on what you do sell and don't worry so much about the sales that you lose to cheaper retailers with a more efficient structure.

O.k., but there aren't any of those. Or not very many anyway.
Won't some of the atoms (the heavier ones), statistically, move towards the earth?
So you are only addicted to cocaine on Wednesdays?
I wouldn't equate the situations. I didn't explicitly mention competition, but it is in the context.

As long as you pay for all of the incredibly accurate speedometers that would be required.
Mustangs retail for ~$27,000 (less if you douche out and get the V6). Not cheap, but not exactly ritzy either.
You probably don't view your religion as a bargain.
If you did, there is a pretty good chance that you would be more opposed to ideas that implied that you are getting the short end of the stick.
Do you hear them when you sleep?
They murmur to me.

He better not say that out loud though.
Logic and smoke or something, and then whatnot.
If we assume magic, I could fly.

There's one in the summary:

Hopefully it isn't something they left on by accident, it would suck if they turned it off.
Ironically immolating yourself is the next big thing.
It is catching on fast, but I think it is going to end up burning out quickly.
n back is boring. And not adaptive enough. Someone make a fun version that is more adaptive.
X is the mark of someone who doesn't read.

Your botnet would be faster.
I imagine Dick Cheney is far scarier than the cartoon you are imagining. He likely believes that he is a good man doing necessary things.
The whole plan hinges on "my terribly naive view of biology".
If you think this is fine, you are a douche (illegal or not).
