Antenna-gate for example was a problem but since almost everyone puts their phones in cases anyway it didn't really matter much from a business perspective.
Yes AntennaGate was such a problem they sold the same model - the GSM iPhone 4 - for four years without any modifications.
What was risky about Beats? It was a $3 billion acquisition of a company that was generating profit and had high margins. It was a much safer bet than say Facebook buying WhatsApp for $20 billion that had no clear to profitability.
Saying there are other ways to deal with debt like printing money is about as logical as saying there are other ways of dealing with a crazy boss than putting up with him like shooting him.
So again, are you claiming the following is a misquote?
"People said I want to go and buy debt and default on debt, and I mean, these people are crazy. This is the United States government, First of all, you never have to default because you print the money, I hate to tell you, "
So which part of "what the media fed me" didn't come directly from Trump? Repeatedly. Are all of the news sites editing his words to make him look like a raging idiot -- including Fox News?
So now you're back to claiming that their is some great left and right wing conspiracy to show that Trump doesn't understand basic economics?
Even if buy your excuse that he said he "could" do it and not that he *would* do it, he in fact *couldn't* do it. Other nations have tried and it never works.
So do you also believe that he can build a wall along the Nexican border and get Mexico to pay for it and that it would work?
Do you believe that he can bring manufacturing jobs back to the U.S.?
Do you believe that he could or should ban all Muslims?
Do you believe that he should kill terrorist's families? In that case should we also kill the families of American mass gunmen?
So since you believe that every single news source took Trump out of context - including right leaning ones - surely you can find somewhere on the Internet where Trump made a cogent argument why causing extreme inflation being a method to pay down debt is a good one?
Since the idea of printing money to solve spending problems is not a good idea is something that they teach in high school economics, can *you* explain what hypothetical context that would be a good idea?
So everyone in the media is wrong and completely made up a quote. First you blamed the "liberal media" then I posted an article by RedState.
What possible "context" could make that quote any less ignorant? I suppose you also believe - as Trump does -- that Ted Cruz's father conspired to kill JFK?
That's. Not how it works. If you print money and cause inflation, the buying power of the money decreases and you're not in in better shape. So why print money and cause the buying power to decrease by 20% (making up a number) instead of reduce benefits by 20%?
Who cares if Trump proposes a solution for resolving debt that only a third world government would do?
The original post was "Just this week he has gone from repudiating the debt to inflating it away."
This is exactly what he said. By printing money of course the debt becomes cheaper because of inflation. It isn't my fault that you couldn't draw the relatively straight line from "printing money" to "inflating the debt away".
"People said I want to go and buy debt and default on debt, and I mean, these people are crazy. This is the United States government," Trump told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day." "First of all, you never have to default because you print the money, I hate to tell you, OK?""
If you would like to support someone who gets his "news" from the National Enquirer more power to you?
So even if Apple paid all of the taxes that they "should" pay, how would that help Cupertino? The only taxes that companies pay to cities are property taxes. I'm sure Apple has to pay that. All of the other taxes are paid by employees.
I can't vote for someone who thinks the National Enquirer is a legitame news source and thinks the best way to cut the deficit is by just not paying people we owe.
I am starting to feel like this is like the old canard that iTunes rearranges your music library and won't allow you to organize the music as you please when iTunes has always had an option to do so -since 2003.
What I'd also like is a way to tell the OS that a particular wifi connection should be treated like a cellular connection, and have all apps respect that. And I'd like a pony.
Yet this is exactly what is expected from such a heavily-regulated and regulatory-captured market, so let's not try to act all surprised and outraged.
This is completely Google's fault for setting up Android this way. Apple doesn't have to wait on carriers to update the OS.
But if you want a better comparison, I didn't have to receive Dell's blessing (the manufacturer) or the store I bought the Dell from to update my OS and get patches from Microsoft. I was able to install Windows 7 on my Core Duo Mac Mini (that Apple abandoned years beforehand).

As far as ignorant, anyone who believes that the earth is 6000 years old and doesn't "believe" in evolution, is ignorant.

Laws define what is and isn't corruption. If Facebook isn't breaking the law, then Congress has no business "investigating".
So which part of "what the media fed me" didn't come directly from Trump? Repeatedly. Are all of the news sites editing his words to make him look like a raging idiot -- including Fox News?

So is RedState to liberal for you?

So I guess RedState is liberal?

So how much more context do you need to understand that Trump proposed to use the ideas that only third world countries use?
You are very welcomed to look on Google for the same quote.
Anyone with even a modicum of common sense about how monetary policy works would never even suggest that as a viable method of reducing debt.
Who cares if Trump proposes a solution for resolving debt that only a third world government would do?

This is exactly what he said. By printing money of course the debt becomes cheaper because of inflation. It isn't my fault that you couldn't draw the relatively straight line from "printing money" to "inflating the debt away".
So what do you think happens when you print money to pay off debt? You do know that leads to inflation don't you? This is simple economics 101.

How are shareholders "they"? Apple is a publicly traded company. Anyone can buy shares either directly or through mutual funds.
So even if Apple paid all of the taxes that they "should" pay, how would that help Cupertino? The only taxes that companies pay to cities are property taxes. I'm sure Apple has to pay that. All of the other taxes are paid by employees.

For iOS at least you can deny on a per app basis whether it is allowed to use cellular data.
