The real question is when did they stop selling it. Apple do not releases cheaper iPhones (except the 5C). Usually, they just continue selling their old phones for less.
Get over it, 16GB is more than enough for most buyers. It's always the most popular option. For $379 including free shipping (shipping was extra on Nexus 5), it's hard to beat.
Objective-C was a single-platform language, with a single vendor and a single compiler*. Now that the only vendor switch to something else, developers move along. Nobody ever wanted to develop in Objective-C. People developed in Objective-C because it was the language of iOS.
*Yes, I know, GCC also supports Objective-C and 2 Linux users used it in their basement
Because newer technology and Moore's law allows them to produce higher density chips. Less chips = cheaper to make. I don't recall any other 3 year period where RAM prices didn't decrease.
Still, RAM prices should be lower after 3 years, not the same. RAM is definitely not cheap. We need more RAM than 3 years ago, but the price is the same, or more. RAM is not produced in the USA, so I don't think its value has much to do with the USD. The CAD decreased by about 15% against the Taiwan New Dollar, however.
3 years ago, I bought 2x8 GB desktop DDR3 memory for about $70 CAD. It is now about $100. Where is Moore's law when we need it? And DDR4 is even more expensive.
I don't why so many in the Linux community are so hooked on ZFS. BTRFS has a feature set that is rapidly getting there, its becoming more a more mature in terms of code that is already in the upstream.
Why not just put your energy there?
The fact is that 99% of the users couldn't care less about ZFS or BTRFS. Ext4 is just fine, and ext3 was also fine before, for 99% of the use cases. Hence, most people will just stick to their default FS. Likewise, most Windows users are fine with NTFS, and wouldn't switch to ZFS even if it became available on Windows.
Just because ZFS is mature on Solaris doesn't make it mature on Linux. Out of tree modules always suck in the long run. I agree that there is more future in BTRFS because of that. Unless they finally release ZFS under the GPL.
How much money do you think a web site makes with you visiting it for a year? The problem I see with ads is that they are highly inefficient. They do not give a significant amount of money for users who, like me, never click on ads anyways. So I might as well block them then see them and never click.
Well, maybe not this way, but don't you think there should be a way to have websites earn some money
Of course. They are free to put ads. Or charge for access. But I am also free to block their ads.
Let's face it. People like you try to pretend that we block ads because they are annoying. But let's face it, we won't unblock them just because they stop flashing. We block them because we can, and it is perfectly legal to do so. Maybe if ads weren't so annoying, there would be less of us blocking them to begin with. But now that we have ad-blockers, and that we use them, we won't go back.
Can you imagine TV or radio with no ads?
Sure. I watch most of my stuff with no ads. I prefer paying for content than having ads. Also, I have the right (and use it) to mute/fast-forward/leave the room during TV ads. I don't feel bad about blocking ads, just like I don't feel bad muting TV or not reading ads in newspapers.
Freedom has a price. In Russia advertising has been outlawed for private TV
Really, this is the question Adblock Plus needs to answer. I want them to block as much ads as possible, with as little false-positive as possible, and all this on the most automatic/simple way as possible.
They succeed pretty well as long as I uncheck their "allow acceptable ads" setting. I still don't get why this setting exists to begin with.
Slashdot Mirror
yeah, all 2 of them were sold already.

People will buy more 16GB than 32GB, proving you wrong.
And the 128 GB 6P will not sell at all.
So you think that would stop the Chinese from spying on you if they wanted to?

No subsidies are needed when you internalize the costs of pollution associated with fossil fuel power plants.

There is no 2012 in your table. I am sure it was cheaper in October 2012 than it is now.

By the way, it's the trans-pacific deal. Not the Canada-EU deal. EU is not part of the deal.
Of course it's more expensive. Unlike the US and Europe, we do not directly subsidize our dairy producers.
Also Canadian milk tastes much better.
However how can a deal between rich countries such as Japan, Australia and the USA be reciprocal with countries like Vietnam were wages are low?
If they don't want to sell any phone again, then you are right.
They pay for both. But pay per display revenue is minimal.
Seems the obvious solution.
Or upload to youtube + share the link over email or whatever chat client you are using.
Where do you get these numbers from? The average paid is $28k for a Leaf, and under $26k is considered exceptionally good.

That was a quick Godwin.
Outside of the US, everyone already has it.

I think it looks more like a crossover, Toyota Venza / Honda Accord Crosstour - like.
