Performa!!!??? You really don't think they've recovered their brand since Performa ended? That was 14 years ago when Performa ENDED. I'm talking about Apple devaluing the brand they have right now.
"The Beats brand will remain intact," says the headline. But will the Apple brand remain intact? This is one of the most confidence-shaking moves we've seen since Jobs died. Isn't quality central to Apple's value proposition? Doesn't Beats have a poor quality reputation? Doesn't everybody know that Dre prefers Koss Portapros?
There's a new Battlestar Galactica? Disney came out with their Kimba movie starring Matthew Broderick? Wow, the future is AWESOME! Did they bring back Dr. Who?
Although I got the 1984 reference, I have no idea what ST:TNG you're talking about. I've still only seen two seasons. http://www.smbc-comics.com/ind...
"Newspeak" is a method of crippling public discourse and individual thought through the elimination of nuanced descriptive terms. This is NOT an example of it.
Agreed. Said fallacy was committed by "Currently Awake". He changed the subject when the topic "startups are helpless against force from the NSA" became "nothing American can be trusted".
I'm pretty sure every nation that has ever existed has claimed "freedom" as one of the attributes of its citizens. I've never heard of one that didn't. Can anyone help me out here?
Eurogamer's criticism seems legit, but begs the question, what constitutes a "mature" plot for a FPS? An 18 certificate doesn't imply a promise of maturity, does it?
Let me guess...YOU live in the nation with the trustworthy government, and your country's companies make nothing but the BEST. Also, your feces is fragrant, like flowers.
Your deep, abiding, Shatner-love has been noted, Coward. In the future, when Star Trek love is institutionalized as religion, your disembodied head will be assigned a suck-up role to Shatner's disembodied head, and you can promote interest in space exploration together. He may let you play with his medal.
Everybody who's seen Star Trek V knows this. We also know Spock kills God with a phaser, in accordance with the prophecies of the ancients. Then, Kirk will explain to a Romulan and a Klingon how maybe God wasn't out there anywhere at all, maybe he's right here (beats his own chest), "In the Human heart." And the Romulan and Klingon nod, like Kirk has said something wise. Hard to believe NASA gave Shatner a medal.
Thanks for the work. You're correct, I was taking a cheap potshot on a blurb for an article I did not read. The "Voila!" was supposed to cue the audience that I was kidding around.

Isn't quality central to Apple's value proposition?
No, and it hasn't been since the birth of the Performa line.

Is your problem with reading comprehension, or with basic logic? That is nothing like what I said.
Does phrasing an insult as a question while demonstrating your own problems with reading comprehension and logic amuse you, or me?

How did our Congress become such a bunch of administration brown-noses? Seriously. What is wrong with them?
You mean if you were in Congress, you wouldn't be afraid of the NSA? I'm afraid of them, and I'm just a regular guy with no power.
If you're an American, you can't be trusted, per the comment from Cheeky I'm objecting to. In this context, why should your comments be admissible?
You left out "opportunity" and "market".

The "Your mom" was a GIGO reply. Don't take it so seriously. Your perception of my character is far from the mark. Have another hit.
Dr. Jones
I happen to have that on Steam, and I will do so. Thanks.
Thanks!
Owww- are your feelings hurt?
Your mom.

The US Government is a corporate controlled criminal & terrorist network and your pathetic attempt to point fingers elsewhere will not change that.
All power corrupts, I'm not claiming exception, and you're a pathetic anonymous coward.
Let me guess...YOU live in the nation with the trustworthy government, and your country's companies make nothing but the BEST. Also, your feces is fragrant, like flowers.
...it will be the descendants of these microbes that kill us. But still, we go. Uuuuu-laaaaaa!
Do we get a turret and a gun in our new canister-shaped wheelchairs?

Wow. You're a name-calling meanie, you name-calling meanie.
I see you propose destruction for those who disagree with your view.
