I have to repeat this again because it's the best advice and was modded down. The golden rule still applies regardless: You only care about your employer as much as they care about you.
He rolled out those candy-colored, all-in-one iMacs and simplified the product line.
If I remember correctly, another reason why these iMacs became so popular was the option to lease. Many college students and small businesses took advantage of this.
...I somewhat regret the comment at this point, and I wasn't criticising him, actually; I was annoyed that they didn't mention more of those products specifically because I thought they were deserving of more attention. But, hey, I completely misread it anyway, since I skipped over the half of the list. Yay, leaky memory.
You mean, kind of like an "amnesiac, moronic little squirrel"?;)
Is there a governing body testing the safety and quality of electronic medical devices? According to this BBC documentary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3BBjzVQhe0 , there isn't for medical utensils. Is it the same for electronic devices?
What the hell? Spoken like a ignorant stereotype of Americans. At what point, exactly did the US government EVER give fuck all about artistic, philosophical, and scientific endeavors? The only reason NASA was funded in the first place was the Space Race. Afterwards science was funded out of pure selfishness, in order to be #1.
You will probably have to stretch a little farther back to discover U.S. politicians reverence of artistic and scientific pursuits. Let me pull one strange character from our history books: William Hope Harvey. In his own words:
"... The record of ancient civilizations which we have unearthed do not tell the merits and demerits of those civilizations, the struggles of those people and why they fell. The Pyramid to be erected here will contain all such records. Upon opening the Pyramid and reading the documents contained therein, mankind thousands of years hence will learn of the railroads, the telegraph, the linotype, the flying machine and of the circulation of the blood through the human body, all discoveries of the last 400 years...."
"... Wonderful discoveries have been made by this civilization in a knowledge of the universe and in the sciences as applied to the human anatomy and industries, but comparatively few in statesmanship and non in the study of civilization as a science. Upon the mastery of this latter depends the perfection of a civilization. Nothing less than this in the mental and soul structure embraces this all import divine knowledge.
"... This purpose of the Pyramid is as stated and the person no one will be entombed therein. There will be nothing about it that partakes of self or vanity and no one's name will appear on the outside of it. The only inscription will be what appears on the metal plates.
In short, there are thousands more from the 19th century. You may need to find their accounts in books; you won't find much on Google. One thing is certain, they do not resemble our politicians today.
As a US citizen, it is remarkably easy to travel around the world. I suggest trying. World travel is a great enlightened - you see exactly how fucked-up the rest of the world is. In addition lots and lots of Americans can't stand living anywhere but America. The food is all wrong, the climate is uncomfortable, the locals constantly scheme and cheat foreigners, I could go on and on.
I thought you said it was remarkably easy?;) I am currently abroad and have experienced all the pitfalls. Some places are far worse than others (i.e. being robbed by the police, extorted.)
According to my French friends (I've lived out of America for 10 years now BTW) the France of today is a shadow of what it once was.
I can understand your French friends; these aren't the days of 19th century France before the wars. France never seemed to fully recover from them.
If you don't like America, I suggest getting the fuck out and stop complaining. I think you will very quickly find that you hate it. Most Americans do. If not, then welcome to the tiny community of Americans who live abroad and love it.
If you've traveled extensively, are there cultures you'd recommend? And in which countries/regions are you able to obtain long-term visas? What are your thoughts? I hear good things about Berlin and Tokyo.
It should be obvious that there are a lot of reasons besides poverty to prefer other smart phones over Apple phones.
I wasn't suggesting as such. Only whether the majority could *afford* an iPhone. I saw documentaries and reports showing Chinese factory workers who had never even seen their end product nor could they ever dream of owning one.
Do you know what are the price points for smart phones in China?
Can we give the NSA, DHS, CIA budget to NASA? You know, let's do something as a people. The only difference between the U.S. and other great empires, is that the U.S. government and leaders give fuck all about artistic, philosophical, and scientific endeavors. You know, the stuff that gives us dignity as a people. They use to. Or at least pretended to.
Man, do I oft times wish I lived in a different culture. I'm sick of this fascist corporate utilitarianism. What's the progress? The only thing the U.S. gave to the world was done by our impoverished and enslaved. Now, we can't even have viable land to grow for our personal needs.
France could sound cool; you have to give props to a culture that created Joan of Arc. What current cultures are there that welcome such endeavors? Really, I want to know.
I would vote flowers. Think of recording the exposure of plant life on the surface of Europa; a demonstration of the resiliency of life. If anything else, the footage would be absolutely beautiful and fantastic.
I agree with your message but its lacking in rationale. Beliefs and thoughts about our origin is not comparable to "camping sets your clock straight". Everyone knows this *innately* as living beings. Or are professors and scholars less living than others and not in tune with their innate needs?
Really, are you backing this as a legitimate study? Sure, they may have followed scientific method; but there are no results. The best outcome of such a study gives a foundation for someone else to work upon -- unlikely since there is nothing to work off of. The worst case scenario, is that you make the scientific community look like apes throwing their own feces and wasting resources.
The scientific method is just a method and isn't an end all to truth. Truth can also be discovered in other means and methods.
This study is soft science at best. It's bullshit and idiotic.
This is true. But in some cases they actually do. There are manufacturing plants in the U.S. that function in this way. They remained profitable throughout the recession.
These are old machines that aren't capable of upgrading to a more recent version of Windows. The hardware requirements from XP to Vista were to great that no one bothered. XP will still be used well past its expiration point and many will be using linux after.
Further, what percentage of these machines are running pirated copies of WinXP? I know in Latin and South America, they're almost all pirated. How is it in China?
And whats up with referencing Net Applications? I haven't stumbled upon a site using their analytics since the 1990s.
You seem to think that this is some experiment. When in actually, employee-owned companies are the most stable and oft times most profitable like John Lewis Partnership. http://www.johnlewispartnership.co.uk/
The method I use is to put the sick fish into a small container and add a little bit of clove oil, which causes them to become lethargic and go into sleep mode. Afterward, alcohol is added, vodka or whatever,
Obviously, sleeping closer to stars and waking up to chickens is going to set you straight. After all, there are no blinds to pull over the dawn. If all else fails, that badger in your sleeping bag will make sure you don't oversleep and miss brunch.
How much money was invested to realize what was innate for someone who grew up in a rural area? What's the point of this? "Scientific" studies are being made to discover why you shouldn't scratch, itch, or not blink. Maybe we'll hear about why bathing is good for us? Dumb monkeys. Can we stop this era of bullshit?
This makes want to stick my eye with a syringe full of mercury. Maybe I'll catch something like a cold or invent calculus.

You are the one who is shady. I have walked out on a job because of sexual harassment. Was it provable, no. Would the former employer admit to it, no.
Nice high rode you got there, dumbfuck. Be a better employer and associate and business and employees wouldn't leave.
I have to repeat this again because it's the best advice and was modded down. The golden rule still applies regardless: You only care about your employer as much as they care about you.

Clicked. Damn you. Now there isn't enough drugs in the world to make me forget.
I have 24 k items, mostly lossless audio
You have "24 k" items? I guess you could say that your music collection was...
(puts on sunglasses) ...solid gold.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!
There isn't enough cocaine in the world to make me click on that link.
Ahem, are you referring to this guy? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sforhbLiwLA
It was a good laugh!

Specialist, indeed. They will need 3 PMs, 2 lawyers, and a 100 page report detailing the requirements and methodologies of implementing a button.
Thanks for the info.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought people were starving in China and a very few (1%) can actually afford an iPhone or a new computer.
There's a joke in their somewhere if you're brazen enough to make it.

You are comparing a Boston newspaper with a cable television entertainment conglomerate?
That doesn't compute.
I won't even begin to approach how off your analysis of Fox News is.
Now I am hungry.
With motox, you'll always be caught smiling.
