Challenge to your assertion: have, in the past, been periods with much higher concentrations of CO2 and simultaneously a thriving ecosystem?
(The answer is 'yes')
Would you have been able to live there? The answer is "NO", unless of course you are a small rodent or a dinosaur - considering you're a science denier, you are probably both.
Not as impressive as your reading comprehension skills. Or do you want to point me to an Android phone on the market that is banned from airplanes?
So they pulled an Android phone from the market because it was banned from airplanes (among other things) - and that proves the whole thing never happened? Hello, Mr. President.
Apple sold almost exactly the same number of phones as last year. Unless you think they can keep increasing the price of their phones or somehow makeup for the loss of unit growth by selling billions in services then the profit growth for the company is nearing its end.
They sold 2.9% more, when the whole market for smartphones was flat or even down. There were several stories on Slashdot that concluded from this "Peak Smartphone" that Apple's sales of iPhones would be down.
* While $400K is a large amount of money to normal people, compared to the money that Trump is making from his position, for example by charging his own security protect him, it's much less than the actual amount of money he will be making (stealing for tax payers) each year.
The point was more that these $400K are exactly the (base) salary he's "refusing" - in less time. Unless of course he made a deal he would get paid better (and then not) than other presidents.
By charging the tax payer extra money so the people whose job it is to give their life for him are able to follow his lazy ass around.
Traditional recycling: I'll sell my old iphone to someone who wants it.
This recycling: I'll give back my device to apple, feeling good in the process, so apple can sell more brand new devices, eliminating the 2nd hand market.
This recycling in your mind. In reality: You'll sell your iPhone to somebody, who will sell it to somebody, who will giver it to their grandma - and they will still get iOS updates. And then they will give it to Apple. Reality check: this is no Android POS phone.
They're also putting some of the poorest people in the world out of work with automation with this robot.
No they aren't. Most iPhones are made in Shenzhen, which is one of the most prosperous cities in China, and one of the most rapidly growing cities in the world.
I*m pretty sure he wasn't talking about the place of production, but the usual place of "recycling" for electronic waste - some polluted dump in a third world country packed with some children who'll never make it to thirty. Of course nobody ever saw an Apple product at such a place, only CRT monitors and 2 year old Android phones.
Just to be factual, Trump has publicly donated his salary from his first 15 months back to various government departments. I would strongly suspect it's because $100k is a pretty cheap price for Trump to gather a crowed of people to coo and ahh over his "generosity" and to praise him. You see, Trump is not all about the money, he's actually not very good a making money compared to other business people (Paris Hilton and the Olson Twins seem to be quite a bit better at it, for example), Trump is all about his ego.
Is this the same Trump that has the Secret Service pay for the golf carts the agents use while they protect Trump at his own golf courses? That alone resulted to more than $135k in the first 9 months of his presidency. And that went into Trump*s pockets.
The patent was found clear and genuine in every single way.
The only bad thing is that Apple tried to get away with it.
Errm, nope. The Texas court said Apple violated the patents, assuming (but not deciding) wether the patents were valid. The Patent Trial and Appeal Board has said the patents are invalid, in cases that are currently before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington. If those cases are confirmed, this Texas verdict becomes meaningless, because you can't violate invalid patents.
That's right, the officers and shareholders should; individually.
Sure. And then people will incorporate themselves to avoid paying those taxes.
How is that supposed to work, exactly? If they incorporate, they'll be a shareholder in the new corporation, and thus liable for the taxes on the corporation's holdings. Ergo, this is not a viable path to tax avoidance.
Are you pretending that the OPs actually meant that the corporation would still be taxed, just that it wouldn't pay the taxes itself, but the shareholders would pay those taxes for the corporation? Yeah, that would make things easier.

Nobody copies Apple! Well, HTC seems to pretend their next big thing is made of iPhone 6 parts

Fingerprint scanning through the screen. I would have thought that was obvious from the context.
Yeah, there clearly was a phone rushed to market to meet a deadline (CES) - and you just linked to it.

Hah-Hah.
He wanted to find out if he had any famous rapists in his ancestry.
This is the good side of DNA databases. This data can also be abused.
While the end result is positive for society, this is already abuse.

It's spelled Murphy's, you moron.
No, it isn't.
Oh no. apple phones get dumped into a magical special part of a much nicer third world country.
Yes - that third world country is called the USA.
More prove that Fandroids hate reality and recycling.

Eric Schmidt: Google TV on 'majority' of new TVs by summer 2012 - I bet Apple would like successes like that for change instead of failures like Home Pod.
On a different note: why do Americans want to know the name of the victim?
Boeing does not make engines. They choose another manufacturer at time of order. It’s probably GE, RR, or P&W.
Yeah, Boeing isn't responsible for the engines it puts in their planes - only Airbus is. Ughn.
Well of course he knows. Q is omnipotent. I'm just puzzled why he's here in 2018 instead of messing with Starfleet officers in the future.
It's because Nero changed future history, and Picard is now (or rather will be) the sexy counsellor on the USS GaySulu.
The Apple PR machine is really in full swing.

What*s the percentage of original content in the Netflix catalogue. I doubt it's anywhere near the 20% it generates in revenue.
That's right, the officers and shareholders should; individually.
Sure. And then people will incorporate themselves to avoid paying those taxes. Only if they have enough money to afford it. of course.

Only Apple drops old hardware.
