"The success of the iPhone is starting plateau and ultimately decrease now that consumers are finding less of a reason to upgrade to the latest and greatest smartphone."
That's not even a sentence!
Try it this way:
The success of the iPhone is starting to plateau and will ultimately decrease now that consumers are finding fewer reasons to upgrade to the latest and greatest smartphone.
Try it this way: The success of the smartphone is starting to plateau and will ultimately decrease now that consumers are finding fewer reasons to upgrade to the latest and greatest smartphone.
Given that one of the reasons Apple Maps is entirely useless is that the directions it gives include going the wrong way down one-way streets and driving off overpasses onto the road they pass over, Apple's self-driving car is a disaster in waiting.
That's odd, because actually it's Google Maps that full of these bugs, telling people to turn left or U-turn were you aren't allowed to, or sending them over private property and bus-only streets.
As opposed to the claims that everything around Tchernobyl is just dandy, in fact much better than before that gets thrown around in every discussion about nuclear power on Slashdot?
"Mice with additional buttons work fine provided you have an appropriate driver for them, just like on Windows."
I don't even need drivers in Windows.
You probably haven't notice that Windows tends to actually installs drivers from the net every other time you plug in a more-than-three-button mouse. At least when moving between docking stations at work it does. And that's when it actually detects USB mouse and keyboard for a change.
I'm not cherry picking these... that is the oldest temp from that station and the most recent temp posted into the website from that station.
Jesus Christ. "That station"? The one and only Downtown LA station that quite obviously moved from "WBO" to USC Campus? With all your acute recognitional skills that tell you the climate was "the same", yet you didn't see that? [facepalm]
Ohh, and is there a special reason why you used 2013 data when 2015 is available?
Last but not least, look at the second graph on each page.
The second chart down shows the day-to-day mean temperature anomalies (daily mean temperature less the corresponding long-term climatological mean). Vertical lines extending upward from the zero line indicate above average means for the day (colored red), those extending downward indicate below average daily means (colored blue). In general, the most extreme departures for Downtown Los Angeles are positive, reflecting to a large extent the occurrence of warming offshore flow episodes.
What the fuck, do you actually believe an industrial robot costs several million bucks a piece? Every year? What does the cost of a production facility (ignoring that it is in a barely related industry) have to do with the cost of a recycling facility? A junk yard cost orders of magnitude less than a car plant.
You realize the "I can see Russia from my house" quote was not Palin but an SNL skit, right?
The fun part is that what she actually said and what led to that made up quote is much more hilarious, but much to long to quote both because of the incoherency of her speech. Just two little bit from that interview: "our next door neighbors are foreign countries" and "Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where— where do they go?"
I expected mighty martian to respond. I guess I didn't read him right, that's too bad.
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I'd like to assure you, I'm not lazy. Clearly you don't know me and that's fine. Look at my comments for about the past 10 years or so. You'll find all kinds of discussions.
Do yourself a favor, hit the link you sent to me and look at the results. You didn't look, did you? This one has a rundown of a bunch of them:
http://climatechangeeducation.... . They even show why the mythbusters demo wasn't done correctly.
So you look at their page where they show that simple demonstrations aren't truly scientific and ignore the page where they present scientifically sound experiments? Really?
Things rightwingers believe:
There is some mysterious force preventing our raising atmospheric CO2 content from increasing the earth's temperature as well defined and established physical mechanisms would cause
There is some mysterious force raising the earth's temperature, in parallel with our raising atmospheric CO2 content.
Whoa, hold on. The usual story I hear from deniers is that the Earth's temperature is NOT rising, that these are all politically-funded manipulations of faulty data. A very few might believe that AGW is actually happening, but blame volcanoes or otherwise be unsure of what causes it, but doubt mankind's culpability. I don't think that line of thinking if very mainstream in denier circles though; I thought they were generally more hardcore.
Well, almost all "scetics" have at least once used the "but CO2 is following warming, not causing it" argument. Which means it must be warming (caused by said mysterious force) so we can explain the rising CO2 levels, which are not caused by burning fossil fuels.
Nobody ever claimed the arguments of the "sceptics" are mutually consistent.
Brian May, we all know as the guitarist of Queen, completed a BS degree in Physics at Imperial College London. He did thesis work toward the Ph.D. in Astronomy in the early 70s and shared co-authorship on two papers.
In October 2006, he returned to Imperial and completed his Ph.D. thesis and was awarded the degree, Doctor of Philosophy in Astronomy. Therefore, Mr Brian May, has earned the title, Dr.,
Is Dr. Brian May, a Scientist?
Wrong question - it should be: Is Sarah Palin just as much a Scientist as Dr. Brian May?
Case in point: the fact that a few inches of snow in the middle of "winter" utterly confuses drivers is supposed to be evidence that snow fall happens just as regular as in the past?

Without good ideas, money is useless.
But with no ideas and no money, things are looking just fine for the competition.

Could be worse though, Apple could have anybody else as a CEO.
FTFY
I'm the IT guy for the fast-foot restraunt across the street from Apple's main campus.
BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse, Bagel Street Cafe or Outback Steakhouse? Hrrm, none of them look like a "fast-foot restraunt".
leaving the masses to make up the missing money the mega-corps, oligarchs and elites avoid paying.
Go to the database, and look for the taxes paid. http://www.siliconvalley.com/business/ci_29798925
The pictures are indeed quite deceiving.

According to MacRumors (and presumably, Apple) and this image: http://cdn.macrumors.com/artic...
Mac Net Sales apparently accounts for just 9 PERCENT of Apple's revenues.
In other words, its Apple's second largest source of revenue, alone bigger than Oracle.

Hmmm, "launchd" is awfully close to the spelling of "systemd", should I be concerned and/or outraged?
Depends on what you want to achieve. If it helps your decision, launchd is 10 years old, systemd only 5.

They sure noticed something. You didn't.
You and I would. Everyone else would switch to Samsung.

If he was sued and personally held liable for his repeating other's lies about the climate he'd quit instantly.
Yeah, but Palin would continue to lie - because she gets paid to.
Also, deflategate, he got the ideal gas law all wrong, and made an ass out of himself claiming that the ball couldn't have lost pressure.

I'll just leave that as is.
Anyone who thinks sea rise is flooding Miami and can't work out the logical problems with the statement, isn't worth explaining to.
What are supposed to be the logical problem with that? Is there an invisible wall that prevents that? Do laws of nature not apply in Miami?

A politician and an educator are not comparable.
Yeah - an educator is more important.
"Speculation" based on false premises and massively over-estimated numbers is fucking making stuff up. Stop it.
