I found the comment unbelievably condescending. People keep their entire lives on their phones and for Obama to dismiss it as a minor life accessory shows how tone deaf he is on the entire privacy/encryption matter.
As FA Hayek said about economics but equally applicable here, the notion that we can deduce there's only one Earth from our current level of understanding about the world's complexity is in a word, absurd.
The man is described as always being the smartest guy in the room yet nearly every major position he's taken on the economy has been wrong, like 180 degrees wrong. The most recent and damaging was his staunch support and very active role in the deregulation of financial derivatives.
Why offer more built-in storage if the vast number of users aren't asking for it? That only serves to add unnecessary cost to the manufacturing platform. The SD slot is a perfectly viable solution for those users needing more room.
If you desire to live in a desirable place then find a job where the utility you provide your employer is higher than the utility you're providing Yelp in your current position.
Think of it as a three-legged stool. The first leg is to mete out feature and function improvements so that each new model has just enough goodness to entice an upgrade. The second leg is to release iOS updates that run so slowly on existing models that users are forced to upgrade just to restore the relative performance they used to get on their current phones. The third leg is to charge exorbitant prices for authorized repairs while making it impossible for third-parties to provide affordable repair services.
This strategy is designed to gently encourage and then forcibly coerce users to keep upgrading their phones.
The line between tax avoidance and evasion is exceedingly thin for the aggressive tax strategies these companies employ. I was being generous by using the term avoidance.

Nearly every major industry in the Chinese economy has been subsidized by the government, esp those related to exports.

Let's save it for Monday.
If support costs were Microsoft motivation then they could have just stuck with Windows 7 and kept collecting their OEM licensing checks.
Everybody knows Windows isn't even worth free.
They don't know anything about programming and even less about security.
And so he really can crack the iPhone's security.
Since our money could be put to such better use subsidizing corrupt, power-hungry politicians.
Because as of today there will probably be one less employee on it.
Existing Blackberry customers will see the Priv for what it is - end of life for BB10.
So they've removed their own horse from the race.

If shutting the plant down stops the flow doesn't that by definition mean that it's controllable?

I'm normally an aggressive tech upgrader but didn't see anything in the G4 worthy of an upgrade and these G5 specs don't excite me either.
And next week's new "feature". This is how the new Microsoft rolls out unpopular policy and feature changes.
Searching for IP address...please stand by.
He's good at that.

They can't even predict what'll happen in the next few months let alone ten years:
