It was the $2-$3 per day for service that got me. The US cell industry is crazy. I pay $12 a month 5GB of data and unlimited talk and SMS. And the 5GB rolls over, as I personally never get close to using it. If I needed "unlimited" I could get that plan for about $30.
iPhones hold their value well, though. A two year old phone typically recovers more than half its cost when selling, which is pretty good considering it gets used every day many times per day.
And the Apple two year payment plan is interest-free and the phone comes unlocked. So why not? And it comes with the option of trading it in after one year. I suspect, though, that that is going to cause some friction among Apple's most loyal buyers, because the X is not going to ship in quantity for some time, and so the trade in makes little sense economically as they'd have paid for perhaps 15 months already. i wouldn't be surprised if Apple makes some sort of accommodation there.
Everyone knows the only way the pyramids could have been built was with the help of ancient aliens.
Why would the aliens necessarily be ancient? Maybe they were just alien kids playing with blocks, and now that they've grown up they've moved on to other worlds.
i.e. exercising their Constitutional Right of Free Speech.
Nobody's saying they should go to jail or have the government stop them. But free speech does not mean there can be no consequences. If the NFL wanted to fire them they could, within the bounds of whatever their contract is. They also can choose to not do anything or even support it. But that has nothing to do with their "Constitutional Right of Free Speech".
The people saying it's disrespectful are also exercising their rights. For what it's worth, I think they don't understand, or choose not to understand, what the players' protest is actually about. And for what its worth I think Trump is a dangerous lunatic who should not be in charge of anything. But defending the players by saying "it's their right" is missing the point.
that there are ways of paying for things other than parting with cash.
So paying then. The poster didn't mention cash, you did. And then you used your own extrapolation to explain why the poster is so naive. I'd say the lack of basic understanding is not quite where you placed it.
It assumes an equal amount of social or intellectual positions will be eventually created and some smooth transition of the working populace to these new careers.
Plus it assumes that people will be smart enough and capable enough to actually do those jobs. I think we're already bumping up against that ceiling. The machines are going to take over and there's no stopping it. Humans will just be a tiny blip on the evolutionary landscape.
good point. Didn't; occur to me, because...who gets phone calls anymore? But you're right. However, since clearly the third state is already in there and supported, Apple just needs to (and should) make it a three state switch for each of bluetooth and wifi.
I had always heard the lower accuracy from gps was a government imposed restriction or limitations of the protocols not a technical one. is that simply an old myth?
The stink of Android desperation is all over these silly objections lately. First of all nobody's being photographed. It's an IR sensor on the front of the phone. Second, nobody walking past can cause it to unlock. Not even the owner of the phone can do that. Third, your 50,000 number is wrong. It's 1,000,000, and that's for a person actually attempting to unlock it.

The $725 is misleading. Their flagship Note 8 goes for over $900.
And by "make" they mean revenue, not profit. Those displays are not cheap to manufacture.

Mod down for what? Laziness? It's not off-topic, it's not redundant.
So you're not disputing the dangerous lunatic part?
Yeah, that was sarcasm.
I wasn't converting, I was quoting the original source of the information, which gave the land area as 17.5 hectares.

He set up an internal university.
Now, have there been six extinctions or only five? To tell you the truth, in all this evolution I've kinda lost track myself.

The real question is just how many seconds after hitting the Submit button did you realize that is not a good example?
Without data there is no science. And oil too is only good if you can do something with it.
I'll bet they don't feel lucky.
Got a bee in your bonnet, do you?

Not a very good one anyway.
Look, this isn't an argument.
Do fitbit or any of the other device makers mention wrist tattoos? Does anyone? Have you posted about that somewhere?

It used to be true. It wasn't a secret, and discontinued in 2000.
