selection bias. if you limit your pool to MJ users to are in ivy league schools, of course the MJ users are a smart bunch. but if you expand your pool to all MJ users, my statement above still stands.
we're off the gold system, where metal coins were a store of value, linked to the market price of the metal in the coin. They're just representations of value, like glass beads or deer vertebras. it doesn't really matter how expensive they are, that doesn't affect their value. I'm not going to shed tears, considering all the ways that the US gov currently wastes money. Did you know that Donald J Trump has a full secret service retinue, bought and paid for by the taxpayers?
you have to realize that apple can't win in this scenario. if they had made the 4s ineligble for the update, then people would be screaming about forced obsolencence and upgrades. but if they include it, then people complain that it doesn't run as well as on new phones.
I wouldn't worry about the en-route slow boat. They may all be dead anyway so how would you know. Instead if spend the money on a legit welcome celebration for when/if they arrive.
I find it hard to believe that iOS would be listed with 375 vulnerabilities, but android would be listed with 130 vulnerabilities. Everybody knows that android is insecure as shizz. Something is fishy here.
The difference is that a Wii U purchased in 2015 is the exact same specifications as a Wii U from 2012. While an iPhone purchase today as in OM faster than an iPhone from 2012. Compare the two laptop/desktop, where the speed improvements have been much more incremental over that time period.
So it makes sense that Apple would design today's software to take advantage of today's hardware speeds.
I partially agree with you here⦠I agree the problem is that Apple doesn't allow people to roll back, so by the time they discovered that performance of slow under iOS 9 they are not able to go back to iOS 8. However Idon't think that liquidated damages (cash money) are appropriate here. If Apple just updated their software to enable wrote back, I think everyone would be square.
You really think that Apple is going to change their product line for you or some country? Most likely they'll just include one of these in the box, resulting in even more waste. Apple is more powerful than any country and will do what it wants. Worst case the Swiss will have to buy crappy androids!
Some people disagree, and they choose to invest their $$$s in exploring other solutions. Who are you (or the Swiss govt) to tell somebody else what they choose to sell?
> There are people that don't want to carry half a dozen different chargers around just because they have so many devices.
I a vibrant market, consumers can choose whichever phone suits their preferences, including charger designation. No need for govt interference.
> If the companies are to dumb to realize that then the government has to force them.
If it truly is a dumb thing, then companies will adjust and/or exit the market. No need for govt interference.
It's worthwhile to note that Apple has sold nearly a billion units, so their 'propeietary' chargers are a de facto standard. Apple chargers are sold by dozens ov vendors at prices as low as a couple bucks.

> After taking environmental factors into account, the scientists found no measurable link between marijuana use and lower IQ.
While MJ may not lower IQ, from the people I have met there is a strong correlation between MJ and low IQ.
Oddly accurate.
Surprisingly on-point.
yesterday it occurred to me that maybe I should think about voting for bernie. I'm feelin the bern!
they better bring flashlights.

looooool!

I can't RTFA because my ad filter is blocking some of the components to make the site legible. So in other words, the ad filter is doing its job.
Dude your analogy makes no sense whatsoever.

I said the same thing above.

Maybe you shouldn't have updated? Why would you think that soft were made in 2015 would run perfectly on hardware made in 2012?

Who cares? So what if a couple apple-yards want to throw themselves into a pit of incompatibility? Why is this something that needs govt intervention?
Weve definitely lost the moral high ground.

Several standards can coexist...

Lool naive. Govt serves the interests of govt.
