Like Obama gives a rat's ass what the people of America think, even though we voted him into office, twice. Page out of Bush's handbook: continue torture, continue Gitmo, ignore the fucking economy, blow up more shit.
NBC Sunday night news showed some little Syrian girl asking obama how he'd like this to happen to his daughters. So they're trying to GUILT us into getting embroiled in their civil war? IT'S NOT OUR FUCKING PROBLEM. sucks to be you, little girl.
Neocon's wet dream is to redraw the lines of the middle east -- "Project for the New American Century". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_Century What will happen is we'll cement the power of the hyper-Islamists. big fucking mistake. the guys who invented this plan are TOOLS.
not our problem. In March the story was that the rebels had taken over a Syrian armory and gassed people. I'm not sure who we can trust, but frankly, it's not our fight -- the Syrians must win self-determination for themselves. If we didn't learn this lesson from Cuba, from Vietnam, and from Iraq, what will it take to understand that democracy is not a gift -- it is a hostage that must be taken.
or, Gates & Ballmer understood that web apps could destroy the need for a Windows operating system. which, in many cases, it finally has. GMail vs. Outlook, Google Docs vs. MS Office, Spotify vs. iTunes, Salesforce vs. a zillion proprietary non-web-based products... the examples are too many to mention.
and the old workstation design of the old Mac Pro still is one of the best PC designs EVER. 4 internal drive bays where the drives just slide into the SATA connectors - GENIUS. ram daughter cards are a dumb idea, but how many pc's have 8 slots for RAM? not nearly enough.
but the judge was wrong. companies should be free to set their own prices, and if apple has decided that they want all publishers to sell products for the same price, those companies are free to sell their wares with apple or elsewhere. just like with iTunes: when the labels did such a crappy job of managing MP3 sales for years, apple suggested a reasonable price, which became the industry standard. they weren't initially wielding any monopoly power -- it just happened to be the price that users were most willing to pay.
If Microsoft were divided into 4-5 separate companies, it wouldn't be difficult to find a CEO who could handle those individual pieces. The stockholders should be happy with the stock split, and the divisions that are used to competing against each other (http://www.wired.com/business/2013/08/steve-ballmer-steps-down/) would be free to work as hard as they want to develop their own products without being distracted by office politics.

I was bitten by a tick at a long-stay hotel. Promptly removed the tick, checked out, had to fight them for a refund. NEVER AGAIN will I stay at Extended Stay America Hotel.
It's providing the WRONG incentive. we should hold universities accountable for the QUALITY of their educational value, not for the economy of cost. I'd rather spend good money to be taught useful things than to save a little money and understand less about the world. Nevermind the practicality (earnings potential) of many majors (philosophy, the arts, etc).
not exactly. Miranda (Greenwald's partner) was the one who actually carried snowden's memory card and gave it to Greenwald. so the government wasn't just warning Greenwald that they'd go after his loved ones, they actually were harassing a guy who passed state secrets on to the press.
recall that newer MacBooks are glued together, so it was easier to destroy the entire computer to get to the drive, rather than to simply unscrew and remove the drive as one might do on a PC.

neither did copying Google. Microsoft has lost / invested $17B in Bing! (quoting Paul Thurrott)

neither care wtf congress wants, they both prefer America to act alone on orders of the President/Dictator.

didn't Bill Gates steal some of the code used in Microsoft Basic?
Word 4 for MacOS was a masterpiece. the only feature they've added since then that I've needed was hyperlinking, in version 5.

don't forget WinME and Bob. Sometimes Microsoft has TERRIBLE ideas that anyone with half a brain could say, "no, don't make that product."

The Guardian could have said "No" and taken the government to court, but it didn't. They're a bunch of wankers.
I wish they would lock up every moronic weed smoker.

fuck you. fuck you very much. the last thing i need is more bullshit in my "employment feed". and to compete for jobs with teenagers.

ah yes, DARPA funded the Internet, so of course they'll be funding the Singularity.
I'm just waiting for Obama to ban books and for Mitch McConnell to rally up the Tea Party to create a group of Firemen.
