It's hard to tell the difference these days between an outrageous Romney lie or a joke so I can see why he might take the windows on airplanes statement seriously.
In the age of new $400 laptops, who rents a computer for home use? Rental companies (furniture, appliances, etc) are like payday loan companies: their sole purpose is to prey on the poor and uninformed. The profit is in penalties and reclaiming the product to lease to the next sucker. These transactions are designed to fail and trap the unsuspecting.
"The fight, the cause of which was under investigation, erupted Sunday night at a privately managed dormitory near a Foxconn Technology Group factory in the northern city of Taiyuan"
"The violence did not appear to be work-related"
The anti-Apple hysteria on/. has gone nuclear, and now any disturbance on the planet is attributed to one company. Crazy.
The anti-Apple freaks have really gone over the deep end.
In this story alone we have posts claiming settlement money is needed to keep Apple afloat and Apple are terrorists. Do you actually believe such over the top counter factual babbling will convince anyone of anything?
Spent $700 for this phone and use google maps a lot, so fuck you Apple.
You are very passionate about your phone. I don't think I could muster that kind of rage, even though I agree Apple's first pass on a map app is flawed. They made a calculation that they needed their own app to add features without restrictions from a direct competitor. I agree with that calculation. Clearly they miscalculated the time to make an adequate replacement for Google maps. They have the money, talent and will to make it right and I have confidence that will happen.
If Microsoft offers a better deal for subscriptions than a perpetual license, people will take it. My guess is Microsoft will use subscriptions as a shell game to extract more money from consumers, which is not a better deal.
I'm sorry your delicate sensibilities were offended by an article about the new iPhone on a tech site. My understanding is there are mechanisms available to filter out the news you are incapable of handling.
I have friends who hate the 1984 Dune with a passion, but I always had a soft spot for it. Yes, it had cheesy parts. But it also had David Lynch freakery, Patrick Stewart and Sting as the prancing bad boy ("I will kill you!"). Just thinking about it makes me laugh these decades later.
Limited water supply is a problem in central Texas with restrictions and rationing becoming more frequent. Fortunately this seaweed farm is small. There have been other water intensive operations that have been shutdown, like a catfish farm outside of San Antonio that wastefully used tens of millions of gallons each year from the aquifer. It was only shutdown because they were discharging water into the rivers without a permit. The Rice farmers on the coast have been getting large releases every year from the lakes though the Colorado river, but not this year due to drought.
Some places are not suitable for water intensive uses.
Romney: "When you give a speech you don't go through a laundry list, you talk about the things you think are important"
Not the best phrasing, but it's clear even to me as an Obama supporter that he means the speech was crafted to highlight points that would be advantageous to his campaign. The game of pretending your opponent meant something he clearly did not is not very persuasive to people not already on your side.
I might as well say the iPhone 6 will support Firewire 1600.
Apple has not released detailed technical specifications for the iPhone 6 battery, so it's safe to assume it will be powered by the blood of innocent children. How can Apple get away with powering phones with the blood of innocent children? Those damned hipsters who only buy Apple as a fashion statement have blood on their hands!
Average people all need new mobile phones and x-boxes, when they could have pooled that money for space exploration. CEOs and politicians make easy targets.
Here's an eye patch Bruce, aaarrrrrr... join the crew and plunder to your hearts content. You don't seem ethically constrained by the agreement you entered into, so why not go full pirate?
Your post does not make sense, which is not surprising when Ayn Rand is invoked. Is the GNOME community not creating anything? Did Linux kernel programmers create GNOME? Was the Linux kernel the work of one man?
FSM followers go to the Great Pasta Bowl where they enjoy enjoy stripper factories & beer volcanoes for all eternity. Steve Jobs might make a guest appearance as a meatball.
...cut regulation and cut government taxation and spending
Then you can have Silicon Road Warrior: "Greetings from The Humungus! The Lord Humungus! The Warrior of the Wasteland! The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla!"

Is old Bill in there?
No, but the young Bill is.
Pose him with a Galaxy S3 in hand.
Eating bacon.
...Steve's inclinations with regard to recreational substances
From photos of Steve, I would guess pizza is his recreational substance of choice.
In the crazed world of the anti-Apple freak, all articles lead to Apple.
From the Washington Post:
"The fight, the cause of which was under investigation, erupted Sunday night at a privately managed dormitory near a Foxconn Technology Group factory in the northern city of Taiyuan"
"The violence did not appear to be work-related"

Here you go! We're through being cool.
The Fellowship of the Rings should be taught in science class along side the [derisive tone] "theory" of evolution. Precious.
They should have demanded Smurfberries.
