It's a place similar to the Monty Python sketch where people go for abuse or an argument. "Don't give me that, you snotty-faced heap of parrot droppings!"

Does this add anything to your argument? I agree with what you said before, but that bit left me with the impression that you are unstable with an uninformed view of people who disagree with you.
That's a good point. The centralized and sometimes seemingly arbitrary approval process leaves Apple open to charges of political meddling regardless of what they do. A bit of free publicity could be had as simply as submitting a "candidate specific" app that violates some Apple terms and then run to the press complaining about corporate interference.
I'm happy enough with my Rick Perry ring tone (pew pew! I'm a straight shooter... pew pew! I'm a straight shooter...), and don't see the need for a native app.
To be fair, I think most men are uncomfortable with the idea of being held responsible for the actions of their wives;-) Mary can burn in her own hell, based on her merits.
At least that "tree hugger" checked out before he could do more damage to global progress. To paraphrase the lyrics to "George of the Jungle", (bite my ass copyright thugs): "...look out for that tree!"
It is based on visions of un-congested roads, plentiful parking and cheap gas. That is not reality for most drivers who find driving an unwieldy gas guzzling behemoth is an unhappy burden.
Apple has engaged in sleazy business practices, just like their competitors. Apple has turned out some dud products, just like their competitors.
That said, do you truly believe Apple is stupid enough to turn out a product so obviously DOA in the TV market? From your original post: "...only lets you watch content approved by Apple"
You won't regret it. Mine works great as a media server and HTPC using Plex. It's attractive, small, silent and easy to setup and maintain. I added a 1TB 2.5" USB drive for media storage. I ended up getting a bluetooth keyboard and magic pad for the coffee table, though between the iPad remote app and a harmony universal remote that isn't really necessary. As an added bonus, I purchased the G-Force and Aeon visualizers for iTunes which look great on the TV while playing music. Everything is backed up automatically via Time Machine to a remote 3TB drive.
I am totally satisfied and am still amazed at how far we've come from the old days of manually perusing through a collection of optical media to select something to listen to or watch.
Publishers, stop acting like you sell paper. You don't. You sell content. Act like it.
They license content. Selling implies the buyer ends up owning something. Apparently only corporate persons are allowed to own information and ideas, meat persons are only allowed to rent (ideally on a per use basis).
To the penchant for destabilising democratically elected governments and installing puppet dictators in order to acquire resources and dominate regions militarily.
It was the peer pressure... all the cool kids had colonial empires and we wanted to be cool too. But before we could find acceptance, fashion changed and the US is now wearing the equivalent of global bell bottoms.
Shine on you crazy diamond. Since employers are turning to blinking life clocks as a measure of worth, might as well be someplace people place a higher value on you. Unless your spouse is an asshole and your children are horrible monsters, in which case a few more waning years at Carousel Inc doesn't sound so bad. YMMV.

Being entertained by TV makes people placid and easily controlled.
Emperor PulpTV: Now witness the firepower of this fully ARMED and OPERATIONAL TV station!
I will vote for me.
Forever alone... *sniff*

Belarus is a dictatorship with a history of human rights abuse.
Well, you certainly don't minsk words.
"Dr. Won-Young Kim... said that a problem could arise if fluid moves through the ground and affects a weak fault, waiting to be triggered."
An accurate quote from the article, good start.
...fear-mongering re "weak fault[s], waiting to be triggered" a la doomsday flicks
A baseless assertion twisting an informed statement of fact into something it's not. Fail.

I really don't get this love of the giant cars.

If it helps with the spam problem, I'm willing to give it a shot.

I always got a kick out of the "Belt Buster" name at Dairy Queen: Eat this and you will become such a fat ass that you can't wear clothes!

I don't know about Ken, but I gave this a try and really do feel better.
Why does is there such a hatred of air conditioning?
Nobody who lives in a hot and/or humid environment hates AC. Those who don't live in such an environment lack the experience to judge.

No, but Beidou will help guide their missiles.
Post summary:
I don't like Apple products and personally have no need for a tablet, therefore anyone who does is an inferior human.

I forgot to add, these cables qualify for 36 month financing. Bargain!
I could see a typo on a single item, but Best Buy offers a complete line of cables from this company, all over $1000.

Option 3 scares me... I'm envisioning the "Hi, my name is iPad! Hi, my name is Android" commercials now :)
Android will be a nasty crack whore covered in sores who will blow you for a hit.
The iPad is a shiny princess who won't let you touch her for fear you will get semen in her hair.
Choices, choices...
