Surely they mean heat. That I will believe. Slashdot is sliding into the abyss a little further every day. Well it's not just slashdot - ever since they brought internet access to the trailer parks, there's been a change. And the law of averages and the law of large numbers means that the future does not look bright for us nerds.
Heh or at least the news. I couldn't believe my ears this morning watching CNBC - that clown Jim Cramer was actually trying to make an argument for news channels to not report bad news when the markets were volatile. Jeez when the fuck did we start needing kid gloves for absolutely everything? I'm starting to think that that Norweigan nutcase, though certainly not justified in murdering people, had a valid point to make...
That's ok, I'm waiting for the UN to draft a security council resolution that permits any and all means necessary to support the protesters and enforces a no fly zone on the UK.
Yep this is the American way. If you can't attack the argument, attack the person arguing. Kinda like S&P. Or the Tea Party. Or whatever. Giddy-up cowboy, your country is the one falling to shit. And yes I have a wad of gold that I bought 15 years ago, at $400/oz. Not gold certificates (worthless), ETFs (less than worthless), but 99.999 pure gold coins. And if you think gold is so worthless then why are you sitting there wishing that bad things would happen to me?
It's important when you're refuting someone's post on the basis of an article to actually read the damned article you are refuting. 27% includes all Apple products, since it's a set compiled by operating system, and IOS is Apple's proprietary operating system. However several models and indeed several devices fall into this group.
No but apparently you are. You see there where it says 27% of market share? Listening to Apple users rant on about their phones you'd think they had 99% of share and that there simply is no other phone. But since Apple users fail at life so they feel they need to validate themselves through a trinket, it's not surprising they fail at math too.
Ben Bernanke, is that you? Sure, argue with thousands of years of tradition. Go stand in Jerusalem, the Vatican and Mecca and tell all the worshipers that they are raving lunatics and see how many you manage to convince. Gold is accepted as a symbol of wealth all over the world, and it is quite rare meaning that you don't have to worry too much of being inflated out of your wealth (like with, say, US dollars). That you choose not to recognize this fact is your right. But that doesn't make you right.
The iPhone isn't that popular. It does suffer a disproportionate amount of "HEY GUIZE LOOK AT MY NEW iPHONE" propaganda though, which makes people think it's more popular than it is. Stand outside a crowded Apple store and count how many people are actually walking away with one. Most of the people are just sitting there all day basking in the glory of their Apple god wishing they could afford the shinies.
That's ok Japan used to make crap in the 1960's. Now they don't. If China allows enough internal competition and/or shoots enough factory owners, the quality will eventually improve. Then what are you going to do?
Apple's mind-miners explore myriad complexities to develop and understand new technologies.
"New" technologies? What exactly has Apple invented here, apart from an OS taken from unix, applications written at no cost to Apple because they were done by others, touch screen technology that's been around on PDA's for almost 15 years, etc. Yeah they put it into a good looking package and built a good brand and marketed the crap out of it, but there's nothing exactly "cutting edge" here except for maybe the gross violation of your rights when they make you sign exclusivity contracts with third party cell phone providers.
Now, guess which company is more important. A company that obtains and produces a (relatively) cheap source of energy, or a company that produces a marginally different but very shiny communications/computing device?
Apple is fantastically over-valued and overbought, as anyone holding $400 Apple stock will tell you. I can just imagine the pain of the people who have been stopped out. Well what did you expect when you were buying the stock? Largest market cap != biggest money maker. Amazing revenue growth rates have to make you wonder how sustainable they are over the medium and long term. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Me, I will cover my shorts at $280 and re-assess.
Nah, gas goes up when demand goes up. As the market plunges, oil has actually declined because a US in a recession consumes less oil than a US with a strong, healthy economy. But oil doesn't need excuses - as China and the rest of the world continues to grow, so does non-US demand. And since the population of the US is actually rather small when compared to, say, China, the US economy will become less and less relevant to the price of oil.
Of course in any slide there's always a bounce because those who are short need to take profits at one point or another. Right now we're at around $81/bbl and yesterday we were in the high 70's. So it's bouncing at the moment. I wouldn't expect $100+ oil in the near future though. Oil should decline too until the slack in demand is picked up by the rest of the world. Of course violence (especially in the middle east) could change that overnight.
and help them figure out how policy can affect the lives of their citizens.
You mean that until now, the people who are paid to take decisions for us have absolutely no idea of the potential outcomes of these decisions? That would explain a lot.
So the other theory is valid. Increase the noise enough and the signal is lost. But we have to get rid of this pseudo-religious attitude of "me? Oh god no not ME! I would NEVER do that - people actually DO that?". Come on. Everyone has peed in the shower. Everyone has picked their nose. Everyone has shat themselves. Everyone has been in a really embarrassing or compromising situation at some point or another. But a crook will not post that he is a crook on facebook. You won't find that ANYWHERE. Therefore if people are to lose their privacy, then people have to learn to ignore stupid, trivial things like "omg he smoked a joint in college" and focus on what people actually think.
Hell my rationale is all over the internet if you google my pseudonym, I've got thousands of posts on many boards. I'm not saying I'm right all the time, and I'm not saying I have the answer to everything. But I'm certainly not ashamed of anything I've written because this is who I am.
A show of power? Haven't read many tweets from lulzsec since that guy was arrested in the Shetlands.... That's the problem with "power". If power is bragging rights then the more you brag, the easier it is to find you and take you out. The old saying is still true. If you're going to do a crime do it once, do it to someone who doesn't know you far away from where you live, and keep your mouth shut. You break those rules you're going down.

An average of $35 billion a year is, indeed, 35 of your planes.
You mean those hundred million dollar planes that don't fly?

The ignorant deserve to be misled. It's not up to the world to educate you - it's up to you to educate yourself.
In the meantime they can watch the F-22's as they continue to be parked.
Not to mention that this treatment also only applies to one very specific form of cancer, not cancer in general.

Gold is the "real" currency. You think China can't/won't print Yuan or RMB when it needs them? That's the thing about gold - you can't print it.
90% market share is not a failure. And FYI, the 90% does not belong to Apple.

Nothing, all they want is the gold on the boards.
Reread your comment and then ask yourself where the double standard is.

Yeah I'd stay and discuss, but instead I'ma go get some gamification and play Eve Online.
