What's relevant is that so many people have already trusted Apple with their CC details. When they get devices capable of Apple Pay, they're likely to use it.
Why shouldn't people who work in the fast food and service industries earn a living wage even when they work more than 50 hours a week?
Because the WORK isn't worth that much. Businesses pay what it costs to get the work done, and as long are there are people willing to flip the burgers for whatever they're offering, they'd be stupid to pay more just to mollify you.
why does the fast food industry cost the tax payer around $7 Billion a year in tax payer subsidies
Blaming the welfare state on the private sector is like blaming a dog for its fleas.
What the NSA is doing is billions of counts of illegal wiretapping. A This kind of mass data gathering is precisely what the fourth amendment prohibits, and any person involved with this program is violating their oath and committing felonies on a routine basis.
Microsoft's "Surface" is just the latest round of their "tablet PC" debacle, which had been a continuous failure for over a decade before the iPad was introduced. iPad succeeded because Apple didn't try to shoehorn a desktop OS into a device where it clearly didn't fit.
To suggest that Apple should abandon a successful approach for a failed approach demonstrates that the author should find a different line of work, he's obviously out of his depth writing about the computer industry.
He is HARDLY the only man at the NSA who did his duty
Oh really? How many other NSA employees objected to routine violations of the fourth amendment? Tell me all about how the program came to a screeching halt because of all the NSA men who refused to break the law.
The traitors are all the apparatchiki who routinely violate their oath to the constitution by violating the fourth amendment on a routine basis. Snowden was the only man at the NSA who did his duty.
Actually, this is a rare example of something that the court got right. The government doesn't have any legal authority to infringe our freedom of speech, whether we act individually or collectively, and when acting collectively, whether that collective is a corporation, a partnership, or any other kind of organization. Opponents of the CU decision claim that the decision amounts to declaring that corporations are people, which entirely orthogonal to the question of whether the government can shut people up.
Bribes are not a protected form of speech,
Campaign contributions aren't bribes. Money given to a candidate off the books that they can use for hookers and blow are bribes.

It's tragic what government schools do to tiny little minds like yours.

Government initially regulated transportation for hire for legitimate safety reasons;
Nope. That was just the pretext for the power-grab.

You should see it as an insulting term.
Why? I'm not embarrassed at all by having gray in my beard.

We're Programmers, we're Engineers, we're Coders. Anything else is insulting.
I don't feel insulted by terms like "expert", "graybeard" or "guru".
I do think that "rockstar" is bullshit, though.

o I had the money and CHOSE Android over IOS. How does that fit into your narrow world-view ?
Making this claim from the cover of anonymity tells me that you're ashamed of paying so much for crap.

Aw, don't get all butthurt just because you're poor.

People are always going to hate Apple - it is the only thing that drives the Android market
It's not the only thing. Don't ignore the huge numbers of people who can't afford a decent phone.

Every Dollar or Euro Apple keeps away from the tax man is a dollar that doesn't increase government's power to cause bloody mayhem.

Not only that, Apple already has hundreds of millions of iTunes and Apple Store accounts with credit card info on file.

Snowden is a whistleblower. He deserves our thanks, and an apology from everyone who's demanded that he be prosecuted.
Using classification to cover up billions of felonies is something the American people should never tolerate again.
