I'd argue that a significant portion of Apple's market cap is driven by a more volatile, emotion-driven perception of their products. They make good products, but many people get them for the status (seriously, how many other phone cases have a hole in the back so you can see the logo?!). If this #BoycottApple stuff really starts taking off, you'll see a big impact to their sales.
They better have something special in line for the iPhone 5.
You might also look at purchasing a Visual Studio add-in like Code Rush. It can really speed up dev time and reduce keystrokes. No affiliation, just a happy customer.
Agreed. To me, it's silly to see people try to define what's a person and what isn't, and the conversation soon becomes "my body, my choice" since the logic falls apart.
What is so magical about a baby sliding through the birth canal or being cut out of an abdomen (especially considering this can happen anywhere from 29 weeks to 40+) that suddenly makes it "exist"?
How dare you get in the way of our drama-driven rage? Now, back to the torches and pitch forks!!
First informative comment I've seen on this issue. It's unfortunate that so many people use any faux paux as a reason to work themselves up into a frenzy.
Ah - maybe there's the next opportunity in the free education offerings. khanacademy, codeacademy, udacity, mitx,.... How about free med school? At least the lecture portion could be commoditized.
I'd be curious to know how much of the prices are because of tort (wouldn't that just be a sum of the malpractice insurance fees) and how much is due to inability to collect. I'm sure someone who works in medical billing could give some figures on billed vs collected.
I think that a significant portion of the high fees are to cover the people who don't (won't) pay.
Cool - how about we play the game, just in different terms? Anyone is allowed to kick you in the nuts. But after said kick, you have the option to say "hey, I don't like being kicked in the nuts, please don't do that again." From that point forward, that person is no longer allowed to kick you again, unless they want a fight on their hands. Sounds fair, right?
If you take "Think Differently" and change the adverb to an adjective, it becomes "Think Different".
I'm not normally annoyed by small grammatical errors, but when it's a multi-million dollar ad campaign, it really drives me crazy. I figured that the campaign worked only because the grammatical error caused people to repeat the phrase in their head multiple times in an effort to reconcile the error (ie. "maybe it will sound okay if I stress the syllables differently"). Repetition builds recognition.
Now that they've started the precedent of incorrect grammar, they should continue it. Genius could be changed from a noun to an adverb, for example.
The Alamo Drafthouse came up with a cheaper solution - zero tolerance. If you can't go a couple hours without using your phone, the theater is not for you.
Bingo - and if I have a chauffeur (or the car is driving), will I be paying attention to the road? Nope, I'll be sleeping, reading, or playing games. Whether or not I'm passing anyone is closer to the bottom of the list.
Thought #2 - being safe also takes into account keeping up with the flow of traffic. It doesn't make it legal to speed, but it's safer to speed if all the traffic is doing 10 over. I wonder if there might be an exemption made for a car in autonomous mode that is speeding for safety.
I came here to say what you said. There's quite a ways to go on this Sign language is conceptual - they sign the concepts, not the literal words. To complete it, they need to add a display that will do speech to text for the other person. At that point, the interpreters might start to worry.

I'd argue that is poor practice. If your manager is looking to blindly luck out in finding the right candidate, then he's doing it right.
Oops, looks like you missed your meds again.
And you probably overbought on your computer purchase. What's your point?

Increased number of projectiles loose in the cabin in the event of an accident?
Do you really think that's how it works?!

A child doesn't exist for the first several months of pregnancy.
Actually, a child doesn't exist for the first few months of its life.

Gee, maybe they should just give it up. Or maybe you should take the lead.
Quality of care has to figure into the discussion as it's directly related to the average cost per person.

Inappropriate != bias
And yet... here you are.

You've got mail!
But this is supposed to get cheaper over time. Sure, let them enable more phones for data, but the price per phone needs to go down.

You should be cancelling cable because it's $165.

My wife contracts around $30/hr - so it's a bit more than fry cook. I think that it varies widely from region to region though.
