CRAP is what you get when a guy who thinks a dick belongs up a guy's ass leads a company.
Apple is officially OVER.
1) Apple sales grow every year, despite claims of their demise. 2) You'll be the first one caught with a dick up your ass. It's always the most vocal homophobic Republicans who get caught being a homo.
Riiiiigght. Let's call the creators of the most successful search engine algorithm on the planet idiots. Misdirected by management? OK. Idiots? Hardly.
This is honestly Microsoft's biggest UI problem globally with all of their products. And hopefully I can say without getting blasted is why Apple killed the Phone and Tablet markets and Microsoft lost them.
Microsoft needs to expose a very simplistic UI to users, and let them click a "advanced mode" type of button to expose all the nonsense 99% of the users will never use. Fuck. Apple should do the same thing.
As of right now self-driving cars DO NOT WORK and there is no evidence that it ever will.
Remember when Blackberry said "PC Guys" (apple) will never figure out a better phone? How about when Western Union's CEO said no one will ever use the internet to send money? How about when Time Magazine called Amazon's model "sure to flop"?
You should learn from others mistakes before making statements like that.
Also, six taxi drivers have already committed suicide as their medallions become worthless, other cities are using taxpayer money to compensate taxi drivers. Huge messes to figure out.
Times change. We advance. We can't be held hostage to the old ways. If we worried about that we'd still be driving horse and buggies around because the wheel makers (blacksmiths) and horse breeders would have lost their jobs.
My two college kids in a dorm room is an obvious exaggeration. I was simply trying to make a light of the fact there is no way it costs $3bn a year to run Uber without a LOT of unnecessary spending.
Seriously. Look at their business model. They have a frakin' smartphone app. They don't own the cars or have employees and they take a 25% cut of every ride.
Please tell me how they can spend $3Bn a year in the first place? What are they spending it on? Two college kids in dorm room could write the app and keep it updated.
especially if they hire the low-paid, low-quality, dog-eat-dog mentality substitutes for those uppity Democrat-voting athiest liebrul haters in Silicone Valley.
Google doesn't want to miss anymore China opportunities because of some shitty opinionated fucks in their offices.
And neither does Zuckerberg.
You should probably seek some help for your anger issues. This is not normal. You'll find life is really great when you stop believing the BS you've been shoveling.
They could have used their guns, not missiles (AFAIK, F15 still has a Gatling gun).
Bullets and fragments will still fall out of the sky. A round that pierces the aircraft (and MANY will) will travel miles before striking the ground, people, houses, etc. Incredibly dangerous to do so.
I had Vonage for 3 years and used it like maybe 5 times. Because the only way you could cancel was to call them and sit on hold for 2 hours. Those bastards should rot in hell.
Just a 1000 years ago we didn't know electricity, and magnetism. Today we know the other three fundamental forces. Granted all three are just theoretical at this point, but they were unknown till fairly recently.
And there may be many other forces we have yet to find. Imagine if our planet had no metals. Magnetism may have taken another 1000 years to properly discover and incredibly hard to experiment with. Our planet may lack the materials other planets have and vice-versa.
Aliens on other planets might have materials that made their discovery of new technology and forces much faster and easier.
it is possible that life is everywhere, all around us in forms we don't recognize...
There are so many things that could make life unlike ours invisible. Imagine for a second a life form that's brain runs 1 billion times slower or faster than ours. Silly example to make my point: Mount Everest could be a slug, but it moves so slow that we would never know it as anything but a lifeless rock.
I sell some products on Amazon. In many cases (especially electronics) Amazon will not/can not determine if the product is actually good or bad (ex: a consumer firewall that customer claims is not stable or reboots). It's most likely cheaper to have Amazon destroy it than to pay to ship it back, pay an employee to test it and repackage it, list it on feeBay as used/open box to resell it, and pay to ship it yet again (if its even good).
None of what you describe are investments. You are talking about speculation.
You are correct. The point I was trying to make is that we speculate on many things. Gold, natural gas, oil, etc. No one gets up in arms over speculation on those things (well some do, but you get the point).
All widely traded cryptocurrencies have been trending downward since the crazy peak last December. There have been multiple larger events where values dropped precipitously without definable causes. Bitcoin and it's associated cryptocurrencies are a racket wherein people want to get rich by merely transferring money from others to themselves. There is no investment behind purchasing, it's all just taking.
Tell me when it really crashes and who's left holding the bag. Until then, shut up with this crap.
Replace Bitcoin with "Precious Metals (Bullion)". Investments are risky. Don't invest if you don't know how to. Don't invest what you can't afford to lose. People don't get rich without taking educated risks.
With that said, Snowden deserves his exile and more. Whatever your arguments are the fact remains that Snowden is in fact a low life thief and a traitor.
If you're wife were cheating on you and giving her lover money from your checking account, setting up cameras in your office at work to spy on you, and sending your kids to Nazi school instead of homeschooling them like you thought...
Would you be pissed off and ready to hang the person that told you? Get a grip man. Snowden did the right thing, and the only thing he could do. He's more American than 99% of our politicians.

if only I was in the same room as you, it would be ass kicking and swirly time for you
Big talk for an anonymous post.
there's literally nothing newsworthy to report here.
If only I had mod point! +1
because Google's engineers are idiots.
Riiiiigght. Let's call the creators of the most successful search engine algorithm on the planet idiots. Misdirected by management? OK. Idiots? Hardly.
Apple does offer an advanced mode on macOS: Cmd+Space, âoeterminalâ, Return.
CMD+space opens Spotlight search.

trust Uber employees are not incompetent.
Losing $900 million in a quarter with no road to profitability in sight. Let that sink in for a second and then re-read what you wrote.

If people truly want a new way of doing things, look to the old ways: commodities, practical skills, and the bartering and trading of such.
I know right! And we should go back to horse and carriage too! I bet you voted for Trump.

And composite video.
We should add those back as well.
The only difference between democrats and republicans is the set of rights they wish to strip from you. Neither are on your side.

Imagine for a second a life form that's brain runs 1 billion times slower or faster than ours.
WTF? Did you mean whose?
Nope. I meant THAT. Whom/whose refer to PEOPLE.

Never being able to go home. Right, Snowden?
