We risk the lives of ourselves and others every time we drive. It seems they could easily do lab tests and assess the concentrations that are dangerous and compare it to recent events.
Jesus dude, cut the guy some slack. Is he the world's greatest actor? No, definitely not. But in TOS he's on a set where they are sliding open the automatic doors by hand. Is he any worse they Tom Cruise? Probably, but not much.
No, he's not a great actor and yes, he kind of did luck out to be where he was.
That doesn't make him bad on the order that you're ascribing.
EULAs come with a clause that prevents an invalid claim from invalidating the entire EULA so they throw as much bullshit in there as they can to intimidate any non-lawyers.
Mentioning that in a public forum is against the EULA.

Sorry, that's all I can think of off the top of my head.
So your assertion is a bit off since there does exist some 'apps' and content that compete with the app store and other "Jobs Approved" content that Apple doesn't seem to care much about.
Are there some that mimic the app store? A few probably. But nothing in Safari can imitate a native app. If that were the case there wouldn't be much need for native apps, would there?
But at the end of the day, if the internet without Flash could do what Flash does, which is provide video and games, then Flash wouldn't exist.
In removing Flash, Apple effectively kills the vast majority of its entertainment/app competition.
If that is the case I'm surprised Apple hasn't noticed that every iPod and iPhone seems to have this 'Safari' app on it. Connects to this "internet" thing that you can interact with.
And play Flash games or watch Flash videos?
The internet does not compete with the App Store. Flash does.
I think Apple (rightly or wrongly) have decided their mission is to drag the tech world kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
...kicking and screaming into their dedicated storefront you mean.
This has nothing to do with whether the iPad runs on fusion and unicorn farts or coal fired steam engines. It's about making sure people can't develop any apps or consume any content that will compete with what you can buy in the App store.
But how can they really prove anything when they have no idea what route was taken and how fast the car actually went?
Especially the part where I loaded the car onto a car carrier just after point A and unloaded just before point B and THAT'S what actually exceeded the speed limit.
Not understanding the benefits of long-term testing by the FDA definitely proves that you're not smart enough to make these kinds of decisions for yourself.
The fact that I won't let you tell me what to do proves that I need you to tell me what to do.
Nothing like being able to use "begging the question" properly first thing in the morning.
Stop talking like a seditious teabagger. The government only has our best interest at heart and we certainly aren't smart enough to make these kinds of decisions for ourselves.
Still works as a DVD player and I can play the BD I already own, but I'm afraid of buying new BD or games that require the firmware update and disable my BD drive if I'm not willing to update.
Hmmm, I am curious if the BD spec allows forced firmware updates like it would for a PS3 game. You're probably safe there from a technical standpoint rather than a company stance.
I can't say for sure though. Would be interesting if someone who knew BD had an idea.
I'm not saying Microsoft isn't evil, or even abusive to customers. I'm arguing that they're less so than Sony...
And I'm arguing that your perception is entirely subjective.
especially when you restrict your consideration to the game market..
Betamax, Memory Stick, MiniDisc and ATRAC3 and the copyright bit evil, crippled Linux in a hypervisor on two platforms, Rootkit, destruction of Lik-Sang to enforce region lockouts and protect their expensive peripheral (*ahem*) market...
When even Microsoft treats its customers better than you do, you know you're fucking up.
This is entirely subjective. Removing the ability to run another OS and simultaneously play new games is worse than never having it? RROD is irrelevant? HD-DVD fiasco? Overpriced peripherals? Charging for online multiplayer?
I'm not interested in a pissing match. Simply to point out the experience is subjective and Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, and Apple all have their good and bad points. I'm a Sony customer (among others). I never touched the OtherOS option. The vast majority never did, hell, most probably never even knew it existed. My experience has been nothing but good and I own two PS3s and a couple dozen games I use for around an hour a day.
Saying "I haven't bought a PS3 in four years but now I'm REALLY never going to buy one." just sounds like a petulant child to me.

I'm curious why you felt the need to bring the US into that joke?
Neither had most of their citizens.

When you leave your legacy to future generations, would you like a virtualized copy of your personal system to be included?
Sure, but the writing on the walls of the cell gets kind of hard to read in the corners.
Ah, comedy central has made it clear that in response to death threats, they'll censor themselves.
Someone needs to death threat them into releasing the episode.
He was 21ish and 5'7" in 1997 and 6'1" and in his 40s now?
Time flies when you're having fun.
Who owns that car again?
Who owns your PS3?
What physical part of the PS3 are they removing?

The satellite is only needed in case a repeated offender has to be nuked from space.
It's the only way to be sure.

You are contradicting yourself.
I could be wrong, but what I'm getting from your statement is you feel people shouldn't be going around describing how Sony has screwed them over.
No, what I'm saying is that doing so in the style in which he did sounds a bit nutty.
When even Microsoft treats its customers better than you do, you know you're fucking up.

I'm a customer. I feel pretty mistreated.
Were you running Linux?
It's not up to the OP to determine how the customers are being treated. It's up to the customers. The OP can only decide for themselves.
