You know, just a little research tells me that Apple had over 25 billion dollars in revenue just from Macs in 2015. That's a nice chunk of change considering over 30 percent of that is profit. HP has to sell more than 7 windows machines to equal what one Mac brings to Apple. Why in hell do you think Apple would turn away from that? Particularly since they put so much work into making them work together so seamlessly.
Talking about headsets. For many years teams have had many suspicious incidents in Foxboro. A bunch of coaches talking about headsets that worked fine in every stadium in the NFL.....except the one the Patriots inhabit.
They do mention they are working on refining the process. It may cost some to produce but if it reduces waste emission of carbon dioxide then if not too expensive it might be worthwhile.
Considering the ridiculous sums of money they get for a 5 year old design macbook pro I can't believe they want to actually lose that profit margin. Any other computer company in the world would love to make what Apple makes on it's hardware. I've got a 2011 Macbook Pro that I picked up second hand and it's essentially the same as the 13" Macbook Pro they're selling today. It was a nice system 5 years ago but today it's really not impressive.
As long as the masses have a fairly comfortable existence they have no real motive to demand anything. They will bitch and moan and whine but they will have too much to lose to really make a stand. As long as people don't get hungry and desperate they are easily managed.
You must be one of those uneducated, ignorant and deplorable people that don't have proper reverence for their betters. You will soon know your place once our Queen assumes her throne.
Funny thing is that he's the reason why the NFL maintains control of the equipment. The Patriot's have been caught before spying on other teams using that same tech. As for the MS Surface crap that's just part of a very lucrative deal where MS basically pays the NFL to use it so they can advertise how great it is. Bill isn't the only one caught throwing the shitty things around. Several players and coaches have been seen tossing, smashing and stomping on them. Somehow I'm sure MS isn't happy about the negative image they're getting from this. I think it's funny as hell.
I was speaking about the "I told you so" motto. And really we had a Romney surrogate in !Jeb and look how that worked. Slick lying insiders aren't in vogue this election year on the Republican side, the Democrats have a monopoly on that this year. The voters were a little tired of the usual bullshit from their elite betters that run the R machine inside the beltway. They figure that with all his warts Trump is better than having more Romney style bullshit crammed down our throats. If I want a whore owned by Wall Street and the MegaCorps I can vote for Hilliary. Why do the Republicans think they need to mirror image her?
What is a reporter? Someone who reports on some newsworthy event? If so anyone can be a reporter. Or do you have to work for an official "news" outlet?
Stomping on the Constitution seems to be a bi-partisan thing ever since 9-11. I once believed in the Republican party but then Bush took over from Reagan and it's been all downhill from there. Secret Warrants? Secret Courts? WTF? All that shit has been cheerfully abused by whichever party is in power with the full collusion of the "opposition" party.
Well hell, I didn't make the quote, I simply repeated it and more as a joke than anything serious. I must have hit a nerve, if you missed the humor I'm sorry for you.
You act like it makes a difference. We've got two candidates running for president of the United States at this very moment who have both been caught in multiple lies and various activities if not unlawful they should be. One of them will be president in a few months, most likely the most crooked of the two. What difference do you think all that evidence makes? None really.
I've found that most of the better stuff from Netflix is available by torrent. I guess people need to stop paying netflix and head off to the pirate bay. If they don't want your money then stop paying them.
This assumes we don't give a shit how the people living in Greenland or the rest of the world for that matter, think of us. Of all the stupid shit we spend money for around the world I'd think this would easily fall into the better ideas.
My whole point is, regardless of how one might view the statement, it's doomed his election hopes. He finally crossed the line where no matter how bad Hilliary is, he's no longer electable. Yeah they would have certainly not liked it regardless of how he worded it. I wonder that a man becomes so arrogant that he could say such a thing to a reporter. What is it that makes him so insecure that he has to brag about something like that? It really kind of saddens me to see someone demean himself in such a way. I know when we were kids goofing around we'd say some really crazy shit, some of it worse that that. But we grew up. He apparently never did.
Goldman Sachs gives tens upon tens of millions in "donations" to politicians from both US political parties in order to get away with this and worse. If he had taken the time to write out the checks instead of cheating everyone of their cut then this wouldn't be happening to him.

You think they don't care about a few billion dollars just lying around huh?
Hmmm...windows is pretty good for games usually.

How much electricity? There is a cost associated with the process and nowhere is that cost mentioned.

Laws against reporting things tend to run afoul of the First Amendment.

I'm not convinced even now that Romney would have been any better than Obama.
You have a good point. Well over 90 percent of it isn't worth the bandwidth. Free is still more than it's worth.

Damn! Hilliary said something I agree with! Romney is an idiot. It's an amazing day.
I saw what you did! You called him an asshole!
