People don't buy an iPod touch to play music. They buy them to play games. It's what you get for your 10 yr old niece/nephew/son/daughter. My 2 yr old has a 2nd gen iPhone w/o a cell card, basically an iPod touch. My 4 and 6 year olds have 3rd gen iPhones the same.
There are millions of new customers born every year. Every year a generation turns 8 or 12 or 15 and their parents decide to buy or are cajoled into buying personal electronics for them.
It's an ever growing market for at least another 30 years.
Nobody uses anything but their iPhone/iPod in fact because there's no need. All the music is stored at Apple and added or removed on demand, playlists are created with a few taps and swipes. They don't bother with buying CDs and ripping them. Why would they? They buy an album on the iPhone or a few songs. If they are low on storage they just delete some songs. Later if they want it back they can redownload them through 'not on my device'.
Backups go to iCloud. Photos go to a cloud service or Facebook for long term storage.
Basically the vast majority of iPhone users never sync the phone with a PC.
Flash is a full display container and runtime engine. It's so bloated with features and yet it's main use is to play video. To play video though you must include a large number of classes for control logic, js interaction, network stack, etc. way more than should be necessary.
Give each a pass card that's charged at a wash station, the charge is only good for 30 minutes or so. Don't let them do stuff without a charged card. Put an led on it to show its charge level.
Or it can be passive with an RFID that gets logged when they wash their hands, then hold them accountable.
1. An extremely annoying, inconsiderate person most commonly associated with Harley riders. 2. A person who owns or frequently rides a Harley. " Look at that fag riding that Harley." "Why are these fags always so loud."
Discord is that you? Creating more chaos in the crystal kingdom eh? Don't make me call Fluttershy. She'll give you the eye. You know what I'm talking about.
I've watched every episode and can say without a doubt that the production quality of the show is extremely good. The story arcs are well crafted, the character building is great and even the side plots have a purpose beyond mere entertainment. The only thing I wasn't thrilled about was the Miss America tie in for last season's finale. It fell flat IMHO. The finale itself was good though.
Gotta say I'm a Pinkie Pie fan, her slapstick comedy routines are timed perfectly. She did a spit take in one episode that had me ROFL.
If I were to place MLP with a peer set of TV series it would be Breaking Bad, The Wire, DragonBallZ, FireFly, Cowboy BeeBop and maybe GOT (it still hasn't proven itself, we'll see how this season wraps up).
Now I can write my Cooking in Hurricane Country book and mash up the data to illustrate how a Flavonol is like a Vlass 4 Hurricane whereas Flavones are more like a Class 3.

How do they even make money anymore? Advertising?
Simple. Dedicated signed app that uses its own VPN connection.
Done and done. The Internet isn't the web ya know.
Don't you mean the 3D printer...

It's been a great investment so far.
If you think there's a market kickstart it.

This is the only comment that gets close to the truth.
The other aspect is that older devices can't run the latest iOS or apps built for them. So supply chain and software lifecycle management.
Remember that Apple devices are part of an ecosystem. Apple has no desire to allow either hardware or software to be fragmented for very long.
Here's the trick. Nobody uses iTunes.

What was your point again?
Netflix accounts for ~30% of all US network traffic.

Reviews are not a good place to discuss the merits or faults of a topic. A book? Maybe. Though I've never seen a review turn into a discussion.
Netflix says "I drink your milkshake". http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-drink-your-milkshake
Networks need to watch out. $10 / month gets me all the TV and movies I can watch.
Was thinking the same thing. Propane has the advantage of having an existing, non-auto distribution and consumption model.
"The network is down, ETA?"
This is a more typical C level email.
What you described is a mid-level manager who was promoted out of harms way.
Yes but it gets them out of the way of the actual work being done.
Haven't you heard? Fag has been redefined.

1. An extremely annoying, inconsiderate person most commonly associated with Harley riders.
2. A person who owns or frequently rides a Harley.
" Look at that fag riding that Harley."
"Why are these fags always so loud."
Pinkie Pie forever!

Because insulting people you haven't met and know nothing about is oh so mature. Way to be a role model mr. dad.
What? No. Most cultures that eat insects cook them first. Fried, sautéed, broiled or boiled. I'm thinking you're just ignorant of common practices.
Uh booking meetings in a calendar is ~50% of the average corporate managers daily activity. The other 50% is attending said meetings.
Those are both great examples.

Most Students aka 20 year olds have smartphone data plans that are more expensive. $360 sounds just fine for complete access.
