You are nuts. Guess what, I can erase OS X off my new Mac's internal drive upon receiving it without ever booting it, and run it off a live CD as well. No company on the face of the planet that sells a computer with software preinstalled advertises the amount of free space available after all the preinstalls. Here in reality, the capacity of the device is advertised, regardless of how much of it is used by any preinstalled software. Not to mention capacity is still advertised in the archaic 1GB = 1 billion bytes method, not true GB's we all use and see on our devices.
Hardware becomes obsolete, or at least too old to run current software. That's a fact of life, always has been. You logic is fatally flawed. Once your android phone is not able to be updated (hell it already may be) are you going to switch to something else? Once you Lenovo laptop is too old to run Windows are you going to switch to some other OS? Do you expect to pull an old 386 out of the basement and install Windows 8 on it? You're fucking stupid.
Yes because a business is going to purchase a Mac Pro tailored for say video editing, then 1 year later switch to high end scientific data processing? not likely.
Well it's your own fault for not setting up a guest account and associating with sketchy people who you would let use your computer yet fear may steal your sensitive data. The problem is not the computer, it's you.
I'm not denying LED TV's have lower power consumption, however the picture on my plasma is so much better than anything a LED TV can currently put out it's worth it to me to pay higher energy costs until the point at which LED / OLED / whatever power power efficient technology catches up in terms of picture quality. The power strip suggestion is just a good way to minimize the additional cost of keeping a plasma around until that point is reached that I can replace the plasma with a more power efficient AND equal or better picture quality TV.
This. If thou don't agree with it you've never seriously compared the two and therefore your opinion is invalid. Thou? Thanks, autocorrect, I shalt keepth thou.
Attach plasma to power strip. Turn power strip off when not watching. Standby power consumption = 0 watts. Better image quality while in use = worth slightly higher energy costs.
No burn in yet on my panny plasma of 4 going on 5 years... yes an anecdote...point being more recent plasmas don't suffer from burn in like the older models.

Windows, Linux, Unix, whatever you throw at it... or use a live CD and have the full HD wide open...
They do tell everyone. It's no secret.
Cool story bro. Have anything to say relevant to the issue?

You had the option to get more storage when you bought your phone. Apple didn't force you to buy an 8gb device.
ought to be enough for anybody.
Lets see how many updates you get 2 years after you purchased your Nexus. Troll.
Some evidence to back this up? Thought so.

Better log off the internet, by using it you are engaging with all kinds of non-open source software.
You're missing the point - If Apple is building what you want, why pay more to build it yourself?

You're a fucking moron, Apple has industry leading support available, even on the enterprise level.
Only visible to the user account it's created in. If you're letting other people use your user account, you are the problem, not the browser.

You're a fucking idiot, set up a Guest account.

I bet you eat at McDonalds and think it's good too.

Put a plasma on a power strip. Turn off said power strip when not watching. Standby power consumption = 0w.

Get a hobby?
anecdotes do add up to data.
