This x1000. Micro USB is flimsy trash... and not all Micro USB cables are created equally... My old Droid Bionic wouldn't connect with a computer for file exchange/etc except with the Micro USB cable that came with it. Other Micro USB cables I had would give it power but nothing beyond that. Not to mention MicroUSB has a big hole in the center asking for stuff to get stuck in it, and needs to be inserted a specific direction, both flaws you cannot associate with lightning. Lightning is a great connector, the only true downfall is that Apple will likely never share. And lets be serious...it's not as if Apple changes the connector with every new iDevice, the old 30 pin style connected had been around since the original iPod. Long before Micro USB was even a twinkle in an engineer's eyes. The new connector is a natural successor, and I doubt Apple will be dumping it anytime soon.
Except that Apple didn't decide to charge for the second half of the season separately, that was entirely on AMC.
Guess what, if you bought season 5 of B.B. on Google Play, Amazon, or your Xbox, you only got the first half as well. Because AMC decides what is sold.
Only difference is if you bought it via any of these other sources, you're still shit out of luck and will have to pay out of pocket to get the second half.
Apple is trying to be the good guy here, giving its customers what they originally thought they were purchasing despite AMC's alternative motives to milk as much money out of the final B.B. Season as possible. I know that's hard for you to wrap your Feeble Apple-Hating Mind® around, but it's the simple truth of this specific matter.
Now fuck off.
This x1000000
Speaking of M$, same as Amazon and Google Play, if you bought the season pass on your Xbox guess what the same thing happened. Except you're still SOL.
Apple didn't set up the season like that. End of story. AMC / Sony did. End of Story. Apple is being the good guy here and refunding people to maintain customer loyalty in a situation where the content publisher made them look bad. I'll bet any money Apple will make content publishers have to provide more clear definitions of what is being purchased with season passes in the future.
about a problem they never bothered to fully investigate and resolve. Guess what, there's a support article on Apple's website which details this exact issue and gives a resolution. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123?viewlocale=en_US

I don't think Apple assumed everyone would have an iPhone in applying for this patent. they were simply positioning themselves to be the first to offer this type of service and roadblock the competition should it become viable.
Problem with the argument about family size is that most SUVs have the exact same seating capacity as a sedan. Some have less. My aunt and uncle own a Hummer H2, a ridiculously huge vehicle, and it only seats 5....the same as pretty much any sedan, ever. If you truely need seating for 5+ then get a van.
No, we do not have freedom of thought and speech and religion in the United States because of Christianity (or any religion, for that matter), we have it because of the Constitution, an entirely secular document written by some rather intelligent men.
yes but you're missing my point which is the overall economic benefit to the island...there are always costs but with solar a big part of maintaining it will be paying the people who do so, thus keeping that money flowing within their local economy rather than entirely outward.
Personally I would use a laptop, but keep pen and paper handy for when diagrams and such may need to be taken down, as it's far easier to sketch them manually than try and do it on a computer. You can always scan or take a picture of your handwritten diagrams later and insert them into your digital notes. I wouldn't bother with a tablet unless you're extremely conditioned to typing on one...I could never get by with one as my typing skills on a tablet are non-existent in comparison to my skills on a physical keyboard. Another good supplement would be to bring a decent recording device and record your lectures...that way you can pick up anything you may have missed in your initial note-taking later on.
SO if anything it's creating jobs locally, rather then sending all that money to a shipping company which is likely not based there... So even if the overall cost remains flat, it's keeping more money flowing within their local economy, so how is that a Bad Thing?

- Some modern cars (not all) do not support roof racks. So you can't even use it to bring a bicycle with you (since you can't tow with it, either) on a small fun trip.
- If you like to do your own repair work, modern cars are hell on earth due to their cramped engine compartments, unibody construction, and independent suspension (of course, most SUVs have that nowadays too, but not *all* are terrible to work on the way it generally is with cars).
- They quit making station wagons (give or take) so those customers bought SUVs (which are now being downsized to CUVs, which I guess is the modern day station wagon).
-They make bike racks which mount on your trunk, unless your car lacks a trunk, there is a solution. I personally own one. Works great.
-If you can't handle it you probably shouldn't be working on your car yourself anyhow.
-You can still get hatchback version of many modern sedans, which are effectively the modern day equivalent of the station wagon.
Not just threats, but in the words of RLP's managing director, Jackie Lambert, "threats that threaten"
Those are clearly the worst kind, as opposed to those non-threatening threats going around...
Of course the cost will go to theatre operators...who else? Who do you think paid for upgrades to 3D capability? And digital cinema?
This is a very worthwhile upgrade. 24fps is juttery and looks terrible for any scene with lots of fast movement. This is amplified on bigger screens... Take a look here: http://frames-per-second.appspot.com/
Set one ball to 24fps and the other to 48fps. Swap the background to one or the other as a reference. Now sync and up the pixels per second for all of them. Watch the terrible blur at higher px/sec on the 24fps ball. It hurts my eyes. Especially on a huge screen where everything is moving quickly and that blurry. Sure you can call the blur "cinematic" but guess what, directors can still at that blur in post production when it will bring something more to the picture instead of leaving you to suffer through it on scenes where it only takes away. Unlike 3D on shitty 24fps film, this is an extremely worthwhile upgrade, and one side effect is it will actually enhance the 3D experience in movies which are 48fps and shot in 3D.
Call me a troll if you want, but anyone who thinks 48fps is bad clearly doesn't know what the fuck they are talking about, end of story.

and pissing them all off, giving them no job to lose, is going to somehow *prevent* further leaks? Brilliant!!!!
I believe we started hunting *with* spears.
It's the same on a Mac, as a security measure to prevent anyone from using your computer to make purchases on your account.

almost triple the MPG (13 mpg vs 29 mpg), and is way safer.
Your math is a little fuzzy, 29 is much better described as a little over double (26) the MPG rather than almost triple (39).

Reminds me of the old videos of people trying to fly crazy contraptions 100 years ago, but with more explosions.

Who is Daffy Dick? Your furry alter-ego?
Actually I think it's his supporters who think it matters most.

He feels the special relationship is special.
