    I don't know anyone who owns a Veyron either, do you doubt they exist?

    Yeah, refueling is a bit hard to find, home compression is expensive and energy density is not that great by volume for CNG. Nor is MPG that good. Not only because of the realities of CNG but also because they are just changing the timing on a gasoline ice, not building something more suited to CNG. Kind of similar to the issue with ethanol and high blends of it. Sure gasoline engines can burn it, and it works, but since they are really tuned for something else it is not ideal.

    Huh?
    You have been able to buy CNG civics for a long time. Now other manufactorers are doing it too. Ford has trucks and vans powered by CNG. Conversion is not terribly expensive either.

    You cannot get a nexus device on verizon. The galaxy nexus is not a real nexus, nor would any future device. Mine is still on 4.2.2 as of right now. I will be leaving verizon over this and I suggest you do too.

    Making phone calls what century do you live in?
    I take more picture and shoot more video than calls I make. It is first and foremost a computing device, then a camera lastly a phone.

    Why would I lug my camera everywhere with me? Do I really read my DSLR to take pictures of racks and server ID tags?

    Tests are easy to measure and make a nice private company rich. Making the administrations lives easier and enriching their friends is the point of public education. If you disagree with that someone will be along shortly to call you a Marxist or worse.

    I hope that one day this happens to you. So you can learn some compassion. Sadly I doubt you would. I have an uncle who says this crap, now his lifestyle caught up with him and he lives only on the generosity of the state. He says well he paid for those programs he should get to use them, without realizing so did the folks he used to hate.

    Most people believe all kinds of lies. We have never been a meritocracy. We have always had a rather class based system. A great example was Romney speaking of being in a bad spot financially so he had to sell some stock one time. That was his idea of a financial struggle and of those like him. He advised students to borrow money from their parents to start a business. He was not being a bad person he just has no idea about reality for 99% of people. Just like you have no idea what it is like to live like those people. To him spending ~$80k a year on a dancing horse is normal. To us that would be lunacy.

    We like to all pretend we are middle class for some reason, when this is clearly not the case.

    The One is a really nice device. If they would kill SenseUI already it would be the best Android device on the market.

    Not only build quality but some specs matter, think less about things like resolution and more about how accurate colors are or the white balance on the device is. Pentile vs RGB IPS is a good example of this sort of thing.

    The S4 might have a lot of plastic, but it makes it rather durable. They should have had the S4 Active as the only model. Instead they made that AT&T exclusive. It is not only less plasticy but also has some water resistance.

    iPhones have gotten bigger and I think they might do so again. A slightly larger device has advantages, especially in markets outside the West. Not only due to income meaning some folks will want a large phones vs buying a smaller one and a tablet but because of the belief that a large phone makes your face look smaller. Which is what is selling many of these huge devices in Asia.
