    Any citation for that?

    I want to see a proper double blind study done of this.

    I look at an LCD all day, then sometimes some more at home. I do not suffer from any eyestrain I can detect.

    Fine, but no need to go making exaggerated claims like the value of the car approaching the value of a house.

    The Median and the mean are also quite different. In addition I would bet the Median new home buyers income is well above that of the median household. People do rent you know.

    I would have to say that is their own fault then.

    Of course those folks are look at porn, this is like when people are surprised some baptist pray away the gay minister gets caught with a rentboy. The louder they object the more likely they are participating in that activity themselves.

    If that factors into it in anyway you married the wrong person.

    Actually this is one case where I might accept that argument.

    I look at porn and we can basically say every other human with internet access has as well.

    I also have intoxicating liquors in my home!

    The only way this impacts anyone is if they are in the closet or something. Just having looked at porn is not something anyone in 2013 should be concerned about, at least not anyone I hang out with.

    You are making things up.

    If he cared so much about this he would not bill for it. Giving unwanted medical care should be considered assault and doctors should be prosecuted for it.

    Please, list some of these ETFs that have made 5% returns for at least 10 years every year.

    The average car price is ~$31,000, the average home price is $272,000. If the rest of your comment is that incorrect it can safely be ignored.

    Most people burn that drug to ingest it.

    During Prohibition the government poisoned alcohol. Whoever these folks are who keep coming up with ideas to make something bad worse, they deserve to be in jail.

    Silos AKA so overspecialized as to be useless. Specialization is for bugs, not people. Self respecting nerds, remember "news for nerds"?

    That is a totally different subject.
    Surely from Apple's point of view this is a huge gain. Most customers are just going to pay.

    This is a valid way to save money, but these days I don't bother either from laziness or just the PITA it makes warranty claims.
