I and my fellow equity-holding colleagues can influence the outcome of our equity
Have you checked the small print? You might have a lot less influence than you think if you own a different class of shares to the founders, who can issue more whenever they feel like it.
Those costs will be trimmed at the expense of customer service if the corporation thinks they can get away with it. It's one of the faults with the "invest in shares for increase in share value" model as opposed to the "invest in shares to receive dividends" model.
Explain why a company that pays dividends is less likely to skimp on customer service. Penny pinching is pinching pennies, irrespective of whether they end up stuffed in shareholder equity or paid out as dividends.
2TB SSD should last the life of the machine and if it dies before then I want Apple to replace it under warranty
What if it dies a week after it expires? And what about the other way round - you drop the machine or spill a ventiwoppamochachocca all over it & it won't boot. Now you can't take the drive out, plug it into another machine and get your data off.
It makes as much sense as welding the clutch to the car.
They'll all get beaten by a hippy, a fat girl in glasses, a val and a guy who'd be quite hunky if he dumped the Ascot. Oh, and a dog that talks, nearly.
I was referring to the claim that a phone serves instead of a watch. Essentially, a phone is like a pocket watch; those were replaced by wrist watches for a reason.
I guess you live somewhere warm or you never go out. The battery on my watch died a few weeks back, neatly coinciding with a cold spell (I reckon the bastard did it on purpose), and until I got round to fitting a new one it was a royal pain hitching up my greatcoat and fiddling about to get my phone out of my pocket.
Change isn't bad just because things are now different.
Equally, it isn't *good* just because things are now different.
Before changing anything you should ask what problem you're trying to solve. If you can't answer that question, maybe you should just leave it the fuck alone already.

If the USA and Russia were destroyed (assuming Yoorp gets splatted too), China could invade pretty much anywhere they wanted with spears.

Great film, but not as good as Bridget On The River Kwai.

Right. Just like the hammer has left the screwdriver behind.
You must be an MCSE.

Fawlty Towers only had two.
You wouldn't like it though, no explosions.
The reason? Too many ports!
Does your TiVo think you're gay too?
Not really. In English, one word has two meanings. In French, they have two distinct words, libre and gratuit for the speech and beer contexts.
This is a rare example of the amphibian chompers actually getting something right.

Gotta hold em all wrong!
There is. His first name is Zucker.
They do experiments about making sandwiches?
Coincidentally, 15,000 is the number of passengers on the roof of each train.

Anybody like to share my popcorn?
If I can't sell to them because of wanky protectionist policies they might as well not exist.
I don't own a body shop in the US so I can't employ them as H1-Bs.
Are you suggesting I make fertilizer out of them?

I tend to care about how things work, not how they look.
You might feel the same once you grow some pubes.
You've got to give credit to Microsoft's UI design department.
They've done what nobody thought was possible: getting me and the Mayor of Galt's Gulch to agree on something.
You use the humans to draw the enemy's fire away from the more valuable robots.
Why not just have a bigger army? It'll be needed sooner or late.
Fight song? Fight songs go more like "If ye cannae dee the bouncy you're a tim" or "you're going home like Sandy Richardson".
