Unfortunately, 90% of people are casual users who get confused if icons look different, they think the machine has changed. They haven't abstracted the interface from the contents, and likely never will, because it would take time away from thinking about their farm on Farmville.
Educated black people like Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Bill Cosby abhor the ignorance that is Ebonics. Why in the fuck are you people defending it? Are you trying to keep the black man ignorant to make you feel better about yourselves?
Scary thing is that most every traffic jam currently is caused by that kind of cluelessness. Some asshole cutting someone else off, or turning without adequate warning, and generally not giving two shits about everyone else on the road, and it starts magnifying it's way back until you're stopped: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/12/071219103102.htm
I can still read a map and tell where I am from streets and such, but my GPS on my smartphone makes it a lot easier to find my way around an unfamiliar city when I travel for work. It can tell me when I'm near my hotel and it's dark on highways I've never seen before.
I'm not disputing that you don't need some general idea of where you're going, but I am disputing that maps were better in any meaningful way, other than locking you in to one route. Besides... how much would a map help you if you needed to find a drugstore?
The article most certainly is correct. You haven't experienced NAND speeds, so you don't know what you're talking about. Flash is not anything like an SSD. It's not as reliable, it's not as fast.
I'm doing much more than several years ago. The size may be the same, but the speed of the storage has quadrupled. That's pretty significant. Using a computer is like it should be, stuff responds when you want it to.
Watch the Planet Earth series. There are hundreds of strains of fungi like these, that all infect various insects. Moths, grasshoppers, praying mantises... they're all very, very species specific. So much so that they actually act as a natural balance so that no one species crowds out others because if they get too populous they end up being more vulnerable to the spores because of the denser population.
The difference is that the "sale" favors the consumers in theory (well, it's sometimes cheaper than normal price...), and is not controlled by a one-sided contract with few to no other options.
So... they're offending their target market, going to fail in the marketplace because nobody will buy the game, and collapse as a company? Great! Free market at work!
Or it offends a few busybodies who make a bunch of noise, and... life goes on.
If you don't like what they do, don't buy the damn game. It's not that hard. Just refuse to open your wallet when they hold you at gunpoint. Life's too short to get offended. You don't have a right to not be offended. You have a right to free speech and association.

Blame America's Puritanical roots and Canada's need/desire to follow our lead
You could make particle board though, which tends to be preferable to plywood in most instances anyway.

I also didn't suckle at it's welfare teat.

It's not racist if it's true. It's like observing that a lot of people in Minnesota have Nordic customs. It's simply true, it's not racist.
Then said group should GTFO
Tell that to the IRS

Because we can make and have alternatives to oil. No such luck with helium.

Wait... Google runs OSX for it's servers now? And IBM? And Oracle? And all of Redhat and Novell's customers? Wow.
Even after they tried to force him to supremeness the results...
Autocorrect is a bitch, ain't it?

Operating System. Why such lightweight apps? You could do ALL of the things you listed with less than a single GB of NAND flash.

You forgot that they bought off Netflix. That added a ton to their install base.
Bad form replying to myself I know, but I just remembered what the parent was talking about... it's toxoplasmosis. It's not a fungus, it's a protozoa

Actually, the movie would end with a twist. Or am I just failing at the joke?
Yup
Right up until they burn your house down

Go ahead and object until you turn blue. I'm just pissed off that shit like this ends up making new censorship laws more often than not.

You haven't talked to any religious people as an atheist, have you?
a legal system that would <...> gladly imprison 10 people, despite 9 of them being innocent to catch a single guilty.
But think of the children!
