I bought a sim in London and then got to pay 2 pounds per day just to turn it on in Spain. What union/country/territory do you live in who's carriers have seemingly gotten it so right?
You're upset that a SIM bought in one country continued to work (for a fee) in a completely different country?
Who exactly is looking for all these crazy changes to the way browsers work? I am starting to think that browser design has become "art for the sake of art". What happened to function over form?
Because pretty pictures sell better than ideas when the Mozilla foundation is out doing fund raising.
One of my relatives also just started his own landscaping business, despite having a Chemistry degree. Why he needed to pour nearly $100,000 into a degree that he'll never use is beyond me,
Of course, the problem with this is that an increasing number of MBA's have no real experience in anything but university, so when they get out into the world, they think they know how everything works -- and they think their years in business school have made them Experts.
If you read between the lines, you would see that 8 billion is predicted to be the PEAK. Humans aren't dumb animals. We don't breed when resources are rare.
You should get out of your parents basement and go talk a walk in the real world.
Want further evidence? See the Milgram experiment, where 2/3rds of people were willing to kill another person because an authority figure told them to. Not bad apples, not racists, not evil doers, not terrorists, just people--you and me and our neighbors.

We couldn't get the country to adopt metric measurements fer chrissakes. No way we could convince bubba that 2 AM is lunch break.
The rest of the world is supposed to care about how backwards the USA is?
Best Buy embodies all that's evil in the mediocre tech world.
I guess you have never been to Fry's Electronics.
This is why I stick with Tracfone...
Uses AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon networks on their locked down phones.

You should just use T-Mobile and cut out the middle man.
I use my factory unlocked iPhone 3GS purchased from Apple in Hong Kong on a $49.99 T-Mobile plan in the US.
Yeah, news from 2009.
Not exclusive. They are sold in the Apple stores factory unlocked. No one is limited to having to buy from a carrier.
Oh...what, real ones?
Apple has been selling real unlocked iPhones in China for quite a while. My factory unlocked iPhone 3GS was sold in Hong Kong.
It is more profitable for our corporate run prison system to keep people on death row indefinitely rather than actually execute them.

We're slow because we aren't willing to risk lives.
Nah. Lives are cheap and easily replaced.
The real issue is the compensation payouts that affect corporate profits.
Why? It won't be any different then any other accident. How is this different then say, brake failure?
It makes a better headline on Faux News.
Google's driverless car was just in the news for crashing into a Prius
A human was driving the vehicle.
The yuan *is* the real currency, get used to it.
No, Flooz is the real currency.
Whoopie said so.

Meth lab.

Of course they know how everything works.
Look at what they did for Sun Microsystems!!
Can the fakes be spotted by looking for the R in Appre?
That's a Japanese language stereotype, not Chinese.

the poor are usually the biggest breeders.
the place is about as messed up as a place can possibly be. It has been receiving aid from both countries and individuals for decades and decades
Charity is big business.
If the donations actually went to solving the problem, all of these professional fund raisers would be out of work.
This is a perfect solution that balances the public wish for appearance of freedom
Only for the rich.
Very true. I think the survey is flawed and the real issue is that most users don't even know what 4G is.

You've never met my neighbors.
$1/DVD rental at the video store at the end of my block for DVDs
What's a video store?
In other words: "Orkut" means "the orgasms".
I wonder what the people in the town of Orkutt, California think of that. :-)
So new Macs will never come with Lion?
New Macs will come with the latest OS on the hard drive like always.
