do you have any breakdown of how much high-end android phone users spend on apps vs. apple users? no? do you know they don't spend as much as apple users?
Batshirt irrelevant. The fact is there are high end Androids and no shortage of accessories for the Android platform. As you would be bragging about in a second of anyone claimed that Androids were limited to cheap, low end phones.
Duh.
Just buy what you want that does what you want and get over it.
The question is why you're bringing up delusional Alex Jones-type conspiracy bulllllshit after being made aware of the two pertinent facts in the case. Kinda like the brain dead morons who kept on blaming Clinton for Waco and Ruby Ridge right after you've told them the latter happened before Clinton was even elected president.
that's like saying people who own $1M+ homes also spend more on cars. duh? apple sells high-end devices, and it's users spend for money on add-ons such, peripherals, and cases.
Not when there are high-end Androids with add ons and peripherals and cases. duh?
BS cop out. Pretty much every country at some point in its history had invasion or colonization providing a portion of the modern inhabitants.
You bullshit. You can't compare ancient history to consistent bipartisan policy towards Latin America with a straight face. You think the US-supported coup against Chavez took place during the Roman Empire? Under the delusion that NAFTA, which put farmers south of the border out of business with subsidized American crops - was passed during the Jefferson Administration? And lets not even talk about all the right wing government supported by St. Ronnie who committed massacres and terror campaigns.
Of course, I'm also a descendant of the "invadees" so I have every right.
So you're a hypocritical sociopath. Good to know, because...
I had enough respect for them to apply for a work visa
...there is no way your self-centered ass is in compliance with the various treaties the U.S. has signed with the native tribes that used to live where you condo sits, before they were subjected to genocide and land theft. So take your "illegal immigrant" bullshit and choke on it.
t's because of AGW proponents spewing crap like that that people don't believe them. California's drought is caused by climate change? California's always had droughts - they did in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s - but now if there's a drought, it's because of climate change.
You mean denialists ignoring depleted snowpacks and glaciers supplying water supplies, or the fact that massive wildfires have broken out months before fire season. Or how this has coincided with other parts of the country going months in the summer without the thermometer staying below 100 degrees.
When I was in High School and College in the late 1970's we were taught that the next ice age was coming, and it was scientific FACT.
Right, just as you were taught that Bigfoot exists and that the Moon landings were faked. Thanks for outing yourself with such an extensively debunked urban legend, though.
Black and white thinking, I believe. A species is only adaptable if it's immortal? If it's behavioral plasticity is unbounded?
Ignoring the point, obviously. Most humans alive today have not had to adapt from polar climates to tropical ones, or vice versa. Most humans alive today have not had to completely modify their diets to survive a change in environment or food supply. As in, humans haven't been adapting because they haven't had to adapt.
So when a denier uses a single datapoint to support their skepticism you laugh at them and call them idiots. When a supporter does it, it's ok?
It's throwing their reasoning back in their face, obviously. Record blizzard means climate change is a myth, but the 3 months of over 100 degree days the summer before means nothing?
But that doesn't mean that it has the best education system in the world. Lets say the best oncologists in the world set up a clinic in the worst third world hell hole of your choice. Does that mean that country has the best care for cancer patients?
No, it means that the best clinic is in Mogadishu, or wherever, if you have the money to go there. Not that they have the best system in the world.
ulcer with antacids and one doctor told you to take some antibiotics
Ah, the "scientists have been wrong before" canard. The part your sophistry is leaving out is that incorrect ideas were replaced with superior theories and models. Until you deniers have crafted superior models based on science, this is nothing more than a diversionary red herring.
And you demonstrate your intellectual maturity and humbleness by labeling people you disagree with as "deniers" and building up this long ad hominem fantasy
You demonstrate your projection through faux butthurt. Denier. Come back to us when your stance is based on science rather than ideology.
Oh, FFS. The core of "scientific understanding" is critical thinking and questioning presented "facts", the possession of which naturally results in skepticism when doing so invokes this sort of garbage. "Clearly anyone who doesn't blindly accept what we're saying, without question, doesn't understand science" isn't "science", it's dogma.
You aren't questioning the science because you have alternative scientific explanations for what's going on. You're questioning the science out of ideology - aka dogma.
I've still never had anyone offer me any reasonable answers to many of my legitimate questions on these "studies." e.g.:
Eg the same bullshit ID'ers pull when they go on about "explain how blood clotting evolved, RIGHT NOW, or evolution is a myth". It's a transparent tactic designed to put people on the defense rather than make any kind of rational argument on their own.
So explain why Venus is much hotter than Mercury, despite being much farther from the Sun. When Mercury has no atmosphere, while Venus's is high in CO2. Right meow, or your a Koch-funded denialist troll. How do you like them apples?
Because you're an ideologue, not because you have better science.
Our government used global warming to justify creation of a complete new tax ("Carbon Tax".)
That's the magic of your capitalist, market-based conservatism at work. The real solution is to invest in renewable energy while at the same time heavily regulating or banning the main source of emissions. But the sort of people who deny science out of ideology are likely to be the same people that oppose government investment and regulation - out of ideology.
Um in case you don't remember, Cash For Clunkers was a limited program, both in terms of duration and number of vehicles accepted. Sorry to have interrupted your Social Darwinism, please feel free to resume sneering at the poor.
Fact: conservative groups were singled out for special scrutiny and delays, beyond what the liberal groups got.
Which part of: both liberal and conservative groups were scrutinized, and the only group to actually be denied tax-exempt status was a liberal group did your partisan brain not understand?
Either accept reality or keep living in your blind world.
Talk about a non-response. Look, this isn't hard: if the reports are not just accurate but symptomatic of the parts in question, Apple should offer to extend coverage for said parts, then take it out of Nvidia's hide. But if you started the story off that way, you wouldn't get the chance to indulge in some frothing-at-the-mouth Hatorade, now would you?
They had a problem with 2008 systems (first year failures too) and now they're having it with 2011 systems and they still use nVidia GPUs, why?!
Uhhhhhhh because ATI is the other game in town, maybe? Who have had far more hardware and software defects in their products than Nvidia has ever had? Back in 2011 when these laptops were made, people with Mac Pros were having to replace their ATI video cards from older Pros because they would overheat and crash the system.
And even if you are lucky enough to live on a good public transportation route, and so don't have to spend 4 hours a day on the bus, it probably doesn't run 24 hours a day. Which makes it a problem if the job you can find starts at 5 in the morning, or you have a night shift job that ends an hour after the last bus goes home for the night.
And even if you do live on a good transportation route that runs 24 hours a day, not everyone lives or works in a good neighborhood, where it's safe to walk 6 blocks at night to or from the bus stop.
Going hungry, getting evicted, skipping car repair. One of these things isn't like the others; a car is a luxury item.
A car is a necessity for having a job in much of the country.
But that's the neat thing about being a Social Darwinist. You get to sneer at the poor applying for food stamps because they should get off their lazy asses and get a (second) job to pay for food and housing. But when they buy an 87 Escort, because they have to have transportation to get that job and that was the best car they could afford.....
......you get to sneer at them a second time for having a "luxury item" when they get hit with a $200 repair bill!
Real estate prices inflated by speculation in 2014? Where? Maybe in San Francisco, or Manhattan, or the ultra-wealthy DC suburbs, but not in too many other places.
Just about everywhere. Because the same entities that crashed the economy in the first place by betting on housing, have taken their taxpayer-funded bailout money and used it to buy up foreclosed properties to flip or rent.
Probably because you're the descendent of invaders pretending that the descendents of native inhabitants are the problem, and/or supported policies that have trashed the governments and economies of said natives.

The part where delusional Fandroids try to pull a slight of hand in comparing the 5 to the S instead of the C. Any more questions?

Does the Nexus 5 come with a calculator for those who are willfully obtuse when it comes to math?
What insults and personal attacks? Methodically sticking to a pre-written script isn't making you any less obvious.
They aren't online for the same reason Santa Clause doesn't have a website to accept gift requests - because they never existed.
When, exactly, was Time a peer reviewed science magazine or run by scientists?

You've NEVER in your life heard of bleach? Wash those cloth shopping bags after a trip to the butchers. Concern, I mean problem, solved.

You're free to stop mixing them at any time.
Do explain why Venus is hotter than Mercury, despite the latter being much closer to the Sun.
