As an owner of a Toshiba Thrive, and several IPad 2s, I'd have to disagree with you completely.
So, the advantages ot the IPad[2] are more apps (not necessarily functionally more, just more), and probably less malware (only a problem if you are ADD or a moron when downloading software), no flash, and it helps if your wallet is too heavy. Oh, and you get a device with a logo that shouts "I'm a pretentious prick!"
Yum.
Ah, which explains why you bought one Android tablet and several iPad 2s, because the Android is better than iOS, so you bought several iOS tablets.... wait, what?? Car analogy time: Ford sux! That's why I have several Fords and one Chevy, cuz Fords sux!@

It could be, but what gets me is the BS description:
Heightening the uncertainty is that the companies involved, both of which declined to comment, are in some ways as different as two technology companies can be. Google makes Internet services and software, thrives on high profit margins and distributes its product using giant data centers. Motorola makes hardware, has modest margins on a good day and moves its products on trucks and airplanes and through brick-and-mortar stores.... "It's like, thanks for everything you did in the 20th century, but you're being bought by a search engine," said Roger Entner
Welcome to the 21st century, where your hardware is only as good as the software running on it.
Apple are the heavyweight in cheap consumer electronics, and American owned. We should be asking why they aren't building in the US, especially as most of what they "build" is putting together other companies' components.
And we should be defining what "make (or made)" and "build (or built)" mean. If I buy a motherboard from taiwan and build a computer from it in the US, is it "Made in America"? What if the motherboard is from taiwan, CPU from Arizona, hard drive and case from China, power supply from California and I build the computer in Dallas, is it "Made in America"? What if the parts are mostly from the US but they're assembled in Mexico, what is that? And we can take it further, what if the parts are made in the US but the rare earth elements used in those parts are from China, where is it "made"?
Car manufactures have been playing this game for years, buying parts from overseas but assembling the car in the US and calling them "American made". It's so bad that there's a American-Made Index where they rate cars based on how many of their parts come from the US and vehicles like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord are more "American made" than the Chevy Traverse or Ford Explorer and American icons like the F-150 and Silverado don't even make the list, so people buying trucks from Ford or GM thinking they're supporting America really aren't, they'd be better off buying a Toyota Tundra.
Obviously if the metal, chemicals and other rare materials were mined in the US to make the parts in the US used to assemble the device in the US then it's 100% American made, but that's almost never going to happen so we need to clear this up before we can call something "Made in America".
Maybe they shouldn't be pissing off all of their employees all at once? If you did something to make all of your employees very mad all at once what do you expect to happen, everyone to go home and cry themselves to sleep?
Verizon is at least 50% to blame for the destruction of their equipment.
Verizon is responsible for the actions of a bunch of union thugs? Do you blame rape victims and robbery victims for being in the wrong place too?
Are you equating Verizon to a rape victim? That's a bit of a stretch don't you think?
+1, insightful. This law protects teachers more than it does students, teachers don't have to worry about students finding something they shouldn't and being fired for it or being accused of something they didn't do. Not sure why teachers are fighting something that protects them, it's like (car analogy time!) suing to have airbags removed from all vehicles.
Facebook is a "nonwork-related website that allows exclusive access with a current or former student. " so a teacher can not be friends with students on Facebook. The law does say teachers can have a work related website as long as school officials and legal guardians have access, so a private social networking website for the school is possible. The law makes a lot of sense but it seems some people are taking it out of context and making it sound evil.
Not a violation because we are talking about adults talking to children. No, we do not have the right to talk to children that are not our own children.
Znet conveniently cut out the very next sentence where is says "former student" only applies to those still under 18, meaning you can't friend the 13 yr old that leaves middle school to go to high school. Can't trust reporters, they only believe in sensationalism, you have to read the bill yourself.
This. Kinda surprised it took this long to get to the point: the law is saying high school children can't be friends their teachers on Facebook or any other form of unmonitored electronic communication like texting. Um, ya, makes sense to me, considering all the teachers having sex with high school student stories that have come out in recent years. Any law that helps prevent teachers sleeping with children is alright with me. Somehow I graduated high school before Facebook existed and I'm not sitting here thinking "if only I could have had Facebook when I in highschool so I could have had my teachers as friends!" Not really sure I wanna know what they did on Friday nights. And doesn't this help the teachers? They don't have to worry about some brat reporting to their parents and principal that mr anderson likes getting high. Figured the teachers would be cheering for this law.
Shame you're AC because that's the real question, out of 100,000 students how many will pass the class? 1% maybe? And when they see a 99% failure rate will they continue to offer free online classes in the future?

I would really like to have seen the No-Fly list. My older brother has been "randomly selected" for several flights in a row and I strongly suspect it is a name association with someone else. But our democratic republic uses "secret lists" now to persecute people. What can you do?
I would have liked to seen the list too.
Is there a reason he destroyed it?/. description has no details, and the article simply says "Domscheit-Berg has "in the last days shredded [the files] to ensure that the sources are not compromised," said Domscheit-Berg."
I don't understand, he couldn't save the lists without the sources? Why not just put them up on torrents without the sources on there? At least then *someone* would see them. Now they're gone. What a waste.
Unions committing criminal acts to "bargain". No wonder a lot of people don't like them.
Um, no. There were 45,000 people on strike and only 110 acts of sabotage. I only received a minor in math so I'm no expert but unless it took about 400 people per act of sabotage I'm pretty sure most of the people on strike were not committing acts of sabotage.
If I had to make a crazy, random guess I'd say it's about a hundred people, one person per cut line, and maybe even less since one person might have done several acts of sabotage. Going by that it means less than 1% were committing criminal acts.
Can't really blame it on the Union when less than 1% union members were committing criminal acts.
Gut health care? Making union employees pay for a portion of their health care like every non union employee does is gutting?
Take away what they already had? That's gutting.
If they don't want to provide that to future new hires that's fine, but to start work and be told "ya... we're gonna need to take away what we told you to expect...." is pretty shitty.
Obviously VERIZON don't think much about their customers if they are willing to ALLOW EMPLOYEES TO destroy Verizon equipment as a way to get back at the company.

Does not apply to children
Can you friend a teacher in your school that does not have you in any of his/her classes?
No you may not, and I think it applies to teachers even other schools until you're 18
Not a violation because we are talking about adults talking to children. No, we do not have the right to talk to children that are not our own children.
And the teachers aren't suing?
Znet conveniently cut out the very next sentence where is says "former student" only applies to those still under 18, meaning you can't friend the 13 yr old that leaves middle school to go to high school.

Law doesn't apply to university or college since you're an adult, only high school and younger.
