    Of course, they could merge with a nearby supermassive if they get caught up in it (e.g. Sag A*), but at no point in that whole story is there an Intermediate Mass Black Hole, the question stands.

    .. and also who do we know who's the bigger terrorist? Or whatever they are used against people who "deserved it"?

    In the civilized world we don't have death penalty so I guess no-one deserves it by that account. (English isn't my native language.)

    So I don't get the point.

    Yeah. Maybe they can interfere with terrorist cell(?) activities.

    So you're poorly informed.

    What are we going to do about it?

    Also the technology mentioned in this thread was wifi.

    I'd rather say "they _do_..." because Nokia for instance had their communicators and experimented with touch. The products may not have been perfect or bought by all but it's a false claim that they lagged behind and didn't do anything back then.

    What did you do for them then?

    Only an idiot adds options though.

    As far as price comparison for Apple computers go you shouldn't even step up to a mid- or high-range default setup because then value for your money aka computer / monetary unit falls like a rock.

    I think that's a rather easy one.

    Or:

    'The only real reason to introduce a Microsoft-branded tablet is because Microsoft couldn't get anyone else to make a Windows RT tablet.'

    Is because Microsoft can accept selling it for a loss to gain market share while other companies probably wouldn't be that interested in that.

    I don't know what the fuck you are talking about and I can't be bothered with it.
