How is it the same price to pulp a tree, print it, package it, and ship it to my house as it is to copy a digital file and send it over the internet
It isn't, but that's not up to Amazon.
The publishers are charging more, to make more profit. Just like any business would like to do.
That doesn't mean it makes good business sense though. I think ~$1 less would be a good price point, cheaper for customers and more profit for publishers.
No, he said the shuttle could have overtaken Voyager. Even if was actually faster, which it's not, it was not built to endure long distance space travel.
Or they could have hacked some small developer who wasn't overly careful with his records and AntiSec ended up with a few real UDIDs. Then blamed it on the FBI.
Or they could have hacked an FBI laptop, just the one that had Apple UDIDs on it.
I have no idea, but I have heard of Occam's Razor.
Also, you're ignorant of how most software these days comes for a Mac. It's on a disk image. Download & install. Even the OS. No need for a DVD drive. The most common use for mine? Installing Windows software in Parallels.
1. Music player/manager/recommendation system 2. Video player/manager/recommendation system 3. Device manager 4. App manager 5. Music purchase 6. Video purchase 7. App purchase
What would you cut out while still keeping it simple for *everyone* to manage their devices/music/video/apps/etc.
I have never doped, and, unlike many of my accusers, I have competed as an endurance athlete for 25 years with no spike in performance, passed more than 500 drug tests and never failed one. That USADA ignores this fundamental distinction and charges me instead of the admitted dopers says far more about USADA, its lack of fairness and this vendetta than it does about my guilt or innocence.

Space is big. You wouldn't believe
I loved the stat that came from Voyager 1.
It's been going 38,000 mph for 35 years. And it's just now leaving our local solar system.
Except what else is there to buy in ebooks, but other books?
So I'll buy the one at $4.99, but I'm not buying the ones at $13.99.
If you just sell milk, what's your loss leader? White milk? And then REALLY premium price chocolate milk?

Selling at a loss isn't smart.
I *think* he's trying to say all malpractice in socialized systems is Obama's fault.
Unlike all the other smartphones...
but shipped millions!

So, it couldn't have on two accounts.

Yeah, but that ~1kps difference needs to make up 10 billion km.
That's about 315 years. So your new probe has to last that long. At least.
Anyone that has $100M of net worth has no connection to normal humans.
Hey honey want to take the kids to dinner this weekend?
No, we can't, we had to buy clothes & shoes for them.
Stupid, silent engines.
There oughta be a law!
Seriously, go talk to anyone under 25 who likes music.
My 7 & 11 yr olds lust after the latest iPods.
Of course, I make them earn their own money.

Social groups share things?
Seems odd that I'd have to say that, but this is slashdot.
And jagged edges for security protection!
So your solution is what? To have 7 apps?
1. Music player/manager/recommendation system
2. Video player/manager/recommendation system
3. Device manager
4. App manager
5. Music purchase
6. Video purchase
7. App purchase
What would you cut out while still keeping it simple for *everyone* to manage their devices/music/video/apps/etc.
Nah. It's just a new generation of embrace, extend, extinguish.
They're only at embrace right now.
Is there a better piece of software to hold up as an example?
Make sure it does *everything* iTunes does.
You can also be a player in a saturated market and get an antitrust suit
How? (Assuming saturated means no dominant player)
doped means taking drugs for performance enhancement.
It doe not mean taking them for cancer treatments.
Very good call.

"Pee in a flowery Dixie cup" is so much better.
Wheeeeeeeeee
Wheee Wheeeeeeeeeee
Which leads to this thought:
You just don’t use weasel-y statements like “I never tested positive” instead of “I never, ever took anything, ever” for no reason...
