    Unless it was the charging circuitry that caused the explosions instead of the battery.

    When Apple screws up, there's a missing headphone jack.

    When Samsung screws up, people's lives are at risk.

    Same same, but different.

    Only because people haven't yet died from exploding Note7s.

    Given some of these incidents, they've just been lucky.

    Thank you!

    Now I have a perfect example of what the term 'false equivalence' looks like.

    He's been a bit nuts for a long time.

    And by 'a bit nuts', I mean the most arrogant person you've ever heard of.

    Not sure universal jurisdiction can apply.

    Crimes prosecuted under universal jurisdiction are considered crimes against all, too serious to tolerate jurisdictional arbitrage.

    Funneling money anywhere, for any reason, isn't a 'crime against all', nor 'too serious to tolerate jurisdictional arbitrage"

    And since there's millions of unreturned Note7s, its a very real threat. I wonder how many phones one person could get through TSA stops.

    So you know that they could have made the battery last longer or the size even smaller if they had not used replaceable batteries?

    Throwing out random gadget details shows you know the specs. Nothing else.

    Nothing close to that.

    But you believe that putting more stuff inside makes no impact at all to size/capacity.

    So, you literally believe in physical impossibilities.

    How does that qualify you to answer if that would make them smaller/greater capacity?

    The answer is: Not at all. You are still wholly unqualified to make design decisions on waterproof vs battery size.

    Trust me, they're under reacting.

    The *airlines* are saying you can't use exploding phones on planes.

    The TSA is letting exploding phones right on through security (theater).

    But Ballmer got fired for running another phone company into the ground.

    "After the adjustments were made, the Virginia Tech study estimates that human-driven vehicles find themselves in 4.2 crashes per million miles, as opposed to self-driving cars that find themselves in 3.2 crashes per million miles."

    So automated driving was, in late 2015, already (4.2-3.2/4.2) ~25% safer.

  24. But they've gotten far beyond 'as safe as'. Now they're 'much less dangerous than'.

  25. So, you're saying there's no human accidents on one-way roads? Or just being specious for no reason?
