Yes, there was nothing subtle about the post. It wasn't meant to be.
The topic was about infrastructure investment, hopefully the rights and wrongs of subsidies (there are some eloquent advocates with disparate views on/.) and a possible argument on "green" (note the quotes)/ "dirty"(note the quotes) / "nukular" (note the quotes) . What happens?
Fukit, the town's name is Nantucket.....jeeez......I couldn't bite my "tongue".

it doesn't matter how lossy or lossless the file is if you're listening with shitty white earbuds.
Dude, use some alcohol wipes on them before you get an infected ear.
"Modern music" is recorded with much higher gain than previously so having higher quality equipment probably won't make much of a difference if your taste is mainstream. A couple of links:
The loudness war. This made me smile. Why? I was listening to a youtube clip on pc speakers to pick up the affect on sound quality after clipping occurs...... he does explain it well though.

You've mentioned a few times that your wife's playbook is crashy. I'm curious what apps she has loaded and if it's app related. I've had a playbook for about 16 months and , the only issues I've had is some of the android apps won't switch to landscape view after updating the OS to 2.0.
I have had a couple of android apps freeze but this has not brought down the OS. I think it's a great UI although I can't see it being much of a threat to the "big boys" - I'm looking forward to upgrading the OS to BB 10.
The USA have registered the most complaints - 104 according to this list - so is not averse to using the mechanism but feels free to ignore a ruling and you say the country should "get over it"?
If I had a novel and Antigua started selling it, I would go to my government and ask wtf? Why are you not abiding by the WTO decision? If you aren't going to abide by WTO rulings that don't suit you, wtf are you doing being a member of it??
Without patents, a significant number of products we see today would not exist. Very few people would spend research and development on something that someone else could just simply copy. Companies would spend more time and money developing products that couldn't be copied, opened, backward engineered.
NOT giving a monopoly is economically counterproductive, morally suspect, and intellectually perverse. I say the last because a lot of people would say... oooh I have a cool idea, but it isn't worth investigating it, cause someone will just steal it from me.
Okay,

Phone for a pizza.
I'm curious, what's flaky with the Playbook? I've got one and the only issue I have with it is the number of apps available. I've had it for over a year and the only restarts have been on upgrades. I have had Android apps crash (ones that I repackaged for Blackberry) but the OS kept working fine.
Apple make fine products but are lacking in features and have constraints imposed that might be important to others - even if those features and constraints are not important to you (or your friend).
You've only calculated one measure of tonic for the double and you've increased the price of the double by twice the cost of the additional gin which is higher than their net profit (50% is higher than 47.5%) this has raised your net profit. If you hadn't skimped on the tonic, the percentage net profit would have been lower
Even if Apple only passed on the additional cost to the consumer, they would make less profit per unit.
Judging by your posts, you're as one-eyed as the people you rail against (imo) - it's your perogative.
You are based in the U.S. I gather and by all accounts it works better there but the world (and Apple's market) larger than the U.S..
Apple have good products (some great, some not so great) but the maps is a blunder imo - I suspect Scott Forstall would think it was a catastrophy considering it appears to have cost him his job.
Companies make mistakes, it's how they react to them that is important to me and Tim Cook deserves credit for owning up to the issue and suggesting alternatives - in my books at least (the line users are holding it wrong..... still makes me shudder).

The regulators acted after finding the operator had missed checkups on about 10,000 pieces of equipment
You don't consider that news?

After reading the article I believe the authors of the study have graphically demonstrated that their hands are best suited for masturbating.
As much as I enjoy a good old apple bashing, anyone who trust their gps without checking the plausibility of the route is an utter fool.
Too right mate! They should have double checked against google maps.

Why don't you write to Mr Cook and ask what he was apologising for? Perhaps he's a very polite and apologetic sort of chap.
Err....not sure why you're trying to compare how the US is to the rest of the world....we ARE talking about the US on a US centric site after all.
