Take your fucking poncy Tibibytes and shove them up your arse.
"Oh, but we have to have the bi to specify it's BINARY Terabytes you see!"
No, you don't, you foul smelling infected festering gonad. ONLY YOU insignificant fucking worms get confused as to whether kilo is 1,000 or 1,024 depending on context.
Kinda pisses people off that nothing is actually broken but the service bill is tendered, just the same
I'm not quite sure what you're getting at here. They're pissed off because something's NOT broken? Or they're pissed off because they have to pay for somebody's time? Either way they don't sound like very rational people.
This whole "cost for cash" argument is somewhat silly. Doesn't the same "problem" apply to the banks? Surely by this logic, an electronic transaction should be cheaper than a cash transaction. Why, then, do the banks charge this exhorbitant "transaction fee"?
As a (former) small business owner, I had a gross revenue of around $600k p.a. and a net profit of around $100k p.a.
The bank wanted 2.4%. Let's assume I switched to 100% cashless - that's $15k in fees - 15% of my net profit.
Pisses me off immensely when people trivialise the cost of accepting plastic.
If the verdict was 'the opposite', no. But nice try at cleverly wording the question.
Would I still feel the same way I do now if the verdict was against whichever party was guilty, regardless of whether it was Samsung or Apple - absolutely.
You're forgetting the insanity in the UK, this stupidity has been going on for years, a lot longer than people realise. Take Kwik Fit (UK vehicle maintenance franchise) for example...
I was bemused as a kid, when they started all this shit. "Home taping is killing music". My arse. Yeah, I'm sure *I* killed the Bay City Rollers because I put them on a mixtape for my gf. Or mmmh, dontcha think maybe they just went out of fashion?
Now, decades later the whine is louder than ever. Sad.
I hate to break it to you, but aircraft don't use GPS for landing.
It's the difference between your car telling you to turn left "here" when it actually means the junction 45m up the road. Which admittedly could be an even bigger problem for the special kind of twit who already drives into walls "because the satnav told me to".
Hell, Apple's got a bunch of LTE patents, both original (e.g., nano-SIM)
PLEASE tell me you're joking, calling the nanosim an LTE patent AND an 'original' patent. It's a SIM CARD with a few mm shaved off it. No functional difference whatsoever from a credit-card sized sim card (the original form factor). In fact, you could take an original credit card sized sim card and a pair of scissors, and make it work in any iPhone up to and including the 5.
Once again, they have successfully patented a shape. Please.

Actually I was alluding to common practices going back many centuries, so well done on leaping to conclusions.
Oh, wait... I think it was books they were burning in the movie... Or people... Maybe both...
We're not spying on you. Not at all. Only spying on select traffic in the interest of national security. Don't worry.
p.s. you're out of milk
Sure. What's your noun to define, in general, a remote controlled unmanned vehicle?
We'll start a campaign to have your word replace "drone" in the Oxford English, Merriam Webster, Collins dictionaries immediately.
For paedophiles you could set it to 1.21W over 2.47 Gseconds...
Yes, that's fucking right. The fucking summary fucking written by the fucking OP, which fucking uses HIS fucking words, not the fucking FBI's
Succinctly, because I just woke up, BULLSHIT.
To be clear, I refer to "REQUIRED to give them my phone number"
How about we just wrap everybody in cotton wool and outlaw leaving the house, ever
Because outrageously stupid ideas like these make much more sense than making the fucking driving test harder so that morons don't get to drive
D'oh! I think you mean The Popular Peoples Front of Syria...
Why oh why
Duh. Because they want "the cloud" to become the new normal.
It's 1.7 TB - TERABYTES - you fucking retard

Simple, you measure the cost of your data bundle in libraries of congress, then divide by the weight of a library of congress...
18 baht meals? Guessing that was a long time ago... I had a 30 baht khao kha moo an hour ago and I'm already hungry again...
Bingo
My gut feeling is this man decided to do a bit of publicity whoring, and the watch & boots were made deliberately to get himself picked up
Ah, roast scapegoat...
Talk about clickbait headlines... tfa says it's an $80,000,000 smuggling ring that's been busted...
This isn't some little old ladies smuggling a few iPhones in their suitcase for the price of a meal...
Can you smell the irony, of posting this "bring back 4:3" crap on a site whose layout takes full advantage of widescreen.
And a 16:9 (or even better, 16:10) widescreen monitor in landscape mode shows TWO clean, full-sized sheets of A4 side by side (or one A3), jackass.
4:3 needs to die. Deserves to die. Is a dinosaur, aesthetically.
To claim that anything is exploit proof requires a level of arrogance and/or stupidity I hadn't thought possible outside of government.

Non, non, non... No need to wait for 3...2...1... for French bashing, just get stuck right in there.
Wait... cue in 1, 2, 3????
Are you French?
