If you're charging someone $15000 for a 10 week course, and promising jobs at companies "like Facebook and Google," you probably need to fall under some sort of regulation and compliance.
This isn't even a fair comparison. For every track sold on iTunes, the "label" (by label, it could apply to an actual label, or the artist themselves if they self published) gets $.70. For every track played on spotify, the "label" gets $.0017. Buying through iTunes is vastly more beneficial to content producers.
Robotic factories don't exist in a vacuum. They need to buy boxes to package the product, drivers and railcars to ship things to customers. Not to mention the short term employment to build the factories. Even a fully automated factory will need at least 15 full time employees to maintain the factory. That's not including the part time security and cleaning staff. That's a minimum of 50 jobs that didn't exist before, and for the Apple factory would probably be closer to 200.
The money he spends on Charity work is less than the interest he makes on his fortunes. Its hard for me to find it impressive.
That's how sustainable foundations work. You donate portions of your interest and grow your principal so that you can do so again the next year, and the year after that, and the year after that.. theoretically into perpetuity and at least long after the founder is dead.
Nothing requires you to update your 3gs to iOS5 - but you can if you want to.
As opposed to an update not being available at all...
Aside from providing an upgrade path, is Apple also suppose to hold back features that highlight their new models in an effort to prevent performance issues in older models?
They just released their third quarter numbers yeaterday: almost 100,000 xoom tablets and almost 5 million android smart phones. With numbers like those, it's no wonder Apple had such a lousy quarter. Get used to it Cupertino!
You also got the part about where it lost $32M doing it too, right?
It occurs to me that Motorola Inc. owns the patent, not Motorola Mobility. In the purchase of Motorola Mobility, it's not clear what patents are included in the deal. I doubt Motorola just handed Google their entire patent portfolio. Did Motorola just trick Google into buying an empty bag?
Banning computers would put too many companies out of business. We should just ban operating systems. That way all these other tools won't work, and we only put a handful of companies out of business... none of them from the EU.

Check their investor statements. Non-Xbox related products are a rounding error for the division. Most of the profit (and loss) are from the Xbox.

Hint: get your facts right otherwise you just look stupid, the XBox division has been turning a profit for years. In fact the year to June 08 netted almost 1/2 a billion dollars in profit for that year alone and has been turning a healthy profit ever since. So yes it *is* a phenomenal success.
Recent profit yes: But $10B loss + $4B profit still leaves them $6B in the hole...

How do you know they have no new ideas or insights if we never get to read them?
Yes. You're right. Let's halt all cultural progress because you have all the books you'd ever want to read. Fuck new authors!
I said: "...probably need to fall under some sort of regulation and compliance."
You said: "These schools are heavily regulated by the FAA"
I believe that's what we can refer to as "in agreement"

Historically, the Xbox division is still not profitable. It's net -$3B from 2001

A patent is, by definition, not secret. The fundamental requirement for getting a patent is disclosure of the invention.
Who is the genius who modded you informative?

She voted for the healthcare bill despite knowing that 67% of her constituents opposed it. She's no "representative." Just a political whackjob
...and yet she was reelected by those same constituents, so apparently they think she represented them well enough.
It's suddenly Apple's fault that the developers squabble over GNU license?
yes
Seriously? There's a $10 difference between 200M and 2Gb and you want verizon to get that glandular with their plans?
