    Another AC without a sense of humor. I miss the trolls and goatse of yesteryear.

    How does any sane person not see that?

    Presidents generally have leeway in how their administration implements the law. Just because you don't like the actions that Obama has taken on immigration doesn't mean that he committed treason.

    You obviously don't take 100 selfies every day, like the majority of iPhone owners do!

    Uh, no. The only time I get a selfie on the Internet is when the Google Map Car drives by the bus stop (see pic link below).

    [...] challenging arbitration clauses is no longer a thing.

    Not necessarily. It depends on the language of the arbitration clause. Not every law firm uses the same boilerplate language. A poorly written arbitration clause is still subject to litigation.

    The reason the 16GB configuration is so popular is because there's a lot of people who feel they have to have the iPhone even if they can't really afford the model they want.

    Or maybe they want an iPhone but don't care about the tech specs?

    From what I read elsewhere and a friend who works at a Sprint, 16GB is the common configuration for a majority of Apple users. I got a 16GB iPhone 6s and use only half that amount for the few apps that I use.

    Except in the case of almost every consumer ongoing contract which forces binding arbitration.

    Challenging the arbitration clause is the first thing that an attorney does. If that goes bye-bye, it's class action time.

    Whenever my friend users Apple Pay at the grocery store, his credit union automatically disables his debit card and he has to call in to confirm that it wasn't fraudulent activity to reactivate the debit card. Apple Pay has never worked for him.

    Have they updated the software recently?

    Not for the 2006 MacBook. In fact, many third-party applications no longer support the 32-bit processor. I got Snow Leopard and Mint Linux running on my mine. Other people got Windows 7 and 10 running on this MacBook (see video link).

    But consumers would have to be brave enough to come forward and admit that they were foolish enough to buy one of these crippled devices in the first place.

    I only paid $75 for a black-and-white Kindle last year. Works very well as an ebook reader. Not sure why you would call it a crippled device.
