So he had his head pounded into the pavement, his nose broken, and he shows up at the police station less than a half an hour later without a drop of blood on him or his clothes or so much as a bandaid. Not trip to the EF for an x-ray or an MRI.
Hate to point this out, but your great deal requires a keyboard too. No thanks, ain't touching that thing with a 10 foot pole. And what 'crap' (besides -possibly- a keyboard) is it you think you need with an iPad without which, it's worthless?
No genius, no one thinks that you can slap Steam on an iPad and play literally hundreds of F2P games.
On the other hand, Apple sold something on the order of 50 million tablets this past year, and something on the order of 320 million units when you wrap that together with the iPhone and the iPod touch. Possibly something developers might be paying attention to.
Jesus, any gaming PC you can build for $350 is one/I/ don't want. But even at that, the/realistic/ price for a 360 on Amazon is at least $200, so you're already at $550. You can have the iPad 3 for $499.
I'll take that over a piece of shit $350 pc thanks. Any PC I own will be a long sight better than that.
And only requires you to lay out a few thousand dollars to create your book that may or may not sell without the backing of a real publishers, as opposed to having said real publisher pay you money in advance to create your book and then handle all the ancillary details for you.

The eBook Backlash

Unfortunately, there are a whole hell of lot of books that aren't published by Baen.
Fortunately, I don't find current ebook pricing to be, for the most part, that out of line.
After all, the vast majority of funding for pro-global warming studies comes from government grants where even one grant exceeds the total spent by private groups to oppose this viewpoint.
sigh. No, The Birds is not 'crap' by current story-telling standards. Witness that every single film school studies Hitchcock in detail. Because you're too stupid and/or riddle with ADHD is not the fault of Hitchcock.
And no, LotR is not crap by modern story telling standards. Anymore than Shakespeare is. People will still be reading it in 100 years.
As I said, go back to Transformers 3. It appears to be just about at the right level for you.
Yes, fine idea. Show a movie intended for adults to kids use that to judge it. I'm sure you would show them Saw as well.
As for spelling, flames, well, we all know about them.

Because that's what you want to do, trust you health care to the lowest bidder.
Racist.
He wasn't a criminal you fucking halfwit, and there was only one of him, not four.
He was on the phone in his SUV!!!
When did /. fill up with racist fuckwits?

The truth is, this sort of model is used in many industries. Try buying a Vox AC-15 amplifier anywhere for a penny less than $599.

So who IS going to hire the editing team?
I seriously doubt there is any bank on earth thats going to provide loans to authors to subsidize their self-published e-books.
In part because the agency model is allowing companies like B&N to compete with them.
And the overwhelmingly suck.
Citation or it didn't happen.

Not those from the real publishers.

Cite. Because I call bullshit.
This is factually untrue and easily refuted. If this is how carefully you research all your science, I'm not surprised you're a denialist.

Saw does such a fine job of respecting the intellect of the viewer. Go back to Transformers 3.
By your standards, I expect Transformers 3 was /way/ better than Citizen Kane.

You're remarks about Alfred Hitchcock and the fact that you even /mentioned/ Saw in the same paragraph says it all.
