You get a pyramid scheme or bubble when there's a disconnect between the actual value of the item being speculated upon, and the price that is placed on it by the speculators.
But the supply of diamonds has been limited with the intention of raising the price above what they'd be worth otherwise.
The exact opposite has had to occur with Apple stock over the years.
That your friends wish to raze Redmond to the ground is not helpful in the least in deciding whether to consider a Win 7 phone. You are not sharing your experience. You're just ranting.
I'm also quite aware that Windows Mobile was pretty poor. This is not Windows Mobile. So your posts haven't even been on topic, much less about "sharing experience."

Press conferences are not evidence. Testimony is not evidence. If they don't bring a body or a spaceship to this press conference, then there is absolutely nothing new here at all.
The problem is, our government is not free enough, when boiled down to a government whos only job is to protect against fraud and force both corporations and consumers win.
No, the problem is your silly libertarianism, which somehow makes you believe that a government powerful enough to protect against fraud and illegitimate use of force, won't be powerful enough to become that "tyrannical, omnipotent state" you fear so much. And one that is not powerful enough to become a "tyrannical, omnipotent state" can't do jack squat about preventing or punishing fraud or illegitimate use of force. Because - get this - when people commit fraud, they try to hide it. So to protect against fraud, your enforcement agency needs to have the power to force people to do things and reveal things they want to keep secret. That means it must have bigger guns than the fraudsters have, and a populace that wants to have this protection backing it up.
Sorry, your ideology and the conclusions it leads to, is retarded.
look at Sweden with 86% voter turnout because they use proportional voting.
Yeah, look at Sweden with its powerful central government.
Which is why it is important to either have a very limited government that wouldn't let these abuses happen...
Let's think for a second about what a very limited, practically powerless government will be able to do to prevent any abuse the corporate world wants to impose. Will it be empowered to at least write a sternly-worded letter? Because a sternly-worded letter will at least make them think twice before doing what they were going to do anyway, won't it?
... or allow for party-list based proportional representation in order to get people involved in politics and generate good government.
I guarantee making voting more complicated is not the answer. You need an educated, informed electorate first. But if you have that, playing silly games with the ballot won't be necessary.
The "high" price? Only thing "high" is you. What are you smoking, that $350/mo for 1Gbit seems "high?"
Split among 10 people, that's $35 pp for 100 Mbit. How much does your cable, DSL, or fiber provider charge for 100 mbit service? Do they even offer it?
Split among 100 people, it's $3.50 pp for 10 Mbit. How much does your cable, DSL or fiber provider charge for 10 mbit service?
The camera is a nice addition, but there is no compelling reason to upgrade from my Touch gen2 to this, unless there was a real GPS chip in it. Maybe they will add one before Android totally eats their lunch.
Honestly, I don't think it would be unfair to pay for priority service.
The problem is when they begin to degrade our service to make it look like you are getting something for your money.
Remember, these are the people who, when they discovered that 96% of their users were using just a fraction of the bandwidth they were paying for, decided to raise the rates on the 4% who were getting what they paid for.
Topes are what they call speed bumps in Mexico (the word means "limit"). They are usually found on the highway as you approach a village, though large cities will put them at strategic places to control traffic speed. They are very effective. They do not require vigilance from law enforcement. They work even if the government is corrupt. They are cheap. They require little maintenance.
Your interpretation was what I meant. There are many private security companies that can fulfill this need. Even hiring off-duty police officers invites conflict of interest. We frown upon elected officials taking payment for services rendered to private parties, we should frown upon police officers doing the same.
And increase police and firefighter pay, FFS, so they don't feel like they have to work a second job to get by.
Could a private legal fund file suit in court to prevent a specific but unknown oil company from drilling offshore wells in an oil field that has yet to be discovered, but which will inevitably produce a uncontrolled spill due to criminal negligence that will surely cause massive environmental destruction and loss of livelihood for hundreds of thousands of people?

It is only sold unlocked, so there are no carrier subsidies.
Remember before the TSA was created, when airline security was required to be provided by the airlines themselves, and was therefore a cost center?
I used to work in that job in those good old days. 30 minutes' training and out to the X-ray machines you go, earning a little more than minimum wage.
Yes, he titles his videos in Japanese, and plays a awesome slap bass line to Japanese pop songs.
But he is actually a Korean. Check out his YouTube page: H.J.Freaks
He can also shred a Strat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQShZ2Tnshk

But you didn't share any experience. You merely asserted it was a very poor product, without naming any reasons why you thought so.

And I always tell people, if you voted in the last election, it's all your fault.

This service is almost unbelievably cheap!

High-end SATA cables are pointless unless he also got some anti-vibration pads for his NAS cabinet.
You're right. They suck because Lucas made terrible films. Crapping on our childhood memories was just a bonus for him.
In before LucasFilm sues their asses off.
And from the looks of the thing, Bungie/Microsoft may want to take a shot, too.
