I owned basically every HTC device starting with Wallaby and finishing with HD2 and I really liked them. My last Palm was Palm III, so I can't really comment on Treo, but I wasn't impressed with PalmOS in the 1990ies.
Maybe to some people, but to me the first iPhone was even inferior to even the first Windows Mobile phone I have bought in 2002 and lightyears behind my then current HTC universal. I mean, ridiculously low display resolution, lack of such basic concepts like running third party applications, copy&paste or multitasking. IPhone has been a feature phone with a touch screen at the release time, not a smartphone.
It is very very slow. If I close a tab that had a few videos running, it can take up to 20 seconds until firefox actually acknowledges that the tab is closed and until it happens, other tabs won't load anything at all. It is a memory hog so on a phone with "just" 2 gigs of RAM (Galaxy S5) I get a lot of force closes. It works somewhat better on Sony phones because their premium line of phones and tablets has 3 gigs of RAM. Reflow doesn't work and hasn't for two years or so. It uses its own copy&paste routines that look and behave differently from the Android stock and are quite buggy. I actually have a lot more complaints, but why bother? As long as no other browser provides the extensions I need, I'll have to stay with Firefox on Android.
Looks like you have no idea about Android Wear watches, but really really wanted to write something. They connect over Bluetooth as well, although some have WiFi so the user can still get notification even if the mobile phone is not in the proximity. And as for the price, the monochrome Pebble costs the same as a LG W100. Pebble Time Round has about the same price as LG W150 or the first generation Motorola Moto360 but both can do more than the Pebble watch. Still, the good old MOTOACTV is a better smartwatch than the modern ones.
Except that it has indeed caused massive unemployment. Communist parties didn't appear out of thin air, you know. They have appeared thanks to masses of disenfranchised and angry people. Hint: Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Human desire is only infinite when all basic needs are satisfied.
It is just like a decade ago or so a lot of sportsmen officially had asthma so they could take clenbuterol legally. Except that someone with actual asthma is unlikely to excel in an endurance sport.
If raising the cost of 20 million cars by 50 cent to save a lie is stupid, then your life is worth only these 50 cents.
Seriously, idiots like you ramble about all lives having a price, but actually meaning that lives of everyone else but them have a price, but they themselves are exempt, whine the loudest if something actually happens to them. This is why I have called you a dumbass - it wasn't even an insult, just stating a fact.
Now. Till the 1970ies it was the other way around. Back then North Korea has been actually less authoritarian than South Korea, as funny as it may sound nowdays.
You are very much misinformed. Both fruit companies hired actual mercenaries to overthrow the respective governments. That has nothing to do with buying politicians. And today companies still hire mercenaries, this has nothing to do with cyberpunk.
Two centuries? A bloody fruit company had overthrown a government of a country only a century ago, and in 1954 another fruit company overthrew a government of yet another country, paying the US government for the training of their mercenaries. Even the Iraq war was very much caused by corporation interests, but only Poland has been honest about this.
UK has been behaving like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum every time things didn't go their way. Unfortunately the rest of the union has been way too soft to the brits instead of telling them a well-deserved "fuck you".
You have read too much bad fiction. In reality armed people usually helped authoritarian governments because former soldiers and gun nuts are usually just fine with authoritarian governments, provided it is their kind of authoritarian.
I am not rewarding anyone - the operating system license was bought with the hardware. I merely have chosen the most practical option. And no, Linux isn't. I develop for Linux at work, but I definitely don't want to use it at home.
And this was precisely the reason why I have switched to Windows 10. Windows 7 lacks support of some more modern hardware and when installing it a shitload of patches had to be installed afterwards. It was mitigated somewhat by Microsoft releasing that kinda-sorta SP2, but by then it was too late.

Neither is an actual option, merely a distant chance for an option.
Porn, on the other hand, is available.

I have too many, so I could sell you a lightly used LG W100 for, say, 50 euros, but the shipping cost is probably prohibitive.

does that really look clean to you?
By your logic USA does exactly that with the VW lawsuit.
So the rocket should rather be named "New Shepard"?
Not really dumb. That particular strain would be several centuries old - it potentially could be more unpleasant than the modern one.

Speed tape in this case.

Yep, and this is why businesses rather pay for damages and lost lives than redesign faulty parts. Dumbass.
Matter of fact they have done just that until Boeing redesigned the battery containment.

Funny thing, this is exactly how I feel about you island monkeys.

There is no need for a device to experience brain zapping. Just quit SSRI cold turkey and have "fun".
