i have no idea anything about this. however just because staliln said it, does not mean she didnt quote him. I didnt hear her say it, im also not looking for it in anyway.
On the flip side of the evil 2 headed coin there was that republican who gave a speech 10 years ago that some guy claimed he spoke at a white power rally. Turns out that wasnt quite true either. Yet people are still out there trying to ruin that mans rep with nasty slander
im guessing you are talking about local news in texas (which makes sense if its not in the dems pockets) as I dont even know what you are talking about as a new yorker
why dont you consider it fair? the pricepoint is similar, the form is similar. both touch screens, both sans keyboard. im not sure why you cant compare the 2
no, its more because they are pussies by themselves (like gang members) and dont have the balls to do it anymore. im pretty sure murder was illegal 100 years ago....
Sure, I can buy a new $150 Motorola every year or two, and it would be a good phone, but I could also just buy my top-of-the-line iPhone and keep it a little longer, and it means that I get a really exemplary phone every once in a while.
that would be awesome if true. however when the iphone 6 came out, there was a phone by moto, samsung, and LG that all had the iphone spanked when it comes to specs.
So in practice, if you bought an iphone 6 at launch, you will still be using it in 4 years as you say. in that time you already bought a phone not as good as others already on the market, which are getting upgraded versions over the next few months. which one might buy, use for 2 years.
at this point you are still on a 2 year old iphone 6, which we already established was not the best phone on the market the day of launch, while I am trading in my note 5 to the new shiney, and you are using your iphone 6 for another 2 years.
yes, i went though more phones than you, but i didnt really pay any more to do so.
Well, Apple doesn't directly destroy the environment with every dollar they make.
i would argue otherwise between rare earth medals and cheap labor, id say they are just as evil as big oil (and by that i mean not evil at all for making things people want/need)
no i was talking about the kickbacks to the campaigns, not the profit number.
It is well known that tech is buddy buddy with the democrats. as are the majority of the media. As such, you dont see many news articles complaining about the "obscene profits" made in the tech industry.
on the other hand, you hear all the time about the obscene profits of the oil industry, eventhough they are making pennies on the dollar and make money on volume, and apple on the other hand (and tech in general) have much higher margins than big oil. double digit differences.
so if the big oil is "bad" for bringing in 5% margins, shouldnt big tech be shamed for bringing in 30+% margins???
ok. so im wondering then. if drawing a photo is worthy of murder. what is the correct response to the "artists" who use christian holy imagry and makes them in, oh i dont know, piss crap and menstrual blood? I mean it must be valid to drop a nuke on the town of the artist who did that right?
there is a huge difference IMO between going out of your way to offend a group of people, and not doing unoffensive things, because crazy people are offended by it.
they can no longer grab everything on everyone and actually have to go back to doing REAL police work. its so hard I tell ya, whatever did cops do about crime before smartphones???
the ipad is in no way the best tablet you can buy. Ill take a surface pro 3 over an ipad anyday. give me ports, give me a full OS, I dont need a 10 inch phone that doesnt make calls.
occupy was protesting.... well everything. there was no one thing that was the focus. You had groups wanting the government to wipe out all student loan debt. you had groups who wanted wall street people hung in the streets, and you had dirty hippies having a giant party.
I spent a number of days there, and frankly it was a disaster by any measure possible
agreed. gaming on the tablet is generally a much better experience over a phone, but with touchscreen laptops, and convertibles a standard tablet isnt for me. I had a kindle fire HD running CM but i found more and more it just sat collecting dust.
Stand by for Occupy Wall Street to protest obscene profits at Apple's headquarters, in three, two; uh nevermind.
Exactly. cant protest how poor we all are and how bad the big bad companies are if we are not seen using our top of the line products, made by said companies!
except for there is no logic behind the complaint that a drawing is offensive, and actually calling someone directly a bad name. no one is forcing them to buy the paper, or read the paper, or look at the image. If you dont like it, dont look at it, its not that complicated.
i admit that i dont like apple. but this is not one of the reasons i dont like them. I dont hold anything against them for paying the taxes they have to and not a penny more. I dont think anyone should pay more in taxes than they have to
but every year we hear about how evil the oil companies are with their thin margins while at the same time ignoring the hugh margins by a company like apple.
when people get government benefits, and pay nothing into it, isnt that wrong as well? People keep telling me about some social contract, well, doesnt that say everyone pays in?
you are leaving out the deductions which after applied mean someone who makes 18 grand a year is not paying taxes (as someone who made slightly over 18K last year will attest. thankfully got back on my feet though)

im sure firemen and scuba divers might be able to help with that....

so the oil companies are the ones claiming the sky is falling and we hit peak oil? I thought that was the tree huggers

and if you burden corporations with higher taxes, the consumer pays more as the costs are passed down to the consumer
in the end, the people pay the taxes one way or another

bet the kid would learn quick that its a bad idea if you let him continue though

im not a fan of apple, but i see nothing wrong with spending the least amount in taxes allowed by law.
appologies, I thought you were breaking it down to the individual. makes more sense now
when people get government benefits, and pay nothing into it, isnt that wrong as well? People keep telling me about some social contract, well, doesnt that say everyone pays in?
not only that, but banning things is not what makes a civilized society. Freedom does, and yes, that includes the freedom to be a dick
