do you not see the BS that our government spends its tax money on? there is nothing honorable about giving the government more money to spy on us with than we are obligated to.
and also if thats the issue, why are there talks about increasing taxes on gas now that the price has finally dropped to a reasonable level? all they are gonna do is continue to demonize big oil, while taking the money themselves.
in other words, if you want something that just works, but to be dictated on how you can use it. go apple. if you want something that just works, but you can do what you wish with it, dont?
funny. when it comes to most people, the actual dollar amount never seems to matter. The fact that the top 10% of americans pay almost 70% of all the taxes collected by the feds never seems to matter.
well my anecdotal information is not the same as yours. Ive had a few macbooks over the years, and not one lasted more than 2 years before having a major issue. On the other hand I have a sony viao from 2007 that I still use without any issues, still on the initial HDD no less. and I am still rocking an android GS2 and GS3 without any issues (other than a bat swap on the GS2)
Vertical maglev? Why hasnt anyone done that before? Wouldnt be hard to make safe either, in case of power loss, hace a locking system on each floor or each foot or something.
To be clear I wasnt taking a dig at obama. Simply saying the president seriously costs way to much, there jas got to be a better way to keep him safe, and not cost hundreds of millions a year to do
sounds more like the issue is with the people of Seattle. stop voting in people who restrict your access and get someone in there who is not sucking on the teat
interesting, im doing everything I can to get out of NY and down to NC for the food, the people, and the lower cost of living.
North Carolina is a shithole filled with backward rednecks, ignorant
lazy violent blacks, and idiots from other countries who may be able to design
an ASIC but who can't drive any better than a chimpanzee.
You say this as if its not the same in NY, or NJ, or cali, or texas or....
other countries were forced to have the same views as us otherwise there is hell to pay for countries who are soft on drugs. be it withholding aid, or actually starting a coup to get in more hardline leadership. by hardline i mean will follow the drugs are bad mm'kay mantra
apologies not sure how I overlooked that. I read into the "hesitant to buy apple" part. You go on to explain that his issue was not the norm. I simply was pointing out that there are always issues. If its not lack of support its a bad rollout causing downtime. Its not exclusive to apple by anymeans, but it seems bigger because they dont put out a phone every week like android phones seem to be released
"But do realize, that was an outlier and is atypical of what Apple does. I doubt you would see that from them again. "
I simply pointed out that no, it is well within the norm for apple to not be perfect as every release there are issues (real and imagined) by supporters of the product, as well as pretty much any product that receives an update
my guess is its the same AC who posts how everything is the republicans fault in everythread. especially threads that have no politics attached to them, like this one. you will always see this trolls post because no matter what it is, he tries to somehow make it the republicans fault
who knows why, maybe his daddy didnt love him enough when he was little (or he loved him too much?)

here yes, I was refering to the media who is constantly bashing oil for their "profits" when they say nothing about apple

right, yet eventhough they pay 70% of the taxes, (and the lower 50% pay nothing in taxes) its still not good enough
ughhh what? I was simply pointing out that his anecdotal evidence is different than mine. thats it. nothing more to see here
and also if thats the issue, why are there talks about increasing taxes on gas now that the price has finally dropped to a reasonable level? all they are gonna do is continue to demonize big oil, while taking the money themselves.
thats one theory. I think it has more to do with who is paying kickbacks to who.
and followed that up by voting obama in twice. We really are freaking stupid here in america
in other words, if you want something that just works, but to be dictated on how you can use it. go apple. if you want something that just works, but you can do what you wish with it, dont?
maybe the governments need to get with the times
so how about instead of screwing the companies (who will pass the screwing down to us) we fix the tax code for us???
I know, too logical to ever actually happen
in other words, they are taxed on the stuff they should be taxed on, and they are smart enough to not pay taxes they dont have to

as much as they can, like any smart company/ person.
yet we never hear about how bad the "rich" apple is, yet oil companies are lambasted for their "obscene" profits. I wonder why that is???

or we stop treating our president as a king, and start treating him the way he treats us
yes, you have some truth with that, but look at this disaster that is mexico and columbia, at the hands of the US policy
