No, in fact there was an interview with him last Friday where he said specifically that they don't think they did anything wrong, and will continue operating as they had been.
Some people actually venture "outside" for long periods of time. They also go to conferences and stuff where outlets are not readily available, due to people like you camping on them.
I use these esoteric, futuristic pieces of technology known as "electrical outlets".
And when they're not around? Or worse, when you're at someplace like an airport or a conference, and the outlets are being camped by others already?
How do I edit a LaTeX file without a keyboard?
How many people actually need to do this? Plus, there's the on screen keyboard. It's not a good option, but far better than not being able to edit the file in the first place because you couldn't hook up to an outlet to use your laptop.
I like how you refer to him as a "hipster freelance writer", but then take the position that you have "real work to do", implying that he doesn't do "real work".
I think if the kids had to choose between having a Netbook of their own, or 50/50 sharing the (twice as expensive) iPad, they'd probably go for having their own Netbook
So you're saying that if kids have to decide between sharing something, and having their own of something, they'll choose to have their own? Wow, what a breakthrough in the world of parenting.
Define "useful". Are you gonna try and claim that a writer for TIME is not doing something "useful"? If so, then take it a step further. Are other journalists doing something "useful"? How about just other authors/writers?
Fuck off with this "personal nanny" bullshit. All it does is make you look like an ass. Asking the government to do it's job, and enforce the laws is NOT asking for a "personal nanny". Furthermore, as has been shown, business is more than willing to completely abuse their workers, and they have very little, if any, recourse.
Yeah, no. That doesn't hold up, logically. Furthermore, it doesn't hold up when someone isn't able to fill a position for a given wage; in that instance, the wage offered is not worth how much time would be needed.
Yea, thats not a credible answer in an atmosphere where everyone is preparing for election season and trying not to piss voters off.
Youre telling me Obama is busy trying to sell his image as a job maker, and a group of republicans have decided "screw it, we're going to piss off as many constituents as possible"?
No, that's what the Republicans themselves are trying to tell you. Although they're trying to sell it as being "Anti-Obama".
We're talking about overtime here, so 40 hours is irrelevant. Furthermore, you still haven't produced any evidence that 5 weeks of vacation is somehow "lazy".
You're gonna need to back that up with some citations. You're also going to have to find some data that shows that the majority of employees are not being abused by their employers. And simply stating that people are still working there isn't gonna cut it.

Why? I mean, according to you, it takes absolutely no effort, and you consistently get multi-million dollar paydays.
What? Are you trying to say that there isn't any work involved in administering a major class action lawsuit?
Furthermore, what "hard work" did it take to be charged a $1.50 processing fee?
Would you be willing to take whatever product your company makes in payment, instead of cash?
No, in fact there was an interview with him last Friday where he said specifically that they don't think they did anything wrong, and will continue operating as they had been.
While the lawyers do deserve a decent return for their work, do they really deserve more than the actual settlement?

And how do tables *become* better? Is there a full software development environment that is iOS- or Android-based?
How exactly would that make them better?
The fact that you want it for Windows or Linux means you want to take a picture of a check at your desk. That's borderline lazy...
Or he wants to not have to take the checks down to the bank. There's probably several better things he could do with his time.
I like how you refer to him as a "hipster freelance writer", but then take the position that you have "real work to do", implying that he doesn't do "real work".
You've made your point. It's not for you. Luckily, not everyone is you. Get over yourself.
And you can't use the same USB SD card reader that you're using on a laptop?
...OK? Good for you? Why the fuck should we care?

Actually, the keyboard isn't built in. It's $150 extra.
Define "useful". Are you gonna try and claim that a writer for TIME is not doing something "useful"? If so, then take it a step further. Are other journalists doing something "useful"? How about just other authors/writers?
So because it doesn't fit your very narrow and uncommon use case, it's worthless?

Stop talking out of your ass for once.
Sorry, I meant valid justification, not lobbying.
Yeah, no. That doesn't hold up, logically. Furthermore, it doesn't hold up when someone isn't able to fill a position for a given wage; in that instance, the wage offered is not worth how much time would be needed.
If they can't get people with the wage they're offering, then that wage is below market.
Yea, thats not a credible answer in an atmosphere where everyone is preparing for election season and trying not to piss voters off.

Yeah, no. That doesn't work. A company already decides what pricing they want to use.
