And they're only able to do that due to the infrastructure, security, and educational system maintained by the government, the poor, and the middle class.
Also, your statement that without the government defending them, the rich would quickly become poor, you're suggesting that the government is/should be an extortion racket, like the mafia.
He's not saying anything like that and you know it. Seriously, if what he said is not true, then let's see the rich go to Somalia, and try to keep hold of their wealth there. Hell, lets see them go with nothing, and see if they can build themselves up to be half as successful as they are here.
I'm saying that those who expect people w/ higher incomes to pay more have class envy, regardless of what they're actually earning. It's the attitude that qualifies it.
And you'd be completely full of shit, and not understand at all the progressive tax system. Hell, I'd say anyone advocating for a system like yours wants to wage class warfare against the poor, as your system would cause them the greatest amount of pain. You'd be shifting the burden from those that can afford it easily to those who can't afford it at all.
No you don't. You don't know anyone like that. You're just spouting off some crap that's the new "welfare queen" from the Reagan days. Same shit, different costume.
I have to say, that would be extremely interesting to see what Steve Jobs could do at HP. Even more interesting to see the competition between him at HP and his proteges at Apple.
If the board resigned, then they can't really do anything to try and fix things. That's just them saying that this is going down, and they're getting the fuck out of there.
Because that's the only metric to go on, right? To say nothing of the fact that she squandered $2.5 billion on Skype, she oversaw upheaval of the rules that led to mass exoduses away from eBay, and really just kinda rode the dot com boom up to the top.
Fuck, if anything, HP needs a completely product focused CEO. Forget the sales, leave that to the President or one of the VPs. HP needs a CEO that is just going to focus on getting new, innovative, desirable product, and getting it out the door.
Who the fuck cares? The fact of the matter is, the phone received more than 2 years worth of updates. Hell, if you're gonna go with that completely bullshit remark, then the majority of Android devices have never gotten any updates. So yes, the most useful metric is when the phone was first sold. Even phones sold a year after still get the benefit of the updates.
Oh, and not to derail your little anti-Apple fanboy rant, but the 3G was still sold after the 3GS was released.
Or they could put it into the requirements for putting the Google Apps on the phone. Not many people want to buy a phone without the Android Market on there.
Ummm, no? Every time I've installed CM, there's a corresponding pack with the Google Apps, that includes the market. Either I download that with CM, or if I use Rom Manager, it does it for me.
Why the fuck should the "economic sense" come into play? We're asking them to support their god damned phone, and Google is trying to force them to do it.
As good as the CM guys are, just because they can get a version onto a phone doesn't mean it will work WELL. There's a world of difference between the testing they do and the testing the OEMs do.
What the fuck are you smoking? The iPhone 3G was released in July 2008. It got iOS 4.2.1 in November 2010. That's more than TWO YEARS of updates. It also originally shipped with iOS 2.0, meaning it got two major updates during that time. Most Android handsets are lucky if they get one, and not the one that just came out.
I honestly don't give a shit about their "business strategy". All I know is that Apple is keeping devices up to date far longer than most of the Android vendors. That gives them a couple points over the Android makers in that regard.
If that's how you decide to paraphrase anything that I've said, you're either not reading my posts or you're completely missing the point. Nothing I've said even approaches this twisted viewpoint you claim I've espoused.
That is exactly what your viewpoint is showing. You are pushing for this "austerity" bullshit which is balanced on the backs of the poor, and stating that the rich owe absolutely nothing to society, despite the fact that it is our society that allowed them to flourish.
And yet, the Tea Party is fighting to cut funding for education, and is fighting to teach creationism in schools. How is that not anti-education again?

Wow! Super Extreme Regressive Tax coupled with No Way You're Going to Raise Enough Revenue! Where do I sign up!
Not full tea party candidates, as that would never really fly in California.

Considering even that copy of Windows 7 has still had the benefit of 2 years worth of updates baked in, sure.
And when was the last one sold?

Oh fuck off. Yes, because I don't put the business's profits and needs before my own, I clearly have "no concept of other people."

Who gives a fuck, honestly? Google is not going to go after you for downloading the Google Apps.

Mainly because the Nexus phones aren't available on all carriers. If I was on Verizon, I'd be out of luck.
That's their problem, not mine. Remember, its the manufacturers that need to make the updates, not Google.

So everything is just black and white? No middle ground?
