I just want to know where he plans on spending his money...You can't build a computer of any kind without parts from Asia. Even all of those companies with the american flags in their ads are just assembling parts from Asia.
It was one of the most hypocritical posts I have seen in the sea of/. hypocrisy. The walled garden argument is so lame. Calling everyone who says anything positive about Apple a fanboi is equally lame.
Apple is the the high end laptop market, so it is not possible for them to be a generation or two behind. No one else even really participates in a meaningful way.
Be realistic. Android sucks at making the cut-over to wifi AND most of the phones have terrible wifi reception. It is a combination of crap piled on top of crap that makes it such a mountain of bandwidth wasting crap.
Too bad most of that Market share is not in devices that actually have those features? Confused? Me too. What a mess. You pretend like it is not a mess because you are actually what you claim others to be.
Because Amazon's profits went into the tank with the Fire? I am no fan of executive management at most of the carriers, but most of them are not morons...
I am sure you meant small. None of those are even relatively popular software items. I never heard of any of the software items until he provided the links. The book business is essentially non existent and I believe being shut down.
I assume it went a bit likt the NYT story linked above and they spent a year pressuring a guy into doing it. I am not sure it is entrapment, I am equally not sure it is terrorism.
Did you read the story? The guy said no like 100 times. They pushed on him for 11 months, paid him $250k and promised him no women or children would be hurt. Hard for me to call that willing. If the catch a predator people offered the perps $50k to come have sex with them, you might have a similar situation.

Or 3 - 4 shifts of manufacturing either.

Someone really abused their mod points. Great post btw.

Except their hosting of Windows 7 Widgets. Already gone except for the top 10.

On the current MBPs you can choose SSD or spinning disk. On the Airs the HDDs are a bit of a space problem.
Since you can currently image MacBook Airs over the Ethernet dongle, I suppose that argument is gone. Perhaps you never imaged a mac?
They are a bunch of douche bags, they are not doing change for good. They are soley seeking profit (See the Sony incident).

The price of Oil is governed by an international cartel. It is not in any way a free or open market.
I am sure this is also a huge part of it.

The use more bandwidth on the carriers, I think that is true. It is because Android is a POS that never cuts over to Wifi when it is supposed to.
It is actually because wifi integration and cut-over works 100000000000x better on the iPhone than any Android phone...

ANd now it is down to #13. It certainly seems like nobody wants it now....
You should ask your law school for a refund. Oh wait, Nm...

These people may (and likely are) be shitbags, but we pay the FBI to stop crime not create it.
Or you are a moron that is cajoled by professional government con men for a year and then offered a big payout?
Are you sure you read the story? They pushed on the guy for a year and paid him $250k...
Actually we do. They did 11 months of pushing and pulling. Then they offered the guy $250k.
