He said, "Name a 'show for men' that women wouldn't want to watch too." So, can you?
Absolutely. The League.
You know, the entire Gamergate movement was predicated on the notion that feminists had no business reviewing games that were geared towards men. "Let them make their own games" was the rallying cry.
You just have to look at the outpouring of rage from whiny-ass MRA manbabies regarding the re-boot of Ghostbusters with an all-female cast to see how this mechanism plays out. If it's targeted at men, then men believe they should be the ones to review. If it's targeted at women, then men believe they should be the ones the review. And god forbid a woman should offer an opinion because, "IT'S NOT MEANT FOR YOU". Hell, these embarrassing needledicks have been overwhelming the reviews of Ghostbuster and it hasn't even come out yet.
Fuck these losers. If they got out and met a few human girls in person, they might not be so skeevy that they have time to carpet bomb any show or movie that has women in it. Remember the outrage over the latest Star Wars? How the MRAs were going to boycott? They degrade all of masculinity with their incessant whining.
It actually did. This would have been the late '90s, when Apple had products like the early powerbooks and Newton and the beige G3s. I was faculty at a prestigious university and Apple was so into the education market that they flew certain "opinion leaders" (I happened to be on the technology oversight committee) and our CIO to Cupertino for a week to get a tour of the campus and to get wined and dined and fed bad pastries and good coffee. The CFO of Apple took us out to dinner to tell us about their then huge capitalization (it was the beginning of the go-go Apple era) and how Apple would always serve the education market. That's when he told the cockamamie story about the bite out of the Apple. It was obviously horseshit, but it was also right around the time Apple started abandoning the education market, even though the focus on handheld consumer devices was still a few years away.
So.... Chromebooks are selling like gangbusters to a demographic that is very likely to smash their devices, and it's easier to replace a $200 computer than a $2000 one? Holy crap, stop the presses!
I don't know if you're old enough to remember when Apple ruled the education market at all levels. I had the CFO of Apple tell me straight to my face that the "bite" out of the Apple logo represented their undying commitment to education.
Now, they're committed to the hipster-at-Starbucks market who will soon run out of their parents' money to buy new Apple products.
No, if it hasn't been tested by the FCC for that purpose then it can't be sold for it. Simple as that. If they didn't buy the driver to use the radio, then it won't work. And most importantly, if the radio is not connected to an antenna, it isn't going to work.
If the seller of the phone believes 90% of the people aren't going to use the FM chip, then they can save lots of money by not having it tested by the FCC, not developing software/buying drivers, and not hooking up the hardware internally.
Even if as you say it's the same exact phone as in Europe, and they have the license for the drivers... they may just not get it tested by the FCC. Then no matter what, it's going to be illegal to activate that radio if it was never tested by the FCC.

Dummy, you're not paying attention. They have been tested by the FCC. Cell phones have been coming with working FM radios for years. My old RAZR flip phone had a goddamn working FM radio. Early smart phones had working FM radios.
In summary: IT HAS BEEN TESTED BY THE FCC. It's an FM radio receiver after all. It's not alien technology. It's been around for 75 years.
not hooking up the hardware internally
Hey, shortbus, the hardware IS hooked up internally. It just doesn't have drivers (in the case of many Android phones, although you can find Android phones with working AND FCC TESTED radios) and in the case of iPhones, where the OS is locked up tighter than a mosquitoes vagina, who the fuck knows. You make it sound like there's some strange, alien untested FM radio receiver leaking radiation that's manufactured into every smartphone chipset that the manufacturers are somehow "unplugging" to protect us from running afoul of the FCC. Your argument is ridiculous on its face.
Look, I'm trying to be polite here. But just give a bit of thought to what you're saying, OK?
The report is from the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, which are financed by the U.S. Government. Surely, they'd never lie to us.
So I guess this puts the issue to rest, once and for all.
Except you didn't pay for the FM radio receiver... maybe software (drivers) license wasn't bought, maybe the testing wasn't done to make sure it didn't interfere with other radios... there are probably lots of reasons. It's not like just turning on the FM receiver is the only part of the equation.
Come on. Don't try to bullshit a bullshitter. I've had cell phones with FM radios that work before and they did not interfere with calls. If a call was made or came in, it would just cut the radio audio out for the duration of the call.
This is just a way to get people to pay for what they used to get for free. That's the business model of all the telecoms and the companies they "partner" with.
Not any more. We live in an age of HD Radio on the FM band. You can pick up all the big AM stations on the FM band and the major sports are all broadcast on big stations. Even on standard FM, the big flagship stations almost always partner with a local FM station. For example, I can hear every Yankees game on 97.9 The Fan and all Red Sox games on 96.5-2.
Back in Chicago, Bears games are on 105.9 FM and Hawks games on 88.5 (though I think WGN may have sold that FM frequency.
You've got to look around, but you can find the big local sports on FM.
I wonder how much of this is actual consumer demand for listening to ads and the same songs every hour to avoid data overages vs. FM radio's last desperate gasp to remain relevant
Or maybe it's sports fans that would like to listen to the game. In most cases, local sports teams broadcast their games on the radio, but block those games from being streamed without an expensive subscription, and in some cases provide no way at all to stream the games.
Terrestrial radio is about a lot more than top-40 music. Right here in my neck of the woods, there are classical stations, jazz stations, news, etc.
If I'm paying for an FM radio receiver, I'd like to be able to use that FM radio receiver.

That is a true statement for any value of X.
Good luck with that.
Anyway, for sheer entertainment, I think having the Bulgarian weight-lifting team bang each other would be better.
You know, at some level, it has to be an indicator of the man's judgement that he can look in the mirror and say, "looking good".
Plus the fact that his wife and kids don't show a little concern and tell him to back off the hairspray and man-tan.
Wait, you're supposed to wear it on your...? Oh, never mind.

That's good. I've been wearing the same condom since 2003.

The fact that this was downmodded so quickly is proof that SJWs did 9/11.
Probably less than the amount spent on fake tanning spray by Donald Trump.
