    don't be silly... we ALWAYS reserve some of our hate for microsoft, and while i personally have nothing much against apple as a company (except they suck) i love poking sticks at the apple fanbois; they're a funny crowd.

    And there is nothing we could do to Microsoft that is as bad as what they did to themselves... Windows 8.
    Who would have thought they could top the suck factor of Vista..

    what economical climate is in Iran?

    we have goats, sand, and a bunch of ignorant fucks running the country, thanks but we dont need to import that from you.

    While I would not want to disrespect the economic and cultural nirvana that is modern Iran,
    I would point out that we can export to you things like:
    women wearing shorts that actually spread their ass cheeks,
    thong underwear and even better,
    thong swim suits,
    camel toes that have nothing to do with actual camels,
    college age girls that have "Daddy issues"

    No he just understands balance and equality are not always they same. Sure they can be, but they don't have to be. Imagine a plank on top of a fulcrum at its center. If you put an equal weight on bot ends it will balance and both ends of the plank will be off the ground. Now suppose you move the fulcrum to the left. You will need to put more weight on the left side of the plank for it to wait for it.... Balance.

    Hope that helps

    I agree. In gambling, a good example of this is horse race handicapping. The horses could not possibly be "equal" but by using odds the book makers even out the betting as best they can. Most of the time it works, sometimes a long shot comes in but there should be enough lost wagers on the more favored horses to cover the pay out. Once in a while something astounding happens and the house takes a loss on an event, but most of the time it's the players that pay.

    While it may have had good sales during the Christmas shopping season, I'd like to know the return rate after people found out it was not a $150 laptop but a internet dependent device. I know people that returned Kindle Fire units when they found it was more of a sales portal for Amazon than an actual tablet. I know people that bought e-book readers when they did not even have WiFi in the home... Damn... I need to meet smarter people... But my point is most of the sales are made to people that don't actually understand what they bought. While Chrome the browser is doing great, ChromeOS has not even warranted a label in the stats tables I'm seeing.
