Similar here, although I do buy some new releases when they hit about $15 if I want them badly. But with Amazon discounting so many titles so much, we now have an unwatched backlog of blu-rays of probably 40 movies, which tempers my impulsiveness.

They have a pretty fair number of high profile movies that are as low as $5 that are less than 2 years old. Why the hell would I rent a stream for $4 when I can own the movie?

Read Anandtech's review, he shows where all the I/O of the system is being used, which will show you why there is no second PCIe port.

Seriously? Maybe people our age (going by your UID# I am going to assume we're of the same generation), but you're nuts if you think that is true of people under 30, or even 40.

I am not clear what you mean by this. All Apple's products appear to be in the upper third of pricing for devices of their type. Are you referring to the categories of devices they have entered?

Specifically, it said "This Season Pass includes all current and future episodes of Breaking Bad, The Final Season."

Except, as noted elsewhere, terminology that is almost certainly written by Apple says "This Season Pass includes all current and future episodes of Breaking Bad, The Final Season.", since that is their boilerplate wording used everywhere.

That alone makes them liable in this case.

Explain how any whistleblower is supposed to expose something if they are not allowed to make information public that the public does not already have access to?

I think you'll find Apple are not "the one" that does not pay any tax, but rather that describes all the corporations.

The stated reason is due to it being based on action for a standards essential patent, not economic reasons. The presumption is eventual payment received through litigation will make the plaintiff whole, as licenses cannot be refused for SEPs. the only thing at issue is FRAND payment.

Well, they thought the market had been penetrated the straightforward way, but there was still an available opening for them to penetrate it the MS way. You know.

Because you hold the 5-11" screen 6-12" from your face, not 120" inches like your TV.

And yes you can see the difference. My middle aged farsighted vision can see it.

The $900M is just to drop the price from $500 to $350 (6M units X $150).

If they are going to sell them for even less, they would need to take another/bigger write down. Shareholders hated the first one enough that it's not really an option.

If? There are already an awful lot of companies that squeeze more than 40 hour weeks out of people. Non-union fields, though, not surprisingly.

I travel to Japan frequently, and a few years ago it was with somewhat disgusted amusement I read an editorial in a Tokyo newspaper about how whaling was beneficial, in that whales were largely to blame for depleted fisheries. They completely failed to reconcile, or even mention, how fish populations declining parallel whale population declines, or present any evidence for the assertion at all.

There is serious denial there.

You omitted the action they will actually take.
