And if you and everyone else do the same, some Thai factories may get shutdown and workers may be fired. How does this affect the king?
When you get mad at your boss, do you go home and kick your dog?
Perhaps you should consider the Akihabara massacre.
To quote Penn and Teller, "You can stop insane people from doing insane things with insane laws. It's insane!"
No one is saying you can't kill people without guns. It's just harder to do so. Even in the Akhihabara incident, if he had a gun, you really don't believe there would be more than just the 7 dead?
Yes, actually, someone said exactly that, making your statement a straw man. I refuted the claim that no one had died in a mass murder without a gun. But if we are going to imagine things, then imagine what could have happened had there been one trained individual there with a gun - perhaps the body count would have been one (the attacker) rather than seven? We can engage in what-if scenarios all day long - the point is getting rid of guns doesn't stop mass murder (the school was a "gun free zone", as was Virginia Tech), but identifying and helping crazy people will.
Nope. Re-read it. Perhaps you didn't read about the concurrent knife attack on schoolchildren in China. He was saying that no one died in that particular example of a knife attack. The reasonable "imagined" alternative scenario is if that attacker had a gun. The reasonable supposition would be that there would have been a greater likelihood of fatalities, and a larger number of them. It was most certainly not a generalization about it being impossible to kill people without a gun. You're the one making a straw man based on an incorrect reading of the post you replied to.

....Fortunately for them some people don't care, some people are too cheap, and some people like me prefer GSM because its an international standard
The iPhone 5 has GSM no matter which company you go with. Only the Verizon and Sprint versions have CDMA. And for LTE, the two different varieties use different bands. Which variety you will want (if you want LTE internationally) for international travel depends on which country you're visiting. For GSM, it doesn't matter.
McAfee catching a virus.
Well, that would be new!
No it wouldn't.
you mean this product
that has been out for several years with multiple hardware generations?
Unless you've been living in a cave, you know perfectly well what he means.
I would love to see Google block Apple from their search results and all of their services, but we both know that's not going to happen.
And give Bing a foot in the door with a couple of hundred million iOS devices? That'd be like trying to hurt someone by punching yourself in the face.
Fanboys aside, pragmatists aren't very fond of Apple. Pragmatists aren't suckered by hype. That is why they realize how strongly Apple resembles Microsoft in its heyday. Apple is perhaps worse - until recently Microsoft didn't so strongly control what could run on Windows the way Apple controls their walled garden. Apple is just more talented at appearing innocuous. Their marketing is more effective. No one proudly sported Windows the way some Apple fans show off their iDevices. Still doesn't change the nature of the corporation though.
Have you ever considered the possibility that some people actually *value* a walled garden? Like nearly everyone who isn't a tech geek? Which is like 99% of the people buying these devices?
It looks ok, but it's nothing special. Apple will keep their loyal followers, but don't expect the market share to grow.
1) iPhone 4 users 2) China 3) Brazil I FULLY expect the market share to grow. Furthermore: 1) iPad mini 2) iTV I fully expect the earnings to continue to grow.
Why because they increased by 1.35% (papa can get those new dancing shoes now)? My Nokia shares have almost doubled in value since i bought them a month ago.
I bought mine before the 1st iPad and have continued to buy shares because I had confidence in their long term growth and still do. Can you say the same for Nokia? I buy and hold. Doubled shares in one month is because of luck, not wise investing. If you think it is, then good luck to you in all your investments. Because that's what you're going to need.
