I buy Windows Phone because of the UI. It's about a decade ahead of Android and Apple's "lots of little random icons on a grid" thing that most people still tolerate for some bizarre reason.

I think this is for people who want the better interface and the better performance of a Windows Phone, but with access to a few more apps.

If you're a 12 year old that wants to install as many apps as possible, you're not going to get a Windows Phone in the first place.

Right, it sucks that they had to close all the schools, in order to afford this :(

You're right. It does. That's my point.

I'm so proud that the US government will spare no amount of time, effort, or money in developing new ways to kill people. Killing people is much more important than health, education, social services, and the non-war economy.

You won't find a male engineer that became an engineer to feel better about himself and the 'societal good' he can do, that's for sure.

Speak for yourself. Some people have interests that go beyond the amount of money they can make.

I've got the HTC M8 One running Windows, and quite honestly, I don't think I've ever rebooted it

I'm not sure they'll ever make money in computers again if the Windows/Office gravy train ever comes to a halt.

You really think that's where they make most of their money? You've never read an 8-K, have you?

It's easy to run a business if the owners don't care about profit. Microsoft actually makes money. Huge difference. You go ahead and buy that Amazon stock. I'll keep my Microsoft stock, thanks.

That's funny. I trust them with my business, and it's worked out pretty well for me.

Oh, my lord! The shenanigans! They provided their web browser as a default with their OS! Lord, I feel like I'm getting the vapors!

Drama queen.

Competing with other companies is not what I, or most people would describe as "Evil", so quit with the hyperbole.

"Evil"? "Sin"? Please. Trying to kill the competition is what *every* business does. You're kidding yourself if you think otherwise. And Microsoft wasn't trying to kill the competition by doing anything other than competing with them. This whole "Microsoft is evil and Google isn't" is really pretty childish.

Who walks around without $2 in their pocket? What a tragic waste of time and effort.

Personally I think this issue and other other pressures on ocean life from man such as pollution and plastic debris is far more pressing in the snort term than global warming but hardly anyone - even the enviromentalists - makes a big deal about it.

There are quite a few large studies about the plastic content in the oceans, and quite a few oceanographers have raised concerns. You should Google it!

The more people you hire, the more you pay in taxes, not less.

Business 101:

Income - Expenses (including wages) = Profit * Tax Rate

When income taxes are HIGHER, it makes more sense to hire more people. Increase expenses and lower taxes.
