Comment Re:Yeah, Elon thought auto industry was ready for. (Score 1) 238

At the end of the day, I think Google wants the information about people's driving destinations, habits, etc. People will offer this to Google for discount car insurance. Google will use it to sell more appropriate ads and make more money. They will get this data as well with their automated cars, but it will be awhile before everyone is driving one.

MSFT Surface tablets can be had for $200 to $400 which are better specs than most $200 Android tablets.

At $800 you were looking at the high end full on laptop Surface Pro...which really should be compared to ultra-books or Macbook Airs. In that comparo they are really pretty solid value for people who want a full PC in a tablet like profile.

Streaming will become a commodity as there are multiple reliable/convenient methods to access content. Content will be the differentiator, and Amazon isn't going to want to rely on a third party relationship to provide that.

Cue the count down until Disney is bought by Apple for similar reasons.

PCs are definitely cheaper than Macs. But they are not better value. Rarely will a PC spec'd similar to a Mac cost less. I discovered that when looking at the $2,000 Macbook Pro. Not much on the PC market that could touch it for less than $1,500 and none of those PCs were really better as a total package.

I'll be honest. I would be very very hard to not put a fucking bullet in the head of anyone who threatened, let alone tried to take my child away from me. I'd be that case you'd hear about on TV where the parent murdered the people who came to take his child away and everything would go to shit. And it could all happen because a teacher makes a mistake in their perception of a situation. Scary world. How things can escalate.

I was joking a bit. I understand where you're coming from, although my personal experience in life has been mostly the opposite to what you argue.

But punching an entire group of people in the face because a minority are mean doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

"mean" is not the right word. most of these people are nice. just insulting.

religious people are often insulting atheists and people who put their faith in science, if not overtly, then in discriminating ways.

saying things like there are no morals with out god. calling people heathens. threatening that we will suffer greatly after we die.

does that mean we can punch them in the face?
