No they didn't. Look I can say stuff too.

Well put. I also don't ever complain about other people joyfully expressing their beliefs. If it makes them happy, good. I only get concerned when people use religion as a justification for expressing their hate. Too many religions fail to denounce the radical elements. How people who believe in God can also believe it is ok to hate God's creations is confusing to me.

There is little logical or consistent about Christianity in general. Catholicism has a decent framework, unfortunately many of the key practitioners turned out to be the worst kind of hypocrites. Christianity in general is a mess. Most non-catholic Christian denominations in the US are primarily based on fear and hate. Much like my former political party is now.

If by fight you mean slaughter each other by the millions, I am with you.

I agree with your distinction between religion and belief. I have no problem with people believing what you want. However, you don't get to change the null-hypothesis just because you have (or believe you have) facts to the contrary. The hypotheses for determining the existence of anything has to be it doesn't exist. It is impossible to prove anything doesn't exist. If I believe fire-breathing flying unicorns that cure cancer are among us, is the burden really on you to prove me wrong?

Indeed the other posting "Flying Unicorns Live! Unless you can prove otherwise."

You see a lot of crime and mayhem committed by radical atheists recently? I can show you hundreds of thousands of people that because of religion over the past century. Can you show even one that because of atheism?

I ordered my iPad 2 on launch day and it was pretty painless. I was in China at the time so it was pretty easy to be awake for the US launch. I don't understanding waiting in line or even setting an alarm to wake up at 3:00 am.

No you didn't. I mean it is a neat story, but it's not true. If you told me that in an interview or even a discussion I woiuld have just hung up on you. Any problems at all with the antenna were completely eliminated with a headset. If you can be bothered to use the free headset that came with your phone for a business call, I certainly would not want you working for me.

I can sell my 5s for more than I paid for including the cost difference for buying it on contract....

You do know the iPhone 6 will be the #1 selling phone this quarter, the 5s will be #2 (due to timing) and 6s will be #3 because of the limited delay. In the holiday quarter the 6s will be the #1 selling phone, the 6 will be #2 and the 5s will be #3.

The email they sent out this morning is the same email they send out on the first day of pre-orders for every product launch. It has nothing at all to do with demand.

I don't agree with the Scully comment, but I do like your idea.

What a bizarre story with some pretty wild speculation. You are trying to compare what you assume is a 5 quarter average to what Google claims to have sold to schools in the last quarter. You them claim Apple is losing the education market to Google. You do realize nothing at all in the brief article or anything you linked to supports that claim. The one thing we know for sure is that Apple has sold 13 million devices to schools since 2012 and Google has sold at least 1 million.

Huh? You think the user unlocking their device with their pass code and then agreeing to trust a computer the device is physically connected to is the same as a backdoor?

I am not sure what you mean, it is clear you are the one who did not read or comprehend either the article or the post you responded to.
