What kind of food are you eating for $5000 / day?

8,175,133 is not NYC's metropolitan population. That's the city limits population. Similarly for the given London number.

4 New York United States 19,750,000
18 London United Kingdom 12,875,000

Vaporizing? If we wanted to vaporize brown people, it wouldn't have cost nearly as much money.

If your determining factor on a new phone is megapixels on the camera, a smart phone is probably not the market you're in.

I've not known anyone with an iPhone 4 (and I know quite a few) that have even noticed that issue.

I would. My 3G is tired as hell. I'd put the money down right now to be among the first in line.

Also, the fact that styrofoam melts at about 240C http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polystyrene#Extruded_polystyrene_foam

Unfortunately, this only applies to slowing the breeding of the intelligent, industrious members of society. Perhaps we can grow the size of the population of those members of society, but by encouraging them not to breed it seems unlikely.

Meanwhile, those less industrious, less intelligent members of society continue to pump out babies till the cows come home...

...even when I'm not using the application. No thanks. I'm not paranoid, but I see no reason for this application to have access to my information when I'm not logged in.

IIRC you can just tell your carrier to not allow third-party fees, which solves the problem.

I think the chart explains well enough why the "linear rising budget" is not a good indicator of anything.

Ignoring the fact that there are no facts, your math is wrong.

We should just give it to the poor instead. They'd never spend money on hookers, cocaine, or Chinese junk from Walmart.
