Let's not fuck around here, the tablet market is the iPad market. And Apple is a victim of its own success; the iPad is a device that people use without replacing for a lot longer than anyone predicted, certainly nothing like the 18-month phone cycle. I'm still using a "The New iPad" (3rd-gen) purchased in early 2012 and it's still awesome. I've purchased 2 new phones and 2 new desktop computers in that time, but the almost 3-year-old iPad just keeps on keeping on.

newsflash: nobody gives a shit.

Perp was religious? Fucking crazies.

And it means that the tribe has a group of individuals who can contribute all the positive things about being male (strength, endurance, agility etc for hunting and group defence) without the number-one negative thing about being male: fighting with other males over females.

Shortsightedness is certainly an aid to finding a mate :)

Seriously though, the presence of male homosexuals in a tribe gives that tribe an advantage over all its hetero-only neighbors. They're males who aren't competition for breeding partners. Competition for breeding partners is the #1 source of self-destructive crazy in any tribal group, hell just look at Islam.

Modern homo sapiens is a species that contains homosexuals, which means that having homosexuals among your number is a survival trait. All the human societies that didn't have homosexuals, or that did but cast them out, well they're not around any more. They got outcompeted by the humans that did have homosexuals.

No injuries, marks, or other affects, permanent or otherwise.

People were TORTURED TO DEATH. That permanent enough for you?

Your time in the sun has passed; you turned your back on your hard-won Enlightenment birthright and you have squandered your wealth.

We are all the poorer for the loss of what the United States could have been.

Your Empire has lasted far shorter than most; the collapse is coming, and it is well-deserved.

Fuck off and die.

LOL I love how the article is predicated on the assumption that evolution actually exists.

"There is nothing new under the sun" (Ecclesiastes 1:9). AIDS was created 6000 years ago, just like the Earth and everything else.

shut up and take my money!

Where do you think Tor came from? It was a government project designed to protect intelligence communications. The Feds know Tor inside and out because it was paid for by the federal government.

Not to mention the article IS FROM THE YEAR 2010.

Fuck you very much Slashdot, any excuse to get another article up with Apple in the headline for the SEO huh? Quotas to meet and all.

The scariest thing about the article is that he seems to believe in a god.

What a load of PC "humans are the only baddies in the world" bollocks.

Chimpanzees have a well documented history of intra-group hierarchical violence, violence against females and extra-group murdering raids. This is nothing new. Anthropologists have known this stuff for decades.

Think I'll be downloading my Doctor Who fix from now on.
