Because that means regressing back to 7-10 inch screens.

Desktops may be on the decline for home users, but what about the millions of business computers?

Tablets are good for browsing the internet, some email, and the occasional video. Do they really expect people to type all day on one though?

Do you ever vote then?
Not so much for primaries, but for the actual election I get robocalls from both sides at least twice a week. Is this not normal?

This is already available in Mercs and most high end cars. You can buy one today that can "control the phone, audio and navigation by saying city names and your phonebook contacts normally" Does this add anything beyond apps? Does anyone care about anything beyond making calls, adjusting the nav, and the stereo?

Bad is also quite subjective. As the same mechanics their definition, and you'll get different answers again.

As an example, as reliable, well built and featured as some cars are, I would consider them bad if they weren't spirited and fun to drive.

It would be installing an operating system written by DoubleClick exactly. Look up who their parent company is.

Some do have a synchro. And if it did, you'd probably blow the something in the transmission, with it moving way faster than it was ever supposed to.

I once shattered a clutch doing something similar.

This is overrating to call this SOPA-style. They were temporarily closed because it was being used to phish information from customers of several different banks.
This is more analogous to the police closing a business after a robbery to preserve evidence. They'll be back up soon enough, and are actually still operating under an alternate domain.

Maybe things have changed for the worse since I last dealt with them (about 3-4 years ago).

My rationale is the cost of better service has to come from somewhere, and you know they're not going to lower their margins for it. So either prices go up across the board, or you pay for it. I'd be willing to pay, but Joe Everyman, probably not so much.

HP has fantastic Customer Service
...if you buy a support plan.

If this is essentially bundling a service plan into the purchase cost, I'd buy one.

Yes the mother may be in the wrong here. There really isn't enough detail to make a real judgment. However, the point that concerns me is how the doctors were not willing to discuss it. Is it because she only said "I don't want vaccines" without a reason, or is there more to it?

Generally I would agree, but it depends on where is the line drawn? I have never gotten a flu shot. Is that enough to turn me away?

The other concerning part is only in TFA though about a child who had a preexisting condition that was exacerbated by vaccines, and was still refused by several doctors without even discussing the issue.

Personally, my issue with this is that Jobs didn't really do anything but fund it.

If you must, find the team of engineers that got the store working, and give them some credit.

Also, from the email, it seems not to be "We won't support your Playbook because we're mean" but "We cant support it because of licensing issues."

Which makes the blog author look even more like a "I spend money at your store, how dare you not support X" over-reactionary.

That's also the reason that Verizon can afford to have outrageous business practices. A lot of us have the "choice" of Verizon, or no service at home.

They know they are going to be undercut by other carriers in populous areas, so they overcharge the customers that they cannot lose.
