Younger looking females are in more advantageous position in the mating process. On the other hand, older males are seen as more stable and more likely to have the means to support.

I have a friend who is psyched about the new iPhone and his plan to replace his previous generation iPhone, he finds it strange that I still find the phone I got about a year ago useable and have no plans for upgrade. Asked him why does he want the iPhone? His answer: because it's faster and newer is more advanced. Only that. No specifics and not a case of any application he uses currently being slow or any feature he needs. I don't understand it.

Maybe hard to believe for you, but Linux is good OS and many prefer it over OSX. Not sure why OSX on the laptop makes the $3000 purchase a normal one.

Sadly, results shaping is an old problem in social fields : survey questions, selecting the sample, the size and the diversity of the sample, the preset study direction and ignoring factors not in line with that direction.

vs 406 vote for [I'll explain my system below]... I'm guessing a lot got lazy, or maybe they just added it as note in their system...

I used iPad 2 first, set it up for a friend who bought it and installed all software they wanted. You know what I think? It's quite overrated, I thought it's heaps ahead of other tablets in market in a way that justifies Apple lock-in, but it's not. I got Galaxy Tab 10.1 a month or so after and quite happy with it. Thank you very much.

Didn't...

Maybe it's just that those who choose to use Bing as search engine are more likely to click links? or they are easier to please with the returned results set? Correlation does not imply causation. It will be difficult to make conclusions without having one study group using both.

Really? I thought it's just Apple being the new patent system abuser. What you have typed would have been more believable if it weren't for the "few" other lawsuits Apple is waging against other Android products/manufacturers. Apple is scared that what happened with smart phone market will happen in tablet market, and will go after every Android tablet maker that show a potential to build a good tablet line.

Patent System the current system will just encourage companies to develop off shore, especially small ones and startups, that if it does not stop them in their tracks before even stepping in market. How can many companies hold thousands of miniature patents like that? thousands of patents sound absurd. I wonder if this level of "innovation" exist in any other sector....

But of course, none should panic because the usual Apple astroturfing/deflection suggests so...

Google is building and expanding its own online infrastructure (see weave for example).

It's also undeniable that IE has a big market share, and Google needs to account for it. So this seems to be the only reasonable route they can take as this issue doesn't seem to be of much interest to MS at the moment.

MS was actually pretty fast in addressing this urgent security matter!
If only they were this prompt in addressing the security and standard complaints they have...

Google are taking the matter into their own hands and actually putting resources towards improving IE, because they know that MS will not do it in any reasonable way.

Take the house and put him in jail... Actually, Waterboard him too.
