Well, if our useless lawmakers in Washington can't make big pharma offer competitive pricing maybe China can.

The reason you want a full sized USB jack demonstrats where the jump drive market is behind the times. I'd like to see guys like Kingston start putting micro-USB connectors on jump drives.

Stan is the best there is at what he does, and what he does is stand on the sholders of giants.

Let me know when it writes "radiant" and I'll be impressed

If you really care about your bunnies invest in the best.

I also hope ethic medical testing is conducted. That said, most of us know (or have known) someone with a terminal illness. If that person were given a chance to alter a certain outcome by using cutting edge medicine most would jump on it.

While I understand your concerns, every medical breakthrough has involved risk.

The polio vaccine could have backfired, but it didn't. You and I have grown up without the fear of a disease that plagued every generation up to our parents.

Politicians don't have better things to worry about?

Those excuses only hold up (very tenuously) when there's one officer. When multiple officers have the same malfunction it starts to look like conspiracy. That's enough to get a case thrown out of court.

There's a big difference between defending a practice a speculating how AT&T might be doing it's calculations. AvitarX does not seem to be justifing AT&T's ethics.

It used a magnesium case. When you were done with it you just burn it.

So you're saying the iPhone has NFC file transfer? Where's your SD card slot? How about a standard micro USB connector instead of the Apple proprietary plugs? Apple's much vaunted "retina display" is 1,136 x 640 and lower resolution than the Galaxy S3's 1,280 x 720 resolution. iPhone requires you to install iTunes to access your phone from your PC (and screw you, Linux users). Samsung, like all android phones, just plugs in and acts as a USB drive. Or you can wireless tether to your PC with an Android. The iPhone 5's camera is 8mp and has ugly purple flair problems, G S3 is also 8mp and features image stabilization. G S3 has longer battery life than the iPhone 5. Where the iPhone's stylus pen? How about showing me some sweet widgets or desktop mods on you iPhone? Let's see you install 3rd party apps without rooting your phone.

You think this is just about screen size? You're not paying attention.

I disagree about the size. I own the Galaxy S2 Touch and look forward to upgrading. In terms of size my phone is roughly comparable to the S3. I've never been uncomforartable with the phone in my pocket. Now the Note on the other hand is pretty friggin huge, but it sells so people must like it.

I agree with you regarding the iPhone being pretty crappy, especially the 5. I hate typing on the tiny screen on one of my kid's iTouch screens. The iPhone 5's slightly larger screen is still small compared to most smart phones.

The Iphone 5 is just more of the same-old from Apple. Slightly better specs under the hood, but not a lot for the average user to get excited about. Where's the innovation?

Apple is becoming a follower instead of a leader.

You've made a common mistake. There was only one Police Box, it just somehow managed to appear in numerous places at the same time.
