And you are really good at dodging my point. This entire time you have refused to respond to the actual point of my comment.
EVEN if the price was 1000 dollars, the fact of the matter is it has a larger battery then the other devices of similar type. To some that would justify the price.

Now unless you have something to say DIRECTLY to that point. I bid you good day.

LOL one liners, I LOVE oneliners.
But still, why are you ignoring my point? You are still missing it. Actually you know what, I looked up your account history. If MS shills exists on this site, Apple ones do too, cause that's all you comment about. I do not discuss things with shills/fanbois. Not only does it drive my blood pressure up, but I have always hated having battles of wit with an unarmed people.

I thought the POP was $149. According to the graphics on their kickstarter page, it does look like it is $149. So the Pop gives you 167mAh per dollar and the link I posted gives you 160 mAh. So you were wrong. Good for you. Read the article.

Even if it was 200 dollars, I still did not see any battery out there with an equivalent size. So the extra cost could be justified that way.

You seem to fail to realize my point, and that was that you cannot get a device with similar capabilities for 20 dollars.

Actually I think you are still wrong, the device they were promising to build had a 25,000 mAh battery. It could charge your phone ten times on one charge. You CANNOT find one that large for that price on Amazon.

But by no means should you read the article or actually look anything up before you insist that your two cents is right in multiple posts.

I went and checked, the closest thing I could find only had a 16,000 mAh battery, and it was $100.

The TI-89 is very different then the rest of the 8x series.

The 89 and its various versions have much more in common with the 9x series (I believe that was just the 92 and 92+)

I had an 83+ and later an 89. I remember I liked a few things about the 83 that the 89 was lacking in. The catalog was one of them, but for the life of me I cannot remember why.

From your daily mail article:

Two of the principal costs of the the Obama presidency - and any other presidency - are staffing and security, according to Robert Keith Gray's book Presidential Perks Gone Royal.

When it comes to keeping the First Family safe, few would dispute that it is worth paying a high price to keep the President safe from harm.

This means paying for hundreds of Secret Service agents, travel in the secure space of Air Force and funding a team of doctors to follow Mr Obama around.

But even this essential expense can be exploited to political ends, according to Mr Gray, a former staffer for Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.

Lets look at part of that again:

But even this essential expense can be exploited to political ends

That IS what you are doing is it not?

Stupid asshole. Some things are better when they are socialist, because we all reap benefits from them. Everyone in this country has reaped benefits from this list in one way or another. That does not mean we need to scrap capitalism. It does mean that we shouldn't dismiss "socialist" ideas out of hand.
