Question yourself - why do relative many people take effort to learn Dvorak, and a large amount of them state they don't want to go back? Is that because it's an inferior layout? Are all those people fooling themselves? Or could it be that 'qwerty is good enough too', and that a learning curve to another layout is long, and in the beginning, pretty steep?
Fallacious argument. This is like saying "Look at all the people converting to Uam and not changing to another religion afterward".
Why would the success of this have anything to do with the receiver getting a cut? Why would the sender care whether you got part of the money or not?
How does Facebook deserve this money?
Because they say so?
I don't idolize him, but it's still plain wrong to say he was a conservative when he was a major player of the progressive movement.
The GP must have read some alternate version of history when Teddy was an outspoken progressive.
Teddy Roosevelt was a conservative? You're joking, right? Did you hear that from Rush Limbaugh or Fox News? You do know that the Bull Moose Party that he founded was a progressive party, right? Teddy Roosevelt is well known as being a leader in the progressive movement of the early 20th century. To call him a conservative is an absolute joke.
Yes, I read that. So what? I only chose to respond to the incorrect part.
Oh, right, Apple released a 13" model. I forgot about that. Too bad to spec that 13" model up so that it's comparable to a $1000 Windows Ultrabook, you'll be paying $2500.
Bullshit. The 13.3" Asus ZenBook UX31A-DH51 is $1050 on Newegg and has half the RAM, a slower i5 processor as the 13" MacBook Pro.
On consumer, desktop equipment, yes.
The average consumer desktop comes with a 1080p display with a DPI usually in the sub 125 PPI range (17" or higher).
Asus has recently released some nice products with high DPI displays. The ASUS Zenbook Prime is 1920 x 1080 with a 13.3" screen, which is close, if not better, than the Mac books.
That's only 165 PPI. The 13" Pro is 227 PPI and the 15" is 220 PPI. Unless you use a different version of math than the rest of the world, 165 PPI is not better than either of the other numbers.
Yes, a significant amount. Farmville works by spamming your friends to join and send you stuff.
Google: Go fuck yourself. You want to drag this out to a lawsuit? We'll see who has deeper pockets and greater political clout. USER FREEDOM, ARRR!
I'm pretty sure Disney, Sony, Viacom, News Corp, Comcast and Time Warner (the parent companies of the MPAA studios) combined beat Google in each of those categories by quite a lot.
The point was that the whiners are an irrelevant, minuscule minority whilst the vast majority of supporters don't care.
Not so sure about that:
