When did we overthrow the king of Afghanistan?
It is only journalism when you report both sides,anything less is biased or propaganda. Wikileaks is not posting both sides, but only information collected by the US. Where are the reports on what the Taliban do to innocents in the name of their unholy war?
I want to know why the tax man isn't coming down on them incredibly hard, Those "fees" are not taxed, hence uncle sam is missing out on billions in tax revenue.
As he pointed out, You don't HAVE to work there. If you don't like the policies of Company A, try to get on at Company B, Don't like those options? Give entrepreneurship a shot. My bet is YOU won't succeed because you figure everyone else is a tool. Me, call me a tool, but I will keep cashing those corporate paychecks as long as they come in.
Kudos to Peach... I agree. When my wife first met me, she wanted to see my tattoo. Her thought process said, "he is a Marine, he has a tattoo" I have several scars, but still no tattoos. I don't have to explain them to my kids that way.
Tada...the obvious answer...
1.2B is way too much for what they could have gotten at a fire sale in bankruptcy court. I am not happy as an HP shareholder. That said, mobile devices are overpriced, so maybe that is the idea, an open device for a real life price without carrier lock in.
Personally,
I think the key here is what the "artist" thinks his "art" is worth, and what the consuming public thinks it is worth are two totally different things. Make a DVD of a decent movie and sell it to me at twice the cost of a rental, and I am more than happy to buy it, Sell garbage that is entertaining only once, if at all, and I will stick to Redbox. The same goes for music. There is a reason Apple is making money at the price of iTunes, They have the right price point. In the end, the "artist" will get sick of being screwed by the media giant who only pimp them out at their convenience, and realize that self promotion is the only realistic promotion.
If all else fails, lower your standards.
