"Until the American public stands up and demands"

I see this partial slogan bandied about all the time, that we only have ourselves to blame. How the fuck exactly do we stand up and demand? Most of us do already .. voting doesn't fix things. Peaceful protest doesn't fix things. Hell, the only real power we do have is w/ $, and that doesn't fix things. Snowden has done what few of us are capable of, mainly because we're peons, and it's still not fixing things.

"Until the American public stands up and demands" means the only real way things will happen will be through violence.

...is informing my loving big brother about my interests and location. As long as he knows I'm at home streaming X-Men, he doesn't have to worry about me organizing with others to effect social change using untracked communications methods. Privacy is bad for the environment. Go future go!

Isn't quality central to Apple's value proposition?

No, and it hasn't been since the birth of the Performa line.

Performa!!!??? You really don't think they've recovered their brand since Performa ended?

Is your problem with reading comprehension, or with basic logic? That is nothing like what I said.

Does phrasing an insult as a question while demonstrating your own problems with reading comprehension and logic amuse you, or me?

Comment "The Beats brand will remain intact"... (Score 1) 188

"The Beats brand will remain intact," says the headline. But will the Apple brand remain intact? This is one of the most confidence-shaking moves we've seen since Jobs died. Isn't quality central to Apple's value proposition? Doesn't Beats have a poor quality reputation? Doesn't everybody know that Dre prefers Koss Portapros?
