Neil deGrasse Tyson likely is a role model for African-Americans in areas of science.

Just come live in AZ. We don't have to renew our licenses until we are 65. Keep your picture for 40+ years.

Private schools tend to pay quite poorly in comparison to public schools. That's because most of the private schools are church-based. They charge students a tuition, but they don't make back enough in tuition to cover costs 100%. Couple that with the church not being able to kick in a ton extra, and the pay is about 50-80% of the public school rate.

He's perfectly consistent. He copied/pasted the same exact text twice.

You keep saying this. The fact that your application is not available in the Amazon appstore is not Amazon's fault, or Google's. It's your bank. Your bank has no obligation to create an app at all. What if you bank only made an iOS banking app and not one for android at all? Is that Google's fault? Tell your bank you want their app in the Amazon store, or you will change banks.

Wow...way to miss his point. He's saying Amazon would love to provide the Amazon App Store to Acer if they lost the play store. Amazon would get the revenue directly.

I know, all those Amazon Kindle Fire's that have been flying off the shelves for the last 10 months are a sure sign of a lack of commercial success...

How about Acer go the Amazon way and talk to Amazon about shipping the Amazon Appstore on their Acer devices? If Acer doesn't like any of those options, then they have an easy solution....make their own OS. Of course, they will run into the same problem with regards to app stores, etc. Where does it say Google is required to let everyone and anyone have access to the Play store? Why is Google "EVIL" for not allowing it?

Yeah, that Amazon app store is under real threat....

And your point is.... CM doesn't come with google apps. Nor do Amazon devices. Nor does anything running MIUI If you want the app store, you play by google's rules. You want to go your own way, feel free. There are other Android app stores that Acer could ship with.

Well, the brits do all sorts of weird things. They measure weight in stone, talk about distance in miles, but they talk about height in meters.

To quote Mr. Indiana Jones:

Archaeology is the search for fact... not truth. If it's truth you're looking for, Dr. Tyree's philosophy class is right down the hall.

No. Apple claims that the Galaxy Nexus violated the patent on Unified Search. They don't claim any design patent infringement by Samsung with the Gnex.

Alternative theories is fine. Creationism is not a valid scientific theory. You cannot use the scientific method to disprove creationism. If you want to teach a theory that can be disproved by the scientific method, go ahead and teach it. But it needs to be a proper theory as well, as-in the scientific community takes it as a theory. Not some "idea" that a couple of guys have as a "theory". There is a big difference between a "theory" and a theory

I've been using tons of micro-usb connections for years. I've been plugging and unplugging every day, multiple times, across multiple devices. I'd wager I have something on the order of 10000 unplug/plugs across my devices. I have never broken or bent a single micro-usb connector. I know my anecdote is not very good, but if there really was an "annoying tendency to break", I'm sure I would've had it happen and/or heard about it previously. Besides, the inside piece is metal....not plastic as i'm looking at my devices.
