Comment Re:So Proud of Gun Ownership (Score 3, Insightful) 1232

LOL this comment needs framing as it symbolically shows societies degradation in so many ways.

It shows the conditioned and damaged mental state of our society as a whole. No matter how smart one is, through correct social conditioning one can become as dumb as a doorknob to preserve a set of programmed ideals.

The very core of the word "regulation" is "regulate" like "government" is "govern".

Regulate Verb
Control or maintain the rate or speed of (a machine or process) so that it operates properly.
Control or supervise (something, esp. a company or business activity) by means of rules and regulations.

Govern Verb
To make and administer the public policy and affairs of; exercise sovereign authority in.
To control the speed or magnitude of; regulate: a valve that governs fuel intake.
To control the actions or behavior of: Govern yourselves like civilized people.

I might add common sense is becoming less common these days. Now, that lack of "common" within sense is being used to pervert the constitution so individual ideals can be preserved. I may be considered a fool for stating this but sometimes people really need to get "back to basics" before perceiving the world around them, absorb it and try to see past these forms of social conditioning.

The word "trained" is not used in the above definitions. Yet "operates properly" means that a logical process needs to be ensured some how. "Training" to enable proper operation seems logical (and simple), how else do you expect to achieve "operates properly" to ensure "regulation" is instilled? hocus pocus? more social conditioning? how about more/less video games? let's hear the bullshit I can't wait.

All of what you say is utter shit. Scratching eyes, spitting? really? two police officers really worried about that? They are cops fuck-knuckle they signed up for this! don't like it become a freaking florist. Seriously harden the hell up.

Pretty sure that's what IA is there for?

Straight off the bat you watch too much TV. IA I'd imagine is your typical misconduct investigation group yeah? They'll give this whole issue 2 mins of their time and then lawyers battle it out, this really is not an IA "thing" if you get my drift. AI is more concerned with dirty cops helping the import of dope, you know proper corruption. IA will look at this as see two low-level idiodic cops and they'll feed them to the sharks.

at maximum, less amperage than what an active smartphoneAustralia draws being used against someone.

They kill people too. Just killed a guy last month, healthy young man, ran from police ended up dead from the taser.

What on earth makes you think that they didn't try to remove her from the store by other means before tasing her?

90 POUND WOMAN! 2 POLICE OFFICERS TRAINED TO ARREST PEOPLE! You people should just pack your shit up in the middle east, obviously when China decides to launch an all out war all they'll need is little tiny Chinese woman with iPhones take you on.

You know all you create with your babbling is more reasons to inflict these "nanny state" measures on society.

What a kind of dipshit are you? what are you a cop? If she had a baseball bat and was smashing the shop up then okay zap her and lock her up.

What on earth makes you think that they didn't try to remove her from the store by other means before tasing her?

Common sense, if two trained officers of the law cannot remove a disorderly person without resorting to electrocution then they need to find another profession. Simply restraining her and _if_ and only _if_ then pin her down (easily remember 90 pound woman not the hulk). Unless she was strong enough two overpower the two officers then slamming her down and issuing a dose electrocution is woefully excessive.

Picking her up with one arm and putting her in the back of a police car can be considered as assault as well.

So is shooting her in the head with a 9mm but I hope you're intelligent enough to see the various shades of grey on your own statement.

Police should be held account by the same laws as citizens in times of apprehending people and that is reasonable applied force only. This is clearly not reasonable, not by a long shot. As excessive force is punishable by laws of assault these officers should bare such charges.

Still doesn't justify two grown police officers assaulting a 90 pound Asian woman. Look at it a million different ways still comes back to that for me, she could be trying to physically steal those iPhones and provided she is unarmed she's a 90 pound Asian woman, you pick her up with one arm and put her in the back of a police car.

Apple needs to cut the arrogance crap! If Apple wants to stay in the BYOD game they should be seeking means to accommodate services as such by being as plugin friendly as possible. Blackberry, Nokia and anything Android would not put down such limitations.

This also means companies (not BYOD) seeking devices which plugin to their already pre existing services only serves to strike Apple off the buying list.

What's next? expecting people to drop Exchange for MobileMe? not likely. Not to say I use either Office 365 or Exchange, Zimbra for me all the way. What move has done is affect legacy and hurt Apple. A card that needed to be played much later in the collapse of MS as doing it now only serves to promote it and help Windows 8, stupid.

I'm actually saying the opposite but if you read in to my post a little further the key things are -

a) Apple has the money and means to solve the issue (or go back to Google)
b) They created the issue by creating product reliance and then offering a defective "upgrade"

Apple shouldn't be trusted as nor should TomTom for that matter but the above two key points are noteworthy and deserve a good Apple bashing IMHO, unlike the GPO's sentiment.

Forgive me if I'm also wrong about this but as the case usually goes I highly doubt Apple would have any intention of being apologetic about it, protected by a set of closed T&C's, move on in it's merry life leaving fumes of asshole wherever it may go. Further, I'd also fully expect nothing more from Apple fanbois but for them to simply jump on the ass-fume-filled train along with them siding with Apple's smelly ass ethics and think nothing but glory for Apple's assholelicious nature.

As much as I enjoy a good old apple bashing, anyone who trust their gps without checking the plausibility of the route is an utter fool.

So you're saying that people shouldn't trust a multibillion dollar company vs a company say tomtom whose worth a 1/500th (if not less)? meanwhile a company like Google which is supposedly valued at half the value of Apple can be trusted?

Considering that the very product in question used to be accurate and reliable only pushes the argument from "pretty shit" to "fucking terrible".

Yes, Apple had a flogging in the news about the map quality. Sufficed to say it shouldn't show you anything rather than wrong information. Therefore moving from "fucking terrible" to "pretty fucking dodgy shit".

You have to excuse the recursive nature of the term "shit" however I needed to specify the word "dodgy" to fully experience the gravity of the "crapulation" to which I'm trying to emphasize.

On the other hand, if the data is not relevant or currently accurate, then Google should have no problem purging cached results. So for example, a libelous comment or news article was made available online and then was retracted or removed by request and yet still appears in Google's searches, then Google should be obliged to remove it by request as it no longer reflects what is available.

Yes but only by the publisher and Google has put systems in place to ensure happens (see webmaster tools). What you're insinuating is that anyone can do anything they like provided they pay a lawyer to draft up a letter to do so.

Google is not a resource, it's a tool, the websites containing the information are the resources. So lets consider Google's role for just one second in the use of key phrases.

Search "Milorad Trkulja" or "Milorad Trkulja mob ties" or "Milorad Trkulja" just within Google news.

What Google is designed to do that is display content based on its relevancy and that relevancy is driven by the user. Now, if you had said, Google is promoting sites based on PageRank, Reverse links, etc and someone had misused these SEO concepts and have pushed the defamatory comments to the top and then yes Google did nothing to fix it you may somewhat of a point. Google could get fined for that as they should put measures in to stop it from happening in the future but now what that means is we are regulating the concept of what a Search Engine is, yet another can of worms.

Consider this Google only shows the title of the page and 2 or 3 lines of content from the sites that it indexes it does store the whole page in its cache but the public mostly see the paragraph of text pertaining to the rest of the information. What this does is it makes it one step closer for people to be sued because of a tag which no, under any law is wrong.

Comment Re:APPLE STILL MAKES 90% OF SMARTPHONE CASH !! (Score 1) 601

Their little cat fight with Samsung put a dent in those margins and the more enemies Apple make the less those margins will be. The figures according to Bloomberg are .... (Apple vs Samsung here).

AAPL
23% Q4 (2011)
28% Q1 (2012)
29% Q2 (2012)
22% Q3 (2012)

005930:KS (Samsung)
7% Q4 (2011)
8% Q1 (2012)
10% Q2 (2012)
12% Q3 (2012)

Now, I was told this could be an annual thing, I.E due to the product launch and margins suffer due to the costs of the launch, though I feel that's not correct because the product's price is always higher during the initial launch and then reduce as product ages in the market.

With some of the productivity issues faced and the margins on components getting slammed (i.e Samsung's recent price hike on apple components) these figures could be a continued trend.

What I like about the trend for Samsung is that it's showing solid steady growth (half of what Apple is doing but it's steady). Apple's just seem overly chaotic which for analysts would worry them a little.
