A friend of mine in HK just bought a Samsung, one of those ones that are bigger than any asian's tiny hands, I asked her why she didn't buy the iPhone. Too expensive she said.

But yet, where I live, in Hong Kong, iphone accessories are on display at what seems a 21:1 ratio. Hell I live off temple street and there are small shops that try to look like mini Apple stores.

.. in America.

I think you're an exception in this case. Mac Pro for you ;-).

Dude, you just have to accept that this isn't going to happen. Just buy a Mac and get on with life. People have had this issue since licensing an OS was worth doing.

I consider myself a geek, but I want to edit and contribute when the tools are at least as easy as a wordpress blog. I tried to amend something once and it was a waste of my time. It's not intuitive at all.

You're coming from a point of view that doesn't suggest the airlines are subsidised as well.

My university lecturer is still rocking a Titanium Powerbook. It's at most 12 years old.

'you're' btw motherfucker.

Now my mind wanders to flying fish.

What about hummingbirds, they are different somewhat right since they fly backwards and shit.

If Grammar mattered, MS Word wouldn't default to US English on UK installs! The Queen is most displeased!

All those things were public services which would have increased the state (which is popular for conservatives to not do anyway), granted he got rid of them, but wasn't that because the state of the government's budget was the priority and they were not popular anyway (plus this was at the beginning of their government)? But this is different as it involves the Americans and that's probably enough since this government has always towed the line with regard to US interests.

Also our justice system didn't have a problem with O'Dwyer. I'm confused.

Yeah well done Britain. God my country sucks.

You know I went to Germany last year (I wasn't in the capital either, I was in Bremen, a small city in the North), I saw people wearing those Guy Fawkes masks meeting up in public peacefully protesting. They actually care. I've never seen it here, we simply worship consumerism.

Even Bulgaria got in on the action, we are at the bottom of the scale for engaging in political issues as important as this.

Nobody in our government gives a shit. They are a bunch of cunts.

You're breaking this down by country where I'm looking at it on a global scale.
