>Do you believe rehabilitation is impossible or do you want revenge?

I don't believe that someone who commits mass murder can be rehabilitated, no. It isn't about revenge; it's about public safety.

Someone once pointed out that hoping a rapist gets raped in prison isn't a victory for his victim(s), because it somehow gives him what he had coming to him, but it's actually a victory for rape and violence. I wish I could remember who said that, because they are right. The score doesn't go Rapist: 1 World: 1. It goes Rape: 2.

What this man did is unspeakable, and he absolutely deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. If he needs to be kept away from other prisoners as a safety issue, there are ways to do that without keeping him in solitary confinement, which has been shown conclusively to be profoundly cruel and harmful.

Putting him in solitary confinement, as a punitive measure, is not a victory for the good people in the world. It's a victory for inhumane treatment of human beings. This ruling is, in my opinion, very good and very strong for human rights, *precisely* because it was brought by such a despicable and horrible person. It affirms that all of us have basic human rights, even the absolute worst of us on this planet.

This is precisely why I lost all interest in Oculus the instant I heard that it had been acquired by Facebook.

A Libertarian refusing to pay the price borne by the market and instead appealing to regulators, no less than the villainous UNITED NATIONS, for an intervention? How can he not see that this lays waste to his entire political philosophy?

Fixing Maps data isn't really as much of a software issue as it is an operational issue. You have to have people reviewing the maps data. That's what Google does, there's no such thing as a fully automated POI system for online maps.

I still don't think Android is open. Can you check code into their repo? Is there any peer review whatsoever prior to release? It is still a limited definition of open.

13.68 P/E... I wouldn't write them off just yet, the holiday season could do interesting things to the stock.

That makes ZERO sense. Stock price is effectively a wager on projected future earnings, it has little to do with unemployment. DJI is just an index. Corporate profits are way up, so stock prices are up, so indexes are up. Apple continues to break earnings records and has a relatively low P/E ratio, particularly measured against AMZN and GOOG. The stock MAY be overvalued (or not), but it certainly isn't as overvalued as its peers.

Forstall sounds like he was kind of a cancer and his excess skeumorphism ruptured an otherwise seamless aesthetic that is a big part of why a lot of people but Apple products. Browett had a bad record and was never a good fit for Apple IMO and his idiocy with trying to draw down clerk hours to save a few bucks demonstrates a cultural disjoint between him and Apple's obsession with customer experience. If your customers don't feel special they will not pay premium margins. A discount retail approach would convert their hugely powerful retail outlets into cost centers.

The Maps issues aren't related to anything but the quality of data as far as I'm aware. I have no idea if that's his fault, or if it was his fault to put Maps on prematurely, but strategically I think Apple had to divest Google from their platform there at some point.

You DO know Obama's cutting military and Romey's plan is for more spending than the Pentagon has requested?

Did you read the linked article? The comparison shot is actually better on the iPhone 5.
