It's funny to see all the comments dismissing the all article without even reading it. Oh wait, I forgot this is Slashdot after all.

My point is that without subsidies nuclear power would be prohibitively expensive. Construction of new nuclear power plants is significantly more expensive than other forms of electricity generation, and this is even without taking into account decommissioning and waste disposal costs. Add to that the astronomical costs incurred by cleanup every time there's an accident (for reference, the cost of the Fukushima nuclear disaster is estimated at $250 billion US dollars) and anyone would understand how nuclear isn't cheaper.

And all nuclear power companies. The only reason nuclear power is cheaper than renewable energy is because of huge government subsidies. Studies have shown that nuclear is still not viable without subsidies.

Tax avoidance is immoral but legal. Tax evasion is both immoral and illegal.

You need an Apple ID to install apps and sync data with your computer, but I'm pretty sure that buying an iPhone doesn't require creating an account on iTunes. Naturally, an iPhone without apps is kind of pointless but eh.

I wish I had mod points for +5 funny.

On the other hand, the guy is in his seventies and is one of the richest actors in the world; he probably doesn't need to pander to anyone anymore.

It depends really on what these business users work on. Widescreen monitors are great for people using spreadsheets, audio video editing software, people such as translators who need to display 2 -or more- Word documents side-by-side, etc.

Regarding Google Maps, I found that their quality depend entirely of who they're getting their mapping data from. In Japan, they're getting it from the biggest local mapping company there is, and as a result Google Maps are way ahead of OpenStreetMap/Apple Maps, and even other companies that use the same base data (Bing, Yahoo!, etc.).

I would still need to give them my credit card info. Also yeah, buying completely new devices and having to deal with a hair pulling interface only to be able to read comics sounds completely crazy.

It's a lot of work because ComiXology's website requires my credit card info, which I'm not giving to them (or Apple, for that matter) and that I pay for the exchange rate on top of that (I live abroad). With IAPs I don't need to give my credit card info to anyone and there's no exchange rate fees either.

For all current customers on iOS, here's the fix: 1: Install the new ComiXology app. 2: Leave a one star review in the App Store. 3: Launch the app, go to Purchases and hit Restore in the purchases tab to sync Apple purchases with the web 3: Log into comixology website to use the $5 voucher they gave you. 4: Download Marvel https://itunes.apple.com/en/ap..., Image https://itunes.apple.com/jp/ap... and DC https://itunes.apple.com/en/ap... apps. Check purchases have synced to those. 6: Delete both ComiXology apps and Use Image / Marvel / DC instead.

That's how the whole retailing and distribution business has been working for centuries. The device and IAPs are the only reason I started spending money on ComiXology and a number of other services.

The mobile site requires your credit card info, the App Store and IAPs don't. I've spent hundreds of dollars at ComiXology so far, and they won't see another dollar from me.
