Own a 360 MS but it's the last dollars they'll get from me. Proving once again you're so big, you must fail. Yes I hate MS and Apple and anyone else who tries to drive my consumer dollars where I will not let them go. Call it capitalism. Besides outside world is nice and I don't need a 'Gold' membership to enjoy all it's features. YMMV

I have been a motorcycle rider in the US for over 35 years. I have been cut off, riding right beside cars, I have been cut off by cars and trucks merging. I have been cut off by cars and trucks exiting the road. I have been hit in parking lots!!! There definitely has been increase in the lack of attention 4 wheel drivers put into operating their vehicles. Facts before my very eyes, daily tell me this is BS. Hang up and drive @ssclowns.
Education

Does US Owe the World an Education At Its Expense? 689

An anonymous reader writes "'Right now, there are brilliant students from all over the world sitting in classrooms at our top universities,' President Obama explained to the nation Tuesday in his pitch for immigration reform. 'They are earning degrees in the fields of the future, like engineering and computer science...We are giving them the skills to figure that out, but then we are going to turn around and tell them to start the business and create those jobs in China, or India, or Mexico, or someplace else. That is not how you grow new industries in America. That is how you give new industries to our competitors. That is why we need comprehensive immigration reform." If the President truly fears that international students will use skills learned at U.S. colleges and universities to the detriment of the United States if they return home (isn't a rising tide supposed to lift all boats?) — an argument NYC Mayor Bloomberg advanced in 2011 ('we are investing millions of dollars [actually billions] to educate these students at our leading universities, and then giving the economic dividends back to our competitors – for free') — then wouldn't another option be not providing them with the skills in the first place?"
