Don't tell me about 1 and 3.. It's the people drilling holes in their phones that I'm talking about. I go android and I'm always happy with it.

Return shipping is a pain in the ass, for the time it takes you will be without a phone. Also, it is worthless unless the carrier allows you out of the contract, which they won't. You will be forced to choose another phone from their selection.

That's not global. The carriers where I am won't do it.

The first article talks about formaldehyde, not cancer...
Second article says there isn't much evidence... which is why I was asking in the first place
Third article says some stuff about possible heart and respiratory issues, nothing about cancer

Do you f'n read?? You just wasted my time, thanks. Even worse, you are spreading misinformation.

Have you seen evidence that they cause cancer? I recently read the opposite; that they may be coming around to accepting them as a stop smoking method. I don't use them, just interested.

That's why government regulations are important, whether it be applied to corps or individuals.

It would be courageous of Apple to allow people to return phones for a full refund if they didn't know it lacked this basic feature.

So the big question is, if you consider the price to Manufacture a car versus the factory price for a dealership, is Tesla marking up their cars more or less?

The weakness of the whole Libertarian ideal is that it turns out there are a lot of legal ways for one person to totally screw over another.

Well this dispels any myth that the industry is trying to fight online piracy in a meaningful way.

Yes, much better for the shitheels to be heads of corporations with golden parachutes.

The way I see it, with no middlemen, those car salesmen are out of work. It's not really the best example, but take Uber's mission to put taxi drivers out of work. All the money they would otherwise collect is going straight to the corporation and the corp will enjoy the extra profits rather than lower prices, which they promptly funnel to the people with the most shares or some offshore account or whatever. How is this a good thing for the common person?

Yeah, this is the same old line.. I don't see a use for someone so they shouldn't be allowed to do what they do. It's the same with Uber and taxi regulation.

It only says that it could work if Tesla didn't plan on cutting out other dealers, but they do. Perhaps Tesla should be learning from Apple. At any rate, I was responding to the proposition that middlemen raise prices. Apple is proof that omitting the middleman does nothing to lower prices.

Suing someone isn't part of the process to change legislation.
