So is Apple now committing a human rights violation by forcing me to touch .... or is the Iphone 6 really that 6xy?

Social media has made all those sins easier to do. In the past there'd just be neighbors gossiping about neighbors. Now it's the whole world and in a more permanent way

No, I call it the foolishness of the crowd. Somebody's annoyance adds to somebody else's annoyance in feedback loop that soon turns to rage. This is no different from otherwise well-behaved individuals rioting when the opportunity presents itself.

Losing a volunteer position is the least of the man's problems.

Nobody is 100% innocent, not even the pope.

Precisely, they should also ask Google to ban the app's ability to show the location of schools (which could theoretically put children at risk from tech-savvy "pedophiles") and hospitals and gasoline stations (which terrorists could blow up). Really any serious criminal is probably going to have trained spotters who'll report the presence of any law enforcer. Maybe we should also ban cellphones?

As another poster said, get a Nexus. The only beef I have against the Nexus is the lack of SD card support. In the past I could have gone for a Google Play Edition (GPE) device, which received fairly prompt Android updates, but Google appears to be phasing out the GPE program. Schade.

True. True. As for sentence #3, I'm not too sure. If you assume the reliability of the posted data, there's a column showing trading volume. The ranking for trading volume is:

1. Bitcoin / $ 38,610,400

2. Litecoin / $ 4,211,520

3. Ripple / $ 3,805,730

4. Stellar (a ripple fork) / $ 2,431,440

5. Dogecoin / $ 591,834

Bitcoin is massively ahead but it's been on a downward trend. Litecoin is still ahead of Ripple in terms of daily traded volume, but like Bitcoin, Litecoin is also going down. On the other hand, the value of Ripple has been increasing, often in the two digit range for the past few weeks, along with the Ripple fork, Stellar, which this morning shot up an incredible 118%!
