Simple. They don't have Republicans. They actually give a **** about each other and come together to help each other. In the US- it's every man for himself. Just ask a Libertarian.
You know what companies do when they're having trouble in Japan? They all take a pay cut- even the CEOs. They work TOGETHER as a team. Amazing what that can do for a society.
I don't think it's a problem of political party because plenty of looting has happened under democrat governments as well. As for the rest of your post, can't really disagree there. Some cultures just seem to handle times of distress with more grace than others.

That kid's an arrogant little twirp in those commericals. If he's a Mac I'd rather be an abacus. Blech.
I'm confused.... how is he arrogant?
I think some people just hate the message, or anything that reminds them of something they're not but wish they were.....

It's posts like yours that make me think about buying my next blender from him, just to spite you.
You act like the iPad they destroyed for the purpose of promotion was impossible to replace... like there will always be one person who wanted an iPad in the world who can never have one now, because he blended THAT one. Ridiculous!
All he did was help Apple sell one more iPad and increase their success with the product, while succeeding in advertising his own product at the same time. I'm pretty darn sure the last few blenders I owned could *never* accomplish the feat he pulled off. In fact, I had to replace the one before last because it died trying to grind up some ICE for drinks I was trying to make. Most of the cheaper blenders are slapped together in China .... and I somehow doubt that's the case with his. Buying his blender probably helps create jobs in the U.S. - which is a GOOD thing right now.
But people like you want him to LOSE his job (not spelled with 2 o's BTW), and for his company to go under, causing many MORE jobs to be lost. All why? Because you're all upset he didn't give YOU the iPad for free instead of blending it??
This guy and his company are freaking really stupid. Don't buy a blender from them, let's all boycot them.
I hope that this guy looses his job, and I hope that this company goes out of business. Take the thousands of dollars that they they have spent destroying perfectly good stuff and donate to someone that has dreams of being able to afford one of these!
Just stupid. I hope that mac rumors pulls this whole thead down!

She may, or may not, have exercised poor judgement. We do not know. We don't know if jumping on the hood of a car with your pissed off husband in the driver's seat is poor judgement? Come now, skunk. Be honest. I understand that you think the wife shouldn't be given any legal charges, this much I agree with, but don't tell me we don't know if she used poor judgement.
He, definitely and 100%, was a homicidal tool. We do know that. He admitted as much. Cool. I never argued that wasn't so.
Only one person is guilty.Of what exactly? You seem to be arguing two different discussions and argue with ambiguity.

Yes, magnesium is very flammable, but really only in finely powdered form.
That's true, but my dad had an old broken laptop with a magnesium frame. Just for fun he decided to try to light it on fire. I didn't think it would work, because I assumed the frame was probably some alloy including magnesium and besides magnesium doesn't burn easily unless it's in small pieces. Well, it took him a fair bit of effort with a propane torch, but he did succeed in lighting it and it burned VERY brightly, just like a firework.

But, at least they include a HDMI cable and don't forget to tell you that you can't get full HD without it, eh Sony.
Oops, that was a little console war-ish of me.
Not at all.....since others are adding complete costs of accessories to the price of the Xbox 360, it's only fair of you to mention that one needs to add the cost of the HDMI cable to the PS3 so that it can actually be in "true" high definition (since it is not high definition out of the box). Has that little tid-bit actually been forgotten by everyone already? So add another $20-$100 depending on how "good" of an HDMI cable one will want/need/be told is the best, etc. :)
The Premium 360 was already giving you HD out of the box and now the Elite will give you HDMI HD out of the box, just as many had hoped for. The PS3 does not give you that. Sony needs to now step up and add this cable for free to their PS3. Then if each company keeps trying to "one-up" the other eventually we'll have consoles that are cheaper, cooler, quieter, come with all accessories one will ever need, and 10 free games :)
In the end; Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are all out to make a profit. There are many things each could do with their consoles to make them better for us, but they will only do these things once they feel they need to and cannot do much more with the current pricing/configurations. Right now, people are willing to pay these prices so why would a profit driven company want to reduce prices at this point?
I'd like to see:
-360 Elite with wireless for the current premium price and maybe an HD-DVD version for $100 more
-Nintendo Wii for $199 with the ability to connect a USB hard drive (as mine is filling up with all the VC purchases)
-PS3 $100 price drop and included HDMI/Component Cables
All 3 of these companies should do this before Christmas. I'll consider a PS3 once the price comes under $500 and includes the cable (mainly for Blu-Ray). The other 2 I have but I'd consider selling my 360 to get a newer one if the elite contained the above.
Hopefully they will all keep updating their consoles randomly, as I tend to have video game consoles longer than I have computers or cars :) I'd like to upgrade a console every now and then if it's a little better.

Ha ha ha! Way to prove you arent a Samsung rep..."3 iPad's down", give me a break, nobody could go through 3 iPad 2's with how tight supply has been. Take a hike.
they have replacement and waranty supply at every store that aren't for sale or inventory, only for replacements. If you check a dozen other threads you'll see many people (not just noobs) with this issue who have gotten a couple replacements. I'm too lazy to link you but go look.

Actually the recent news about the location db is a completely unrelated issue.
1. Apple does collect location data in order to improve their location services. This was long ago disclosed to regulators and users. This is NOT the target of the recent media buzz.
2. Your phone dynamically creates a local cache of known cell tower locations in order to aid in GPS triangulation (the "a" in aGPS). This is the recent hot topic and has been grossly misrepresented by the media. (Apple does not collect this data, because they sent it to you in the first place)
Oddly enough ALL cellular phones on GSM create a local cache of known cell tower locations - this is agnostic of GPS and has nothing to do with it. Long time WinMobile 6/6.1/PE and Nokia S60 2nd/3rd Edition users that have used CellLOCK or a similar apps can attest to this.

I'm still under NDA, so I can't tell you as much as I would like about what was NOT talked about at the SuperMeet, but I will quote one Apple rep that I spoke with after the event: "This is only the first look, wait until we can share the full announcement."
I heard what the execs were saying after the event. There is much more to come. And I can't wait!
P.S. Don't let the negative rumors get you too worried, yet. Those that know, can't say. Those that don't know, are just guessing and enjoy making you nervous. We will all know more soon.

Not at all. Sales are determined and calculated by part numbers ... by any reliable firm, that is. Perhaps, you're not familiar with such practices? Maybe you spend too much time viewing simplified/dumbed-down blogs instead of actual sales/business forecasts. It's OK, at one juncture, all of us had to spoon-fed.

Sales are determined by model number. Inventory control is calculated by part number.
Keep trying, though. I'm quite amused.

I would rather see Apple sell unlocked GSM phones at the Apple Stores, and CDMA (with hopefully EV-DO) phones through the carriers themselves.. CDMA carriers don't love phone hardware portability. I would love to own an unlocked Apple cellphone, I'm sure it would be possible though
