That's true, also I was too harsh.

This article was posted before and debunked. Believe it if you like.

If you believe your own claptrap you shouldn't you be killing as many humans as possible?

The fucking title says blacked out.

>i may never be able to tell you "i told you so", because in the future there may be no platform for us to express our discontent.
Statements like this make people roll their eyes and walk away. You don't need hyperbole to explain why mass surveillance is dangerous.

Google did not have to follow Apple's lead, yet they did.

>whatever the developers did someone would just crack it so why should anyone pay for games?
Isn't this largely mitigated on iOS with code signing? Unless you jailbreak, which most won't bother with, it doesn't matter if it is cracked, you won't be able to load it.

Money is root of evil today, but if you ask for any rise it's no surprise, they're giving none away.

>most people who are offered/asked nicely to stop coming in to work earlier will come to a suitable arrangement
What kind of arrangement? Keep all the money but don't come in? I would think three months at a position you are leaving would be kind of awkward.

The mail in rebate is also trying to get feedback from the customer, which is very difficult.

>people are lazy and you might be surprised but the fact is that they don't want to do work even for their own requirements.
And they will pay to avoid even the easiest chore. We got tired of not getting any response from people using our free trial and briefly required them to call us to activate their free trial. People started paying for the first month rather than make a phone call and some that paid never even used it. Crazy.

They lost 40% of their revenue in mobile phones in Q2 2013. It is amazing they retained any composure at all after being so thoroughly crushed.

I don't think you understand the scale of the US economy.

If you are starting a technology company you may want to rethink that idea.

>It's a big terrified nanny state where everyone in charge seems to be too scared to let anyone do anything cause it might hurt them emotionally or physically.
California is quite left of center, a bit of America becoming like Europe. At least, for now, you can still fire, and therefore hire at will, so they haven't gone completely over the edge.

From the article:
>There are scores of fast-food outlets, bakeries and cafes near Main Street, a half-mile away.
Too busy feeling smug to read the god damn article?

There are much bigger problems with the US than how religious it is currently. Gitmo is a disgrace, healthcare is a mess, keep running deficits. Being too religious is the least of the problems. The US is flawed, but it is not a theocracy despite what Europeans may believe.

If you believe a caricature to be literally true how are you not confused? I suspect many know it is not anywhere near true but enjoy anything that paints the powerful US in a bad light.
