They never turned a profit, so no.

Will we see his love for enemas and his fruitarian diet? If not, still not watching a "Steve Jobs" movie.

There are so few taxis anyway, we couldn't use them if we wanted. This is the major experience of French people with taxis: not finding one / waiting hours for one even when ordered by phone (which costs more).

Contractors do not have "no regulations at all". That's nonsense. Contracting is a huge part of the regular economy. Moreover, most of the drivers are under the Auto-Entrepreneur regime and do pay taxes. This is entirely and comically incorrect. Uber does the financial transaction, you never...

This has nothing to do with being a "pussy", only with not wanting to be a slave.

I believe Steve Jobs loved them even more, treating his cancer with enemas.

This is NOT secure AT ALL. The data is still there. Running something like DBAN can erase most of the data, which is already better. I guess if you run it enough times, the data will assuredly be removed. But really, there is no reason not to use full disk encryption, all the time. You...

Probably a temporary communication failure with the NSA backdoor. Well that's believable, but quite noobish.

Yes; this is crucial to understand why it's so crazy. He had the incredible luck to know it early, and threw it all away.

This guy is a murderer, plain and simple. Juicing isn't very good, as you are not eating the whole fruit; for instance you're going to get more sugar than you can handle. I agree with LeninGHOLA wholeheartedly. And the whole "no vitamins thing" is way underspecified. Perhaps the standard...

Not to my knowledge but they make some cheap IPS screens.

US stocks are generally vastly overvalued. Quantitative Easing FTW.

Anyway the real reason is that Apple products are easy to resell. They are few models, many people want to find them cheaper, so there is great liquidity.

So to reduce crime, ban Apple products.

Exactly. The dollar is probably going to get a thorough beating in the coming years, probably more so than other fiat currencies. You can already see how hard the Chinese are trying to get rid of it (hint: they're buying bitcoins and gold, and then there is...

That's not so bad. But sell those litecoins for BTC before they drop even more.

Didn't read it, but, isn't it worse in every possible way? How does that make sense?

Why is this news? Steve Jobs is known to do these kind of things; like calling people who work for him "fucking dickless assholes".

It's already scary that they even use Windows.

They don't; their business model from the start is to live off dumb investors.

Indeed mining hardware is becoming obsolete very quickly (6 months if you're lucky). This should slow down a bit as we are becoming close to current mainstream tech (custom 28 nm ASICs) instead of relying on old processes.

Again, bitcoin mining does not ever stop, only rewards through inflation (as opposed as rewards through fees) gradually go down.

Please don't insult My Little Pony.

Bitcoin uses SHA256 and ECDSA, if those are broken you'd have much more important issues as they are widely used. The protocol is extensible though, and those algorithms could be replaced by something else.

Great question, that more people should ask. Mining is a bet on future difficulty, and manufacturers might not want to bet on it (and also on price, as their costs are mostly in other currencies). They could also have cash flow needs. So you could sell it for a little lower than expected to...

Central banks and state currencies are very new compared to human history. And guess what? Those fiat currencies have a very short average life time: 27 years. As for paying taxes, in many countries people only convert to the "legal tender" to pay them, but use other currencies as a store of...

It's a currency operated by no one in particular; it cannot be a scam, like gold cannot be a scam (but both can be a loss for their holders, of course). Whereas Madoff's fund was lying to investors (and operating as a ponzi).

Exactly. What people forget is that Twitter has been guzzling investor's money from the start. This shitty website costs a lot, and has a miserable revenue. And now the early investors want to try to cash out.

Do those phones still have no NFC?

So who's going to buy Microsoft?

"Because our government is supposed to protect us" when was that ever true?

My first thought. Nowadays a lot of comment on newspapers are just that, pointing out how bad the article is.

In my experience Apple customers aren't particularly rich, just bad at managing their finances. If Apple targeted rich people they wouldn't have to advertise buying their machines on credit.

Actually, Apple was the one to introduce the beige box style.

In my experience the worst "feminists" are male.

France already tried at least once but the law didn't pass. They will try again, and one day they will succeed. For now, French censorship is there but only if you sue ISPs - at least a judge has to order it and it's not secret list.

These are not facts. But the usage of "99%" tells me you just pulled those "facts" out of your ass. Here is a detailed survey: http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/nisvs_report2010-a.pdf

Censoring porn/child porn/racism/etc. is always an excuse to have the infrastructure to censor other things.

No, they always sucked, at security and other domains. What died with Steve is the reality distortion field.
