It is not that the cost of living in China is dirt cheap compared to the US, it is that the workers in China are willing to settle for much less. I'd like to find one American worker willing to live 6 people to one bedroom without water, electricity, heat, or a bathroom. To buy a comparable...

$800 is a hell of a lot of difference a month. At minimum-average wage, the typical person makes between $1160 to $1600 a month. You are basically saying being in an union automatically entitles these people to an extra 50-80% than their non-union counterparts. Why? Do they work any harder or...

All Apple has to do is release the iPhone 4S2, now available in colors like pink and blue, and all this publicity nightmare will blow over :rolleyes:

Google labeled mugs, shirts, hats, pants, backpacks, decals, etc.

Well then I dunno what "comp sci" ppl you know. All my former classmates who majored in Comp Sci have 4-5 builds at least under their belts. In fact, part of their graduation requirement is to build a fully functional computer from OEM parts. This includes physical build, software...

Yes, but EVERY Apple customer pays extra just for aesthetics. There are those people that spend hundreds or thousands to bling out their blackberry/android devices or PCs, but those are usually a minority.

You can pay any college grad with a comp sci degree $200 and he'll build it for you, install everything, test it to work, etc. It does not cost $1200 to assemble a computer. If it did, everyone on this forum would be out making millions. "AND LOOKS BETTER" This. Apple fans pay thousands...

Dunno what the shit you been on, I've had a Dell laptop, an Asus laptop, and a Sager (Taiwan brand) laptop. None of their click/touch pads have EVER broken. Go enjoy your shitty mackbook with its single click.

Wait... what? Spend more on PC stuff than Apple stuff? Since when? Last I checked: Apple Monitor: $400 Comparable non-Apple: $200 Apple Laptop: $2300 Comparable non-Apple: $1500 Apple Keyboard+Mouse: $120 Comparable non-Apple: $60

Actually, Apple has a history of using the cheapest shittiest hardware possible for all their products. Their devices have proven time and again to be less reliable than competing brands in the same price-range. As for decent job of UI, that's simply because they don't give you as many...

Hipsters without jobs marching to protest jobs in China. Yay irony.

Surprised that Apple with all their "controlled monitored appstore" actually has more crashes than Android, which has an open app market. I guess it's much easier to code a proper program when the source code is open source. Personally, I have a Galaxy S2, never modded anything, in fact...

All the people here crying for Amazon to actually pay taxes need to learn a few hard facts. First: Amazon pays all taxes it has to. States are trying to force Amazon to collect taxes from ITS CUSTOMERS. AKA, YOU AND ME. So don't think of it as Arizona is trying to tax Amazon, think of it as...

FFXI was extremely poorly programmed and executed, and probably has some conflicting resource reservation system with Skype.

Google could do so much troll if they wanted. 1. Any directions you try to obtain through Google Maps in France directs you to Bottin headquarters. 2. Anyone trying to obtain directions for Bottin headquarters or find it on the maps gets directed to the city sewage plant. 3. Delete...

I would respectfully bring up Airsoft. It's paintball, but with guns that look real, and takes real tactical gear/accessories.

It is a rare and beautiful thing when Android and iPhone users can put their differences aside to come together in ugly ugly nerd love.

The closest thing an Apple user gets to a real girl is Siri. Why do you think she's so popular. Been using Android since it came out, married, wife uses Android too.

The results are in percentages. Doesn't matter how many people they interviewed, as long as it's a statistically significant amount. If you interview 100000 Android users and 500000 had sex, and interviewed only 100 apple users and 50 had sex, still same percentage. Also, I lulz at all the...

You can be sure if Bottin Cartographes came up with a free map while Google had a paid one, and Google tried to sue them in France, the Frenchies would laugh Google out of court. So if I was to walk around France handing out bread food to the poor/homeless, I would be sued by every restaurant...

I guess it all depends on which warehouse your orders are shipped from. Personally I'm ordering from NY, and every shipment I've made has been perfectly packaged.

Great no finally get some insider info! Thanks for the heads up!

Not that hard to quit out... your Esc key brings up the main menu, from there, quit.... standard of any game really....

I was one of the people who bought the game with a monthly plan back when it first came out, had a subscription and everything. Quite honestly, I can say that the new F2P revision is a vast improvement. The original STO felt like it was released before everything was fully thought out. It had...

Are you sure it was directly from Amazon, and not an Amazon third party seller? I've been shopping at Amazon for 4 years, never once had that happen. At most, they'll have one of those fold together cardboard containers, with perforated tabs to open it with. But I've never seen anything with...

"Nano" is now being thrown around by every hip tech company as a term for "smaller than you would expect". Case in point: Apple Ipod Nano.

"Lets all jump on the captain obvious bandwagon!" :rolleyes: Dutch Supreme Court sentences a knifepoint robbery to only 3 weeks. Meanwhile the US courts are sentencing "online pirates" to years in prison. What's that say about US justice?

Agreed. Share some pirated files, go to prison for 5 years. Rob a kid at knifepoint, get 3 weeks of community service. Yay US justice.

About time some "journalists" stopped living in their own dream worlds with their rosy haughty outlook on everything, and experienced what real society is like. Maybe now their stories will actually be relevant.

Most of the competetive online MMOs all have a clause stating that values and possession of these online items are subject to change at any time for whatever reason they choose. Once you agree to the EULA, that's it. It's like when you hand over money to an investment banker for them to invest...

Meet the new squadron of nano-bombers, delivering nerve gas straight to your bedroom window.

"and Gordon is a "big admirer of Xbox Live."" This explains EVERYTHING folks.

By using arguments that are at least plausible. That'd be like trying to argue if I hacked your bank account and stole all your money, it's not robbery, since I only stole digital representations. Objects have whatever value people are willing to honor/trade for them. Our digital bank accounts...

Basically this no-name lawyer remembered some other no-name lawyer using the "violent videogame" excuse before, thought, crap, I have no valid argument myself, lets jump the bandwagon and do it too!

I find your total disregard of the original thread just to try to flamebait totally boring.

Careful now, you're letting your ignorance show through, wouldn't want that now would we. Apple has already proven they don't care what their manufacturers do as long as their customers keep buying their products as fast as they can make them. They haven't given two damns about what the...

First off, I'm 26, married, working, and paying off a mortgage. Just because I have a different opinion from you doesn't make me a "kid". I find the people who jump at the chance to call other's "kid" are often teens themselves still living at home with their parents. Second, why would Apple...

While it's all well and easy to sit here preaching from a high chair, more people need to actively do something about it. Keep in mind, companies like FoxConn are empowered by American consumers. We keep buying products from companies that outsource work to such shady manufacturers, and they in...

I want that hat.
