If I had a duplicate me, it would be spending time campaigning for a change in exactly this type of disclaimer. The default setting of anything like this should opt you out and seek re-confirmation. volcanic erupts

Well, you actually got a meaningful question/answer back/forth conversation going with support at Google. Congratulations. I'd say you scored. Sorry, my experiences have been far worse to the point that I am actively moving a

In many cases, I've always wondered this: Why not just shoot the legs? Why does it have to be "deadly force"? Just asking. My knowledge of this subject ends at watching Schwarzenegger target legs in T2.

Also, it seems to be missing an obvious way to export your message history? Am I missing something or does anyone know if this is on the todo list? Having said that I really like it and am encouraging my group to switch to test it out. I wo

I recall an article on exactly this suggesting that this is the only stereotype that TV can screen now which won't offend. For example, switch around the person who embodies the bumbling figure and in most cases it would be frowned upo

We recently stayed in (what was marketed as) one of the top residential, luxury skyrise apartment blocks in Thailand. For pennies. It was clear that it was only supposed to be for long term residents and short-term tenants airbnb/tripa

True, that's always the best bet and why, despite my admiration for the company, I have hardly any Apple products. However, I find it interesting from a business marketing point of view. Apple had their marketing impossibly perfect ove

I think that's point. I've never associated Apple as a "luxury" brand. Luxury in my mind is never necessarily the best. I know that. Whereas before I almost might have automatically seen Apple as the best. So for Apple t

I totally understand everything you've just said. That's fine. What I'm trying to get at is how uncomfortable I am with the way the brand is being positioned. I'll pay top dollar/pound for quality/best-in-class

That's a little bit like saying: "if there are a very large number of people who want to buy a grey-PC-looking-box running Windows, Apple will make it for them". Sorry, you're missing my point.

I don't know. I've never thought of Apple as "luxury". I thought of them as "premium". Premium. As in pay premium for the best. Positioning Apple as a luxury product isn't what I want or need as con/p

It should be "all about Apple". I admire the Apple design ethos, especially recently. It felt like they were trying to make the best product possible, whether I liked it or not. If you're telling me they chose gold just for A

"Indeed but Apple is aware that the FTC isn't likely to punish them enough that the behavior will be a net negative." If we believe in what we write, then we should punish them.

Agreed, London City Airport has been the only saving grace - it's possible to breeze through there in 20 minutes IIRC. Internal flights in Africa and Asia are pretty good in terms of time too . Some actually feel like train stations.

Great video. Exploding rockets and failed attempts give plenty to talk about and get excited about. But Spacex have already launched a rocket and landed it in a similar way as they are doing here. Ok, so they are flying it somewhere else, G

But how many of those jobs being generated are "high quality" and/or reasonable/high-paying jobs? I'd be interested in any stats which measure that - say, coming out of this recession versus previous recessions.
