I'm willing to bet your data is hosted in multiple locations based on the service you're using. I don't think it's as simple as "Oh John Smith's account is hosted in Lenoir, NC".

This can be culturally biased as well. I find European groups tend to be more assertive where as east Asian groups definitely don't use imperative forms as a matter of course. I think the takeaway is to always consider the audience f

Logic Pro's built in plugins are also top-notch. You'd be hard pressed to find comparable in the commercial space piecemeal for $200.

Most Android-based devices are disposable products for which Google has no intention of supporting long-term.

Correct, after iPhone was released, it became apparently to Google that it wasn't just the carriers which were a roadblock to Google's unfettered monetization of the mobile space, but also Apple. Google leadership had these ridic

The biggest player at the time (in the US) was RIM. This is why initial Android prototypes were built using the HTC Sooner devices - they wanted to copy the Blackberry and iterate on that layout. Once the iPhone came out, Google had to pi

There is roughly 1.6 trillion dollars in student loan debt owed. 40% ($640 billion) of that will be defaulted on. There won't be any large derivatives markets set up to eat it like there were with the mortgage lending crisis. The pe

With student debt levels approaching the astronomical, and default rates escalating proportionately, I think we generally just have our heads in the sand about how absolutely wrecked we're about to become later on. So "sure, or c

Even with tax incentives and huge profit margins, the cost of a modern truck is still sometimes three times as much as a family car with the same seating capacity. It's the small social circle status symbol mentality which perpetuates

To haul their crumb-snatchers, yes. But this also doesn't explain why people are choosing to misappropriate farm vehicles (pickup trucks) as single passenger daily commuters.

This works find assuming the cheap car you bought in the first place doesn't blow an engine mid-year requiring everything you've saved in order to repair it. This happens more often than you (or Dave Ramsey) would imagine.

> not that people want to buy them. Completely incorrect. The market demand for gigantic cars in the US is virtually insatiable. And will remain so as long as the price of gasoline stays around $2-3 per gallon. Once we see ~$6/ga
