    I get that people like the product. I guess my problem is if everything is innovation than nothing is.

    He lives with his dad and it's his dad's name on the internet connection. The lawsuit named his father so he just paid out to avoid any problems for him. It was several thousand if I recall to make it go away and he hired a lawyer

    Microsoft wasn't the first to do a single one of those things. Copying Apple and Google isn't innovative in my opinion nor Websters.

    For me Microsoft was at its best when they cut the cost of the average PC to low enough that nearly everyone could afford one. That's innovative, this stuff is window dressing.

    I've been saying the same thing. My coworkers bring up the surface when I mention it, but I don't see it. Tech in general has felt low innovation lately. Its time for silicon valley 2.

    We like to think things are so different from 50 years ago, let alone a few hundred. When I talk to people my age, they puff out their chests and tell me I'm a fool for buying a house. "If you had that money in the market you&#x27

    Oddly enough the policy closest to this that I've seen in the US was purposed by Sarah Palin. "Lt. Gov. Sean Parnell announced Friday that every eligible man, woman and child will receive $2,069, thanks to dividend payments from t

    I used to be that way (I went as far as dating a few borderline people). I didn't end up with someone like that though. I think partners like you describe are fun relationships but difficult partners long term. Its exciting but you pro
