   The problem is that Google represented itself as an altruistic supporter of open-source. People trusted it because it deliberately cultivated the impression of being more responsible than the default 'duh capitalism' mentality

   Try to brush it away, but laptops didn't look like this before Apple made them look like this. This may have minor differences from from Apple's design, but let's be honest about the fact that the design is based on Apple&#x

   I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying that you are deceiving yourself if you think you aren't denigrating them. That is clearly your intention, and you think the facts bear you out. Why not just be honest about

   I think you're wrong - it was in all the major news outlets and blogs.

   So you read no technology blogs or news sources? This has been anticipated for months.

   Apple considers price. If you want a $500 laptops there is a wide range of competing options and there is no need for them to involve themselves with that.

   Actually you are just denigrating their work with innuendo.

    I see that they are paid to promote some of those cards and that influences which ones they recommend, so this is just more Google sleaze.

    Your credit card gets lost if you drop it. But I'll concede that battery life may be an issue for some people.

    Not quite - line numbers were also the text editor.

    Nope. Recurring payments can use the same token, but that token is not a card number that can be presented to another merchant if stolen. Also, if a vendor is breached, only the tokens need be invalidated.

    So you've answered your own question. If you paid with your phone, you wouldn't have to worry about taking care of your wallet.

    The convenience argument is hard to make with reason - to some extent, you have to try it and see if it makes a difference for you personally. For me, it has changed my shopping behavior at Whole Foods from rare, carefully planned visits,

    The people who want to move but can't afford to are the exact same people who would be forced to move without prop 13. At least with prop 13, people are not forced out of the homes they have purchased. The problem is not with Prop 1

    Any word on why the iOS version has apparently been pulled again?

    How is this better than the Apple App Store? As soon as you have multiple ones, nobody knows which one to trust.

    So you think that home owners who don't work in high growth industries should be forced out of their homes.

    When there is bullying, anything other than a zero tolerance policy amounts to the school supporting the bullies. The reason for this is that the school is what forces the victim into contact with the bullies, and limits the victims strateg

    You haven't explained why that is 'damage' - only that there is difference from people who went to school.
