The reason Apple is superior to Windows is because Apple products WORK....and Apple is able to achieve this because it maintians control and thus standards.
I may be way off base, but when my old macbook died and I got a cheap Windows laptop I was stunned by the drop off in quality. Basically the damn thing barely worked because you had 500 different developers all doing half-assed crap and shoving it into the Windows universe. Microsoft doesn't really care if it works or not and boy does it show.
Apple doesn't really allow that. Does this cost more? Sure...and I am willing to PAY as much as it costs to own a product that works!
Windows is cheaper, but doesn't work nearly as well.
Apple is more expensive and rarely has a problem. I can't tell you how many products I've bought, plugged into a Windows laptop and then spent the next 3 hours trying to get the damn thing to just recognize that a device has been plugged it! And then we have to download the drivers. Which never seem to work either.
Whatever Apple is doing...I demand they keep doing.
Yeah, it would be a nice feature...but then again could AT&T actually handle sending video (assuming SENDING short video clips is the whole point of the feature)? They can't even provide more than one bar of coverage in the middle of the most populace metros areas in the US! Simply making a phone cll pushes AT&T's infrastructure to the absolute limit.
The iPhone would be the greatest device in the world...if it could have been developed within Japan's wireless infrastructure.
But we live in America and America is a 3rd world country when it comes to bandwidth.
So I personally believe that Jobs said "Fuck it" to the video because it would just be another embarrasement. The damn iPhones cna't even make CALLS 52 percent of the time, so let's not venture into videos.
We see the exact same phenomenon with the iPorn apps. People use them for only 2-3 mins and then never revist them. Not even a phone call!
It is insulting to label people who still have questions about the effects of vaccines as "conspiracy theorists."
Every human being has a unique gentic structure.
Will every single person who takes YAZZ get a blood clot? No, but there is POETENTIAL, isn't there?
Will every single human being who taken an Ambien sleeping pill have night terrors or feel a compulsion to gamble ( a swear-toGod listed side effect)? No, but the poetential is there.
Now what if these vaccines only effect one in 100,000 kids? And what if it doesn't always induce autism but other neutlogical symptoms such as ADHD?
Does that mean that vaccines instantly cause autism in all human beings every single time? No, and no one is saying that it does. Repeat: no one here is arguing that ALL vaccines instantly create autism in all human beings (instantly!) within minutes of injection.
What we are saying is that there is enough unanswered questions about the vaccines so that is, to be blunt, a damn lie to tell parents, "We personally gaurantee that this vaccine will never, not under any circumstances, ever have any harmful neurological impact on your child."
And that is exactly what this article is saying.
People are "stupid" who have doubts about the dangers and unknown side effects of these vaccines.
No one is arguing that vaccines alone cause autism nor are we saying that everyone everywhere will instantly get autism if they get a vaccine.
We're just saying: don't bullshit us.
It hasn't been proven that these vaccines are 100 percent harmless in everyone and, yeah, it damn well could cause problems in 1 in 100,000 kids.
People have a right to know and its criminal to imply that these vaccines are basically gauranteed by God Himself to be 100 percent harmless to everyone when no such thing has been proven.
Yes, we'll all conceed that 99 percent of the population will never have an adverse reation, okay, but can you really say with 100 percent cetainty that not a single human child will ever have a "bad reaction" to these vaccines that might/possibly impair their neurological development?
