See I'm probably even more jaded than you because I certainly don't associate university with internships. Sure some universities have programs that involve them but you can get one otherwise, or if you are like me the company approaches you for your good work, so it's not IMO a redeeming aspect of university either…

Science specialization in Computer Science minoring in business (which is verbatim, such a horribly convoluted mouthful when they could just set my minor separately instead of making it part of my major).

Admittedly I'm not an engineer but I don't see it being any different from the Computer science, or nursing faculties.

Maybe in the states college is training for a job, but in Canada university (our colleges are equivalent to your trade schools, our universities do undergrad and graduate level) is NOT training for a job. There will be nothing at all useful pertaining to the career you want available at the university. Rather it is a…

Your example is flawed because you can recoup at least a significant amount of your investment from a mortgage, whereas renting you get nothing back under any circumstances, and (at least around here) renting costs a hair more than having a mortgage because of the housing market being depressed right now.

Yup, all a university degree tells me is that you (and I) are willing to pay tens (or hundreds) of thousands of dollars for a piece of paper. They don't teach worth beans and certainly nothing useful. Biggest example of fraud I've ever been exposed to.

Vote: iTunes. If you aren't using a mac, get a better computer.

And how does that help when you can't paste into the password field of the app that needs the password?

None, I talk on my phone.

This doesn't take into account the keyboard shortcuts of your editor or code generation. It assumes you write everything as if it were plain text, which is absurd.

Problem being your editor almost certainly does most of the work for you. If you are typing more than 10% of your code you need a new tool.

As one possibility Apple could easily buy the computer part manufacturing division of Samsung when they sell off all their assets.

You mean the chip intel added?

It's funny but I almost never have a clock visible on my screen, I'm usually using emacs fullscreen with enough "windows" so that the mode-line clock is obscured on every window.

So somehow you believe that R&D is free? Good to know you are an ignorant child who has yet to set foot into the world beyond your parents sheltering.

No, get away with deliberately and knowingly copying patented concepts without paying licensing fees.

I love the submarine radar ping, such a pleasant sound for when you make a mistake.

By the same card it'd go faster if they all wrote $80B and put Samsung down.

I think it was when Samsung decided that they could get away with it and started manufacturing.
