point well said

Thank you brother, you have seen the light!

Apple consumers don't care, remember apple is still only a small % of the market

I'm not hating on Amazon, I order from Amazon every day, I've had a prime account since you could get a prime account. I'm hating on the fact that State/Fed are trying to ruin a good thing by taxing something that doesn't need to be taxed.

No, don't have govt, hate paying 50% of your paycheck towards taxes.

And what?

No they're fighting it tooth and nail: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_tax

Yes I just bought one last week, they've come down a lot. Like I said, no reason not to use a higher capacity SSD rather than that hybrid crap

You're right, for $2K I'd expect a helluvalot more. I think they're banking on the fact that people will pay a HUGE premium for the Retna display + the name.

It's not commonplace, it's Apple.

Just waiting for the State and Fed govt to start taxing the shit out of Amazon so they can destroy the whole thing.

you can get a retail 500GB SSD for $300, so not sure what you're talking about.

Still, I just bought a retail 500GB SSD for $300. 128GB for applications/high speed data access is very small. After the OS and a few programs you're done. At that price point I'd expect more SSD and no HDD

They lost me at the HDD/SSD hybrid drive. For that price why wouldn't you have straight up SSD?

That's freakin' hysterical, the dude probably bought them at Ikea for $19.99

I did not come up with "Asian," being the name given to people in Asia or African being the name given to folks from Africa so don't write me a 2 paragraph mini-thesis on why it is wrong. I don't know what educated standard you're referring to, but the general standard of classification is what it is.

you can argue and name call all you want, that doesn't change the fact that "ASIAN," is a race. Anything that falls below that is a sub-category of said race.

Why does a butchers block need to be 'inspired' by anything?

Here try this: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=list+of+races

Not sure what country you're from, but anywhere outside of Asia, "ASIAN" is a race. Granted it's not completely accurate, but it is what it is.
