Yep, if you can get a low interest rate (especially 0-2%), anyone who is financially responsible would be better off investing their money for the duration of the loan since you'll get better earnings than that in the market.

This is basically a non-issue. Dual booting a mobile device is ridiculous for virtually everyone - only a select few are going to be interested in setting up and maintaining two environments in the first place, let alone switching between them.

Here's the thing, though... all that guy did was increase the number of times he went out on a date. The fact that it took him the better part of 100 "first dates" is indicative of how little what he did actually refined the process.

Yep, around there. I think smartphones are at 80% while tablets are around 70%, but there are a lot more smartphones sold than tablets so...

It's special to the Kindle. No other Android tablet can use the app.

You asked why Nikon chose a smaller sensor and didn't put their APS-C sensor into a small body. Micro 4/3 is not APS-C, it's a smaller sensor. Nikon wasn't going to adopt that standard, any more than Canon was/did, but they did adopt that philosophy - a smaller sensor shrinks all of the components.

I'd likely pay the additional cost if they had a freakin' Android streaming app. They're going to increase everyone's membership by 25% but they can't support the OS the comprises 80% of the mobile market?

There are plenty of gains to be had to switch full frame or APS-C sensors to mirrorless, but that's not the target of this camera. Cramming a DX sensor into a tiny body is nice and all, but does nothing to reduce the size of the lenses you need to cover the sensor.

I'm not saying you need to be rude - I am a very polite person.

So, in short: be direct, firm, and unequivocal.

Objective statement: worth it, or generalized B.S.?

Yeah... I was a pretty good kid but I ended up with much the same understanding that you did. I didn't lie a lot, but if I did, the only way I was going to acknowledge it was if presented with irrefutable, absolute evidence.

Probably pretty accurate. The people in the middle are generally starting to become aware that they know more than many, but without that really solid mastery of the material.

It's funny, I feel like there'd be a U-shaped graph if you were to plot "amount of knowledge someone has" against "acceptability of saying 'I don't know.'"

I agree that Windows has a lot to gain from this. Application discovery is a huge problem for the decentralized internet model, especially for the average user who might not be clear on sites that do quality app reviews (e.g. Lifehacker) as opposed to click-bait sites (e.g. "CLICK HERE FOR OUR TOP 10 APP LISTS" ...and…

I'm far more comfortable renting my software from Apple or Microsoft or Google than I am from Adobe, for example. At least with the former, they have an entire dedicated infrastructure for managing and distributing the apps, so it's far more likely that they will be available in the long term.

Ahh yes, melted cheese that has been re-hardened, grease that has been re-congealed, and crust that has turned from crispy awesomeness to tough and soggy.

It's all people who fear change.

Plus, pizza re-heats pretty well.

The locked bootloader issue is a good point and is something I've mentioned to friends. I'm an "enthusiast" myself and have an unlocked bootloader/custom recovery/etc. on my tablet, which rarely leaves my house, but my phone is locked.
