I should have specified that I don’t consciously/deliberately purchase their garbage.

Maybe he can convince Joe Manchin to move to California!

She’s also a True Believer and enjoys filing frivolous lawsuits, both of which are important factors.

Seriously. I play NBA 2K[insert current version here] but I never have to do any microtransactions because I stay in MyEras and create weird situational season/career sims. If that got tied to microtransactions that’d tell it it was time to say goodbye.

I talk about “voting with my wallet” though it’s probably a misnomer because I don’t expect it to drive any sort of change.

The gold bars were a really nice touch, though.

Sure, that’s fair. But the model in question is not one of those. A review video from when it came out has it around the same price listed in the article.

In that case, though, she would’ve walked out with a Mac. Well, unless there’s some specific lawyer software that’s Windows-only.

Maybe, but it’s just as likely IMO that she cluelessly walked into Best Buy (or sent a similarly clueless minion) and let them pick one.

Yeah. Like, to each his, her, or their own but I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything quite like that.

Apple’s initial response to the overheating controversy is a part of its standard playbook. First, the company tells customers they’re the problem, before eventually admitting to some blame under pressure.

It’s even worse than Kmart buying Sears and killing them both. Sears was already in some measure of trouble when that happened (they were Amazon before Amazon and missed their chance to leverage that in the same way that Blockbuster missed their chance to evolve by not buying Netflix when they had the chance), but…

It’s the same corporate boot-licking horseshit that made people actually believe that Chipotle raised prices because they paid their regular employees slightly more rather than the ridiculous salaries and bonuses that their executives got.

It baffles me when people seem so confused about what a “household” is. Merriam-Webster defines it as:

You left out the important part of the quote:

Mine also got hot during the restore process but hasn’t done so since.

When I was selling Macs as a work study job in college, there was some sort of expo-type event and my friend Scott and I were assigned to work the Apple table. The person who was at the table with a Windows machine (I genuinely don’t know what company he was with but he wasn’t a student employee like we were) was…

Freaking Hendrick. We went to Reggie Jackson Airport Honda in Raleigh, which we didn’t realize until we walked in is a Hendrick dealership, over the weekend.

Seriously, look at all the fraud committed against Medicare and car dealers are even sleazier than health care providers.

Seriously, even in his dotage the man just oozed charisma.
