I'm quite familiar with the trial and followed it. They were accused of colluding with publishers to fix prices. Apple and the others replied that Amazon was a monopoly and they were searching for ways to compete, which involved using an agency model and letting the publishers have more control over prices. Apple is…

Wait, so is there a chance Forrest has HIV too?

Conidering how the Justice Department sued Apple and a dozen publishers for trying to undercut Amazon, you'd think Amazon would be in the crosshairs now

Sigh, not another Uber argument again.

Windows mobile didn't have that feature widely on mobile phones (as well as Windows CE at the time), perhaps you're thinking of expensive laptop-priced tablets? Windows mobile was inching to some popularity on Treo phones and others, but a very small percent of the market used smartphones due to their prices and…

According to Dr. Ruth, Threesomes are unhealthy.

I remember this mockup! The artist later posted a youtube video showing how he falsified it.

People thought it was an issue because the previous touchscreens were cheap scratchable plastic with poor sensitivity. Back then, the best screen tech to point to was Palm Pilots and Treos. Styluses worked poorly on them, latency was poor, and it sounded like a bad idea all around. Apple changed that with glass…

Not to be a killjoy, but isn't that throwing away an enormous amount of taxpayer money? And they say there is no waste in the military budget.

Certainly not. If we are trying to see how we influence moods, we need an IRB. As I said in my above post, what if FB continued the experiment to see long-term effects? Could 6 months of Bad News posts drive someone to depression? I'd think so.

Mysteriously, yes. I wonder if they shopped around until they found one they could pressure. It's happened before.

Ugh, another propaganda piece that repeats the myth that Guantanamo inmates are dangerous monsters! Isn't anyone getting tired of this? Most of the inmates were released without charge, and many more waiting to go home after the CIA and Pentagon jointly agreed they pose no threat.

The issue is clear; if a doctor or psychologist tried this, they would have to get IRB approval. You need informed consent; such laws were passed after psychologists had tried a LOT of experiments on the unwitting public; simluating muggings, imminent death scenarios, etc.

Your 99% statistic is made up. The majority of Israelis recognize the conflict, about 30% of Israeli citizens dispute Israel's land ownership (if you don't count the Palestinians, in which case it's well over 50% if they are added in.)

I was kind of expecting something more like the books, aka The Truce at Bakura, but I know that's hard to film.

I believe this is the EW interview you mentioned.

It seems a lot of people assumed she's leaving them there to die.

Stannis doesnt make sense in the show the way it was clear in the books. In the books, once Davos gives him the letter and is spared from execution, he immediately sets sail for the wall. The show had him dawdle in Braavos to beg for money first.
