I did read it, and aside from mentioning she saw Eastern doctors, there's no other mention.

What does it mean she consulted Eastern and Western doctors? Would Eastern doctors say anything differently?

Since finding and punishing group chants is the new trend this year, can we go after the military too and get rid of their sexist, homophobic, racist, islamophobic chants?

I don't understand the process here. They ship hardware you ordered to a different address? Then what?

People assume we'll only have autonomous cars when every stage of the problem is solved.

But if you watch enough Judge Judy, then where's the proof in an upcoming lawsuit over rent?

As late as 1911, doctors in California had to report all cases of syphilis to the state.

Between 1998 and 2002, Comedy Central produced and televised the annual roasts of the New York Friars Club.

The original Friars Club roasts that CC aired (before they started making their own) had some big names, and there was clearly camaraderie.

I heard the same, until I actually read the books and found them more fascinating than the people complaining about them made them out to be.

There are secret shoppers who grade them.

This was a minor issue, until she started lying about it.

That's not what he's saying. He's saying gays are SO MUCH WORSE than these racists, and we should be condemning him first.

Go read the Tumblr blog Rich Kids of Instagram. There are people who will blow this much money on a dinner and pretend it's nothing. Yes, people will pay this much so they can brag about it.

It's hard finding a news source from 2000 (has it really been 15 years already?), but you may find it in MacWorld magazine from that era. Sorry, most mac news sites of that time like MacMinute are gone.

Because some people, especially in Asia, will buy it and show it off. The economic idea of Conspicuous Consumption does not require the luxury item to have a point. The $1000 "I am Rich" app did nothing but people bought it anyway.

Go read Apple's marketing on the website and tell me they don't put in just as much effort as Rolex's pieces:

And you have no idea how Apple's customer support works. When the 20th Anniversary Mac (released in 1997 for $7500) became obselete, Apple gave their users a free upgrade to a G4 cube.

You're not in their market. In a place like China, people will buy and wear this just to show it off. Wealth is meant to be flashy in Asia, whereas in America many people may try hiding their Apple Watch at work.

This $10k watch will be obsolete in a few short years.
