There is not a relation at all between the brand of device on uses and the intelligence of the user. There is however a relation between the content of your post and your personal intelligence.

It’s frightening how few people understand this and think Apple can just come up with any device and that thanks to marketing they can sell it to the masses. It doesn’t work like that at all.

500 people a day on Kinja “win the Internet for the day”. People need to find a new comment, it is getting old.

When I recline, I always have a short discussion with the person behind me. Usually (in Europe at least) the seats recline above the knee of the person behind you, so there is no decrease in leg space for the person behind you. Nevertheless I check whether there is not a laptop or food, or a 8 foot person behind me.

That sounds about equally stupid as saying that you don't buy an iPhone because you hate Apple fanboys.

Just a matter of time now until they announce to start to produce actual games for iOS and Android and abandon hardware.

The grass IS greener on the other side! We finally have proof!

There is no point in washing cold if you are going to tumble dry them anyway (tumble drying works with heat). Best is to wash cold or at most 30 degrees Celsius (sorry Americans, look up what the Fahrenheit figure is) and to air dry the polo.

Well, I guess they could look ok. These shirts are meant to be worn without a tie and be well fitted. But people tend to wear them to the office with a tie, with the usual 20% too much fabric that is so often seen in American suits and shirts. People tend to look like this:

Short sleeve shirts are horrible. Buy a long sleeve and roll the sleeves up. Looks better and suits more occasions. Ask any fashion conscious woman what they prefer and it is this that they will mention.

Do you find that people take you more seriously when you substitute the “s” in Microsoft with a “$”?

You should tell that not to me but to the people here that disagree with the casting.

99% of the world population was convinced casting Heath Ledger was a mistake. Now it is the other way around. Why not wait and see the movie before jumping to conclusions.

None of the people you mention represent black people in an official capacity, not lied about their parents being black or even mentioned that they are in fact black. It is a bad analogy.

Great, and now make sure that the Qatar World Championship preparations continue without any more deaths and that a large chunk of the proceeds go to the families of the workers.

Still it doesn’t make sense. First exhaust the option that brings the most benefit (i.e. roofs). What the Dutch government should do is invest in small scale research to optimize the technology and focus on bringing tax benefits for solar panels to house owners, business owners and large office buildings so they are

I live in The Netherlands (Amsterdam actually). There is probably more roof surface in the Netherlands than there are roads. Even if there were less roof surface than roads, the lower cost and increased efficiency of roof mounted solar panels outweighs those of road mounted panels. It is a nonsense idea.

Do not speak on my behalf. I don't support FIFA at all. And no I don't watch football either.

It isn’t Smith, look at the white fingers.

Chemistry? It's a load of scripted and rehearsed bollocks. There is nothing natural about anything of the latest episodes. You could give me the script and put me in the studio and I would have the same kind of rehearsed chemistry with Clarkson et al.
