Think about this: one day—and this will happen soon—NASA will discover life in other planets.

You shouldn't feel dumb because the answer doesn't really matter unless you personally care. There are tonnes of facts that people know about things that have no relevance to anyone but themselves (or the segment that care about it) and that's quite all right. If you're not interested in scientific explanations of…

"You can buy it in two sizes—small or medium"

Sadly, the chance of a pilot being drunk is much higher than for your phone causing trouble.

So you do know the truth and just don't care. Fair enough but it doesn't inspire much confidence in much of anything you say.

Since they're a "socialist paradise" why would they put any stock in that aristocratic flummery.

Because it's a consumer device. Why have more than one iteration of iPhone out there? The first one did everything you needed pretty much didn't it? People want and expect change. They don't want simple, elegant and robust unless it's also new.

What's his being richer got to do with anything exactly?

Yes, NYC is not like any other place. When I lived there, I saw a lot of famous people that did their own shopping who can't go out of the house in California without being mobbed. When I first moved there I kept track of the famous people but it got tedious because so many were out and about just living their lives.

"They are ruining the franchise by using it for trivial bullshit."

I'm not sure I understand the question. It wasn't allowed to be caught. As far as I understand it the US doesn't want them captured. It's like asking how have the US military allowed their soldiers to be killed when at war. They don't allow it per se, it's a consequence of sending it/them into hostile territory. Or…

I don't think thinking of nothing is actually possible. Hook it up to a dead person or even that sculpture and you'd have a better idea what nothing looks like.

"Game Center" wasn't trademarked but the game centre icon used by apple and isn't at all controversial anymore than the apple icon with the bite out of it is trademarked by Apple. I don't know of anyone else that uses that particular icon for anything.

They'll charge you for that bandwidth to send it to you or stream it, though.

Well then get her a phone and a data plan, you seem to be able to afford it.

You should see someone about your issues with your mother.

It has sound?

One of the reasons there are fewer dryers than sinks is they are way more expensive to install and maintain. A faucet dryer combo would probably be incredibly expensive, like everything made by Dyson. It would probably be earsplittingly loud like their other public toilet hand dryers but with a special parabolic sound…

It is exactly a gazillion dollars at 9 AM this morning. You'll have to do your own calculations for subsequent times.
