Being that this system is being marketed towards the Green demographic, I don't know how many people actually *need* to charge their devices out in the sun. I just wonder how green the process of making the plastic, mining the copper, or making the battery is.. and balancing that against whether we actually have a…

I never said anything was an excuse or not...things just are what they are, and if you don't believe in the concept of atonement, well, that's a shame for you. Either way, this is a stupid thread.. take your bitterness somewhere else.

A 21 year old genius / idiot, that's who. I sure hope my life isn't defined by the mistakes I made when I was 21. The most important component of this thread is Lisa Jobs - she loved her father and they had a great relationship.

Quantify it, please. How much of the 1 degree bump is man's fault, and how much is Sun/Earth's fault?

It's an added step between the sale of crack and a dollar bill for a drug dealer, but presumably it's a way to increase crack's profit margin..I can't imagine a dealer giving some junkie the copper's current spot price.

As long as the space allocation in economy is the same as other planes, I don't care how fuel efficient or cheap it is. In the reality of being in that cramped seat, it's gonna suck just the same.

That's a crappy comment. He had his daughter when he was 21, initially denied her, but within a few years started slowly developing a relationship with her. The relationship grew over time, and they became close by the time she reached adulthood. Nobody is perfect.

You have a gift for hand-wringing hysterical hyperbole. You're spouting brochure platitudes and your 2nd paragraph is just dumb sillytalk. You simply cannot tell me how much man has contributed to a 1 degree bump in global temps. You can't do it, cause it hasn't been quantified. I would love to hear you explain…

I am certainly a fan of renewable energy. BTW, great response, much appreciated. The only thing that concerns me is the practicality of it.. we just cannot produce enough energy via solar and whatnot to keep up with demand. Right now, we can mirror up an enormous chunk of the desert and only generate several 10s of…

We are shutting down coal/gas/oil electric plants every day, with no practical replacement..we're building new nuke plants at a snail's pace. We have a bare bones oil refinement capability, quadrupled the cost of light bulbs (that have a poisonous element in them). We're beholden to a terror filled region of the…

Dude, learn to read. You cannot quantify how much impact man has had on the increase in global temperatures. You have anecdotal evidence..a melted glacier or a tire factory..but none of that factors in solar activity in concert with naturally occurring phenomena (volcanos and such). What you don't have is data. …

The extent that man's responsible for the global warming has NOT been determined..not even close. The onerous regulation and red-tape that's cropped up due to an unproven assertion has devastated this country's energy potential.

I asked her that..she promptly replied that the current barometric pressure where I live is 29.27inHg.

Shouldn't there be plenty of room in a phone with a 4.65" screen? Galaxy Nexus essentially has the same specs as an iPhone (yeah yeah, whatever..the difference ain't thaaaat different), yet the iP is much smaller. I think the barometer came to be in this phone *because* there is extra room.

He didn't steal a liver or jump in line. You either don't know what you're talking about or you're just an asshole. I tend to think you're just a bitter asshole, and it doesnt really matter if we're talking about Steve's liver or not. Steve used the system to his advantage, something all of us would do if we had…

My uncle withered away from cancer in a very similar way to Steve. Having seen that firsthand, if Steve called the day before he passed, his voice would've been weak, breathing would've been difficult, and it almost certainly would not have been a professionally coherent call. I hate it for both Steve AND Tim...it's…

That's the best summation of Apple research that I've read. I'd give you a star if I had one to give.

A very fortunate thing that the 9th of Av in 1883 wasn't a calamitous day at all.

This test is like pushing a female german bodybuilder off a ten foot ledge...and then doing the same to Gisele.

If the graphic is not visible: The top 1% pay 38% in all federal personal income taxes, which is 20% of total AGI...the 1% earners equates to salary above $380k ..and their average effective tax rate is 23% (the highest rate among the salary percentage breakdowns).
