Me: Damn babe, the Waif is like the damn T-2000!

Maybe I’m naive but I trust Apple with my personal data far more than Google and Amazon. Didn’t the Snowden leaks prove that Google was working closely with the NSA?

Safety is one aspect, but the main reason is that this way is actually cheaper... Returning to the launch site would require a lot of extra fuel, you have to overcome a fair bit of momentum to ‘turn around’ like that. It’s much cheaper to move the landing site close to where a ‘normal’ rocket would splash down...

How do you get 100 million when I already told you 1.2 Billion? Tesla reported many months ago the S was over 1 billion miles. And 10,000 miles?? What? Even mine has 35,000 and I’d say I’m the below average user. So your conclusions are way off. Should this fire have happened? No, but then again we don’t know if this…

“According to the U.S Federal Highway Administration data, roughly 2,980 billion miles were driven, on average, per year on U.S. roads during this period. Roughly 90 highway vehicle fires and 0.15 highway vehicle fire deaths were reported per billion miles driven.”

On average, 90 highway vehicle fires per billion miles…

Because it’s so much worse than when an ICE car’s gas tank explodes. I swear, it’s a running theme every time there’s a Tesla post: someone makes a vague, underhanded your-uncle-on-Facebook kind of comment that somehow batteries make these cars more “dangerous” in some way. Come on: “cut loose?” You make lithium-ion…

Anything that pushes kids into getting physics degrees is a good thing!

Check your privilege bro - don’t be tax shaming Apple.

So, Apple should needlessly bring profits domestically for no reason other than to pay tax on it? It’s the Governments responsibility to make the appeal to bring that money on shore. The Chinese has “won” Apple from us and all America is doing is pointing fingers and crying like bitches.

Companies aren’t going to simply write checks that they aren’t required to. The taxcode is the taxcode; if it allows behavior such as Apple’s, the problem isn’t Apple’s, but the writers of the code.

Apple is not the only corporation that uses overseas tax havens for international profits. That’s why corporations have such highly paid lawyers and accountants, to keep as many dollars in their bank account as the international tax codes allow (i.e. playing by the rules). 500 of the biggest corporations have an…

The USA tax system is a complete mess. Tear it up, start fresh with a fair corporate tax rate and no loopholes. But this won’t happen as there is an entire economy built on the complexities of the tax code. To fix it would all of a sudden leave a lionshares of accountants and firms obsolete.

There are no loopholes, there is the code as written and that is it. If people don’t like it get the code changed.

And your point is? They’re playing by the rules set by U.S. federal, state and local governments. Don’t like it? Fire your representatives. It is they that don’t have the fortitude to make the necessary changes as it limits their ability to negotiate. Why do you think these companies haven’t been charged with anything…

True. The bottom line is that if the politicians want Apple (and others) to pay more in taxes, change the tax code. Don’t sit around and whine about it.

I must not be a photographer, because so far the iPhone 6s looks the best to me. Not so washed out, and I’m accounting for the lighting differences.

As much as I love my Galaxy S6, this is clearly a guy who dislikes people who like iPhones and how they’re taking a bunch of photos with them. We get it, you’re a camera hipster, you can stop shitting on people who like taking pictures of their kids.

Your first comparison is bullshit. I can see the windows on the Empire State Building with the 6s, not so much with the Moto X.
