No safety valve....

To me as an European, it is incredibly funny just finding out there are people like you.

Calling someone who denies that humans affect climate change (after thousands of scientific researches that passed the peer test) a “climate denier” and “anti-science” is not derogatory. It is a simple truth.

It was about time. No russians, terrorists, Snowdens and Mannings can fuck up your beautiful country as much as the GOP.

Just look at Intel's line of XEON processors. Prices range from $200 to $4000. Mo' money, mo' power.

Well, my point is that Apple either has really great OEM prices for the hardware used or they're not marking up that much at all.

Only the CPU costs $2500 (2.4ghz) or $2750 (2.7ghz) 12-core XEONs. If you're trying to compare consumer i7 processors to this, you've completely missed your target.

How would you do that if the cheapest 12-core XEON CPU (2.4GHz) costs $2500 ($2750 for 2.7Ghz) http://goo.gl/F3Hi1P http://goo.gl/UIYIhI ? Also, a single AMD FirePro W9000 (matches specs with FirePro d900) goes for about $3400 http://goo.gl/v5dfNN .

i like this visualisation much better:

Yes, but in the same way Apple copied itself (iPhone4 -> iPhone4s.)

Lawyers, not accountants.

To be honest they are not ruining the Olympics, only the American viewers suffer.

I guess UNIX found you were a big disappointment too...
