Oh... I thought divorce rates increased when wives fell ill or when they got attacked with an ax. Which honestly feels like a good reason for divorce.

The problem is once you really experience and notice high quality it's hard to go back

I had this with earphones. Once I bought a better pair, going back to my old ones, it just sounded like cardboard. Don't invest in good audio equipment, even once. It will cost you for a lifetime!

You're the closest to the truth. It's actually a booster propeller for when the plane needs to go super sonic.

A lot of focus and money spent on renewables that could have been spent elsewhere, like on infrastructure or welfare. Wind and solar farms take up a lot of space that could be used for other things like nature. I'm not saying renewables are bad, but it's always a compromise on where to spend resources.

Does Google do that? Apple absolutely does it, but has Google ever done that?

I got a mail about that from my union recently... I think they had some talks about it.

My university mainly ran Solaris, pretty much everything also ran on Linux. In the rare case where Windows was required a remote desktop was available.

My university probably isn't your university though, so answers may not be worth much...

They probably didn't attend Wharton School of Business.

To me, a Linux user, Apple is more of a jail or a pusher. I don't want to use it because of lock in. Oh, you have an iPod? It's much better with a Mac. An iPhone? All your friends should also have it, and now we have this special app you can only use properly with other apple users.

No thanks.
