lol it's funny how upset you are about all these.

Maps != search

Google doesn't have a monopoly on quality data when it comes to search.

"Why It Is Impossible For (Most) Entrepreneurs To Have Girlfriends"

uh..because they're geeks?

I wasn't just talking about Siri.

Apple can customize the UI and the search results on iOS devices if they want. Apple can take Google's search results (without Google's ads) or Bing/Yahoo, format it, add information from Yelp, Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, WolframAlpha, etc. Make this format the default "search results" and make it universally accessible from Siri, the browser, apps, and so on...

I wasn't just talking about Siri.

Siri, an app, a customized search box, etc. Apple changes the UI, Google's fucked. What is it you don't understand?

You are so missing the point it's hilarious.

I'll post a few articles and I'll let you figure things out.

You're right. Google's going to be first to market by releasing crappy, half-baked beta products and Apple's going to "copy" them.

Google's going to manufacture smart watches and consoles?

Another wannabe-knee-jerk-lets-copy-Apple product from Google. Why am I not surprised.

glasses = nerdy

sunglasses = cool

google glasses = dorky

99% of what Google glass can do I can do on my smartphone WITHOUT THE HASSLE and WITHOUT making me look like a dork.

headsets don't cover your face. big difference.

my phone also won't make me look like a dork. seriously, this is Google's number one hurdle to getting people to use this.

"Welcome Pandora, welcome to the machine. What did you dream? It's alright we told you what to dream. So welcome to the machine."

That's because the Canadian government employs 3.6 Million government employees out of 17 Million of your total labor force. WOW! talk about big government! That's almost 25% of your total labor force!

% of gov't employees in the US is only 15% of our labor force. Considering the size of our country, military, etc. that figure is small compared to Canada's labor force-gov't employee ratio.

NICE TRY ;)

I get it that you're proud of your universal healthcare system. I honestly wish we have one but the issue is COST. if you can think of a way to implement universal healthcare without bankrupting our country i want to hear it.

Elon Musk reminds me of Preston Tucker. Lots of similarities between Tesla Motors and Tucker Corp.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preston_Tucker

Yeah that's because we're not a bunch of socialists. :)

You HAVE to provide universal health care because there are NO jobs in your pathetic country.

>In other words, 62% of your revenue goes back to the taxpayers that provided that revenue.

Except that the middle class, rich and younger people are paying for majority of the taxes that are spent for entitlements. And you're asking them to pay for another unfunded mandate. Your socialist views have no place in America.

Australia have universal healthcare but your taxes are sky high, zero innovation, zero growth, no jobs, etc. horay for socialism. Give me one innovation that came out of australia? ZERO. (ok i love ac/dc but they dont count) :)

> The big problem is that Obamacare is nothing like a universal system or even the Canadian system, and it does not address the colossal spending costs.

Exactly

>It's simply a question of where you want your government to spend the tax dollars it collects. Currently, they spend it blowing things up while tens of millions of it's citizens are without basic healthcare.

62% of the US federal budget goes to entitlements (Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security). That's ONLY $2 Trillion. 18.7% goes to the defense spending. [1]

Implementing Obamacare will cost $4-$6 Trillion. WHERE DO YOU SUGGEST WE GET $4-6 TRILLION? Even if you cut 100% of the defense budget it won't be not enough to pay for Obamacare.

It DOES not "work in every other developed nation on the planet"

spain, greece, germany, france, cyprus and 99% of all socialist countries have declining economies, high unemployment rate, high taxes, ZERO innovation, etc. Hey but they have free health care! horay for socialism!

>Yes, America has a large population, but that means it also has a very large number of taxpayers, therefore an enormous budget.

I don't blame you if you think this way. You're canadian. You don't know wtf you're talking about. ;)

1. Not everyone in the US has a job. More than 23 million Americans are unemployed/underemployed.[1] And are therefore paying very little/not paying taxes. A large population means a large pool of tax payers, and an even larger pool of non-tax payers.

2. Income inequality. The middle-class/rich are paying more taxes."CNN: The rich pay majority of U.S. income taxes"[2] The top 10% earners of this country already pays more than 70% of all the income taxes.

3. Entitlements are already killing the US economy. 62% of the federal budget goes to entitlement.[3] Where are you going to get the $4-$6 trillion to pay for Obamacare??? OH RIGHT, 4 straight years of trillion dollar deficit under Obama. The government is already borrowing money to pay for existing entitlements![4]OR tax wealthy people! (those earning more than $250K under Obama's plan).

you are laughably uninformed about the issues regarding entitlements in America.

Socialized health care might work in Canada (pop. 34.48 million) or Australia (pop. 22.32 million), but it will never work in the US (pop. 313.9 million). It's way too expensive. US federal spending for both Medicare/Medicaid is already 23% (Social Security is 22%) of the federal budget in 2012. You want to add another unfunded entitlement program that will cost tax payers $4-$6 trillion?

Here's a little fun fact: Canada and Australia's GDP COMBINED won't be enough to pay for Obamacare.

> Perhaps maybe there are the same number of Android phones and iPhone (and Blackberry, etc), but the iPhone users tweet 50x more - does this map take it into account? We don't know either way. What phone are they using? Maybe a lot of people in Washington are using Samsung S3s, which aren't cheap Android phones.
