  1. This is the dumbest shit ever. Example you have televisions, Panasonic, Sony Mitsubishi, LG Samson. One imagery is better than the other but the others life expected is less than the other Sony is better than LG because it has a longer life expectancy yet LG is better than Sony because itā€™s clarity of imagery is better than Sony. Another way, Ferraris are built by one guy with a team and he only builds 100 they run the same as a Honda. Well why canā€™t we sue them because theyā€™re cornering the market.

  2. Apple – let's look at this.

    Cool

    What about charging over $100 for an inhaler in America when in the UK I get one for free every month?
    Or the gun market in America – when a mass shooting occurs, instead of the country saying "maybe we should think twice about allowing the public to have these weapons" (like every other finger country), they say let's sell more guns.
    Stop attempting to poke at one issue when the world is moving so fast that 70 year old people are just beginning to understand what a tweet is (and that's the president no matter democratic or republican), maybe attack actual issues head on for the good of the many and not the people who just want more.
    Pathetic statement from a failed idea of society. Doomed.

  3. so heres the thing. obviously like half of the QQQ should be sued on antitrust laws. but then too much power would be concentrated in our government, and we would be like china. so in effect, these monopolies are actually making the US as a whole competitive

  4. Ok, now I see how they are doing so charging higher prices. Ok šŸ‘ truth yep thatā€™s what they do. And the restrict the amount of app that can be use or devices that were compatible or blue tooth files. Big problems and not to mention that they uses team viewer over the phone to invade your privacy. They 1st ask you if itā€™s ok for them to do so only during the conversation. Next they donā€™t ask you to end the team viewer app. Instead the continue to allow the program to run on your phone and tell the user that it has ended the team view app if the customer asked which leaves their privacy vulnerable.

  5. Soooo what about Disney, nbc universals/discovery, and time warner which pretty much control anything and everything you watch, listen too or read or what about google who pretty much controls and regulates all flow of information across the internet

  6. We need him to come to chicago and get rid of these damn 5cent stickers they got us paying $200 dollars for and then when you dont pay it on time they come by your house and write you 3 tickets in the same week for more than $200 than the ticket

  7. Samsung Galaxy Series is more powerful than it's iPhone counterpart at a fraction of the cost. Plus it's powered by Android which allows me to download and use 3rd party apps, including those not from the Google Play store.

    Samsung>Apple IMHO

  8. Apple effects more people than pharmaceutical companies. Whats this wish to go after pharmaceutical companies over Apple? Apple is a global problem. Many countries don't worry about massive drug prices because they are not Americans. Apple cheats the World. Much bigger scam oppresing more people.
    Those of you who somehow have to have the latest and bestest things are the weak minded victims that Apple has perfected brainwashing into giving all your money away to their company. Your the fools that make Apple what it is and you fall for the scam every one to two years by turning in your simply fine product for the next mininmalistic upgrade. The only difference in this new version is it will get updates where your 1 to 2 year old product (you haven't finished paying for) will get updates intentionally inadequate to seduce you to kissing Apple's butt again and again. Yet what do you care with your heads stuck in your Iphones and Ipads 24 hours a day out of touch with so much of the World right in front of your face? You wouldn't know anything going on within 5 feet of your face because your so dependent on that phone stuck in your hand.
    It is great someone has taken their face off their phone and is trying to save you suckers from wasting SO MUCH OF YOUR MONEY! Yah, your still gonna buy it because not much else goes in in your life outside of your Iphones and Ipads. Even I am commenting here wasting time of my life away for you to read my post coming from my NON-Apple device. I should be working on stuff in my home, not commenting here. Be glad somebody in the Government cares more about your finances than you do for yourself. Taking a bite of Apple and then throwing away the core is long overdue. One big bite at them to expose the flesh is all it needs. It takes very little time for a bitten apple to go bad soon. Someone justs gots to take that first bite.
