IMHO the reason is obvious. The first few thousand users have very high IQ, so they would post interesting links and comments. After many more ppl joined the average IQ dropped sharply and so did the average quality of content.

FED and the other private banks are not stockpiling US dollars in their own accounts.

Generally to understand the history of any advanced civilization you have to follow the money. And since 1815 Rothschild have had enough capital and reputation amongst private investors to decide who rules in most countries, which country has the credit to start a war, which country/alliance has the money to win a war, etc
Plus who would wont some limited liability startup to redirect asteroids closer to Earth, probably using big thermonukes?
There were many other technologies that had the potential to change the global political system, like the Internet.
Switzerland referendum system would be my example of accountable government.
Private enterprises like the Rothschilds and Rockefellers have had more money than any nation on Earth for more than a century.
Lets move the discution to the definition of some word. Lets call everyone with a different opinion stupid. Lets put out your opinion and try to close the thread ...
Your post is still politically loaded. Israel attacks on Gaza are as 'controversial' as evolution, global warming and tobacco causing cancer.
I've heard a few such stories myself recently. About children in Serbia and west Bulgaria, born around the depleted plutonium bombing.
Generally the bee species is a genetic algorithms supercomputer that have worked for a very long time to find good solutions to the traveling salesman problem. I'd guess your suggestion, that we should not even try to find the results of that 100M years computation, is based on some personal feelings ;-)
So I'd prefer to sit next to you, Patrick ;-)
All kind of products that would've competed with Apple bundled apps, or could've been seen as illegal in some state, or had some erotic content ...
>>Do you know how unthinkable an app store model was 5 years ago?
Microsoft had a store 5 years ago. What does it have to do with Apple closing their platforms, to make higher profits, while stopping a lot of innovation?
>>Sure there are innovative things happening on android but would it even exist without iPhone?
Symbian, Windows CE and many more existed before the iPhone. As the price of hardware falls and mobile devices become more powerful/useful more and more users are getting smartphones. Android would've made perfect sense, w/o iPhone.
What's so uncool about AAPL is the closed platform, that killed so many innovations.
Who exactly do you think you are? The Rothschilds have decided to transfer some money around their properties. Have they asked for your advice? No? Then keep your mouth shut, sheeple ;-)
