| The journalist who wrote that article, he wondered whether Japan would comply with this ICJ ban on whaling, during the next whaling season. They've called off the 2014-15 hunt, but apparently are looking at ways around the ban as well. What is strange is that apparently consumption of whale meat ha... |

| No, but as much through ignorance as anything else. Though I was given an absurd amount of high end stuff by people on my friend's list while playing the XB360 version of Terraria. The game actually got so boring I stopped playing. Not sure if that was the game itself, or if being completely OP rela... |

| I know this is not the first time such a question has been asked, but in light of recent and increasing scientific evidence that autism is biologically based, I ask you: if a medication or combination of medication (treatment/therapy) was discovered that alleviated or eliminated the core symptoms o... |

The first thing I thought to myself was "Hey! That graph isn't being adjusted for inflation!," not that the whole premise behind the graph was absolute nonsense.
Good one, and I walked right into it. Guess I'm just wired that way.  |

| And the article you link to uses a figure "for the world's most utilized operating system between mobile phones and tablets ." If we're talking phones only, I'm pretty sure Android is now comfortably number one world-wide and might even be the most popular phone type in the US which, if so, would be... |

I don't think a price cut for either is in the cards, at least any time soon. Both are sold at what is very close to their manufacture cost, if what I've read... |
