"How To Put Off Employment And Repayment of Student Loans For Two Years (Or More!)"

I imagine that's pretty close. BTW, are you telling me you're attending grad school at this very moment?

Fucking lying sack of fail.

I am not quite sure why you are so hung up on student loans. You admitted that you gathered up nearly $25k in student loans for an art degree that you never finished.

Grad school is leverage.

Me? Grad school. What do you think I am studying in grad school -- art? LOL!

Sorry, no, Lickspittle. Every job I have had for the past 5 years has been a step up over the last one.

How about you?

A step? You must measure those steps in pennies.

Sometimes. How about you?

Link or STFU, Tardio. Never been fired. Nope, not once.

You - never had a job that paid over $6.50/hr.

Your jobs lasted less than a year.

Fired.

Janitor? Fired.

Why lie?

I've never been fired from a job, Boomtown. You've never had a job. It's a mystery.

Oh, bullshit. You were fired from the gift shop. You were fired when you were a janitor at the museum. You were fired when you worked at Ft. Humboldt. You were fired from Sutter's Fort.

FIRED

Go for it, unemployed fruit.

Your boyfriend might answer the phone, though.

That's a good gig for the area, probably unionized with lots of bennies.

Maybe James isn't a loser after all.

He'll get himself fired. That's the one thing he has never failed to do.

Sean should call me at work, like his boyfriend ARSE did.

Go ahead, Sean; do it or be a fucking little coward forever.

Nothing wrong with asking your supervisor if a "James Marks" showed up for work today.

"sorry, he'll be in tomorrow. He called in sick again."

Go for it, unemployed fruit.

The one who got convicted of Failure to Provide?

It is unlikely that their stock price will crash. It will go down, sure. But crash? Hardly.

There is no evidence that you are working. It is very likely that you received a small inheritance from pops Marks and are living off of that.

All of your previous jobs were like $8 an hour bozo jobs. There is no way someone hired you full time with real responsibility. Hell, you are probably working at that airport in McKinleyVille throwing baggage around.

So both of you are unemployed losers?

I don't pay for brands, I pay for performance. I don't find Apple products to be superior in any way to their competitors.

I don't give a shit what you pay for.

You asked a question and I answered it. All a company gives a shit about is what people in general are willing to pay for.

Apple products are superior primarily because of the utility that people derive from them. In the case of the Itouch, Ipad, etc, if you want to extend its functionality, you simply download another app. Programmers, some of whom are like 12 years old, are creating apps faster than people can download the fucking things.

THAT fact alone means that Apple will hold most of the market share at least for another year or two. And by then they'll come up with a better product while every else lags behind. And they'll lag behind because at $100 their margins will be pathetic.

We'll see, Mr. Economist. I think you will be proven wrong, and Apple's stock will crash faster than your student loan repayments.

Doesn't really matter what you say. Without a job, you can't purchase anything anyway.

So the non-Apple products will sell more, as they are more attractive to the 80% of the population who are not MacFags.

Thanks for clearing that up.

It is unlikely that they will sell more. They will sell, sure, but what is the margin for each product sold? Apple can plunge large amounts of resources into app development, hardware R&D, and will always be way ahead of the competition. They also have tons and tons of cool apps to run.

A $100 tablet PC is a piece of shit that at best might be used as a book reader, assuming it even comes with one.

Apple's products are inelastic regarding price and substitution in comparison to other products in the same category. This means that customers are more insensitive to increases in the price of Apple's products. They are less likely to switch to a substitute in the case of a price being higher relative to the average. In short, at $500, people will still purchase Apple IPADS in large quantities even if comparable products are on the market for $100 or less. Other variables include availability of applications versus competitors, perception of quality in comparison to competitors, etc.

"Tablets priced at about $100 will be unveiled at Computex in Taiwan, which begins Monday – the first major trade show since the release of the iPad in April.

Such low-cost tablets are part of a trend in the PC industry as component costs fall, with laptops and netbooks attracting low-cost competitors from relatively tiny companies across Asia.

Small Asian manufacturers such as Eken, G-Link, Bluesky and Kinstone will all be unveiling their iPad-lite models from Monday.

Meanwhile, a $75 tablet is expected next year from manufacturers supporting the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) initiative to provide computers for disadvantaged schoolchildren, while consumers in some countries will be able to take advantage of free tablets from telecoms and TV providers in exchange for subscription contracts."

You have no clue about what elasticity of demand is, do you?

Idiot.
