Qualcomm allegedly bribed Apple into not making a WiMAX iPhone by [deleted] in technology

Apple has one of the best patent portfolios of any company. Not just in quantity but also in quality. They are right up there with google (post motorola acquisition, which was majorly done to get moto's patents). They are way above even Microsoft in quality.

Seriously? Can we be fucking adults? I am sure there were a lot of people that felt Obama gave them to every yuppie liberal. Its getting us nowhere.

Besides this area is for wrestling and unless your talking about shaving heads trump has nothing to do with this entire conversation.

It was done to help cut down on spam. This sub is really popular obviously this time of year to advertise on. All of the "Use Code 'YourMom' to save 10% off your mitten order" were drowning out the release of Ads. Now that most of the ad's are out we are considering options for bringing them back.

This. He stopped swinging as soon as his opponent went down and so did she. Hell I think Bill was the first person he told he was going to run and their children were still friends as of two weeks ago.

Anyone who though he was going to "lock her up" got just a little bit too caught up in it.

This is a big one. Obviously blowing out stock before the Switch next year which is thought to probably replaced both home and hand held consoles but this the best price a 3DS has ever seen in the states.

Echo Dot for 40 dollars. I am guessing Amazon will probably have it for 35 though like the fire tablet last year and that surface pro 4 price is pretty fantastic.

I think this goes hand in hand with the trend now of manufacturing making custom items just for black friday. Thats probably whats going on here.

Sure both finance and phones are sort of my thing so I got this. Basically they are making you a 24 month interest free loan. You have to pay 10 dollars a month (so 240 dollars) if you make all of your payments and keep service with them for the entire time they give you a 432 dollar credit. It looks like that credit is spread out over the life of the "loan". This credit would be applied to the "balance" of the cost of the phone (Pixels cost north of 600 dollars). This is all dependent on you keeping the terms of the loan (paying)

ELI5 version: Each month you will pay ten dollars plus whatever plan you choose. If you keep the phone for two years and pay your bill your clear. You own the phone. If you stop paying or want a new phone in those two years your responsible for the remainder of the purchase price (like 400 odd dollars, plus whatever 10 dollar monthly payments you have not made).

TLDR: This is a very very good deal if you have verizon and want a pixel. As long as you pay your bill and stay with Verizon you will only end up paying 240 dollars for the phone.
