The whole OS. It's not a skimpy Android or Apple mobile OS. That's not an improvement? It's the main reason they're releasing it. Your ignorance is showing.

Apple products are over priced and over simplified so gramma can use it first try. I'm sure there will still be a way to get under the hood, but giving ALL users the benefit of the doubt has been part of Microsoft's downfall in the past. If you assume everyone knows how a computer works, the masses cry "it isn't intuitive!"

That's one reason the upgrade will only be about $40.

Advertisers, partners, customers, they will all take note of this decision and either judge it a trend (which makes it very powerful), or condemn it, which also has repercussions. They're saying we want to do business with people that think progressively, like us. If you disagree, feel free to take your business elsewhere.

It's non lethal in ANY dose, doesn't promote violent or criminal tendencies, isn't addictive, etc. There shouldn't even be a concept of medical marijuana, it should just be sold at stores to people 18 and above. This is a core fundamental of freedom. Being able to make decisions for ourselves.

The only crime you're likely to commit when smoking weed is smoking weed (if it's illegal). Less likely to hold a job? I suppose that one could be debated, but there isn't really a conclusive way to prove that.

It's more like traditional chinese "medicine" or the homeopathic stuff we have here.

I'm liberal and I'd love it if they let me do away with this piece of dirt. I'd do it for no charge and it would hurt.

Absence of belief. Not belief of absence. It's a major distinction that you "conveniently" ignore, or aren't smart enough to understand. Also, that which can be asserted without evidence (that God exists) can also be dismissed without evidence. The burden of proof is on YOU, the person claiming that X exists, with zero evidence. There is no proof that ANYTHING does not exist. I'm not scared of hell, just like I'm not scared of any punishment a muslim says I'm subject to upon death. I'm scared of nothing that any religion tells me to fear. It's all a bunch of hogwash invented by humans in order to gain power through fear and manipulation anyway. It's worked great on you, obviously. No one is in my head, I'm scared of no mystical fairies. It's true freedom, something you'll never experience. Good luck trying to make America a Christian flavor of the middle east. An un-free country. It won't work though, and your generation of coots will die off soon. You'll be forgotten and not missed.

No she shouldn't have aborted, she should have practiced the abstinence before marriage that she's preaching to everyone else (that apparently doesn't apply to her). P.S. Not everyone believes in god (for good reason, you know, lack of any evidence whatsoever). But if YOU believe that gay marriage is wrong, that doesn't mean you outlaw it for everyone. It means YOU can't have a gay marriage. Put it this way, if your religion says (for example) that you can't watch Dr. Who on Sunday, it means YOU can't watch Dr. Who on Sunday. I can watch all the Dr. Who I damn well please. If your religion is against gay marriage, that doesn't mean you outlaw it for everyone. It means YOU can't marry someone of the same gender. You support freedom don't you, smart person? Or should we all live under religious rule like in Saudi Arabia? That's working out so well for them. I'll let the rat in your head get cranking on his little rusty wheel while you process that. That's assuming the rat isn't dead, you might want to check on that.
