Guess what I'm not (and cannot be) doing while moderating a story?
I HATE this Apple fanboyism. Not because Apple is succesful, but because it's (at least in my mind) absolutely ungrounded stupidity and followism.
PS: Maybe it's a personal problem of mine that I want to correct every single thing and this is just really pointless maybe, by I can't stand it.

Now, how does one objectively "fathom", when one is engaged in the very thing one needs to judge? Earth to you; you can't.

Originally posted by deanjo View PostWell that is simply not the case, many models are manufactured in China and Mexico at the Foxconn factories for nokia (and other countries as well) for countries that are not local.

Absolutely I can. I can even fathom it, but I can't "fanthom" it.
Fathom means measure, phantom means ghost, or to mentally image something.
Apparently it is you that has a hard time understanding what moderation is and what bias is.

And stop comparing him to Bill Gates or his actions, he's not even in the Top 100 wealthiest men. But, hey, if he keeps shares in the industries he helped create or shaped (Pixar-Disney, Apple) he's a demon! And if I highlight this, then decency goes out the window - because Free Software and GPL... well, something.

Originally posted by V!NCENT View PostNo shit, Sherlock, but only as close to the geographical supply chain as possible. That means no China to Europe. And if something from China ends up in Europe; it's not Nokia endorsed and will be rejected for warranty.
I'll refrase that, for you autism:
Can you fanthom made locally?
You are a moderator, engaging in something you're suppose to moderate and therefore biased. Is this realy so hard to understand?
Moderate
chair, judge, make peace, negotiate, preside, referee, take the chair, umpire
Bias
Bias is an inclination to present or hold a partial perspective at the expense of (possibly equally valid) alternatives

Originally posted by deanjo View PostAgain wrong, the those products made in China are shipped internationally, they are not only for China.
I can spell locally, apparently you can't.
Can you phantom made locally?
I am correcting false statements with facts. That's not bias. That is setting the record straight.Last edited by V!NCENT; 15 October 2011, 01:44 PM.
