    "The intentional error"

    People who are in media are a business and they have this
    pattern of statement; they realize the error in the statement,
    and know all the possible responses.

    For example: Lets complain about the new addition to your
    household electricity system, the smartmeter. Lets make the
    complaint: "I expect a backstop for this product." or "I expect
    this product to improve and both versions worth the investment."

    (If you don't know "backstop" means replacing a product because
    of environmental improvement.)

    The company knows the responses, they are accepting criticism in
    this way:

    The initial consumer ranking game is "comfortable marriage"

    1) Who is your assigned male?
    2) Explain why he was employable?
    3) Does your memory indicate that your finances want to fit in?
    4) Are you changing the system?

    The purpose of ranking consumers though marriage-ability is the
    next obviously important "personal comfort". Personal comfort
    is obviously important to pricing, the economic lingo that is
    usually used in it's place is happiness or satisfaction. I
    really want to point out that the consumer ranks those
    qualities arbitrarily, it is your personal taste, style,
    attitude, your cool, that you fit in the same as years ago.

    Personal comfort is exactly why their are twenty times the number
    of raw resources that go into a car vs. a computer, yet the pricing
    is what the consumer will pay for comfort or satisfaction.

    So who's "personal comfort" changes the company, by setting
    consumer trends, changing prices, effecting shares changing the
    CEO. The people who at the same time claim approval of a respected
    male income.

    The fact that the person running the business changes but follows
    the same systematic conversation running the company, indicates
    their is simply a pattern to running a company, they change the
    company like most other consumers, they simply bring their
    "marriage comfort" hence "personal comfort" for the consumers
    preference, relating to the important consumers preemptively.

    So is my only response to media, "dad had a perfect death".

    Hey I control the interest rate. I did put the oil to $147, then $40,
    not $200 -it was a choice I made.

    It's a pity to see Undercover, probably the best theft-recovery application for the Mac and iPhone, being omitted from this article. They recovered my Mac last year, I highly recommend their products. Check them out at:

    Great article on recovering a lost or stolen phone. But how about some preventive measures too? I think every phone has a wrist-strap eyelet on it. What I do is I attach a lanyard to the phone (it can be a cord or a a strong elastic type bungy or flexible loop) and connect a carabiner to it and keep it clipped to my belt-loop at all times. I would have lost or damaged celphones dozens of times over otherwise. The lanyard also reminds us to return the phone to one's pocket when not in use, and not stupidly leave out on a table in plain sight. Women can clip the lanyard to their bags. This won't foil armed robbery of course, but guaranteed, a carabiner and a lanyard will stop damage and loss to a phone in the vast majority of cases. I've never lost a phone because of this, nor even so much as scratched one.
