    Haha. Already got the glasses (had them since 8, though short sighted so should stay that way).

    When I'm an old fart I'll have a chip in my head which reads my thoughts and can use that to text, google maps etc. Either that or I'll be in a cave after the nuclear war Trumps about to start with Kim Jong sends us back to the stone age.

    At least you'll have a chip in the head rather than the shoulder...

    not sure I'd like that, never being able to have my thoughts to myself, 'cause I reckon they'd want to read my mind... which could be a bloody boring read...

    As for the other...

    anyway, the point of that awesome story was that some cunt has dev'd left and right single-handed /single-thumbed keyboards for some touchscreen devices. cant remember which phones/os/app. probably in dvorak.

    Autech, try Parallel Imported.
    Another option is Digi Imports. Got my last phone from them.

    Fat chance. iFelches are for those who wish to be seen posing and who also want to support a criminal company that makes the Mafia look sloppy at tax evasion.

    It's human nature I guess, but it is uncomfortable. It's worse when I'm with my bike, complete strangers approach me, even to the point of sitting down at my table when I'm out having lunch etc.

    Qwerty is fine in portrait mode for me, landscape it's fucking useless. I don't know anyone who types in landscape on their ph, it just looks awkward.

    Expert Infotech (einfo.co.nz) is another on the shore. At least they have a branch, can contact them etc.

    Leaving aside the criminal component 'cause I don't know what you are referring to; the tax evasion thing is not all it appears. The NZ media love to misreport that because it gives them a story. A crap story but a story. If you do business in mutiple countries it's not normal pay full tax in every country. You pay tax on your earnings at home and probably a withholding tax in any other countries.

    Exporters will know the full story but the papers don't, and nor do some politicians.

    iPhones are pretty universal now, even Govt Departments hand them out to staff. They probably pay a very different price to what we would pay though.

    and in case anyone wondered how much of an iPhone RRP is marketing and software licensing...

    it costs about $200 in materials, and time, labour, shipping etc, to get it to the shop you bought it at.

    just sayin'

    Yup. My compter-fixer mate laughs each time he enters a certain supplier.
    Recons that he is greeted and his feet kissed by the manager each and every time he is there. "Can you give me a price for 25 ipads and 50 iphones please?" and watches the salesman's eyes bulge out...

    So, I guess that means the jew-gold company uses its jew-gold phones to check how much jew-golds are in their account. A jew-gold account, obviously.

    I've never seen a shorter life in a device than when you deploy them to staff. Easy come... easy go. Car doors and broken screens from drops
