Big blue is a nickname for IBM, but i think you're referring to Intel

1. Pedantic. You're arguing that false advertising isn't illegal. But it is.
2. As the other poster said, perpetuity isn't what was advertised, lifetime is what was advertised. Lifetime is a common term used in legal claims. It can refer to lifetime of the person, or lifetime of the device a service is used on, or other things, but it is a specific and enforceable term.
3. See number 1.

1. Marketing promises ARE a contract. Companies aren't allowed to advertise a thing and then not do that thing. That's false advertising and fraud. Companies aren't allowed to say they offer a product or service for price X and then actually charge price Y. This is well established law.
2. You either didn't read or didn't understand the article. Multiple times in multiple ways the company said it's offering a lifetime price, which is different than a price offered only for a limited term. They very explicitly said “T-Mobile will never change the price you pay” and "T-Mobile One customers keep their price until THEY decide to change it. T-Mobile will never change the price you pay" etc. etc.

I looked up what a remittance coupon is - it's just the detachable filing form that comes with a paper bill.

That's why i said advanced language. Lots of animals have language. Crows have language

But did it even in this case?

Why doesn't any testing get done before updates are pushed out? I'm not talking about extensive testing, I'm talking about like just making sure it doesn't cause major problems?

The answer is probably language. Before advanced language was developed, there wasn't a good way to pass along any knowledge that was gained by an individual.

iirc this has been known for a while. We had sex with them so much that they stopped existing as a separate species.

I think that's the difference between UK law and US law

The comments on this page might have some info

The 35% of men who didn't do it had previous experiences with electric shocks from fences or electronics

View includes being able to see the sky. These permanently block some of the view of the sky.

Since the video's point is that awnings are too unattractive for people to use them, then hot damn is that so much worse. Solid metal gates - for when you want your house to look like a convenience store in a bad neighborhood when riots are about to start.

Boy, in 1994 this would've been huge!

While that may be true, it doesn't make people want them any more than they currently do. People want to have their full window view available whenever they want it. This means it needs to be retractable and extendable at the push of a button. And once you have that, it's easy and helpful for it to also be automated

Make them better looking and push-button retractable from inside, and people will want them.

EDIT

At 16:40 he suggests high tech awnings that automatically unfurl and retract to provide the ideal amount of shade on each day of the year. Seems like a nearly perfect solution to me

Haha i have some very funny news to tell you! The lyric is actually "tenth avenue FREEZE OUT"

In some cases yes, but in some the misheard lyrics are actual better

Oh snap that's so geeky cool!
