It’s still a race to the bottom. If large corporations can play states off against one another, it is they who benefit and residents of the state in question lose the revenue that could be collected. e.g. A lot of the ‘jobs growth’ in Texas has been either very low paid or due to movement of people following the higher wage jobs. The earlier residents of Texas have not had much benefit from the increased employment, but the services and infrastructure they rely on is much further stretched.

Offering tax breaks to large corporations fits no definition of socialism I have ever seen.

It’s a perfectly cromulous word

The difference is that anyone playing GTA knows (I hope) that murdering police officers and running over civilians is wrong. Games like COD present a scenario in which going into other nations and murdering people is to be celebrated.

…but then the article describes a British-American car bombing that killed 60 civilians while missing its intended target, plus the drone strikes in Pakistan that are intended to kill civilians, and the assassinations of Iranian scientists. What in those examples is remotely dissimilar from terrorism?

It’s true that the nation Northern Ireland became part of the union in 1922, but prior to that the whole of Ireland was considered part of Britain.

Has anyone actually measured 9" from their face?

Well, I haven’t, I think Jenna Jameson probably has though :)

Sync or swim

It’s in Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

This article really needed to reference the iPod Touch rather than the iPhone I think. Parents who used to buy their kids a DS are now more likely to get them a Touch because as well as the games, they can also play music and videos and use the web. As a converged device it makes more sense I think to parents, without going to the expense of a data plan like a phone.

Oh, and for ‘fans’ of Nintendo, Nokia, RIM etc: reporting that these companies are losing money and looking for possible reasons for it is not bias, it’s good reporting. Apple, with its iOS devices, is reshaping the consumer electronics industry, why would you expect that technology websites would ignore this and be pollyannas in relation to your preferred product?
