No, it is a verifiable fact. **40%** of people incarcerated in the US are African American even though they make up...

That is completely...

That's assuming the patents should have even been issued in the first place. Way too many patents are for things that have prior art that should negate the patent application, but patent examiners...

You can re-brand, but you have to still list the true country of origin when you sell in the US. Selling a Chinese designed and manufactured lens as "Made in Germany" for 4X the price is fraud.

justshootyou is specifically pointing DPReview's inconsistency. It regularly posts press releases for dodgy zombie brands like Kodak and Polaroid without any meaningful commentary...

Not really a good analogy,"

We really don't need to go any further than the fact that **B&H consider themselves closed** sufficiently to satisfy g*d's scrutiny. If that isn't closed...

I've generally had good experiences with B&H back to the days when you ordered by phone, based on prices advertised in magazine adds. B&H was the place you ordered from when you were willing to pay...

They're actually not closing their online store, just the checkout."

Yeah, that's closing their online store. When my local camera store is closed on Sunday, I can still see...

"You never see your security deposit, even if the guests trash your place and kick down your front door (yes that happened)."

Some rental houses won't let you rent if you can't.

Unfortunately, this BS is not unique to KitSplit. Neither KitSplit nor ShareGrid will make a photographer whole if a renter fails to return the gear.

"As an owner, this is where your own insurance...

"“Unique” is both absolute and binary in meaning; something is either unique or it isn’t, nor can it be more or less unique compared with anything else."

Unique means one of a kind, but the...

Nope, your claim that "products are “non-existent” by definition" is nonsense. **Some** products on kickstarter have yet to be developed beyond the prototype stage, but others are in various stages...

"First, the products are “non-existent” by definition because KS is a site for creators to seek funding to finish development of products in the works. If it’s still under development, it doesn’t...

"Nobody 'paid for a product'. They made a voluntary donation in hopes of being rewarded,"

Yes, that is the thin fiction of crowd funding sites. From a buyer's perspetive, though, they preordered a...

We still have much of that. The valuations of AirBnB and Uber are insane.

Yes, this is another classic instance of DP Review credulously forwarding a press release as a news article, lacking even the most rudimentary of details an actual reporter would include.

That doesn't excuse or explain why the author didn't do the most basic of checks to see who the vendor behind the licensed name was. DPReview routinely credulously passes on or repackages zombie...

"Kodak says to allow up to five to six weeks for everything to be digitized."
