" With Apples new iCloud it's never been easier to carry a backup iPhone! "
Has iOS5 really been that much of a battery killer? I didn't notice a different on my ipad, though I'd only been using it a few days prior to the update.

Some of us have concerns beyond our meat, sir.

My /windows is 22.8gb and has been going about nine months on this higher end gaming pc. Would be interesting to see how much lighter one could get a "barebones" install of 7.

You seem to be handling it.

I knew I should have just said a hojillion.

Sounds about as epic as 17500000000000000000 h2o molecules striking your face, in a raindrop.

Actually, if he's anything like me it could simply change how he communicates in English. It took some time to let the two sets of rules coexist in my brain, but even now I speak in a manner which is notably different from before. I suppose learning any other language makes you more aware of or changes the way you use your own native tongue.

This might be cheating, "but..."

Much like the rest of apples products its not the first, just the first (or one of) the first that doesnt suck.

I think his point was simply to show Microsoft could in theory screw Android. In reality I think Microsoft would come with less in this deal than Apple would. I don't know anyone who's second choice for a phone after Android was W7, heh.

Yeah well my uncles friends cousin worked for David Icke, Turns out Icke is really a monkey who went to space and returned with amazing powers of speech, now he wages a war against the reptilian power structure of the world in order to conquer it for his simian brothers. You can believe me, because my information is from such a highly placed source.

Does his neighbor read /.?

The vast majority of people don't care about much but dinner and the weeks TV line up, Susies recital and next weeks pay cheque. Does the fact that these people are not overly concerned about news in general make economic meltdowns and other recent events meaningless as well? Stallman is weird and sort of a jerk, most people are either stupid of largely uninterested in the bigger picture for one reason or another. These things have very little to do with one another.

Absolutely, I was just disagreeing with the notion that environmentalism has to mean a loss for the economy. Take for example recent breakthroughs in the sorting and recycling of plastics. (MBA Polymers is the company which comes to mind due to seeing a recent talk posted at TED.com by one of their head honchos.) This benefits our economy, allowing us to stretch the oil we do have farther.

Plenty of money to be made in renewable energy and lessening our environmental impact/stretching resources further. Finding a few years more harvestable oil is a good thing for our immediate future but isn't going to solve the problem long term.
More to the point it seems you're talking more about hippies than environmentalists. It's pretty safe to ignore the ones who've joined hands and begun swaying.
