I find it surprising that 34% is an accurate number. After all, the word "3G" is on the screen pretty much 100% of the time.

There's likely a clock on your operating system 100% of the time. Do you always know the time, or do you have to check?

After all, many cannot change gear (or even lane) safely.

Change gear? Bah, most Americans haven't seen a manual transmission. Honestly, I think they should be mandatory for new drivers over here. They force you to pay attention to what you're doing.

Pretend, just for the sake of this discussion, that you lived in Germany. You take your children to a nice wholesome bookstore and start browsing the magazines. In plain sight, right next to all of the normal magazines, is a large array of porn. Stuff like that is standard fare in Germany, and other Euro countries. How would you handle that?

People in those countries simply emphasize that sex is not a big deal.

What good will that do them? They'll combine both of their sub-standard mobile OS's and somehow take down Google and Apple?

Hell, this is coming from a guy with a Blackberry. I wish it could happen; I wish RIM would snap themselves out of the iPhone-induced stupor they seem to be in. Sadly, I don't think they can do it.

Okay, Mr. Pedantic, Fireproof materials and kevlar vests are one thing. But when you state on your own website that users don't have to worry about infections, and then infections begin to crop up, you've sort of soiled the aluminum bed.

Interestingly, Apple's virus information page has gotten a little less bold over the years. It used to be more along the lines of: 'Viruses just don't exist. Don't worry about them.'
