Yes, better design, of course. Except Motorola Xoom is better than iPad.

In almost every way:

1) Hardware design - much more powerful, and that wide-screen!!! (aargh ugly ipad)
2) Product look - just nice, not as thin as ipad, but really better. Except that SD-card.
3) Software design - I don't know it just seems so much better and flexible than ios or wthever it was. Thanks Google.
4) Customer support design - So much promises about software update in Europe and I'm still calm. Joking here.

So I really don't see the basis for Apple actions. And I'm sure this all could be said about Galaxy Tab 2 too.
Oh, I own Xoom.

Like Linksys evercrashing routers.

wtf? Separate wtf for every paragraph (and even every sentence) you wrote. WTF??? -- your 02c is pretty cheap then

you mean third-world?

Oh, it's not efficient, not by long shot. But it's capable of providing somewhat decent healthcare to those who had nothing previously.

Rationalizing and The Truth are two completely different beasts.

While democracy should trump all, is it wise to hold majority opinion so high that it slows down progress?
I'm pretty sure going the nuclear way is actually not the progress. It was regression 50 years ago, it still is.

new notifications feature??? a blatant ripoff of what has existed on android for some time.

I would prefer strawberry itself. Simple as that.

Are you kidding?

Now you forget he could've been just run over by schoolbus on the way home. What then?

Look at the bright side of this. Now I know this site (with the very interesting content it has) exists! Thank you MPA of UK.

The problem is not about mobilizing enough people to elect a government. The problem is that the government after the election will be (about) the same it was before. Choice to elect somebody new (with new and sincere agenda) is pretty much nonexistent. And even if somebody "new" comes in, he/she/it will be corrupted before you can blink your eyes even one time. You know, power just ruins people. And it's easier to walk the path somebody (everybody) has walked before. Conclusion - democracy is just a joke. It's no better than other forms of governing. Enlightened dictator would almost certainly be better than the "entertainment" democracy we tend to have nowadays.

You think so?
