It's understandable you're so annoyed with all the buzz and news about iPhone. But surely you can do something about the situation. Why not contribute some news about what exciting stuff you do with your phone? If it's anything related to robotics/controlling your tech with your phone, I will be one to read it.
Obviously this article is aimed at people who either own iPhone (hence the 'your iPhone') or people who are generally interested in this topic. I don't own iPhone (and I'm not planning to buy one), but I find the idea interesting. If it's not for you, what can you do? ;-)

Regarding iPod docks I have to disagree (again, I don't own iPod either). You've got to understand that iPod is the probably the most popular mp3-player out there and with the special dock you can for example control the player remotely - something you cannot do if you only use standard mini-jack. Many people actually want that functionality, and that's not a very good reason to get pissed of. It's like getting pissed that most people listen to pop music and hence shops sell more pop instead of my preferred hard rock (I don't know if that's actually true, but I hope it gets the point across ;-)

At least they die happy.

It depends on what you are working on. In the projects where you are building only one, large machine, you only get to run some generic test desks while in the office, trying to make sure the things won't break when you put the code it into the real hardware. There are times when it is almost impossible to test the code completely for the particular type of machine, until you have actually built the real hardware and got it running. We often end up in the field with a laptop in our hands doing the final tweaks and calibrating the machine. Sometimes there are things that you simply cannot predict while writing the code sitting in the office.

Of course you can try to create a "perfect simulator" for the particular project, but often it's just more practical to go out in the field and do the final tweaking there.

Well, at least he provided a solution which works on Linux, while you provided none. If you would just do without - that's probably fine with you, though, most people use their computers just to get things done, and for them the solution that gives best results is often the best solution.

That's $2 only if you can find a web cam within the price range.

You can keep your Macbook awake after closing the lid. In fact, a little free app called InsomniaX makes it very easy.
I could see it fitting a clock with email notifier or something else handy.

Don't know about 25 years ago, but on my current MacBook I hardly ever quit any applications that I use commonly (Among those are Adobe Photoshop CS4, Safari, Pages, Mail, iTunes, Calendar, Terminal, Skype...).
This lowest end MacBook with 2GB RAM doesn't seem to have any trouble constantly running all thoss applications.

I am not sure about CS3, but in CS4 (at least in Photoshop) you can go to "Window" menu and check the "Application Frame" option. This will basically give you an application frame with solid background and documents in tabs - the Photoshop will behave just like the Windows version.

Well, you probably didn't know that Amazon MP3 store is not available for "The rest of the world".
Amazon MP3 store means nothing to people outside the USA (that's a bounch of people!).

I happen to live outside the USA and that's the reason why I am very excited about iTunes going DRM free.

There is whole bunch of reasons why would we want smaller transistor replacement. It's not just about "consumer computers".

Let me clear this up for you:
"Please note that Amazon MP3 is currently only available to US customers."
