God people....who cares? Sometimes Windows and Linux can be shitty, sometimes they can be great. As a daily user of both OS's, I say that problems occur in both OS's at about the same frequency, and are usually something trivial.

Pedantic much? 20 meters is about 65.6 feet. Someone dropped the decimal instead of rounding. Big deal.

What's the point of taking photos of booms anyway? Convince me that this is important.

Where in the video does he hold the older iPhone? That video only shows him holding the iPhone 4.

Most phones lose some reception if you place your hand over the antenna. If you were in a weak signal area, you'd drop the call.

If anyone lost data, that's their problem, not Dell's. A blown out capacitor on the motherboard doesn't hurt the HD.

God, I hate people who over use the word "straw man", especially when I didn't make an argument to begin with.

I asked a question, you didn't answer it.

It's about as different as night is from day...so if you don't understand, I'm afraid I can't help you.

Buying something doesn't mean that the company must bend over backwards to make it work exactly how you think it should, especially when they have a return policy. If you don't like their product, return it and get something else.

"Any kind of IT product should be able to communicate with any type of service in the future."

What does that even mean?

If only there was a way that you could listen to a song before buying it, or read someone else's opinion about a movie before watching it. And if only there were free sources of music and movies to watch...

Probably something about how every time an alternative has been tried it has ended terribly with large losses of life and shitty living conditions for those who linger on.

It's their goddamn product. They can do whatever they want with it. There is ZERO reason why you must have a copy of Avatar or Eminim's CD. If you don't like how they're selling it, don't buy it. Buy something from someone else that does things how you like.
