I may be a bit off-topic here, but oh well. I've seen that being pointed out enough times that I feel I should say something.

> Without the amazing skills of Apple's marketing department, this pathetic joke of a store would fail horribly.

Marketing, when it comes to consumer electronics, will only take you so far. Apple's real "marketing department" is the same as Google's: their customers. Friends who tell their friends they loved the product, who then tell friends, and so on.

In a space where there's so much competition such as theirs, you can only achieve that with quality. Lies (or marketing) won't get you past the first impulse buyers.

ps: I don't agree with their decisions regarding app removals. Though I read the article and I seriously think we haven't been told the whole story.

A lot of what you just pointed out, in the eyes of law enforcement (the cronies for some corrupt politician), is nothing more than problems that get in the way of their certainty.

Also, for all the previous posts suggesting that politicians should then be forced to include their own DNA in the database: they might as well do. It won't change anything because that database, should we get to the point where it's being used to prosecute people, well, it will work against people who *actually* get prosecuted for something. And in general that doesn't happen to them.

Amazing how the same happened in Rome happens now, and my guess is it will have the same outcome. This mafia commanding the nation will ultimately destroy everything in their pursuit of power and money. And you know what, that's probably fine as far as they're concerned.

That's not what pretty much every ISP is advertising though. I still see the word "unlimited" everywhere I look at an ad.

I take Bell Canada will have to be clear about what they're selling in this case. If they do, no problems at all.

Just understand that the grudge most people have (myself included) has a lot to do with the recent wave of ISPs doing "traffic management" despite having been left under the impression they were getting what they're seeing on the ad.

Except he's a public official. I for one very much doubt he did this in his own time, or with his own money.

The blogger committed no crime, as from TFA. So what gives?

Hate to state the obvious, but that strikes me as a personal vendetta being pursued while the fine representative should be more concerned with matters of public interest.

And in that case they wouldn't be scamming people into believing they're getting what was advertised.

Oh wait, that's what this is about isn't it. It's about a bunch of ISPs trying to get away with not doing their jobs. It's about a few telcos ripping off your country with subsidized infrastructure that never happened.

So whatever. While the talk in the west is "how we'll start throttling/capping/just generally cutting down on bandwidth", in places like Asia, they're going the other way. Guess we'll see pretty soon the outcome of all that won't we.
