Most if not all were being deliberately obnoxious rather than just voicing a genuine opinion.

If Kevin Bacon does anything dodgy, we're all fucked

What an absolute load of shite. Just because you are 'friends' with someone online does not mean you do exactly the same things. How many people have people on their Facebook friends list who they haven't actually seen for years? (fucking lots I'm guessing)

if you want to come up with game changing designs/products.

Apple have always been good at seeing how the market is moving and many times coming out with a product before the technology is good enough or the public were ready for it.

Jobs was also prepared to take the kind of risks most big companies aren't.

...and is unanimously hated around the world. Such a shame :o

I get the impression that may be the reason behind the broadband thing. If he brings free broadband to NZ he is going to gain a lot of public and political support there which will be beneficial to him when the big media companies come after him again.

SteamOS... the next logical step.

With all that 'advancement' in technology I would hope that we wouldn't all be relying on a card that could be lost or stolen.

What about voice pattern analysis or retinal scans?

Well done, you just invoked Godwin's law in one step.

When will people learn there are consequences to their actions.

He posted something highly offensive on the Facebook page dedicated to finding the little girl.

There was a strong possibility members of her family would see it and that it would upset them even more than they already are.

If nothing else comes of it than everyone learning what a complete twat he is then the police action is fine by me.

Oh, and good luck keeping/getting a job now.

Karma's a bitch ain't it?

I see an opening in the market for replacement back covers with a properly functioning lens cover !

that it must have been a jury made up of 12 Daily Mail readers.

The main ones I have found which only work with early versions are embedded web apps in things like telephone systems. We had a Mitel 3300 which just would not work with anything later than IE6. The developers in their wisdom wrote some browser detection into the pages that if you weren't using IE6 told you it needed IE6 or later then refused to display anything else.
