Comment Easy Tradeoff (Score 1) 94

Not long ago an article was posted basically congratulating such spam filters for making spamming basically unprofitable now. I don't have an account with Yahoo but if I did I would take targeted advertising over mass amounts of random spam any day.

Comment Re:Fatal flaw (Score 1) 197

Obviously? Saying something doesn't access email != saying something doesn't access Blackberry email accounts. Which by the way can be accessed by 3rd party apps. I have no problems with Bridge and use it for BBM all the time. 10x larger app and content ecosystem? Only iPad has more tablet specific apps. You're a prime example of the ignorance prevalent in the mobile industry right now. I had a choice between an iPad (about 10 of my co-workers have them), and a PlayBook. After fooling around with the iPad I choose the PlayBook and whether you want to believe it or not 3 guys in my department wanted to trade in their iPads for a PlayBook. Mind you they got turned down and now have to keep the iPads.

I got a Playbook from work on day 1. And on day 1 it had the ability to log into my gmail account using mobile gmail and it looked good and worked good. My work email could also be accessed through webmail. Not sure where you're getting this "The RIM tablet version 1.0 was unable to access email without tethering". But it's 100% false. If you're talking about BlackBerry Bridge, that allows you to connect to your BlackBerry device and interface with it in certain ways. One of which is the ability to view/create/delete etc. email thats on a BlackBerry.

Comment Reduces drunk drivers on the road? (Score 2) 228

"because they reduce the number of drunk drivers". Really? Where's the proof of this? And it better not be stats from DUI arrests at the checkpoints because well....you're telling them where you are, they go a different way. Not that I agree or disagree with Apple's decision but if you're gonna make such a "bold" statement you better be able to back it up Nicky G.

Comment Re:Frist to get jailbroken... (Score 2) 312

I'd disagree, the article is claiming iOS is the most secure because of the gated app store. If the device can be jailbroken then the gated app store point is moot. Now any app from nearly anywhere can be installed and ran, so the main point of the article is shot. Therefore I'd say the ability to jailbreak the device has everything to do with security in this context.
