My first computer had that button. I never could actually figure out what it did. Of course that never stopped me from randomly pressing it hoping something awesome would happen.

You are right, your analogy makes perfect sense.

Since the ISP is not selling internet access but just access to usernet which allows their end users can pirate content. They should absolutely be held liable for something they have no control over.

I'm using it with Opera and haven't noticed anything not work, but I don't really use it much.

Facebook is terrible for being compatible with Opera though.

I'm surprised they haven't already honestly.
I'm also surprised that none of the big manufacturers did.

Patent wars are getting ridiculous.

I disagree.
This is the first I've seen =/= and I've always used !=.

I vote for this or Apptorium.

From what I've read the Xbox Live outage didn't happen for everyone.

It doesn't matter though, this is a completely different issue because of the security concerns. There no point in comparing the 2 services...

Yeah, but as the article says, this may help get businesses to move on to IPv6 quicker.

While initially I thought this was a good idea, there are some serious issues which others have pointed out.
Also, the summary says you can get the pirated one from an "unofficial Android app markets", which leads me to wonder, are people actually aware that they are pirating the software or would your average user just think that this is a free app?

(I don't actually know anything about Androids App markets)

Exactly this.

I'm not saying companies should be able to sell used items as new, but 1/2 price for an item that was returned because a customer didn't like the colour is a bit retarded.
You want to be able to return an item for full price but not let them sell it at that same price again? Seriously?

They usually are (especially if they have the sticker seals with logos, etc on them), but you also have to remember that a lot of the employees working at these stores don't give a shit and are only getting paid minimum wage. Not to mention a seriously lack of communication between those doing the returns and those who are doing the restore on the system.

I'm not saying it's right, if it was a returned system the customer should have been informed, the employee's should have restore the system and so forth, but shit like this does happen.

Mind you, the summary says "computer fair" which screams scam to me, so honestly, I'm not surprised by this.

you are free to say whatever you'd like about them. but do you really expect them to keep you if they find out?

if i worked for you and was going on and on about how you are a shitty person, the company you run is terrible and i hate my co-workers, do I really expect you to keep me around?

basically, this: http://thenextweb.com/2009/08/09/note-friend-boss-fb-bitch-job/

It's usually a healthy mix of both.

Not to provoke further, but an I don't consider an iPad a 'real computer'. It's running the same OS as an iPhone.
I also wouldn't consider a tablet running Windows Mobile xx (or Windows Mobile CE) a real computer anymore than my phone (which is not a real computer).

If they are taxing iPads, they better be taxing Windows Mobile devices, along with Android devices. If they aren't taxing Windows 7 (XP/Vista) devices, then they shouldn't be taxing systems running Mac OSX or systems with whatever the Google operating system is called nor anything sold with Unix/Linux on it.

The tax is stupid, but as long as it follows the same rules across all platforms then people should be upset about that, not comparing iOS to Windows 7...

Of course, the linked article doesn't actually give versions of windows this applies to, which is an important point.So I assume this is just to start a flame war because someone said their iPad is not a real computer...

My question is how many of those 100 million accounts post more than 1 message before they become forgotten. How many last more than a week....
