North Korea has nukes. Iran is clearly trying to get them. How are they not a threat that would merit deterrent?

If you say it's ok for mobile carriers to restrict apps on cell phones, then you implicitly say it's ok for Comcast to dictate what you can have on your PC.

This is another reason why iOS and Apple's ridiculous idea that they can tell you what you can do with your property is a horrible precedent: it's my device, not yours.

I'm not sure how SSL protects you from a key logger.

This is so easy to defeat with a simple regular expression in your spam filter. I doubt spammers will continue with this tactic for long.

Simple logic was thrown out of the window by quantum physics. What makes you think the universe really does operate on a consistent set of physical laws? That's how Newtonian physics was thought to work too.

What exactly are your criticisms of what he's said? It makes sense to me (though I am no physicist).

All the ones that I'm sure he would have passed up anyway.

It's not as simple as them just trying to make more money. If they don't respond to the new and emerging threads from rivals, Google could eventually fail. This is part of the reason they extend into so many different areas such as Android. It's not just about making more profit; it's about ensuring long term survival.

This article is pure Android FUD, carriers have been stuffing phones with useless and unremovable crapware forever, regardless of the OS. Apple is the only phone manufacturer (at least of smart phones) that has managed to avoid this.

You are confused, this has nothing to do with Android. Carriers have been installing bloatware on phones for years, regardless of OS. Apple fortunately has managed to spare the iPhone. Calling this an "Android" problem is pure FUD.

Some of us actually don't mind. Apple's behavior is a big deal, and could have far reaching effects that affect everyone. If you don't like it, don't read it.

No, you posted your response because you're being ignorant. 4G is a big deal. It's the next big thing in cell phone technology. OF COURSE it's a big deal.

You're being elitist and ignorant, not Insightful.

You just happen to love Microsoft. Why do you hate freedom?

Thank you for your suggestions... But Flash on Activity makes it even more annoying, because now it's flashing all the time. There is no way to turn it off.

I don't want to turn my computer off, I want to put it to sleep. I don't want to have to close all my programs. I can't tell a difference between sleeping with the lid on or off, the light seems the same either way.
