So it would only be valid news if it put Apple in a negative light then? Or are we not allowed to hear about Apple at all?

There are less conspiracies going on in the world than you think.

Granted, not all of these are of the highest quality, but it may jog your memory of a few projects which are used in high demand environments everyday.

Then Guy B goes out of business for not taking enough interest in the product he sells and being a non-value adding price hiking middle-man.

If you are paying $15 a cup for coffee then presumably you have super awesome taste buds. So why do you need chemically analyse your coffee to tell if it's the real deal? You're coffee is either worth $15 or it isn't based on what it tastes like.

What a pointless bit of research. Have we now solved so many of the world's important problems that the top of the list is now "make sure hipsters are drinking genuine cat's bum coffee."

The hotel is clearly stupid and they will also lose this battle. But why did the customer refuse to move to another hotel? They chose to stay in a bed which they knew had bed bugs? And suggested that the hotel manager get down on her knees and beg him not to tell anyone? Sounds like a serial victim on a power trip to me. Can't wait for something bad to happen to them so they can become the outraged centre of attention.

I know I'm going to go down in flames for this, but I wish they would do this on slashdot. The asshole factor here is higher than ever now. 99% of AC posts are just complete bollocks. If you *really* feel the need to keep your identity secret then just go an get a new profile. If you can't be bothered to do that then perhaps your comments are worth sharing in the first place.

I guess my point was that if you find yourself plugging a keyboard into a tablet then perhaps you have made the wrong choice in hardware. It's a bit like adding a towbar to a motorbike. Once I have to start taking a keyboard around with me to use my nice neat *portable* device then the extra inconvenience of a laptop becomes insignificant.

Laptop.

I've always been fascinated by people who keep dangerous pets or work with them. They often seem to hold the belief that their relationship with these creatures transcends their instinctive nature to kill. And for a time it seems that they are right. But you only have to piss off a grizzly bear one time, and all of a sudden you're on the latest episode of "People Who Domesticated Animals Which Shouldn't Have Been Domesticated."

"Making a resource easier to use leads to greater consumption, not less, says Ulander."

What a pearl of wisdom that is! Things that are easier will be used more. Now why hasn't someone of thought of that until now? Oh wait, they did. At least 150 years ago, and probably well before that. Congratulations.

Let me get some popcorn. This is going to be a good debate with lots of well rounded and rational arguments.

So you're saying that *all* programming languages are exactly as good each other then? Perhaps you are spending too much time in the "real" world?

I didn't know there was even 250 blackberry users let alone staff.

Mod-parent down. I won't hear bad things about /.

Good luck with that.
