Comment Re:Time to ban iDevices (Score 1) 311

I, for one , believe Apple has a clear path to solving this and a moral obligation to take action to defend their customers from these low-lifes. I am speaking of guns of course, since how else can any wrong be righted? I think any clear thinking individual can see that part of the problem with guns is the industry has been dominated by a few companies whose ideas stagnated during the middle-ages . Introducing the new kid on the block--Apple! The mere idea of a new iGun every year sends me aTwitter! Full-size iGuns, mini-iGuns. Imagine the look on that wanna-be iDevice thief when you pull your full auto(heh, we don't want to bother an Apple customer with choices)mini-iGun out and sweep the street with it. Hard to teach a better life lesson that. Or maybe that should be lifeless lesson. One thing I've learned over the years is some Apple owners take a shot better than others, if you know what I mean. All joking aside, what other company is out there that has the cajones to take someone else's design, dress it up(also called trade dress) and sell it as something you just have to have .

IOS 6 users received close to the 197 security patches when/if they upgraded to iOS6( http://www.zdnet.com/apple-provides-197-security-reasons-to-upgrade-to-ios-6-7000004535/) You and jo_ham and your counterparts anon and anon have nothing to fear. Just keep following your(suspiciously)similar Apple roadmaps. Using your new Apple 3D magic carpet ride mapping app of course. Be confident--you never have to check for security updates. After all, your in your new magical garden. It will magically stop all security vulnerabilities. No need to follow any security news. Apple has done it again. I'm sure they've already patented this magical walled garden approach, because it's such a monumental breakthrough in security it must have just been cooked up in their magical walled kitchen. Of course, they can close that kitchen now because, as you have pointed out, it is 'the' answer to the security problems surrounding mobile products. And I'm sure they won't, for the same reason, need to issue security patches so there's probably going to be a few layoffs in Cupertino--well enough said. You know what I'm talking about. Being right--all_the_time. Updates when updating to iOS 7=0. No need to even check. EVER.

You don't think a person of Woz's wealth would get preferential treatment do you? His (ex)partner seemed to have to wait hours for his organ transplant, right? And what about that Aussie guy ,who seems to get citizenship within minutes of his arrival in any country he invests(or perhaps infects is a better word choice)? You know Rupture,er,Rupert Murdoch. What a saint. Seems to me I read that he was put on a fasttrack for citizenship, but I know as an American, my country would never bend the rules for somebody worth a measly few billion. And I'm just as sure the Aussie's are the same way. Beside this, we have the Woz stating he didn't want any favors here in getting fiber to his place, so I'm sure waiting a couple years for citizenship won't bother him a bit.
