I don't understand the condescending attitude that many nerds have about iOS devices and their users.
They got really bored of hating Microsoft?

Well, see, in countries where there's decent privacy laws, it's illegal to take a picture of somebody where that person is the subject of the photo, and then to publish that photo without their permission.
Wish I could vote you up, sir. People don't understand that posting photos to facebook is publishing, and that they should be subjected to the same restrictions placed on professionals.
Serious question? The replicator would solve all the world's hunger and resource problems.
Considering there's already enough food to go around, and it doesn't, do you honestly think the replicators would make the rounds?
The problem was that IE had a 95% share of the market, so developers thought they could get away with developing web applications that would work only on IE 6 for Windows. And, of course, they did.
I'd blame it more on the breed of "VB 6 for dummies" "developers" that also emerged around that time, that had no clue what a mess they were making.
Someone who is security conscious enough to use this service, is also probably bright enough to actually secure their smartphone with a PIN.
. In fact, they're rather famous for not allowing you to do what you want with your phone. It took new rules to allow unlocking, for instance
None of my previous phones, besides a Blackberry, allowed you to do much of anything, and worse, the providers locked them down to the point that they were practically useless even if software was available for them. It took specialized software to unlock them just to install apps, or prevent annoying "trust this app" prompts. Apple seems a step ahead to me, or they did at that point in time.
Sidewalks are public property too, does the government have the right to say when and how you can walk on them?
They say you can't drive your car, motorcycle or bike on them. So it seems they have the right.
What a bunch of wimps. Here in southern California, a mere 5.5 would hardly even arouse anyone's interest. Probably make page 1 of the local section unless the Padres made a big trade; then it would be relegated to page 2.
Wimps?
2" of snow would make you cry for weeks. In Ottawa, we finally caved in and cheered for an extra 6" so we could break the 170" record only a few years ago. It's all about what you're accustomed to.
This that is spoken of here is not piracy, and I must say I strongly object to the term being used in this way. Call it copyright violation, call it theft if you want to, I don't care. But to call it piracy demeans and degrades what real victims suffer, what mariners fear, and what the crew I have the privilege of working with sacrifice to combat.
All kinds of nasty stuff can happen to the victim during a real piracy, or real theft. You strongly object to the use of the term "piracy" to refer to copyright infringement, but you don't care if people call it theft? You have no grounds to complain.
3 Non parent has a bunch of pictures of children (with a number of them barely dressed) PORN
Seriously?! I've got a ton of images of my niece and nephew in my library. Some of them in swimsuits playing in the pool, or running through the sprinkler on a hot summer day.
You might want to revise your definition of pornography.
