With all of the preparation's being made to usher in Skype in place of WLM, it's not a surprising move.
To publish an insanely sensationalistic FUD piece from the Anti-Nuclear crowd scaremongering the most densely populated area of the world over something that is a complete and utter non-issue.
Not that your point isn't well taken, but either you're using a different definition of "world" or "density," or something happened to Japan, Mexico, South Korea and India (and possibly the Philippines) since this morning that hasn't been making the news.
You're more likely to drop the phone in the toilet then getting hacked.
I doubt you'll get hacked after having dropped it in the toilet, and if you do you have some rather unfortunate luck.
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.

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.
