Yes, but many of those consumers work in companies. They ask their IT departments to get access to the corporate applications, and the IT departments cannot allow that for Apple makes it hard to have any level of security on their devices. It results in a tough challenge for IT departments which Apple does not do much to help resolving. The end effect is more frustration between corporate users and IT, and more opportunities for hackers. It would make life easier for those corporate consumers if Apple cared. Now, of course that's just one segment of consumers. I just hope they get more vocal.

Recently my company rented Segway ride as entertainment for the team. We drove through parks at lakeside of Chicago downtown. People who saw us reacted very positively. Some would take photo of us and with us. I may add that the experience was somewhat philosophical: Segway enabled me to move without realizing how I control it, as if I was controlling it by pure will. A highly recommended novel experience!

On Science = "I can show/demonstrate/repeat" -- that is only true to an extent of both observers agreeing on what they observe. In other words, to be a scientist one need to BELIEVE in the scientific method and be committed to the Realism. It is undeniable that Science is much more successful in studying Nature than Religion, yet many may argue that the kind of knowledge Science ends up with is utterly devoid of purpose other than the knowledge itself. The truly successful sciences of the future will have to explain phenomenon of Life, Consciousness, and people's fascination with Religion.
