Oh, drop dead. There is no White Creationist Knight riding in some day to evaporate the mountains of evidence that quite conclusively show that evolution is a fact. And if you really believe there is going to be an overturning of DNA as the inheritance mechanism allowing descent with modification, you will waste your life waiting for that day.

For nearly four straight years, every feature stuffed non Apple mp3 player was the "iPod Killer". Turns out the only true iPod Killer was the iPhone. At least they have the good sense to call this a "challenger" and not a "killer". And Microsofties can always dream about how the Pink would have killed the iPhone, I guess.

They probably produced a paper about how everyone was going to own a SPOT watch as well...

A whiny pointless dismissal of an Apple product by someone who doesn't understand the appeal! Stop the presses!

I wish anything Microsoft does would still surprise me...

I'd like to get all hot and bothered, but I just can't. I have a legal data bundle with tethering included for which I have paid. Apple is not calling all the shots in this game, they have to at least pay lip service to providers wishes. If that means people not on explicit data plans with tethering get shafted, it's a hiccup. I'm sure it will get fixed. But don't let that stop anyone from going all fscking crazy about the imaginary freedoms they never had on other platforms until Apple changed the smart phone game.

The SMS hack affects many phones and many systems. Nothing in the wild, no plague of users infected or crashed or harmed. But let's run it as if the iPhone is the only one infected, and Apple somehow is a laggard for not releasing a patch. Then later, we'll talk about whether the problem is universal.

So, is the iPhone the only phone that matters, or is it just too hard for submitter NOT to use Apple and the iPhone to get attention?

How quick to bleat about the evil Apple when in fact AT&T are the bad guys. Imagine the ISP not wanting an App on a phone it sells to circumvent the charging of features on AT&Ts network, and since they had the power they got it pulled. But that didn't stop the usual Apple Bashers from running their mouths off with certainty concerning a topic they actually knew nothing about.

What's left to say? Isn't this just a matter for psychiatrists and sociologists now? Engaging these idiots in discussions would just make your own IQ drop without affecting their worldview in the slightest.

So you come here with your vicious stupidity but it's "Apple fanboys" who are rabid? Apple bashers seemingly have one thing in common: they are inordinately smug c***suckers routinely calling the kettle black.

Glad to see that in 2009 USAnians are still defending the pile of shit that is the Imperial System. Fine, the booster math has no cheaper solution than sticking with Imperial for the current systems. But none of this would be necessary in the first place if people weren't so hung up on the doing what's familiar than what's easy and better. And democracies are unfortunately super great for perpetuating stupidities people are comfortable with...

Google is running scared from a rebranded failure. Just like Apple is quaking in it's boots over the Zune.

Two thousand and seven called: they want their aging hipster snotty dismissal whine back.

Who is reading Slashdot these days? More than the required amount of mouth breathers? Apple is the most effective and popular online retailer of music, and has 30000+ apps in the App Store for it's iPhone and it's not obvious what an Apple datacenter would be used for? Give your heads a shake.

There is nothing lucrative about a razor thin margin sub notebook where the most expensive component is the hobbled Windows dreck staining it's hard drive.
