Yeah, I was reading just the other day of that proprietary Apple plugin technology. I think it was called "HTML5" or something like that. You can't watch ads on your iPhone. Boo Fucking Hoo. Jobs is such a BASTARD!.

That would make sense if too many religionists weren't Hell bent on forcing religion back into aspects of culture we've been successfully removing religion from in the first place.

OTHER TIP: People who routinely attack others for not being free enough in their thinking are doing so because said others are not open to every retarded fuzzy minded piece of nonsense that comes down the pipe.

Overly snarky, mayhap, but I agree with the sentiment. Plenty of "just is" knowledge is upended when someone bothers to actually study said knowledge.

A real device is a physical entity. CGI movies are not real devices.

"although it won't look pretty or run as fast...". That's all, Folks!

The Bravery of Being Out of Range. Roger Waters called it 20 years ago.

Has anyone driven a truck thru these gaping holes? Anyone? Beuller? When OSX is suffering from a deluge of viruses from all these supposed gaping holes in it's Architecture, please come back and let us know. Because while every operating system has vulnerabilities, only Microsoft was kind enough to make those vulnerabilities accessible by system wide scripting mechanisms that allowed millions of computer users the world over be the subject of attacks from the hundreds of thousands of pieces of malware constantly fighting to infect Windows PCs. The count (for those who think a security vulnerability makes Apple's points about viruses invalid) is about one hundred thousand to 0. This is being very generous. So, yes, as a matter of fact, there are no viruses for Mac OS X. Not virtually none, not almost none. None.

Few thousand lives? Who cares? US roads (just US roads) kill almost 40 thousand people a year. 39800 in 2008 alone. Do you know how many Denver pantsbomber flights that is? 143. One hundred and forty three jets would have to be destroyed with all hands every year to equal the death toll on the US roads. Yet where is the panic, the regulations, the outraged calls for action? We are afraid of exactly the wrong things. Since 1999 there have been 6 attempted terrorist attacks concerning US or US bound aircraft with 4 successes. The number of people lost is completely irrelevant in light of the tens of thousands that die yearly in the mundane crap nobody seems to care about. The billions wasted on ever more ridiculous regulations screwing up the lives of air travelers amounts to exactly that: a waste.

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.
