Opera keeps them and their history all cached though- I don't think FF did that, but I could be wrong.
Submission + - Atheist To "Rapturites": "Leave Me Out (functionalisminaction.com)
IConrad01 writes: "Functionalism In Action: An Atheist's Message To "The Rapturites": "Leave Me Out Of This!" is a commentary by a technophile libertarian (yours truly), with an atheist's perspective, on exactly why it is that the modern christian belief in John Darby's "Rapture" is something that threatens all of humanity."
Submission + - Apple sued over iPhone nonreplaceable batteries
UnknowingFool writes: "A customer name Jose Trujillo has filed a class-action lawsuit against Apple over the iPhone batteries. According to the suit, Apple did not disclose that the batteries of the iPhone were not user-replaceable. Also the plaintiff alleges that the battery will need to replaced every year. When a battery needs to be replaced, the customer will be without a phone for several days unless the customer pays $29.95 for a loaner phone service. Lastly, the plaintiff alleges that the battery information was difficult to find on Apple's website.
- Technically Apple did not disclose that battery situation but it was widely reported before the iPhone was launched. Perhaps the customer did not read any reviews or has been living in a cave the last six months.
- The iPhone battery implementation is no different than the iPod battery implementation. Perhaps the customer has never used an iPod.
- The iPhone has been out less than a month. The return period on the iPhone is 14 days for a full refund unless the box has been opened which will cost 10%. So rather than return his iPhone in the first 2 weeks and take a $60 maximum charge, the customer sued instead.
- Since the iPhone is new, how can the plaintiff (or Apple) know how long the battery will actually last? Apple estimates that the iPhone battery life will retain 80% charge after 400 charges. Where is the plaintiff getting his information?
