OS X seems to have it's share of security problems:

Chris Lomont came up with the specific number, and he works three doors down, and he's too damn smart to be such a cool guy :) Unrelated, amusing anecdote. We've developed a "pre-interview questionnaire" for potential hires that have a bunch of (what we consider) easy computer questions. The first one has a singleton pattern in pseudo-code and has 4 possible answers. One of them is the "Lomont Twist", a mythical pattern I through in there for kicks. I'd say around 10% of respondents select that one! We're thinking of creating a wikipedia page for it with some strange content so hopefully one day we catch someone using Google instead of their brains when we ask why they picked Lomont Twist.

Clearly the rational approach is to say, "Sorry honey, I can't help you with the new life you brought into the world, I have to ship a telephone."

Comparing my HTC Evo to my friend's iPhone 4, I like my larger screen better - the iPhone screen is pretty, but too small for my eyes.

The HTC Evo has a higher rez camera, I'll have to compare pix to my friend's iPhone to see which one producing better. HTC Evo already had a front-facing camera before the iPhone, so iPhone is playing catchup there. Gyroscope is new, and nifty, agreed. iPhone being smaller is a negative for me, as I've mentioned. Videoconferencing is already there on Android. Tap-to-focus is arguable, but brings up an important point: iPhone users are dependent on Apple for innovation, and if Apple doesn't want it there, it won't be there. My HTC Evo has HDMI and USB - that crushes iPhone. I can treat the Evo as a USB drive, that crushes iPhone. The GUI (Sense) is better than iPhone. It had multi-tasking before iPhone.

The single only place where I envy iPhone users is the app store. Android's is adequate, but iPhone, given the closed model, is superior, and not just in number of apps. The apt comparison is an iPhone is a game console, and Android is a PC. Since I use my smartphone for non-game-console things, I'm very, very happy with the Android. Particularly with the Evo, it is simply better than iPhone 4, for me, and makes the 3GS look ancient.

A better analogy is a car capped at 70 mph, because, well, it's illegal anywhere in the US (I think) to go over 70, so you don't need that functionality! Would you buy that car then? And then of course there's the fact that you can't open any of the windows more than half way, because that's dangerous. And the steering wheel is permanently tilted to the angle the manufacturer believes is the perfect angle. Same with the mirrors, they've determined the optical angle for people. Are you over 6' or under 5'6"? Sorry, you'll just have to duck or crane your neck to see through them correctly. Oh, and it has no glove compartment because it is so easy to drive, there is no manual, and no reason for a glove compartment. Let's not mention it only gets one channel on the radio...

Huh, that analogy is much more fertile than I expected it was going to be!

At the expense of resolution.

Or you could use proven, effective techniques that people have used for a long, long time. "Colic" really means "fussy", basically kids with their nervous system amped up. http://www.amazon.com/Happiest-Baby-Block-Crying-Newborn/dp/0553588729 is a great book that helped us with our little guy.

Making your kid at risk already because of your falsely informed political agenda. Nice.
