Sorry, but I don't trust having all my apps run from the web. Just the other day I was on a tight deadline trying to print a document from Docs when it crapped out on me refusing to print. It was late at night, so it's understandable if they needed to do some server maintenance. Or possibly it wasn't even Google's fault because there may have been issues with my ISP, but either way I was helpless to do anything. I would prefer to having things run locally and automatically sync to the cloud when possible.

How is the lag on the bluetooth Senns? I've read that there are audio lags when watching video with bluetooth headphones.

Apple trades at around 20 times its earnings, similar to Google and Oracle which are both market leaders as well. Nothing out of the ordinary here. What doesn't seem to make sense is why a company like Amazon trades at 60 times its earnings. Is its growth potential 3 times greater than Apple?

But you don't have to pay for each mistaken phone call that you make...

Or it could be other investors selling because of the spike. Isn't it a bit presumptuous to assume that they're the same people selling at a loss?

Which seem to be having problems with MBPs.

Open market apps are probably lower quality when it comes to testing. So "freezes, crashes and data loss" are pretty common. If you're use to using freeware you're use to this type of behavior. Isn't the saying, "you get what you pay for"?

How do you propose to filter out the "useless and annoying" apps? When Apple tried to do some filtering people called them draconian and not being transparent with the review process. Please define "useless and annoying" such that both consumers and developers would be satisfied.

How does that protect you from patent trolls who force you to stop sales of your handset until the patent dispute is resolved with MS? Never underestimate the deviousness of patent trolls to cause maximum pain and suffering for their own profit.

Come on, don't be naive. What do think happens when there is a rogue bank employee, or IRS employee, or healthcare employee. Are you going to stop using all these services? Your data is out there just hope that you're not the unlucky person targeted.

Do we even know what type of integration was proposed? I can see a lot of benefit for Facebook to receive additional traffic from iTunes users. I imagine that they wanted a cut from iTunes sales that Apple was not willing to give.

I always see this line of thought come from slashdoters, "why do companies have to keep growing, why can't they just keep doing what they're doing now?" Companies are not individuals they are long-lived entities that exist beyond the lifespan of any one individual. If I were to make the same analogy and say that the human race has achieved a lot already why bother trying to improve, would you agree with this comment? Even as individuals, shouldn't we always strive to be better?

Can't play your archaic movie format? Why not use VLC? Why eschew features such as hardware acceleration and support for modern codecs? Backwards compatibility for out-dated formats is bloat as well.

Trust me there's no point in trying to rationally explain the advantages to someone who doesn't care to listen.

English isn't the only language that people use...
