These virtual keyboards are for thin-fingered meth addicts.

How do big-fingered people use the virtual keyboard genius? What is the iPhone only for ultra-petite women?

Just because selling the phones will be a new profit engine all by itself, they won't want to outrage users by bombarding them with Google Ads. Stop the nonsense.

Hey I'm a Microsoftie, but I've been using Chrome for months now and it's the best from a performance standpoint and the UI is nothing but clean. Sure it doesn't have a plug-in architecture that I'm aware of, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. You can host Silverlight apps if you want a rich UI experience.

No kidding. I was tired of Firefox bloat and I haven't looked back! I only use Firefox for Netflix instant viewing since they haven't implemented Silverlight to work inside Chrome. Which is really strange because I've gotten my own Silverlight apps working inside Chrome no problem.

Yeah. I learn much better now at 32 then I did 15 years ago. Even though my information processing speed might be less, other factors increase overall retention.

Apple fan-bois routinely tell me that Apple is on the "bleeding edge" of innovation at all times and no one else is compared to them. I guess it's mostly marketing hype. I mean heck, when I was shopping for an MP3 player I looked at the iPod Nano and saw what they were charging for accessories like battery chargers and slipcases. Apple has always marked up their products like 500%.
