There's no need for comments as this is a rare article summary that actually tells you what you want to know. Bravo!

You might be on to something if only they all ran the same firmware. In this case, it makes sense to call attention to the fact that they are all different firmwares.

I see... Because I have kids -and- an electronic gadget I'm obligated to spend $10 per month on apps? Interesting. I guess if my kid had no other interests I might could get behind you. You know what? I suspect it'd just be easier if there was a mandated $10/month app spending requirement that came with kids and iDevices so I could just stop thinking about how to spend my money. Thanks for your kid raising advice, stranger!

Is it just me or does the fact that their allowance program has a -minimum- purchase of $10 per month seem a bit ridiculous? Damned if I'm going to give a young child $10 per month to spend on games and in-app purchases. If Apple really wanted to make it useful for parents it would have a $1 minimum. Instead, it's about pulling more money.

No, that's not all. There's also this gem: 'Our new steering technology allows use[sic] to direct current flow...'.

No, now you're stealing from both the businesses and the crooks. You're not moving up the ethical ladder at all.

This submission is horrible. Yes, it's so bad I'm ranting about bad editors on /. At least -I- will feel better.

No, the moral of the story is to not hire criminals. If he didn't like the wages/working conditions he should get another job, not find ways to criminally bilk his current employer.

On Wednesday we'll find out about HP's new tablets. One thing that will be very important will be the price. I'm hoping that it steers well clear of the $800 mark. As I was telling someone, there are two ways to approach this: One, a low cost device that will be an easy purchase. Two, a device with incredible specs that people are willing to pay a premium for. I honestly think that approach one, while possibly a disappointment to the tech geek crowd, will yield a lot more owners. In any case, I'll be there in SF to hear the announcement!
