In fact, several websites need to remove the PlayBook browser from their "mobile device" list and allow it to access the standard desktop-targetted site.
I have a hard time believing there were more than a couple of websites that took the Playbook browser into consideration at all.
A lot of RIPscrip hasn't been ported either, and yet I still manage to get out of bed every morning.
Flash is dead. It may not realize it yet, but it's dead. I'll miss certain Flash apps and animations in much the same way I'd miss old DOS and Amiga apps that're a pain in the neck to run now. That is, they're still viewable if you're determined enough but chances are you'll rarely want to.
I don't like the Heartland Institute and I wouldn't attempt to defend them or their actions, but your points are weak:
creating controversy and doubt over the fact that smoking causes health problems
OK, that's indefensible.
drafting policies targeted at reducing the services provided by the federal government to nothing more than a "competitive marketplace"
You're begging the question by assuming that they're wrong. I'm not saying they're right, but I don't think either "big government" or "small" government approach is inherently correct.
instituting "market reform" into the education system and championing charter schools (here in los angeles, charter schools show up in the news once a week for some major breech of trust, child abuse or embezzlement scandal)
As we all know, all regular public schools have spotless reputations. Can you cite evidence that charter schools have higher crime rates than non-charter schools?
the same reaganite health care privatization and deinstitutionalization mentality that landed an entire generation of schitzophrenics and invalids on the streets of skid row.
That's just sensationalism.
Again, I'm not defending them. It's just that you've done a really poor job of illustrating why they're not to be trusted.
Apache is "simple" in the same way that PHP is: it has excellent documentation because it has to or else no one would ever be able to use it. I've been using it professionally since the late 90s and am reasonably happy and comfortable with it, but I still have to RTFM every time I want to do something non-trivial.
Seriously, they stated the top 5% in congested markets would be throttled, which would be fine, if they utilized the actual top 5%.
Not if you bought an unlimited plan, it shouldn't be fine. Also, 5% always means "1 in 20". If you kick the top 5% of users off your network this month, next month there'll be a new top 5%. Eject them and there's a new 95th percentile the following month.
Disclaimer: I don't even use AT&T. I just hate when companies blatantly lie by misrepresenting statistics.
These are the people, of course, who would take advantage of the free gate checking of bags but they've managed to pack something valuable into the bag and don't want to let it go baggage class.
I was with you up until this point. I'm one of those people who refuses to pay to check bags unless I absolutely have to. I'm also a stickler for the rules, if for no other reason that I don't want to give the airlines any reason whatsoever to make me pay for extra services I don't want. Because of that, my bag is completely within regulation size and weight limits, and I don't have a lot of sympathy for airlines who can't find a way to make my standards-compliant carryon luggage fit into the space it was designed for.
Furthermore, because it's now so expensive to check luggage, all of my daily necessities are in my carry-on. The fact is that sometimes the airlines lose luggage. Another fact is that I've never once lost my own luggage that I was carrying with me. Unless forced, I'd rather take responsibility for my own belongings so that I won't find myself going to a job interview with unbrushed teeth and wearing the same clothes I wore during travel.
There are plenty of selfish reasons to want to bring as much possible in a carryon. That doesn't automatically make those reasons bad or invalid.
By the age when people are typically diagnosed with Alzheimer's, skin cancer is very common. Is anyone likely to question a purely coincidental diagnosis of skin cancer in a 70-year-old and its subsequent treatment?
Perhaps TBL was hedging his bets by using logic that would either 1) win the case, or 2) cause the case to be lost so terribly badly and with such devastating precedent that major tech firms would join him in opposing software patents.
As a third-party observer, the funny part is watching people fall all over themselves to be the first to correct the OP's statement.
