Possibly because, when I see a guy fuck a cow, I totally don't want to eat that cow anymore.

Did you just godwin a poll about cooking beef?????

Thanks for informing us that CPU and graphics are all that go into a computer. I always thought there was more. Do only idiots buy Dell Precisions? Those are also Intel/Nvidia chips, but cost more than there similarly speced Dell Insperon and Dimension lines. Could it be that other people value things you don't? Are you really so arrogant that you think only morons can have a different opinions or values? What a sad, narrow little world you must live in.

Remember when the PS3 came out, people were lining up to buy 5 and 6 at a time and selling them on ebay. Sony took all the heat, PR wise, for that, and now when Apple tries to avoid that heat, we spin that as negative too. Can you say "no win"?

The hell i don't!

New iPhone add: Secret service got your phone? They can't remove the battery either!!!!!!!!!

In 10 years the company I work for, and millions of others like us, will still be using shit in-house developed vb and .net apps that require some version of Windows to run. We will all still be locked into Windows desktop systems (many of us using ancient, unsupported versions of 2000 and XP still). We just last year got rid of the last Win 98 desktops. The iPhone will not displace Windows based desktop PCs and Laptops, because too much of the world could not possibly afford the up front cost of porting our entire erp solution over. Your tinfoil hat seems to be affecting your thinking ability, you might need to invest in a larger one.

2 things, it seems the loudest folks on Slashdot ARE screaming about it. I'm also not sure that if MS did this with Windows mobile anyone would care, as long as they left Windows alone.

I think AC's point was that your posting in it shows your reading it, and with all the attention this gets from both fanbois and haters (lets be honest, no one anywhere seems to fall in the middle) a news outlet would be truly insane not to pick this up.

Yes, but he rang up Apples first tier CS, not people who would have been in the loop of the missing iPhone. If I found a wallet with your ID in it, and asked a coworker of yours "did Geekoid say he had lost his wallet?" would you consider that to be enough? The iPhone should have gone to either the barkeep or the police. Any amount of common sense tells you that any of the published numbers for Apple will not get the phone returned. The only possible reason to call those numbers for this is so that you can later say "well, I tried to call Apple...." Is prosecution a good choice? probably overboard, but in taking the phone from the bar, he took on a responsibility to find its owner, not make a half assed attempt that was doomed to failure from the beginning. I would say he should give back the $5000 and call it even, as I don't think that this should entail jail time for him, nut he certainly should not profit from it. Chen, on the other hand, really should have known better, and I have very little sympathy for whatever happens to him.

Hold out hope. Some of us appreciate and cherish rational discussion.

You must be new here :)

The problem, Alphathon, is who decides legitimate use? I cary a leatherman tool virtually everywhere I go, as a PC tech I would be lost without it. I use it constantly, and I am also an avid DIY type. I also regularly carry a small flashlight. Carrying a device that could be used as a weapon should not be illegal. One that has no other use than a weapon, different story, and an argument I will not get into. But carrying a screwdriver, or any other tool, should not be illegal. People who intend to do damage are going to find a way to harm you. Keeping screwdrivers away from them will only give the illusion of protection. A rock found on the side of the road is equally deadly. To suggest that my pocket knife not be carried in public is useless, and only serves to limit my freedoms, while offering no real protection to anyone else.

But I only eat pork that was cooked while still alive!!! If you set it so it can only cut dead meet, I'll have to eat DEAD PIG!!!!!!!!
