Wait no, it's Bush's fault, damn Patriot Act. Damn Damn Dammmmmmmn.

Yeah, and the music too. Marilyn Manson did it.

Not that this should go on anyway, but don't go thinking this is a rare instance and they are stealing your milk money, it happens enough to be of some sort a standard business practice.

6-10, Because my sponsor company is cheap, I am pretty sure this is an Aptiva 1 with a 17" CRT. But then again my second computer from them is an new HP w/ 2 19" LCD's...

Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks for giving an answer that wasn't just explaining big business.. hahah.. ++

Now I might be missing something, but what did they gain through this acquisition? Why buy a one of the many competitors.. I mean yes it was a great service but there are others out there as well... I just don't get Apples gain from this purchase in the first place... Having two services is pointless one had to go and I have a feeling iTunes is kinda bigger..

Oh and, "Damn the man, save the empire"

Thanks for the history lesson Batman. But I'm fairly certain us terrible, blasphemous US-based customers would have answered any polling questions that the MMS is essential in any smart phone, or frankly almost every regular cell phone. It also has a lot to do with our archaic cell phone network, but I won’t get into that. I don't ask someone for their phone number, their e-mail, their home address and their SSN every time I met a new person unless I were to get a business card or something of the sort.

Sending pictures to a phone number is a key service, now if you want to make a phone number to e-mail database and set it up running the net and 3G appropriately I'm all for it. BUT, not everyone has constant internet access. SO removing a key feature makes YOU the dick.

Trying to change a standard to something better is one thing, but eliminating a service because you believe your idea is better, is a DICK move because -you- think you are smarter than the world. Gotta use the technology available son.

Otherwise, love the phone.

I don't care if HE doesn't think it's the right product. I want it, and everyone uses it. Make it work dick, you said similar shit about text/pic messages. Thanks for making me wait to send pic's for years.

Next Up! Norton to ID McAfee as a Virus!

And if they do, they plug it into a computer to get your software updates, where they browse the pr0n anyway.

Oh and Steve, let me change the goddamn background skin.

By providing the name, and validating his employment they gain further evidence that it is the next gen iPhone. They could've just said they checked it and it would've basically had the same result without public humiliation. This is a pretty bad oversight and I'm surprised it hasn't been removed already.

But I really thought it would make my penis bigger. wtf.

and 10x more possible mechanical problems.

Another thing I don't understand, why doesn't the government subsidize some of the initial costs of fiber or broadband deployment and give the initial company an exclusive say, 5 year monopoly on it then allow others to bid on it and promote options / competitiveness. But hey, that's just me thinking out loud..

"We're so far ahead of everyone else, it's "not even close."

Wiki article -- "List of countries by number of broadband Internet users" (and yes I realize % wise, we have more, but if you look at it that way, South Korea and Canada have than us..

Although he is right on some of the issues, he is swinging and missing on some of the key issues. The FCC has to regulate somehow, if he as a better method that doesn't just poll in a way Verizon will come out #1 I'm sure they'd listen. But trying to regulate data usage isn't gonna fly for anyone Ivan. We've got to try to be better, so many people don't even have broadband...
