Actually the proper research is very conclusive. There are no health hazards from cell phone use.
People don't like that answer though, so they keep trying to come up with something that says otherwise.
They produced the first good MP3 player, the iPod. Then others developed good MP3 players too.
MP3 players existed before the iPod, many of them were cheaper, had more storage, and better user interfaces. When the iPod came out it had half the features, but better marketing. I had an MP3 player in the days of the original ipods, it had twice the storage, and played video (the ipod didn't yet) it also had a much more intuitive user interface, and a longer battery life.
They moved on to the first good smartphone, the iPhone. Then others developed good smartphones too.
Smartphones existed before the iPhone, many of them were cheaper, had more features, and better user interfaces, when the iPhone came out it had half the features, but better marketing. I had a smart phone before the first iPhone, it had lots of apps available, cut and paste functionality, and several other features that didn't exist on the iphone at the time.
See a trend here? Apple has NEVER created the "best" anything, or the "first" anything, They produce marketing. that's it.
Apple needs a new form factor
And I'm sure that once someone else starts to make inroads in to the mainstream market with something neat, Apple will find this new device, make an inferior version, and market the heck out of it. That's what they do. And I'll admit, they do it really well.
"much longer"? hardly. depending on your model of android phone the iphone might have a slightly longer battery life, or your android phoen could have a MUCH longer battery life than the iphone. iphone is about middle of the road for battery life among smart phones.
Please give an example of a time where iphone has ever been in the lead? Other devices were better than the iphone before it came out, and continued to be superior after it did. Once the Android became mainstream it was already lightyears ahead of the iphone, and has maintained it's lead ever since.
the only thing the iphone has ever been in the lead on is marketing and market share (and honestly, it's lost on both of those now)
I hope you're not trying to use that to suggest the iphone would be better...
Unfortunately, no matter how far ahead Android phones are, the manufacturers are always rushing to remove features not available on the iphones. My last android phone had a slide out keyboard, a dedicated HDMI output port, and a micro-SD slot... Unfortunately as iPhone doesn't have those, many Android manufacturers have removed all of those from their latest offerings. Everyone wants to copy the iPhone all right, they want all our phones to be just as useless.
I like the fact that out of the box, the iPhone can handle, calendar invites. Android doesn't, so you have to find the "right" app to handle it correctly, and then there's no guarantee it will work on future versions of Android.
Where on earth did you come up with that complete and utter nonsense? Google Calendar comes with every Android phone I've ever seen, and it has always handled calendar invites perfectly well. As for future versions, I highly doubt they would remove such a basic feature that has existed since the start.
I found the summary easy enough to understand, though that's perhaps due to my knowledge of the current stare of copyright in Canada.
Basically when the last copyright bill was shovelled through parliament the government promised that it wouldn't lead to individuals being charged for private infringement. To try to guarantee that they put in place a cap of a maximum of $5,000 for ALL past infringements combined making the act of sending a lawyer after someone potentially more expensive then you could possibly recoup in court. (Also note that is a maximum, and the minimum is substantially less. The court is unlikely to award everyone the maximum penalty as that wouldn't differentiate between someone copying a few movies, and copying every movie ever made)
It gets worse, I've seen the "cost of living index" intentionally omit energy and food prices as "too volatile". What is the cost of living without energy or food?
That way the "cost of living" index, which is used to set wages and other benefits, shows little inflation, even while costs soar.
I've never worked anywhere with free snacks, but I did have a previous employer with free pop. I abused it for the first couple weeks, as did everybody else. But very quickly I was back down to the same amount I drank when I had to provide it myself, only without having to buy it.
And this was when I was a 20 year old with no self control (ok, 22). I'm not sure that on average it's a huge problem.
no, I realize that they are unlikely to do so (I even stated as such in my original comment)
I just don't like the idea that they can, for no reason whatsoever, and with no oversight at all, do so.
People keep suggesting if you don't like something to vote with your wallet, and that's what I do. I use my vacation time and dollars in other countries instead.
Considering the evidence we've been seeing recently for liquid water on the martian surface at some time in the past, it does stand to reason that Mars did at one point fall in the habitable zone.
Then do what my carrier already does, they only supply support for phones they specifically sold you. You want support for an iphone, but bought a flip phone? too bad, you can get support from whoever sold you the iphone, or go pay an apple "genius" to sort it out.
I don't see why the carrier should be responsible for support on any product they didn't sell you. If people really think the carrier should be on the hook for that support, then no wonder carriers hate the "bring your own handset" model!
If they call asking to connect to wifi with a phone they didn't buy from you, tell them to talk to whoever sold them the phone.
If it's that easy to see what phone they have, it should be even easier to see what phone you sold them and what plan they bought. "I see you bought an LG Flip phone, those don't have wifi, so I can't show you how to connect it."
Provide support only for what the person signed up for. Don't sign them up for things they didn't want.
On the bright side, if they won't let you take it away to evaluate before signing, you have a much better case to have the contract thrown out as you obviously were not able to make an informed decision before signing (part of the basis of contract law)
Canada bows quickly to US patent pressure, so no, Canada wouldn't work.
If you want to put yourself on the map, publish your own map.
