It has real meaning:

This article uses 4G to refer to IMT-Advanced (International Mobile Telecommunications Advanced), as defined by ITU-R. An IMT-Advanced cellular system must fulfill the following requirements:[5]

Funny you should quote an article saying that LTE isn't really 4G either.

I think a notification/warning would be nice prior to purging it from the system. Maybe it does, I don't know. But at least let the owner of the computer know that...

It doesn't - purge that is: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5271?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

If Safari 5.1.7 detects an out-of-date version of Flash Player on your system, you will see a dialog informing you that Flash Player has been disabled. The dialog provides the option to go directly to Adobe's website, where you can download and install an updated version of Flash Player. Additional Information If you need to re-enable an out-of-date version of Flash Player, you can do the following:
Navigate to the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (Disabled) folder.
Drag "Flash Player.plugin" into /Library/Internet Plug-Ins.
If the browser is running, quit and restart it.

Yes, that Apple involved 3rd parties in the dispute off the bat by cutting off access. It was a great disservice to people who rely on it and have nothing to do with the dispute.

Apple can do what they want to do. That's why I went to Android.

Because you don't actually know what is going on? Best reason ever to switch to Android. Nobody's access to Dropbox has been cut off. New Apps or versions of Apps have not made it through screening. Old versions still work as before. Thanks for proving that you and everyone modding you up is a clueless moron.

... saying that's the same plant that's threatening to strike. Which is not surprising, considering it's the only plant they have in Brazil. I'm wondering if the GGP is misinformed or just providing an information disservice.

Considering they have several different plants in Jundiaí alone, that's hard to buy. http://g.co/maps/vsd7d

Comment Re:Apple unwilling to insulate itself from bad pre (Score -1) 201

If Apple wants to insulate itself from bad press related to the employment practices of its contract manufacturers, it could buy its own factories and employ the workers who make its products.

Which would result in the Apple haters complaining that Apple was responsible for the worsening working conditions of those Foxconn workers who didn't lose their jobs.

Submission + - Apple blowing Android away in enterprise adoption (networkworld.com)

CheerfulMacFanboy writes: According to the latest numbers released by mobile enterprise tech firm Good Technology, iOS devices accounted for around 80% of new activations on corporate networks in the first quarter of 2012, while Android-based devices accounted for just 20%. No other mobile platform, such as Windows Mobile, registered enough activations on the quarter to crack Good's study, which tracked mobile device activations across thousands of companies that registered at least five activated mobile devices. Good also says that BlackBerry devices were not on the study since the company does not support the platform and thus "does not have insight" into BlackBerry activations.

Probably the point was that both things are bad, and people ignores that bit of info about it, which in turns ends up making a substantial amount of damage

Sorry, whenever somebody needs to use a Nazi comparison to prove "how bad something is" - you can be certain he is lying through his teeth. Just take the all-time favorite: Abortions are bad, proof is that the Nazis loved them - yeah, that's why abortion was a capital offense in Nazi Germany.

You're not going to get away with a fatuous statement like that. The communist idea that all should work for the good of the state and put the good of the state above their own wellbeing is indelibly part of the way places such as North Korea work.

Interesting point - I'm sure you can show us where exactly Marx claimed something like that.
