Now imagine they prevent you from doing that anymore. Do you install their app? I browse Reddit with a third party app because thatâ(TM)s what works for me. Itâ(TM)s going away so, so am I. Iâ(TM)m not even mad, Iâ(TM)m just not interested in their app and their content isnâ(TM)t anything that special that it canâ(TM)t be found elsewhere.

I honestly feel like there is a lot of astroturfing going on about this.

They are giving out cases because the media has helped build the perception that there is a problem with reception on the phone. The free bumper is for people who aren't going to read about this event. Even if you look at the article on cnn.com right now, they miss the point.

I'm an Apple customer, and I do not like being treated like an idiot. I do like seeing Apple defend themselves against idiotic claims and faulty "tests" that mean nothing.

No, they said some people might have the problem that everyone's been blowing out of proportion. But only .5% (not 5 percent, half a percent) of users have even reported the problem. Most of the people foaming at the mouth about this don't even have iPhones, they just want to see Apple fail. Because these people have been so loud, the perception is that most people are having reception problems, which is simply not true. For most people the reception is better. Because the media has created this perception, Apple is giving everyone free Bumpers.

Sure, but the contract doesn't state that you have to accept those changes. As the parent said, they could "grandfather" your account until the term is up, which is what most of these providers would do, or if they stupidly decided to not give you that option, you could just not accept the changes and cancel the account with no early termination penalty.

The iPad is unlocked. You can get a sim from Tmobile and put it in there. The problem is that T-mobiles 3g is not compatible with the iPad, so it can only use the slower speed connection. But it is unlocked and can be used with any compatible 3g provider.

Woah, they should start selling some of those. I can't imagine why they'd be sitting on that many of them.

The user's ability to multitask is not what is being questioned. Just because someone chooses to focus on one thing doesn't mean they want all of their other programs to halt while they do so. Prime example: I was listening to This American Life the other night on my iPod Touch. Someone played a word in "Words with Friends (Scrabble)". Without thinking I switched to Words with Friends, and my audio from This American Life died.

How is this over the line? You understand that iAd is an opportunity for developers to use ads in their (generally) free applications to support revenue. The ads are already there, it's just easier on the developers now.

It's amazing the way you NOTICE TWO THINGS.

I don't know exactly how the retailer gets this information, but CC alone is enough for them to get your address. This happened to me recently. I went to a local "dollar store" for the first time recently and purchased a Coca-cola with my credit card. About a week or two later I received an ad from the store addressed to me (not Current Resident). The only way they could have gotten my address was from the credit card company.
