Exactly. Idle should, by default, never appear in the front page stream.

The apps are the main selling point of the devices. Selling devices produces profit. Ever heard the catch-phrase "there's an app for that"?

I have the same problem living in Alberta, Having localized darkening on the windshield for the horizon-level sun would be great. And no, sunglasses don't help. If you've ever driven with the sun in your face then you'd know that.

Apple Newton vs. Apple iPhone 203

Posted by timothy on Thursday November 26, 2009 @04:29PM from the you-have-been-on-my-lawn-for-10-years dept.

An anonymous reader writes "CNET UK has written a head-to-head piece entitled Apple Newton vs Apple iPhone. Despite the Newton being released some 10 years ago, and despite the iPhone being a phone, not a tablet, the site's editors believe the Newton is the more innovative of the two Apple products. The two devices were tied over four rounds, but in the 'Special Powers' element, where the iPhone was praised for its iPod capability, the Newton countered with its ability to play MP3s, connect to iTunes and 'its ability to work as a phone' because 'Blam! Not even the iPhone can do that.'"

Chrome is a better browser than anything else coming pre-installed these days, including Firefox 3.x. And I find it funny you noted Adobe Flash player being installed. If it's not, the average user is going to install it in the first 5 minutes anyway. Pretty useful item in the post-1993 internet world.

Google Desktop I'll agree is a pain, very slow, very useless.

Ubuntu is a desktop operating system. Joe Blow doesn't care about anything you've posted. And if you're considering Ubuntu for anything but a desktop computer, then you're doing it wrong.

I doubt Apple is concerned with how aesthetically pleasing the store is after hours when no one can purchase their products.
