Where I'm from, monthly prices on prepaid are way higher than on contract, and contract prices don't change whether you take a phone with it or not. From a customer perspective, it would be stupid not to take a phone in that case. Just protecting the "stupid masses" here - I agree that the deals are problematic, but you can't blame people if all they can choose from is to their disadvantage.

I don't fully disagree, but it seems likely that the math guys took a different approach than everybody else: They followed the actual rule laid out. Laws have been written in a language of its own forever and the general perception is that it isn't understandable by someone who hasn't devoted his life to it. Secondly, people tend to make their lifes easier by jumping to conclusions. Since protecting children is really popular, it's quite easy to imagine that people jump to the conclusion that this case is more likely to be illegal than legal. That doesn't say anything about their potential intelligence. It might indicated they're scared to actually try to understand the rules. Which I don't think is far fetched. Math on the other hand enforces a mind set of rule following (that's not necessarily good). In short - I find it more likely that this statistic tells us more about how people percive law - not that much about intelligence. Then, there's also the question of what you should answer - I wouldn't be surprised about someone answering "it's most illegal" just in case someone gets back to them with "pedophile" if they don't.

iBook will not do it and it doesn't look like this has changed.

The article says, the macbook is actually able to do just that.
