>That, and not every company is out to gouge their customer to the maximum amount possible.

I never thought I'd hear that phrase with regards to Apple.
Pardon me while I go look out my window, I need to check for flying pigs.

How will I know if my behavioral patterns have been stolen?
Given the amount of time I spend on the interwebs , will I suddenly have a life?

"Holy shit! Where am I? Could this be the fabled Out of Doors? OH, GOD! Someone must have stolen my behavioral patterns!"

On second thought, maybe this new stealing of behavioral patterns could turn out to be a good thing....

I'm scared for MS to be 'hardcore' about anything.

As I recall, the last time they were really 'hardcore' about something, they gave us Internet Explorer.
Rarely do good things come from this company, and when they get serious about it, it just makes it all the worse.

Of course, I could be wrong, but they've been slacking off hardcore in the area of UI design for a while now, Win7 is a vast improvement but I still find the UI frustrating for some simple tasks and they've been doing GUI desktop OSs' for over 20 years. (Of course, my distaste for the Windows interface is likely just a byproduct of me being on Linux so long, and thus little more then a personal preference instead of being an actual criticism...)

What I'm trying to say, I suppose, is that I don't trust them to develop a UI that takes advantage of the unique form-factor of a tablet, and given the lackluster desktop UI that they seem to think is the best around even if they get 'hardcore' about this, I don't expect them to ever understand why they shouldn't just warm-over their normal Windows UI like they always do for tablets. Furthermore, they're still essentially the same 'design by comittee' culture that things like 'Clippy' and 'MS Bob' originated from. I'd be glad to see them get creative with a tablet UI, but I'm also frightened and (maybe slightly nauseated) to think about what would result if they did. But, to their credit, I'm really fascinated with the 'Tiles' concept they've come up with for Windows Phone 7.
So maybe it won't be so bad, maybe they've realized the need to get creative if they want to compete. Nevertheless,I think I'll just wait and see where this 'Android-on-the-tablet' idea is going...

We all know this isn't going to work until the third version, anyway. :-)

I don't wonder why everybody hates us, that's blatantly obvious

I do wonder why there has yet to be a collective "Fuck you" to us, though.... the minute the EU or another country tells the US to shove off will be a happy day in my book!

I see. Thank you for clearing that up for me!

Can anyone explain to me why so many of the above posts are modded "Troll"? I must be misunderstanding what the term means because I see very little trollish activity here (maybe I'm getting it confused with flamebait?)

Yeah, but I think IE6 is really gonna hurt his chances....
....just saying

Well, I for one was hoping that the MPAA and the money-grubbing, "milk it for all it's worth", "pander to the lowest common denominator" mentality for making movies that it supports would be gone by then.

*sigh*

We wishful thinkers can be even more naive than the conspiracy theorists sometimes....

Hell if I know!
You can read the page where it says it here, though:

I was reading the accessibility page on recovery.gov and found this:

So... what frequency does that leave? Could anyone tell me what I'm missing here?
I would think anything lower than 55Hz would also be lower than 2Hz, and anything greater than 2Hz would be greater than 55Hz, so.... I'm a little confused.
(And, yes, I did ask my friend Google, although if anyone could give me a gentle push toward a search term better than "Hertz", I'd be appreciative.)

So, instead of Apple being a jerk and rejecting iPhone apps, it's going to be Apple and Palm rejecting iPhone apps?
Huh.... I wonder how that will work out?
