I work at a printing press in NY (Outside of the city in Nassau on Long Island) and my boss has an iphone. A co-worker of mine also had an iphone for a while before he gave it up for a cheaper plan. Maybe the refusal to sell only applies in the city proper?

To make decisions? I can predict what my father will order in a restaurant and do it far more in advance than seven seconds but I don't see how that detracts from his ability to decide what he wants to eat. So he likes bacon and actively chooses to have some whenever he's in a restaurant. Does the fact that I know this prove that he can't decide for himself? Likewise, does the fact that a piece of machinery "know" I like to and do click a button with my left hand prove I can't decide for myself which hand to use? I've known for a long time now that I use my brain to think and make decisions. Were the people who are involved with the free will debate not aware of this? Or do their definition of free will state that the decision making process must not involve using one's brain at all? I love how Scott Adams has managed to turned part of the scientific community into brain-dead scandalous attention whores with his bullshit about the non-existence of free will. He doesn't even define it, and people are scrambling to prove him correct.
