What's that you say skippy?
The porn is trapped in the free world!

Back to dream time.

Profit figures like that may impress you, they are indeed uncommon. But we've all seen stock fall that quickly. If the stock doesn't fall back again then that will impress me. The seeds of the fall as always are in the success. It's easy to get market share when you've got little to begin with.

People are buying these products as fashion accessories. Many ipads have been bought in UK, the damn things haven't hit the shops yet. So no one is buying based on need or experience..
Fashions change.
Particularly when utility problems become obvious..
Crocs were everywhere 2 years ago, but they tear your feet up.
Toyotas seemed unstoppable, until they seemed unstoppable.

The Ip* are no different. We all know the drawbacks I'm not going to list them here. absent flash will be more obvious on the ipad.
Even if the OS updates eventually seem to add functionality that hackers have had for years. Apart from an app to run code.
That doesn't cover the point of the OP.

Steve Jobs is a:
puritanical bigot - porn is no good for you so you can't have it.
hypocrite - playboy etc
retard - use a browser like people normally do and you get all the porn you want /b/

Count your lucky stars! BT in the UK has a total monopoly, kept that way by governments that want a one stop shop for all their eavesdropping and censoring needs. You cant even change isp in uk without going through a year of bt as both network and isp. Therefore their service is predictably an abomination. There are no market forces involved. All isps charge at same price, regardless of data rate. All data rates claimed to be "upto 20mb" a meaningless unit as /. Will realise. Actual peak rate averages at 4. You will be charged as if you get 20 even though you get 4. No market forces again. No reason for improvement of service. Why invest when you can charge like the speed is 4* reality. Throttleing and excess charges.- Totally out of control. They sell unlimited or limited. But throttle everything anyway. Regardless what you pay for. Fraud. Dont sell me 12 apples.... Correcting for car analogy - please hold.... Dont sell me 4 cars then say- "you cant use 2 of those cars you now own, that will cause traffic jams thats selfish. Also i've already sold the same 4 to someone else. On the basis that you're not likely to both use them at same time. So they have "fair use" of the cars too." I'm calling bullshit on that! On a personal note. BT are currently threatening to sue me and ruin my credit rating. After disconnecting me twice when i was fully paid up. Takes a full week to get reconnected. They failed to fulfil their side of the contract. I switched to 3g. Wrote a strongly worded letter to the boss and they refunded me. 4 months later they started billing me again for a service im not using because i had to get another supply. Im not paying for what they dont supply and i dont use. That is actual extortion. Demanding money with theats! Try to get by with crap credit rating. But being a corporation they can comit felonies without fear.

Hate to be the one to beak it to ya all. The soviet union lead (as was then) led the space race from the beginning. That was what all the fuss was about. 1st satallite in space -sputnick. (if anyone should have had such a thing it should have been us US) 1st animal in space -ussr 1st human in space -ussr 1st space walk -ussr and for commies they developed all the money making space tech first. Satellites and space walks to fix em. No one ever made a dime from the moon. It was a political target to save face. 1st robot unmanned returned sample takeing. -ussr infinity and beyond.

The original Screenplay was HG Well's war of the worlds. Where the martians die because they forget about bacteria and viruses. Unless the sequels goto bacteria giving a helping hand. They're going to have to think up a whole new plot. When was the last time you saw a new Hollywood movie?
