...it's because we designers were always thinking of phones as little computers. Though I might be wrong, I'd be willing to bet that the person who thought this up has never worked in designing computers before -- the idea is too fresh and clean.
Either that or some designer was drunk one night and used his phone upside down for hours, and then decided to patent it the next morning.:P
Seriously -- I'm less mad at Viacom's obvious "legal takedown notifier" bot than I am at Google's obvious "legal takedown notifier obeyer" bot.
Makes you think about just how much DMCA garbage that Google is bombarded with these days. Maybe this is one step closer to having all of our court cases decided upon by artificial intelligence!
eh? give me a story about a grandma buying a computer somewhere *that didn't already have Windows installed* and then installing Windows on it, tracking down all the important drivers, and setting up her internet connection, and then WE'LL talk.
goodness -- not to mention the retroactive lawsuits against VHS, if I'm seeing this correctly.
Oh my god -- Ben Franklin's typesetting machine's probably next!
we can buy one only if we spend the money on one for the needy, as well? shite -- I was, and still am, willing to pay nearly 300 for one anyway, so i'd call it a done deal.
I don't get it -- I've used email for more than a decade now, and I've never used an app like outlook or thunderbird. From Yahoo to GMail, and on and on. Who uses things like Outlook outside of a corporate setting, anyway?
reminds me of the story from a long while back about a site touting the greatness of Windows Server Software (might have actually have been a Microsoft site) -- well, somebody gets an error message one day, and it turns out the site was running Apache on Unix.

Just look at shoes with air pumps.

wow -- 200GB storage and nearly two _TB_ of bandwidth for about 10 bucks a month? is this too good to be true?
got any suggestions? I had just started transferring domains over to them, too. :( But if they treat their customers like this, I won't miss them.
unless someone high in their organization needs or uses it -- then, expect them to make allowances.
