One thing that always bugs me is that despite being weeks late 95% of the time, when Slashdot covers Apple events they always post before the Q&A or speaker is even done. Thus the discussion gets flooded with random misinformed comments before it is even over.
In the exact same Q/A an iPhone owner said he couldn't replicate it in the building to which Jobs said that it doesn't really apply to areas with good signal. Like ya know... the Apple Campus. Way to cherry pick. Or do you actually think Apple just made that video up and lied in a verifiable way to the assembled media?
I thought it was lefties who had the problem... I have yet to hear righties with this issue. But hey I'm not saying it can't happen, just that you seem to be a niche of a niche at this point. No phone will suit everybody even the Jezuz Phone.
In the Q&A Jobs specifically apologized to those who have been effected. Yes he did say that they were a small number of customers, but he did say he was sorry for those effected. And hey there is still more than a week to get a full refund, seems fairly straightforward to me
I think you can still be a troll who abuses the system even if you ship tons of product. Certainly Nokia and Apple deserve value for their innovations, but their battle amounts to Nokia wanting to steal Apple's interface and Apple wanting to steal Nokia's GSM patents.
You got it! Apple for one likely wanted to use these to support their case against Nokia and as a defense as well. The way patents are given these days; a pioneering company like Palm likely has many broad patents that Nokia is "infringing" upon. And yes both Nokia and Apple are patent trolls looking to get a free lunch.
Well if you sell a title to Mac users you should support it. I would pose the question: What does anybody care what some random trolling AC dick says? Anybody, regardless of plat deserves value for their money. Jackass.
Were they the guys behind the neverendingly delayed UT3? I know it wasn't the biggest hit on release, but the UT style is something I always associate with Linux gaming.
On Windows for sure, on Mac its's pretty decent. Pretty on par with Chrome (Mac) and way beyond Opera and Firefox. Of course that is on Mac. Opera and Firefox seem to work much better in Ballmer land than Steve-o-ville.
The irony is that with how mismanaged they usually are through poor maintenence (hey as long as it bring in the $$) and tweaks meant to shorten yellows, you had better hope you don't have a license plate on you're butt. The shortening of yellow lights, and the random sight of cameras by (admitedly speders) cause tons of accidents thanks to quickly applied breaks and the ensuing rearending- sometimes into an intersection (t-bones are the most fatal type of accident). I wish cars would drive slower in my neighborhood, but I don't want to have to report and accident every week either.
It's only extortion if he turns around and tries to sell it back at a absurd price. Assuming he keeps it I imagine he's in the clear. Though there may be other laws that deal with this as well. That said it isn't a copyrighted name or a trademark, and it is the name of a public office, so I think he will be just fine. Legally that is, the cops are gonna PISSED though.
Many people have been killed by being rear-ended thanks to drivers being afraid to get a ticket and slamming our their breaks. I'm deeply sorry for your loss, and I will not ever support unsafe driving, but the issue here is one in support of the cause of safety, not opposed to it. I realize with what happened in your family that might be hard to see, but as a non-speed I have seen 2 accidents myself caused by these very camera. Add in the fact that lights are sometimes shortened to dangerious length and you have a recipe for a lot of dead folks killed in the name of the greed of the states/cities/ and municipalities involved.
It may be unpopular, but yes the constiution does trump all else. It is the law of land. If you or anyone else find it to be defective in any way I suggest you urge an Amendment be passed. What I think you will find however is that the vast majority of those who follow this issue are aware of the massive new dangers provided by drivers slamming their breaks, the huge payout to PRIVATE firms from the ticket a person gets, and all other kinds of shaddy tomfoolery. Look into it and would imagine you will see why it isn't just speeders, but everyone on the road who should oppose these schemes. Just the fact that the make the roads more deadly should be reason enough to ban them. Google it friend.
Geez with the lack of respect you have for the principals of our laws and democracy I really wish you had stayed over there. Beat up demonstrators? You go to fucking jail, as it looks like that prick officer will.
I don't think anybody is disputing that sometimes violence is needed. But attacking people on bikes in timesquare is pretty different. I pray that you understand that as well.

You responded to the wrong dude I think.
Somehow I think you might have difficulty fitting through the stairwell of mom's basement. Going outside is such a bummer eh?

Well they "lost" one to Gizmondo months ago, thats field testing in my book.
Worth noting, true or not Jobs claimed in the Q&A that that story is "bull". Who knows, but it certainly calls that rumor into question.
Seriously any BeHead owes it to themselves to check out Haiku. It is really the only unknown OS that seems to really have a strong value proposition.

Flamebait? Ohh Slashdot you never let me down.

You sir make Slashdot proud. Rock on yo.

The thinks he sticking it to the man. Whether you agree or not he's certainly pissed them off and made their lives harder.

Wow thats very cynical. There is nothing wrong with noting the benefits of a healthy friendly workplace. Some people find the negative in everything!

By needed I mean to detain a violent subject. But only the least possible.
