They are going to have Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, and Kevin Spacey act as the new promoters and use them in commercials committing sins by using Mac computers
This will go over just as well as the Bill Gates / Jerry Seinfeld commercials
If it is truly "safe" as they say, would they be willing to quarantine themselves and inject themselves with it? If their answer is no, then they are full of it.
Wow, what a creative name they came up with. Knowing M$, they probably thought the problem with Vista was it's name and not the O/S and this is their solution.
From TFA: "Her complaint contains some very disturbing allegations, including one that labels attempted to contact her then eight-year-old daughter under false pretenses without Andersen's permission."
RIAA: Hello little girl...
Chris Hansen: I'm Chris Haaaaansen... what are you doing? Why don't you have a seat over there.
Netflix did an excellent job of separating themselves from Apple. They didn't punish their current subscribers by charging them extra for this service (as Apple did for iPod touch owners with the new apps).
Companies who weren't ruled by morons encouraged consumers to create calendars with their cars in it. The referred to this bizarre practice as "free advertising".
if someone made a picture making fun of the King which was subsequently indexed by Google Image Search and made available to anyone on the internet, what would they do? Shut down Google?
If the words on the slight are very very limited, and only to serve as a cue for the presenter, I don't think the audience will focus on the slide itself, but rather the presenter if he is presenting properly. That is of course unless there is a nude picture of Jessica Alba on the slide.
Another reason? How about the prevention of "air rage" from people beating the shit out of other people for talking the whole time next to them on their cell for a 4 hour flight when you have a headache and just want to sleep?
Ah, I thought you were balking at the concepts, not necessarily the terminology. Oh well. Within the usability community it is a well-known topic, brought up in Alan Cooper's "The Inmates are Running the Asylum" book. It's a pretty well-known classification but maybe not in those terms.
I work as a usability consultant. Your post is the epitome of someone who is a computer apologist. You may feel overcoming difficulty with something that is not intended to be difficult, but the vast majority of Average Joe's are not apologists, they are survivors.
In other news, research has shown that eating McDonalds everyday can make someone fat!
Hasn't it been widely known already that it is a bad idea to just read to an audience what is written on the slides?
It is an effective tool if what is written on the slides is a supplement or "checklist" to cue the presenter on the topics rather than being read word for word.
But it seems like you're making the assumption that everyone out there wants all that "extra functionality" that the iPhone has when many people in the world just want an MP3 player with nothing else
The fact that those people exist (those that only want an MP3 player) is reason enough to believe that the iPhone won't kill the iPod, especially considering price and, at the moment, the fact that you would have to sign a contract with Cingular.
Hmm, let me think, I want an MP3 player
Option 1: Buy the iPhone for 600 dollars or whatever it costs
Option 2: Buy an ipod for a lot cheaper
You're right, I would go with Option 1 - so long iPods!
Then maybe they will set a precedent such that I can sue coworkers who invite me to meetings as "required" that I don't have any reason to be at. That will make them thing twice when creating the invitee list.

This is nothing that hasn't been done before. The Denver Broncos' head coach is a living example of this.

I'm sorry you don't understand English. There's nothing hard to understand about what I wrote.

To Verizon "service" means "no service" so this is not surprising.
This is somehow going to turn into a scam for airlines to make more money.
Pretty soon, when you go to buy a ticket, you will probably see something like this...
Round Trip STL - JFK Option 1: Seating section w/ cell phone usage allowed - $400 Option 2: Seating section without cell phone usage allowed - $600
Thanks for flying with us!
It's going to be like smoking/non-smoking sections in restaurants, only with a cost association.
I want to gauge my eyes out everytime I stumble across Wired's new design. I'm actually willing to give up that sense because of them.
I love when I get the BOD memory leak. It's like a game. Can I read the error before the computer reboots itself or not?
The 'harm' is violation of 17 USC 106(1) - their exclusive right to copy their works.
Oh yeah? Well, according to paragraph 7, sentence 3, word 8 of the Geneva Convention..."the".
Google gets away with it because their ads are unobtrusive, and nobody minds seeing (occasionally useful) ads on the side of their Gmail inbox.

Or people use Firefox and get plugins that allow them to remove the ads like Customize Google, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/74

The real reason for this restriction is to give them a reason to leave the computer and go take a shower /end of stereotype jab
