Actually, the NYT article says nothing about "Apple allowing Lotus on iPhone (after banning competitor)". In fact, it makes no mention at all of Mail.app. The article is only about IBM making a mobile Safari friendly version of Lotus.
I'm not saying that Sarah Palin's information shouldn't have a higher level of security than a regular citizen. Which is why I believe she shouldn't have been using a Yahoo! account as her primary email address. Her government email probably wouldn't have been as easily hijacked as her Yahoo! email was. As a potential target of actions such as this, she has a responsibility to take advantage of the protections provided to her as Governor.
Actually, I think they're pointing out that government officials shouldn't be using their Yahoo! accounts for government business. Yahoo! isn't known for being terribly secure.
Hacking a citizen's personal email account should be punished. Hacking a governor's/VP candidate's personal email account should be punished any more severely than hacking a regular citizen's personal email account.
I mean, there shouldn't be any government business in there, right?
You mean that company that's been releasing alot of buggy software lately? You know, that company that makes fun of how buggy *other* company's software is?
My statement has nothing to do with children being the most important thing in one's life, and everything to do with children on the no-fly-list being a clear example of people being added to the list without any concern for whether they actually represent a risk.
What can a two-year-old possibly do to get them added to the no-fly-list?
I'm not worried 'about the children'. When a child is added to the no-fly-list, it's pretty obvious that the list is being abused and that there is no process to verify that the person actually represents a risk.
As long as we're banning performance enhancing drugs, we should also be banning performance enhancing technologies.
No ultra-low-resistance suits for swimmers, no special shoes for basketball players, no compound bows for archers, no ultra-light bikes for cyclists...
There may be no such thing as an omnipotent being. Any gods that exist may only be almost-omnipotent beings, or omnipotent-only-from-our-perspective beings.
Dude, it takes the hackers less than a week to jailbreak the iPhone's firmware... in some cases it's been jailbroken *before* Apple released it. It takes Apple *months* to release a new firmware (and, of course, the user has the option to not install the new firmware and wait until it's been jailbroken).
AT&T can't decided what is available in the App Store. At best, they can only make requests.
Stop making excuses for Apple. Even if they have some sort of agreement with AT&T that prevents AT&T customers from tethering, the iTunes store is internationalized to the point that they could easily offer the tethering app to less restrictive countries and not to AT&T customers.
Apparently, the are many 3G providers outside the US which have no problems with tethering your laptop to your phone. This is what people have a problem with: a few backward providers dictating how the rest of the world can use *their* iPhones.
Which is *exactly* why Apple decided to make the App Store the only way to get apps onto the iPhone.
Fortunately, jailbreak offers us some more options for apps and an easier way of installing them.
Battery: I don't have an iPhone, but I have an iPod Touch which I have to charge up every 2 days. If I was also using it as a phone, I would probably have to charge it every day and risk having a dead battery at the end of the day before I get to a charger.
I would think nerds would like to know about a treaty which proposes to search your mp3 player for unauthorized copyright material at international borders.

Maybe not necessarily to allow for election officials to hack them, but perhaps to allow the losing side to claim hacking as an excuse for losing.
If the machine can't adapt to the user's needs, then it *IS* the machine's fault.
Don't most of these auto-DST-switching devices have an option to turn off the auto-DST-switching, to support non-DST locals?
Because it's quite obvious that the big content owners have significant influence over our legal systems.

Exactly!
Seems to me it's become more like 'people enjoy a few of the right of corporations'.

Testing stages? It's been quite clear from the last couple of Apple software releases that there are no testing stages at Apple.
If a service is advertised as "unlimited", then unlimited service is expected.

And a "No Fly" list that is so easily added to that includes children *isn't* a violation of Constitutional rights?

He said nothing about literacy. Poor grammar and an understanding of science are not mutually exclusive.
