Yeah, Google do not prevent you from installing anything you want on your phone, they leave that kind of evil to the manufacturers and carriers instead...
Well, the "proof" for the Iraqi WMDs that poor Colin Powell was forced to present to the U.N. sure were well-crafted so they are probably very apt at forging stuff themselves... maybe ask them?
Including the children in the car, which a different American soldier had to practically beg to be allowed to save?
The "RPG" has been found to be a zoom lens on the camera of the killed Reuters photographer. And people were AFAIK practically required to walk around armed there.
Stop defending the indefensible, or get a job working for NAMBLA for a little challenge.
No, but since the app store terms mandate that any interpreted code (using non-Apple interpreters) be shipped with the app and not downloaded, the usefulness would be very limited.
Suicide rate at Foxconn: 1.8 per million workers, suicide rate in the United States (IIRC) 3+ per million workers, maybe Americans should try and get Foxconn jobs instead...:)
No, VHS won because it was cheaper, was used by more manufacturers (hence choice) and you could fit a 90-minute movie on a tape. The porn myth is not relevant for success in the majority market.
Ah, a religious fandroid. See, some of us want to use stuff that simply works, the same way we do not drive cars with a hand-crank, manual choke, servo-less steering, and we use GPS instead of struggling with paper maps. Joining your Google-y eyed crowd just means being derided for having the "wrong" phone if our Android phone has problems, and it does not take many instance of such arrogance to drive people into the safer hands of the iPhone.
Yes, we need an "artist exploitation watchlist", so that Elvis Costello and Motörhead don't have to go out and publically WARN their fans against buying over-priced box sets made to line the pockets of record company executives.
Generally, like most commercial entities, Apple frown at unlicensed (aka, suitable for piracy) emulators. So those that exist are typically licensed ones, like the Spectrum, C64 and Atari ones.
I know Copernicus was the first to create a comprehensive model, that does not refute that others thought about it before him. In fact, Copernicus built on the works of Arab scholars:
Several other Muslim astronomers, most notably those following the Maragha school of astronomy, developed non-Ptolemaic planetary models within a geocentric context that were later adapted by the Copernican model in a heliocentric context."
In 1038, Ibn al-Haytham described the first non-Ptolemaic configuration in The Model of the Motions. His reform was not concerned with cosmology, as he developed a systematic study of celestial kinematics that was completely geometric. This in turn led to innovative developments in infinitesimal geometry.[30] His reformed model was the first to reject the equant[31] and eccentrics,[32] separate natural philosophy from astronomy, free celestial kinematics from cosmology, and reduce physical entities to geometrical entities. The model also propounded the Earth's rotation about its axis,[33] and the centres of motion were geometrical points without any physical significance, like Johannes Kepler's model centuries later.[34]
As for your looters, blaming the religion for that is like blaming Christianity for sexual abuses in the Catholic church.
When did workers receiving a salary 20% above regional average become "slaves"? Slaves are usually captured and work for nothing, not people who willingly leave their subsistence farming communities in order to make money for their families back home. See the difference?
Internships are also common in America, I thought you had abolished slavery? And Foxconn factories are less hellholes than the subsistence farms they fled to get experience and work.
US & EU manufacturing is not a bad idea in itself, but the cheap consumers and high volumes needed force the companies' hands. Even Samsung recently moved their camera manufacturing from Korea to China to save money. Plus if you really mean that, you would need to move all manufacturing - parts and assembly - here. Do you think there are enough workers in the West to man those jobs?
But everyone blames Apple, it's the chic thing to do. 300 workers at an XBox assembly line threaten suicide? Blame Apple! Sony upping the price on Whitney's albums after her death, including on iTunes? Blame Apple! I am waiting for Apple to get the blame for the swine flu epidemic and Steven Tyler's horrid rendition of the U.S. national anthem next.
Nonsense, there were Muslim astronomers experimenting with heliocentric models back in the 13th century, for instance. Much of what we have retained from the Greeks is stuff that was saved by Muslim scholars. We were introduced to the "arabic" numerals through Arabs translating the Indian mathematics and trading this knowledge to the "roman numerals"-using westerners.
Why this insistence on some revisionist "Christians are the sole caretakers of science" crap?

What market are you talking about? Apple governs their platform like Sony governs PSN, Microsoft governs the XBox etc.
And there are plenty of Fandroids who will tell you that Apple is not dominating in the mobile OS market...

Yeah, it's one of the 20 features that together make up a design patent. Focusing on a detail like that is significant because... what?

At least if you side-load apps. Google's Android Marketplace terms also ban porn, but are enforced after the fact, it seems.
Next time you need to buy military aircraft, keep this in mind and look across the Atlantic for some non-US options. Just sayin'.
There are other countries that have switched to the U.S. dollar: stable democracies like... Zimbabwe.

Not supported in Chrome though... but yes, some Javascript based solution using timers and the visibility CSS property...
Ever been to the "Chrome app store" with a different browser than Chrome? Case closed.
I think both the Samsung Inyourdreams and Motorola Yeahright do. :)

And how do you argue that the iPod and iTunes Store has not had a significant impact in the music industry?
You know, arguing your point? A lost art, I know. Maybe I am asking too much of the Slashcrowd. Go back to your Linux toys.
Meaningless to you, meaningful to those that award them.
That you fail to see the significance of the iPod, iTunes and the iTunes Store to the music market just exposes your own ignorance.

Plus the "EA Spouse" debacle of course led the entire Slashdot herd to boycotting Electronic Arts' games.
No? Inhuman working conditions are not an issue as long as they get to play Dragon Age?
