The funny thing is that "old-timer" Protestants often destroyed or vandalized Catholic paintings and statues precisely for the same reason: They were considered examples of idolatry. Just go to e.g. Malta and see the faceless statues in some of the old churches there.
Why do you think the strict interpretations present in Salafism, Wahhabism etc. are practiced in other Muslim countries? Apart from in Saudi-Arabia and Yemen there is hardly any such bans on portraying humans in the Muslim world. Heck, haven't you seen all the people waving placards with pictures of Khomeini in Iran?
Iphone OS and Symbian S60, Symbian S60 has no such restrictions, I can run unsigned code on any S60 device.
But to access certain services it needs to be signed, though any nerdy enough user can sign it on their own.
Iphone OS and Android, Android has no such restrictions, I can run unsigned code on any Android device.
If you are a nerd and root it and install your own build, if the operator has installed a version that restricts you to signed apps (AT&T's latest shenanigans if you managed to spot that while busy hunting for iPhone-hate opportunities).
The constitution regulates what the Government can and cannot do. You would know this if you went to your average newspaper and demanded that they should print an article you wrote.
You have the right of free speech (with limitations, apparently it is bad karma to threaten to kill your president for instance), but private commercial entities have no obligation to help you in this endeavor.
The lack of a "file system app" on the iPhone has given rise to a bunch of options like AirShare - iTunes does not enter into the picture (other than as a sync program, much like Palm's HotSync back in the day).
Having used a Sony PSP with its "mount as a drive, but I refuse to recognize a file as a movie unless it is in this particular folder" shenanigans, I prefer having sync software that knows what it does. As do all the non-nerds who buy an iPhone in order to do fun things. Navigating folder structures is not fun for the average consumer.
... if the phone operator allows it, otherwise you there, too, need to "jailbreak" by rooting and installing another build. There was at least one operator/phone combo where the supplied Android disallowed anything that was not from the Marketplace.
Then get an unrestricted device. As vocal as some "freedom lovers" are there should be a market for such a thing. Put your money where your mouth is!
Wait, what was that? OpenMoko failed? It cannot be, there is a very vocal group who insist on freedom being good! What do you mean they kept buying locked-in devices instead? Why? So they could have something to whine about?
In addition to not providing a link to such a device (the $500 or less laptop to match a MacBook), I noticed you did not list "battery life", a very significant factor for laptops. "Standard VGA" is a dying standard, DisplayPort can be converted to such things if necessary. And I guess it ships with Intel integrated grapics instead of the nVidia card in the Mac?
But feel free to link to such a machine. I could only find second-hand laptops at that spec and price point when I searched.
I thought it was generally agreed upon that VHS won because of three factors: Porn, more liberal licensing to manufacturers and that the tapes were actually long enough to record a full movie, despite Jack Valetti's gnashing teeth and portents of doom.
This is perhaps also a BMW thing: BMW will never produce a car to compete with low-end cars like the Fiat 500 simply because it would dilute their brand. People buy expensive BMW cars precisely because they are expensive. It's called "flaunting your wealth".
Then again, Macs are not that horribly more expensive than a PC with the same-ish hardware specs (but less bundled software) despite what old myths and Microzombies claim.
Libertarian dogma that ignores the advances brought by collective solutions like interpersonal trade and even cities. Do you selfish apes never tire of using the safeties and niceties of the modern civilization to pine for the self-sufficiency of the stone age?
Read some Adam Smith instead of Ayn "Freaky" Rand - or even Aleister Crowley.
Should we count the soldiers who raped and massacred in My Lai (and countless other killings of civilians in Vietnam) as Christians here? How about sodomizing Catholic priests? Persecution and murder of Jews were carried about by all branches of Christians during and after WW2 - in fact, Jews were disliked until some doomsday cults (believing that a requirement for the Rapture was that the Jews rebuilt Solomon's temple) started to gain influence among the haters.
Slashdot Mirror
An amazing flamebait, riddled with outdated information (what "obscure prorietary hardware"?) and pure bile. Next time, try actual content.
Apple dares to disagree.
Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR technology
Software is moving to the web/cloud, are you stuck in the past? File transfer? There is a shed-load of apps for that.
No it wasn't: The producers want economic compensation, the person paying money to see it and disliking it want economic compensation. Not off topic.

Not to mention that Microsoft literally gives out the dev tools for free (Visual Studio Express)
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition and above or Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, Standard Edition or above (Express Editions are not supported). But thanks for playing!
I do not need to know (except the extension "magic") because Apple has this sync program - iTunes - that takes care of all that for me...
Folders is what people used to organize stuff before search engines (like Spotlight), I guess.
Iphone OS and WinMo 6, WinMo 6 has no such restrictions, I can run unsigned code on any WinMo 6 device.

So, mostly for nerds, as expected.

Android allows this out of the box.

Why compare apples to oranges? Windows and Mac OS X are comparable, and neither sets any restrictions on what tools you use.
iPhone OS and Windows Mobile/Windows Phone 7 Series is comparable, and both set such restrictions in place.
If they stop enlisting the politicians will just reinstate the draft. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

You have a terrible misspelling of Qualcomm there.

Beta lived on happily in the professional market.
Last I heard HP had canceled the Slate, so they too realized what you realized. :)
(or they pondered what you were pondering just to get a Pinky and the Brain reference in there.)

Remember, Apple only supports H.264.
As will Microsoft, in IE 9.
You pimply nerds need to realize your precious little Ogg-Vorbis-Theora plaything is dead.

Yeah, because AT&T is not at all about control. A phone is as open as the phone company lets it be.
Yes, that was why Mao ordered farm implements turned into machinery during the Great Leap Forward. Peasants. As in, "mass starvation of".
