Wait, do you mean "defunct iOS version" because of your theoretical opt out or because of Android?
If the latter, Google still does tons of iOS apps, and IIRC, there were news articles showing that Google itself makes more money from its iOS apps than its own Android apps/system (yes, I know it's not entirely free.. if companies want to use the Google store, etc., they have to pay).
I think Nests are ridiculously overpriced too... But one cool thing is being able to turn on/off via phone app.. Can any of the cheap ones do that? I admittedly don't even program mine, I just literally turn it on and off.. (first winter in my new house, getting used to how often I turn it on and how high.. USUALLY I turn it off entirely at night..)
You're missing the point that a lot of the other replies are. I don't think he's implying (just like the original article isn't) that the Newton literally introduced it, as in being the first.. But just like many other Apple products, it "introduced" it as in was made known to a wide audience with (arguably) a simpler/more coherent interface.
As for "this product is believed by the state of California to cause cancer", that warning is quite reasonable.
Though it has become a "boy who cried wolf" situation. That and similar warnings are basically EVERYWHERE, including on the entrance to my workplace.
You could argue that that would make people go "oh crap, we need to stop using this".. But nope, not even the hippie organic granola crowd is doing that. (I'm not saying *I* am either..)
Do most people use the twitter app and web page? I guess for *sending* tweets, but I rarely do that.. Mostly, they're sent to me as IMs, that I browse in the Messages app.
I think I've asked this before, but don't remember getting an answer.
I realize people would consider this uglier than existing windmills, but is there a reason something like a chain link fence couldn't be put around windmills as a visual "barrier" to the birds? Seems to me like it would be a visual barrier, yet not actually impede the wind flow much. (Yes, I know small birds can and do fly through chain link fences too.)
Presumably Free is in the name to contrast it with a potential non-free version. Many iOS apps do it that way, though now I think you could use in app purchase to turn off the ads (in the free version) instead.
Even if it was more than a year's worth of house payments, couldn't it theoretically still be a win _if_ the cost of living in Seattle is _even lower_? I'm not saying it necessarily is, I just mean theoretically.
I realize that, that's why I said the "equivalent" of a scanner. Mostly I pointed out that the technology for us, at retail, to read out these codes is pretty much dirt cheap (they're actually under $20 I see)... and the equipment that generates the codes is obviously already in the car.

Huh, the Newton came out in August 1993, not 1998.
Most Republicans vote for pork barrel spending bills for their locales as much as Democrats.
Hey pops, time flies when you get older, huh?
It was almost 4.5 years ago when he died, not "last year".
Ron Paul isn't an honest politician? He votes AGAINST spending measures that would benefit his own constituents.

Yeah, that's at least one too many strikes, for many crimes at least.
Isn't it ironic?

You apparently don't understand what a *design* patent is.
You could make that argument about all crime.
Ironic, since it was founded and is based in Seattle.
Umm, it was in the 50s today. It ain't freaking summer all the time. (I am still wearing shorts, however.)

I think your cats are really dogs. Maybe Russian dogs, even.
heh heh

Yeah, I've wondered why they can't put the equivalent of a $25 ODBII scanner on, and show the codes in human readable terms on the LCD.
That's funny, the 2600 cartridges didn't/don't always connect properly either.
Then why are tons of people from other countries coming to the U.S. for an education?
Why did U.S. residents invent the Internet, etc.?
Really? Don't we have among the safest, if not the safest, food supply in the world?
(Compare to e.g. unregulated food carts in various places of the world.)
