With the rejection of an app because it said "Android" in it, it makes me wonder if there's any commitment on their part to support device interoperability (even if just on the app level)... And that question COULD hurt them on the business end (and the power users who are on the fence)...
I think the answer is pretty obvious. Apple generally doesn't desire to support device interoperability unless absolutely necessary (i.e.- finally caving in and making a Windows version of iTunes).
Okay, let's say that you are right and it should be on Fox. That would only make them more legitimate, as I doubt that any other network would openly air a critical story about their own boss. I should ask, what the hell are you smoking? No network, Fox or any of the others, would air a story critical about their own boss (at least without putting a positive spin on it)
That would imply that everyone on/. is an idiot. You are just one of the majority.
You think it isn't?
If you would learn reading comprehension 101, you'd have realized that I was implying that they were no less biased than the other news corporations, not that they were not biased.
Well, then you're not paying attention to my comment; please see my sig. CBS, CNN, and MSNBC are also all owned by one of these megacorporations.
Paid attention to your comment just fine. You specifically said Fox. What makes them any worse than any of the other news corporations. At least you know where they stand. Some are much worse, such as MSNBC who are all over the place. At least Fox is very consistent in their bias and thus are easy to filter.

Yours shall, I hope, be the only troll comment to which I reply, mostly because you're logged in, and most of the others are anonymous cowards. Plus, yours seemed like the most fun to poop on.
Typical non-committal answer that could well be attributed to a liberal who is embarrassed by the people representing them in Congress. Or perhaps you are being honest, and are hoping for a cause that won't happen anytime soon. Either way, your naivety is cute.
And for the record, at least I have the balls to post under my UID (never post AC). Your sig is hilarious, because it's obviously set up as an obvious counter to any argument you disagree with. You disagree with me, hence, I must have not read your comment and kthxbye must indicate that thus you seem to have won the argument before it even started. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this is a common thing you refer back to in any of your rebuttal posts.
Well, iPhone users already have such a mechanism. It's called iTunes Store, and pretty much if you are a developer and anger the Steve Jobs Gods, your app will forever be doomed to purgatory (as well as hacked iPhones)
I guess this would make the world's desktop support personnel police?
Well, in some states they are required to have PI licenses (at the very least, TX IIRC), and they also check your computer for child porn before returning it to you if you are getting your system serviced.
And this is likely why I'll never get into buying ebooks, as geeky as I am. I can just go to the used book store in town and pay about 4 bucks (or just trade in old books) to get the same book I'd spend 10-15 bucks on an ebook.
Surprised they own Gamespy and Hulu. Then again, Gamespy is garbage now since they changed up their site (as if they were somehow awesome before though) so I wouldn't care one way or another but Hulu is actually a pretty good site IMO.
LOL at random idiot #105,908 who thinks that Fox is biased and yet I'm sure that CBS, CNN, and MSNBC are somehow great news organizations. You have to take anything you hear or see on the News with a grain of salt, no matter who you get it from. They are all businesses first and thus first they are going to care about their bottom line before they care about the actual news. Let me guess, registered Democrat?
Unless you are dividing Jack Bauer by zero, in which case you should be fully prepared to get shot in the face; just after he screams "Give me the name!"

Comic books don't count.

That's some pretty harsh punishment for buggy software. LOL

And as I said before...why would his own network trash him. It'd make much more sense if it were on an opposing network. Good try though.
No skin off my back, I've got karma to burn against assholes such as him or you.
Or Jack Bauer is being divided by Chuck Norris.
If that happened, we'd all be pretty much fucked.
You got my UID wrong.

I guess the appropriate ending would be...kthxbye
ahahahahahahahahaha...sorry, but that made me decorate the computer monitor with Dr. Pepper

in other words, lets ban stupidity?
Well, that'd be the end of /.
I guess this would make the world's desktop support personnel police?

So what you are saying is...we are stupid thanks to Steve Jobs. I KNEW IT!!!
Yeah and he's funny, stupid, an asshole, and ironic all at once.

Must be nice to be able to read a full book in two weeks. Must not have children

Why would his own network trash him? It'd be more likely to be on CNN or MSNBC (MSNBC being the more likely of the two) would have that story.
I was trying to be conservative in my estimate. Perhaps we can say, he only killed 100 people in conventional ways?
Unless you are dividing Jack Bauer by zero, in which case you should be fully prepared to get shot in the face; just after he screams "Give me the name!"
WOOOSH!!!
Firefly reference ftw...someone mod this gorram person up.
Apparently Jack Bauer was not factored into the equation. In less than 8 days (seasons) he has killed almost 100 people.
Damn, I think Bill Gates can jump higher than me...that makes me sad, considering I'm in pretty good shape.
