If they become pure data machines then the data will become the primary revenue source and voice will be subsidized by it. Put the cost of operating the network on the data plans and data plans will suddenly no longer be the 'cheap' way to communicate.
Judging from sales, the majority doesn't care about how high the walls of the garden are as long as it works for them. If it doesn't, the majority being a pragmatic bunch, move on to another phone. Only/.ers and a few bloggers throw a hissy fit about this stuff.
When has a company considering something as illegal ever stopped someone on slashdot from doing it? Considering something illegal is one of the most surefire ways of making sure something gets done by a slashdotter. Remember all those BR key signatures?
Unless someone wants to use it to make an inane point about Apple and needs them to be the tyrannical evil overlord with squads of turtlenecked ninjas ready to punish anyone who dares disobey Lord Jobs. Then Apple considering something illegal will make/. suddenly very respectful of the law.
It's nice to find someone who understands that coffee houses (Starbucks, as much as I loathe to, included) include the 'rent' for your seat in the price of their coffee. (Much like bars and their drink prices, but bars get a pass on this as they aren't as "pretentious" or "intellectual" and "hip" as the coffee house.)
A business that is in the business of providing a social gathering space and a nice environment while selling only a cup or two an hour (or less) to each patron who may stay there for hours on end has to make money somehow.
If you don't like 'overpriced' coffee and complain bitterly about coffee house prices then go to McDonald's, get their McCafe', and go about your business (as I doubt you'll want to linger there long). If you understand what you're paying for and take the time to enjoy everything that comes with the purchase, well, you know what you are doing and don't need anymore advice.
If you really want to see cognitive dissonance see the crowd that defends "stealing" (cue pedants in 5... 4... 3...) any media they want which also rabidly defends the sanctity of the holy GPL (PBURMS).
But that doesn't inspire Apple Panic nearly as well as saying the mean ol' turtleneck Nazis are coming to take your apps, from your cold, dead, hands (after they rape your dog and shoot your spouse).
It seems strange, well it should seem strange, that the public considers Asperger's a syndrome while the dumb jock who can't count to eleven without taking a shoe off is considered normal if not the pinnacle of human kind.
Score low on the social scale and you've got a syndrome. Score low on the higher order thinking scale and you're normal.
The people who love to memorize train and bus schedules are probably the descendants of the people that first figured out things like how to predict eclipses.
"...we're not allowed to watch porn;" Not being able to buy porn apps through the app store is not the same as not being allowed to watch porn on it at all.
"...we're not allowed to develop software using tools that Steve Jobs does not approve of; " You can use any tools that you wish. You are limited, however, if you want to sell through Apple's app store. Ad hoc is no holds barred.
Some might be slightly resistant to ingested oil but not enough so to survive it without some help. Save enough of these and then someone can patent BP-Ready(tm)(r)(patent pending) animals, though they'd have to make sure Monsanto wasn't up to it already.
If you (as a more general sense then specific) are willing to pay the actual costs of your data usage while tethered then there will be someone offering it. If you expect to run a house full of computers and net appliances all streaming, downloading, or torrenting something on a $30/month unlimited wireless data plan it seems quite unreasonable to expect to get either the unmetered access or the low price.
The cell networks can barely handle phone data connections in high density population areas. It doesn't take much imagination to see what would happen when people start using those connections for full home use.
Rereleased rarely are ever entirely faithful to the original. Cues are changed or omitted. The Patton rerelease on cd is a re-recording, nothing of the original from the movie.
Use album price for the downloads not the total price for the individual tracks. Buying each one independently when you're getting the whole album going to cost you up to 50% more depending on the number of tracks on the album.

Isn't everyone, who is alive, already a potential murderer?

Retailers' Open APIs

This one actually has a verb.
An "s" at the end of a word does not necessitate an apostrophe in most cases.
Please think of the Grocers. Stop stealing all their apostrophes.

Whoah, you didn't warn me about the 's' at the end of a word there. And you were talking about grocer's of all thing's.
Cruise control is a necessity whenever random brings up "Truth and Reconciliation Suite". Doesn't matter what sort of vehicle.

It's from Apple, it's an option, therefore it is mandatory.
But that doesn't inspire Apple Panic nearly as well as saying the mean ol' turtleneck Nazis are coming to take your apps, from your cold, dead, hands (after they rape your dog and shoot your spouse).
Umm, yeah... I'm going to need you to come in on Saturday.
Don't forget that you can get Android phones Buy-One-Get-One. People just love their BOGOs.

So DRM has gone the way of "bricked" and "literally" then.
Maybe the French were on to something with managing their language.

So you're not going to vote Pawlenty/Bachman in '12?
Obligatory "But Apple has a monopoly on Apple products!" /froth_at_mouth.
Was that the one where the guy was out getting a hotdog and his parents were staying in a motel or somesuch?
That was definitely a WTH?? then WTF!! moment.
I'd suggest never watching Law and Order: SVU. The perps come out looking better than the cops and lawyers.
Your negligence in preparing for and handling this scenario, however, would be cause for intervention.
"Free Enterprise" does not mean "free from all responsibility".
