How about:
Gee, this might be good news. I've seen people respond cynically to some of these posts about solar and alternative energy because they assume nothing will really be done about it. Well, here's proof of practical application.
The idea is that it shouldn't have a proprietary sync mechanism. It should act as a mass storage device. Shoot, I use a blackberry for work, and even it acts in that manner when I want to add media.
Well, you got lucky, cause that's not their policy.
Not to be absolutist or anything, but Apple is about image. Look at how they market "spaces" (brilliant; virtual desktops have been around in linux for years).
They have to make their customer base feel different, and cool, otherwise they have no reason to pay such exorbitant amounts for systems they could get for a whole lot less cheaper elsewhere.
It's overpriced, and they've bastardized the unix environment. Just try to install a c compiler on OS X... that's right, you have to register with them and install X code (some bs 4gig package)
I'm sorry, anybody that dismisses this as paranoia is just wrong. If you've paid attention at all to all events that have occurred recently, you'd understand that our legislative and executive branches don't give a shit about constitutional protections, and the battle over a neutral internet is just beginning to be waged.
It's astonishing the ease with which our government invades our privacy; anybody else find it a bit ridiculous that Qwest was one of the few telecoms that denied the administration access to a ton of personal information from customers.
This is not about some argument about which OS is better Microsoft of OS X or linux (cause linux clearly wins hands down), but come on Apple...
Really? Check out ram upgrades on their site - about 100 dollars / gig. On newegg or tiger direct for the same crucial ram, it's about 20 dollars / gig (sometimes less).
So absurd... get a grip apple, you're not that cool. Your advertisements are:P
But in all other respects, you are so not legit.

I believe Hodgman said the first of this era.
Who'd like to take bets as to whether that domain is actually registered by the end of the day.
Disclaimer: The aforementioned "bet" is of the gentlemen's variety and in no way condones any illegal wager.

Glad my state is setting an example.

Gives the game of phone tag a whole new dynamic...

So through the course of our research we've found that you've modified some of the sections on your policy positions...
*coughs (and that you have twenty times the traffic we do)

Anybody notice the mention of Lockheed Martin in the original article?
Really? Is more outsourcing of sensitive government tasks the way to go? Have we learned nothing from experience...
