even the great leader jobs himself had all sorts of wlan/wcdma problems at the keynote. and hilariously he made a ridiculous excuse of there being too many wlan aps!!1 so lets get this straight jobs: every other wlan device is working but not your iphone! and the bloggers are to blame for it, eh?
but you know how steve jobs is. his reply: you're not holding it right! that's right folks! iphone is a magical and revolutionary gadget and if it is not working, the user is to blame.
thats amazing. a trackpad which is better than a mouse!!1 so is the trackpad magical and the mouse ordinary or is the trackpad ordinary and the mouse utter crap?
I would mod you up, but for some reason the moderation system just doesn't seem to be working for me tonight - I have mod points, but I try to mod and nothing happens.
same here. and that floating widget thing is also not visible. and when i click reply i get a separate page. earlier there used to be a reply box that would appear underneath the parent comment. i wonder if they test slashdot on even a single browser. because none works properly for me right now.
no. by that logic policemen should be allowed to murder. if something (talking/texting on cellphone) is banned in school, it is done so that people concentrate on learning and don't waste their time. the same should apply on the teachers. if teachers keep using their phones it creates resentment in students and they try to cheat the system using handsfree and other things. and i'm talking from personal experience, having just passed out of school.
why not? i've never understood the different standards for teachers and students in schools. at my old school, cellphones were not allowed to be used inside the establishment. but only for students! its okay if teachers waste their time. you seem to know a lot about school networks. so tell me, why are teachers allowed to send private email, encrypted data, ssh into their home pc, watch/download porn and students have their account blocked?
Why would I care about bittorrent on the phone - I'd rather access my home computer and initiate it there, instead of getting a massive hit on my mobile data usage?
i thought there was this tiny little insignificant piece of tech called wlan?
With iOS 4, you can browse on Safari whilst your navigation app runs in the background (location based multitasking is one of the options Apple provides). I don't want to be near you when you're driving and being distracted by whatever porn site you are viewing, but you should be able to do this.
nice bit of trollish assumptions there. yes, there is a specific category allowing for background audio as well. so i was wrong about this one. but still, it seems to me that this selective shit should not be called multitasking. in a properly multitasked system, any program can run in the background and do whatever it wants, not just do things included in a list:
Background audio and VoIP
Background location
Location notifications
Push notifications
everyone can play flash audio. even people browsing from crappy sony ericsson feature phones. its only the icunts who are unable to access the content.
You can pick on various features of iPhone as being missing, but since they shipped their very first phone, overall they have been ahead of everyone else, leading the industry.
are you dumb? the features iphone is going to get in some time (video call camera, decent camera, flash, etc) have been standard stuff on other phones for about 5 years. they are not leading the industry by any metric. still, even the to be released iphone does not have basic features like microsd card, usb mass storage, proper bluetooth support, etc which have again been standard in half-decade old phones.
That limitation goes away tomorrow (June 21, 2010) with the release of iOS v4.
no, it doesn't. 3rd party apps can now do a SPECIFIC, defined-by-the-great-leader-himself task in the background. you still cannot have a bittorrent app downloading in the background while browsing on safari while your navigation app is running in the background saying "take the 8th exit".
what you are describing is the exact tech used in kindle. when you turn it off, the screen doesn't get empty, it just shows the face of some random dude. and battery power is consumed only when refreshing the screen, not for refreshing it.
Allow the user to put a definable cap on their bill which requires a phone call to the telco to exceed. "I never want to pay more than $300 on my bill." It would cut off all but emergency service and calls to the telco itself if it hit the cap. It could even cut off all but voice service as the cap was approached.
why not just get a prepaid sim and charge it with the exact amount you want to spend each month? when the credit is finished, only emergency calls and support calls can be made.
I'd cheerfully join a firing squad or spring the trap on a gallows.
i wish i am never put into such a position where i am expected to take a man's life. it doesn't matter if the condemned man is a serial killer or osama bin laden. although i agree that in the case of some people it is necessary to kill them, but i would not be comfortable doing the job myself.
it seems to me that something is seriously wrong with your computer. firefox has maybe crashed 1 time in the past 6 months on my vista laptop and chrome has never crashed. once the flash plugin crashed but not the browser.
Slashdot Mirror
what is this gizmodo you speak about? oh its those thieves masquerading as bloggers. rest assured my friend, i haven't read gizmodo ever.
lol!!1
you sound like you really mean it! good sarcasm!
no phone drops calls/stops downloading if you hold it. except the iphone, of course.

i thought that the gsm and wcdma spec would have defined all sorts of algorithms to be used? i mean thats how you keep all phones compatible.

you don't NEED to jailbreak or do anything crafty. you just install your stuff from elsewhere.

maybe i'm being a bit slow here, but how can my post be categorized as 'flamebait'? its an honest question. and who am i flaming anyway?
teacher accounts aren't blocked

The iPhone was offering something new. This doesn't.
what?

"I expect this product to become the next Zune."
What's a Zune?
exactly.

i never use capitals online. i think they are a waste of ascii codes.

did you hear what happened to tpb? they weren't hosting any infringing material either.
