It seems like it would be hard to use the iPhone as a game controller without the feel of the buttons. It might work for something like a wii remote with the motion is the most important thing, but that is not the usual PC game. I don't know if it would be all that useful for most games. Just my opinion though.
Don't you have to have some kind of license from the EPA to dispose of toxic waste? Did the producers of the waste not verify the license? There are not that many places to dispose of toxic waste. I am sure it was more than just the guys in the mafia who were in on this. I think the producers of the waste should be responsible for the clean up.
So they are able to bug your cell phone while it is in your pocket or in your hotel room charging. Or do they check all cell phones at the door like in The Dark Knight? Even when you RTFA it does not give you any support for these claims. I think he is a little paranoid.
It seems to me that as soon as someone comes out with a smartphone / mp3 player that is not so "controlled" and lets users install what they want, it will eventually rule the market. I thought someone would have done that by now.
Knowing Comcast, I am surprised it took them this long to start the hijacking. I am also surprised they even have an opt-out page to take down. I would not be surprised if you had to pay a fee to opt out.
How is it an Ulterior Motive? Microsoft is a corporation driven by money and profits. They will not do anything to help any one they see as potential competition. We have seen this time and time again. How could anyone not living under a rock, not see this coming. It would be like putting a Nike symbol on a car. It does not make it a shoe and you should know better too. If you believe anything Microsoft has ever done has been for the good of anyone except Microsoft you...... It would not matter what I say there, you would have to be living in your own crazy little world anyway.
Could this be used on other parts of the body for cancer and such? Since the brain does not feel pain, you would have to use some kind anesthetic on other parts of the body.
I do agree that we are to PC, except in the case of what is said about white men. If Sotomayor was a white guy talking about the plight of white men in this country everyone would have been yelling racism. But when you have an openly racist police officer, that is a totally different than just dealing with people not being PC.
I agree that this does not really fit on/. but I do find it troubling anyway.
I think an openly racist police officer should be fired. If not, you get crap like Rodney King on one extreme and OJ on the other. Things like this make it hard to support cops. The youtube videos of police brutality out there don't really help either. I still believe most are good, but I feel as a whole they are worse than the general public.
Between the cut the government will get for taxes and the cut the music industry will get because of the settlement. That will leave very little for the prior owners.

HELLS YEAH!!!! My kid cannot even bring peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to school because someone might have a peanut allergy.

Someone will ask their parents how they met. The mom will reply "well your dad threw up on me on a rollercoaster."
Also, I doubt there is a show stopping bug, being as Windows 7 is just a service pack for Vista in reality.

This is a good enough resolution to watch porn on. I would call it iPorn, but I am sure I would get sued.
I feel better now. I thought the same thing.
Someone is already writing the "Do I have Malaria" app I bet.

This is so fake. We did not go to the moon. I looked all over and could not find the dark side either. And where is all the cheese?
It would have been way funnier if it turned out to be whale semen.
