You're right. I like my 4 a lot, and I decided to like it for at least two years more. I'm glad that Apple didn't fall for the Hummer-like screen sizes though.
Remember the Palm 'personal digital assistants?' Windows 3.x? The Mac? Xerox's graphical shell? They all look similar. Apple should sue them all because in the past they made something that resembles the home screen of the iPhone.
Not only that but did you see the shape of the icons? Round, just like on the new iPod nano! If that isn't a recipe for a lawsuit I don't know what is.
I come to Ars more and more Because of the quality of the stories there. I think the Firehose on Slashdot was a bad idea. The editors should pick the stories, not the readers.
That's because many companies outsourced their labour to China. But the US still contributes to global warming on an immense scale compared to their number of inhabitants. It's high time you take the environment seriously.
Bullshit. Every other smartphone is made in the same way, in the same type of factories in China. It's just that because Apple is so visible we hear stories about the iPhone etc, but most other electronic devices are produced under the same conditions.
And the rest of the world doesn't exist, does it? America contributes for a very large part to global warming, which is why we here in the Netherlands have to reinforce dykes and do other stuff to make sure we stay dry. We should sue you and try to get you to pay for that. Especially if Romney gets to sit on the throne there it will only get worse, not better. And of course Holland is not the only country that is in trouble thanks to global warming.
The iPhone 5 is a sort of benchmark by which we can estimate the level of inventiveness and radical thinking Apple still possesses. It must be super duper amazingly good and unique if Apple wants to have a chance of reaching the same success with it as they had with the 4S. It will be amazing if they pull that off.
This is peculiar. I say something negative about an Apple product in a thread about how evil Apple is that rivals the threads about MS in the early 2000s and I am marked troll! I'm almost proud.
And just what/how are you restricted on your OSX system?
I like OSX and feel in no way restricted by it. A month ago I bought an iPad however, and I am hugely disappointed about how primitive iOS is and at all the things it can't do. It feels like a 21st century device with the capabilities of a Commodore 64. On the iPhone I don't notice the constraints of iOS so much but I expected the iPad to be sort of a laptop without a keyboard. But it's completely unusable if you approach it like that.
On the planet I live on, which is called Europe, you can't buy guns in shops like on the planet USA. So our politicians, who of course don't even have a clue about the existence of 3D printing, should be extremely concerned.
Slashdot Mirror
Wasn't that how most games in the 1990s worked? They circumvented DOS and replaced it with their own OS, wasn't it called 4DOSGW or something?
You can also keep running Windows.

Funny how Slashdot as a whole can miss sarcasm even if it slaps them in the face, hard.
What currency do you use?

How do you know that?
Hair splitter ;)
Very insightful. Please mod this up!
Compasses are very new. We still use a lot of technology from the stone age. Fire, thread, clothes, paint... The list goes on and on.
What's uninstall? What's a browser? What's this url you speak of? The majority of FaceBook users have no idea what you are talking about.
Calibre can also turn PDF into something else. It works well with texts but I don't know what it does with pictures.

I think Hashrocket invited him so he could solve a particularly nasty problem for them for free.

Even at universities most people just want to get their job done and don't give a damn about 'open' or 'free' software.

Everybody has easy access to DNA. It's one of the most abundant biomolecules on the planet.
Everybody knows the butler always did it!
