If you run out of fuel in a regular car, the worst case scenario is that you end up late to where-ever you were going and have to spend money replacing fuel injectors. If you run out of fuel in a flying car, it would fall into the ground damaging or destroying both the car and whatever/whoever you land on depending on how high off the ground you are. Sure, you can implement fuel warnings, but some-one is inevitably going to ignore it or it could not work properly.
It really does matter: saying that apple can reject any app they want may not mean much to the general public, but a specific example like this really puts it into perspective and gets potential iphone buyers/developers thinking "If they block an app in this circumstance, then apple can block apps for any circumstance".
I know it's not a phone, but someone in my scout troop brought his zune 120 on a campout and accidentally left it out on a bench the night it rained. After finding it in a small pool of water, he turned it on to find that it still worked like new.
Well it's not impossible, but a computer producing almost random notes will not make a work with the same quality as a composer working closely with an orchestra on a piece for months, if not years.
It may be able to create pretty sounding melodies because of the rules involved with music writing. If you take a music theory class, you get told certain rules that must be followed: how cords can progress, intervals to avoid etc. If you just translate those rules to computer code, then anything it makes will sound good. What it cannot create is real creativity. There are some composers such as Wagner, Mahler and Stravinsky who chose to break those rules. Their music doesn't sound pretty, but it is very enjoyable and it obeys enough of those rules to sound good. In short, we'll never see a computer compose something like the rite of spring.
Yes you are absolutely right, but what I tried to say in my original comment was that switching to linux should be done for a good reason as opposed to "Why the hell not?". When I first got into Linux I thought it was really cool, ( I still do) and was under the impression that it could completely replace windows( i'm a gamer). Now i am aware that I should keep a copy of windows as well. I don't know if the person who asked the question is in a similar stage or not, but the point of my comment was to say "hey, maybe this might not be such a good idea after all". But I could be wrong.

What is your opinion on the Apple vs. Samsung verdict?
Red Hat is a cooler name, duh.
This is similar to another recent discovery: http://www.theonion.com/video/paleontologists-discover-skeleton-of-natures-first,14320/

Does anyone else think it looks more like mac os X?

I guess that's why they call it a crackberry
You are a genius
You Damn kids, get off my wifi!!
hmmm, maybe I should read the whole article next time.

Yes, that's pretty much what it boils down to.
You've never seen back to the future, have you?
We're one step closer to getting a flux capacitor.
Oh, I see my mistake now.
That was an observation, a bash would be: "Macs cannot play games". There is a difference.
What would be the correct way to arrange the words?
I think he meant the possibility of MS suing the guy who lied about memory issues.
That actually makes a little bit of sense now that I think about it.
Yeah, it seems as though apple (and it's customers) are quicker to bash their competitors than explain the features of their own products.
I see, makes me wonder what he would lie about to get sex.
I wonder what his motivation for lying like about it was.
