  1. Re:No iPhone 5, just iPhone 4s on News From Apple's iPhone Event · · Score: 1

    It's been like that with Apple rumours since forever... you are always disappointed at the announcement.

  2. Re:Weak passwords?! on Mystery of Vanishing iTunes Credit Shows No Sign of Fading · · Score: 1

    Well... there's no need to be rude sir, I apologise if I offended you, I only mention it was posted above because I literally copied and pasted I was just citing where I got the info, TBH I didn't look at the times of the different posts, but would you have read CharlyFoxtrot's post if I hadn't mentioned it? What would've been the right thing to do? Assume you read it? What about other people who might read your post and miss Charly's?

    A civilised response would've been nice...

  3. Re:Weak passwords?! on Mystery of Vanishing iTunes Credit Shows No Sign of Fading · · Score: 1

    They do have a very strict policy, and it was stated above by CharlyFoxtrot but here it is again:

    "When changing your password, your new Apple ID password should:

    Be at least eight characters.
    Contain at least one number (0-9).
    Contain at least one uppercase letter (A-Z).
    Contain at least one lowercase letter (a-z).
    Not contain three consecutive identical characters.
    Not have been used in the past year.
    Not be the same as your Apple ID username."

    it was never this strict though, but this is at least a few a years old.

  4. OT Why base in Texas? on Texas and Taxes: Is a Server a Business Presence? · · Score: 1

    "Texas is home to many of the industry's largest hosting companies — including Rackspace and SoftLayer, who have comments on the issue."

    wouldn't be smarter to put those servers somewhere that has a cooler climate?

    If Libya Were to survive... If Yemen were to survive... if Bahrain were to survive... If X were to survive... then they had better use everything in their disposal.

    Double standards are shit, humans are scum, I wish I were a plankton.

  6. Re:Professional FCP users a a small group... on Is Final Cut Pro X Apple's Biggest Mistake In Years? · · Score: 1

    They could've easily added Beta to the name.

  7. Re:But in the mean time on Facebook, Zuckerberg Sued For $1 Billion Over Intifada Page · · Score: 2

    Why don't you read about the continuing illegal activity of settlement building?

  8. Re:Fail on Facebook, Zuckerberg Sued For $1 Billion Over Intifada Page · · Score: 1

    and those forced handouts are getting funded by countries like Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries when they are forced into buying outdated tech like F15 for $60 billion

  9. Re:AT&T paid too much on How the iPhone Led To the Sale of T-Mobile · · Score: 1

    When I visited the US for training a couple of years ago, I wanted to get a local prepaid sim card to make/receive cheaper calls, AT&T was the only choice cuz T-Mobile didn't have coverage where I was and I didn't want to buy a CDMA phone cuz I saw that as a waste for only 3 weeks. to my surprise it was cheaper to use my own number to make and receive calls while roaming than it was to get an local number, which was my habit when I went to Europe and Asia.

    There are a lot of good things in the US, but telcoms are not one of them, and I feel sorry for you and the rest of the world, cuz eventually we will follow your lead... so I hope things get fixed soon.

  11. Since when has being different became evil? on Is Apple Turning Into the Next "Evil Empire"? · · Score: 1

    I am not just talking about Apple here, but with everything in society from religion to just they way you dress... if someone or something does it differently, they are automatically labeled evil.

  12. Re:Photobooth lag on Hands On With Apple IPad 2 · · Score: 1

    I am sure it has a name but I assumed that lag was caused by the the picture going from the iPad's camera to the projector, then to the screen and from there to the camera that's recording the keynote.

  13. Re:webOS devices that won't sell on HP Unveils WebOS Tablet, Plans WebOS Computer · · Score: 1

    just a question, could they change the specs later? when the release dates come closer? I always see fine print that says something like this "specs may change without prior notice"

  14. Re:wrong device on No Playboy App For iPad, After All · · Score: 1

    You think Nintendo will allow nudity on their devices?

  15. Re:Sony Screwdriver on The Case of Apple's Mystery Screw · · Score: 1

    In Sony's case the screws only protected parts of the VCR that one would not know how to adjust properly if one had not taken the class. In Apple's case the screws only protect Apple's bottom line.

    Yeah and in Apple's case the iPhone only has two screws. like people have said before this is not a custom screw, and now that there is a demand for them they will be available in the not to distant future.

    and the better news is that the citizens of the UK can go to the citizens of those countries to seek technical advice on how to go through their successfully deployed firewalls.

  19. Parents should do the parenting on UK Gov't Wants To Block Internet Porn By Default · · Score: 1

    Parents should do the parenting, not act like children and cry to the government to do their job! they opted in for that when they had sex with no protection!

    Now I am from a country where they block porn and other sites they don't like, guess what? I always found a way around it.

    My ISP even provides a service where you can opt in and block more sites and just allow a white list.

    Parents should learn how to be parents and take responsibility for their kids actions.

    I think it's all in the name, maybe if were called something like WikiNewsNetwork and it's website was WNN.org things would've been a bit different?

  22. 21Mbps only? on Verizon LTE Can Use the Monthly Data Allotment In 32 Minutes · · Score: 1

    Wasn't LTE supposed to give speeds up to 100Mbps? I was expecting more, 21Mbps is the max on 3G, I wasn't expecting 100Mbps but maybe something around 30-40Mbps.
