The "emulators" issue is just a red herring; this is mainly, if not solely, about running pirated software. If you want to run "homebrew", you buy a PC, which is *meant* to run unsigned, unprotected code, not a machine which is both built for and sold as a completely closed system. And if what you enjoy is the thrill of the cat-and-mouse game with the hardware vendor - well, that's what you're getting, so there's no reason to complain either.
Bear in mind also that any charging station infrastructure to be built requires a number of electric cars on the road to be viable - it makes more sense to subsidize the cars than to subsidize the chargers.
Yeah, it's amazing that the nerd press are trying to spin this out as some kind of slight on Apple, or thumbing their nose at them or something like that, when it's been a fully supported vector since before the App Store existed.
Android is what you get when iPhone OS is reverse-engineered by martians. A bunch of features, vaguely similar in the surface, but done with absolutely no understanding of how people in the real world use a device. Perfectly suited for the demographic of neckbeards whose main hobby is to compare feature list lengths. No wonder Google has to fucking *give it away*.
Jesus fuck, I've been on Slashdot since the very beginning, but I'm increasingly embarrassed to call myself a nerd.
I could be wrong, but it seems to me that if you feel an acceleration due to inertia, the effect would be the same at all points (your feet, your head), while if this acceleration is due to gravity, the effect would be stronger (however vanishingly so) closer to the origin of the gravitational field. Does this alone not mean that the effects aren't exactly equivalent?
Sorry, not a physicist, and not a particularly well educated layman either.:-/
It's funny how Gizmodo are thrashing about looking for another dick to suck - since the whole stolen iPhone fiasco, their articles are noticeable more anti-Apple and more pro-Microsoft and pro-Google. It's funny/painful to watch.
Yeah, I still LOL at the whole "no wireless, less space than a Nomad. lame" thing. It's not so much love or hate, it's mostly that Slashdot (and any open-source oriented sites) simply don't *get* Apple, and can't comprehend how most people, even very technically savvy people, don't give a flying fuck about the whole concept of 'open', and not because they are 'uninformed'.

I'm currently reading China Mieville's Kraken, so this strikes me as a possible sign of the ends of the world.
...if I visited his place, and then took it upon myself to install perfectly legitimate copies of Windows on all his computers?

Seriously, it's like kicking a hurt puppy or something.
Huh, maybe you don't need an iPhone or an iPad? What kind of utter solipsist thinks that the whole universe revolves around *their* needs?
Countdown until it gets used on some poor bloke handcuffed to a railing.
You forgot the Utter Suck engine, which tied all aspects of the first game together.
As everybody knows, Apple is a closed and evil company, therefore the headline is misleading and the story inaccurate. QED.
That's precisely why common sense trumps "freedom".
That's not what I've read - didn't Nokia initially try to force Apple to license their own interface patents in return?
Oh, yeah. Apple is *really* flailing.

I found that Safari Reader improves Jim Lynch's ugly-ass website at least tenfold. It doesn't seem to improve the daft content, though.
Obviously, they exist for the sole purpose of pissing *you* off.
My heart bleeds purple piss for them.

Why the christ is this filed under "Apple"?
From 100M+ to 5.5M? We sure are killing them off fast...
Christ, this is stupid, even by Microsoft standards.
Of course, it could have *nothing* to do with people actually liking Apple products...

You can't accuse them of not being quick on the uptake, that's for sure...
Move her to an iPad - that's what the future of computers will look to non-nerds, whether us nerds like it or not.
Best example in a while.
