    most consumers will not notice, more data will be grabbed, valid or invalid projections will be made.

  4. tell me again about the taxation policy of the founding fathers and how that relates to outsourcing jobs paid for by the said taxpayers, accidental citizenry or not.

    as far as taking the High Road, i am pretty sure it does not go through the coffers of HCL or others corps (fits) benefiting by increasing profits.

  16. clearly the "Look Shiny (tm)" marketing approach had worked for apple devices for a long time and it may take a version or two's failure to require a newer strategy.

    Heck from a security stand point its probably the better product out there now that BB has stabbed itself one too many times even for me. but that is a normal progression of vendors and products. can't wait for the next new thing (look shiny)
