You didn't get my point. If you're on a switched Ethernet, and pay per megabyte, you would be paying the ISP for utilizing bandwith which you have already payed for, and noone else can use anyway. Sort of like buying a book, and then paying the publisher for every minute you're reading it. That's nonsense.
You pay a flat rate to be able to be online 24/7 if you so wish. There's no logic in charging per megabyte to lower the rate for the casual user. Besides, many Ethernet networks are switched these days, so every user has a nominal capacity no matter how much/little bandwith he uses.
Whatever happened to the right to express your opinion, (including reciting what you've heard ("rumours")) without fear of reprisal? I think if Apple wants to threaten publications to conform to publishing news that suits their needs, then it's only satisfying to remember that consumers have the right to choose computers manufactured by a company without this anal-retentive marketing policy.
I never did like Apple anyway...
Why do I suddenly come to think of when the judge ordered that Kevin Mitnick not have access to a phone from his prison cell in fear that he might somehow continue his hacking spree by whistling into the telephone...
I'm not really annoyed by this new feature, although it does make Eudora even more bloated (which is why I don't use it) - rather, I find it to be interesting technology. If Qualcomm can create
filters for the content in outgoing messages, I'm sure they can use that technology to help improve their spam filters. If they are researching the area, why accuse them of wasting their time on useless features?

I really do see the similarity between Alexa and Alexandria as a bad omen.

I wonder what operating system was used to control the sprinkler system
