A significant minority, if not an outright majority, of smart phones have no physical keyboard. The best-selling model (iPhone) never had one. The BB keyboard may be great, but it's not much of an advantage.
I don't mind if you're executed for pedophilia. Seems extreme, but to each their own.
It should be noted that pedophilia is relatively normal and has been throughout written history. It is only recently that pedophiles have been vilified.
Windows is not insecure compared to other OSes. Unless you are talking zOS or something similar. Linux is a pile of security vulnerabilities waiting to be discovered. It's just that no one bothers, at least not on the scale that Windows "enjoys".
I have never seen a laptop that did not require considerable effort to get wireless networking going. And that's unsecured, no passwords or WEP to complicate things. Also, resume never worked for me, especially networking. On desktops its OK, if you don't actually want to do much with it. The variety of software available is dwarfed by Windows. Not the amount, perhaps, but the variety. How many text editors does Linux need, anyhow? Also, Windows has a sane (if theoretically more limited) clipboard, and keyboard shortcuts that work in every program (except games).
Windows 7 remembers the audio level on a per-executable basis. This means that I can set, for example, a game's sound settings once, and adjust the game's master volume in Windows. This is nice for when I want to turn the sound down to avoid disturbing my wife, but I don't want to adjust the music, sound effects, voice-overs, etc. individually within the game. Not all games have a master volume setting, and generally the Windows setting is easier to get to.
Apple Stores will email your receipt, but I think they will also print it for you if you prefer. All their POS terminals are modified iPod Touches. The printer sits behind the Genius Bar (aka the service desk).
Everyone else copies Apple. Why would they be scared of anything? Or more accurately, why should Steve be scared? Apple itself should be scared of losing Steve.
No, Apple is not a patent troll. Unless you believe that using a patent under any circumstance is trolling, which is patently ridiculous. Apple does not purchase patent rights for the sole purpose of suing or licensing them to other companies. Apple files its own patent applications, uses its patents in its own products, and seeks licensing fees for their patents, if they wish to. The entire point of patents is to secure a monopoly on the idea or concept that has been patented. It would be a waste of the application fees to let the patents sit idle while other companies freely implemented the ideas.
Software patents are an abomination, but that's a completely separate topic than patent trolls.
That explains so much about our legal system, if basic principles are based on a complete lack of logic and/or understanding.
We don't know how large the populations of Sodom was at the time, so we have no way to evaluate the ratio of population/x, where x represents the various numbers that Abraham ask for.
I learned BASIC before I learned C, and functions always made sense to me. I guess some people just get it and some people are too much creatures of habit.
It was in the trash. Why, other than to be a nice and completely selfless person, would he have any motivation to try and give it back?
It is completely legal for anyone to pick through trash placed on public(ly accessible) property. The only legal question should be whether it was the museum or NASA that owned it at the time it was thrown away. The idea that just because the astronauts are not allowed to keep any that this individual should follow the same rule is ridiculous. It's a rule made up by NASA, not a law.
Unless you were a Federal employee, it's quite unlikely Obama had anything to do with your lack of employment. And even if you were, it's still not registering above zero percent chances.

Both of your examples are cases where the "other" platform was owned by the same company. They are not in any way comparable to a BB+Android pairing.

Obviously not.

I bought CFLs last November and I haven't had one go yet.
I don't think there are any real objections to those terms.
What kind of shit needs a warning about PDFs? Even iDevices can read those.

What's impossible? I've installed apps (well, one app that I wanted) from source on my non-jailbroken iPad.
mp3 ringtones still are a gimmick.

Companies don't like spending money. Period.

Figure out a way to quantify doubt. After that, we can talk about adjusting our legal system.

It's not even remotely critical so long as you get the understanding that the library has nothing to do with panty or upskirt shots.
People aren't ashamed of their gender, but of their genitals. It is the latter, after all, that gives the cable connectors their names.
