If you ripped your face off, you would no longer be bothered by other people's choices with regard to the software they make, and I would feel a lot better about the world. It's a true win/win.
4 to 6 months? What the fuck did you do to the poor thing? It should be good for a few years, at least. Oh, and I suppose the option of replacing the battery is simply too hard to deal with?
Do you have a problem with English and/or logic? The quoted sentences make perfect sense. Which may be exceptional for Slashdot, but not really deserving of a WTH.
I imagine Siri is much more useful on a phone than on a standard laptop or desktop system. I use it all the time on my phone, but I don't expect it to be at all useful on my mini.
Being able to ask "how many tablespoons in half a cup?" and get a spoken answer, is really useful, especially if I'm in the middle of cooking at the time.
There have been zero updates ever forced for iPhoneOS/iOS on any device. You should probably take your irrational hatred and stuff it and your head into a live volcano.
At the very least, service should keep running until someone else provides service. It's not as if Comcast is going to provide service within anyone's lifetime just because Greenlight stops.
Let's forget that Apple sues for infringements of patents it actually uses. MobileMedia Ideas wouldn't know how to silence a ringer if you handed them a bell and a sledgehammer.
The thing with hardware patents is that it's no the idea which is patented, it is the implementation. With software patents, it's the idea itself which is patented. With hardware patents, a working model or a description detailed enough to allow another practitioner to recreate the mechanism is required. Software patents don't even require a working binary.
There is no way to defend the ethics of software patents. The iPhone does not silence the ringer via a mechanical mechanism. The button press is a trigger, but the silencing is done by software. Unless this Troll has access to source code which demonstrates that Apple uses the exact same method that was patented (as if software patents ever do that; see above), the case should have been thrown out.
Slashdot Mirror
Except Linus didn't do that, you ignorant, and likely illiterate, shit head.
The kernel doesn't even use libc. No way in hell it would use stdlib. You are a moron.
The majority (~87%) are Muslim. This is not a coincidence.

He'd also have to save up his allowance, so he's trying to come up with cool reasons for not wanting it.

Every single Mylan employee who needs an Epipen should be found, their allergy triggered and left to die without an Epi.
There's also no reason for society to allow you a pain-free existence.
Sending it to the moon isn't throwing it away?
I REALLY don't get how you found a dictionary that defines exciting as good.

Lots of people think Steam is a good buy. Your comment is a complete non sequitur, though.
There's always COBOL.
The world in which a language is said to be based on another if it shares a great deal of syntactic similarity.
For C based, this usually boils down to "uses braces to delimit blocks".

It's amusing that you think the domain grabbing would stop. Most of that happens through the WTO, which is already international.
What has the US done about Assange that could be considered wrong?
And Snowden broke the law. It's not as if he doesn't admit it. You think it's wrong that the US would like him to stand trial?
restrictive
You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

Apple is not a patent troll.
You invented the axiom on which your "logic" is based. That makes your logic worthless.

Can you transfer the retries to someone else, using a method other than leaving the machine?
Unlike you, Apple probably has way more data on how many users use each setting. The only person treating others as imbeciles is you.
