Microsoft Windows is a conspiracy between the hardware manufacturers and Microsoft to make you have to buy new hardware every couple of years. Best example was going from XP to Vista. XP ran fine. Vista came out and ran like a one legged man in a marathon. Everyone had to buy new hardware to run it.
Think about it: Do you really need a quad-core processor with 8GB of RAM and a 1.5 TB hard drive to browse the Internet, watch IdiotTube (AKA YouTube) videos and fap to porn?
/.tards, geektards and blogtards have nothing better to do with their lives than bash on Apple and the things they do. These people are so fucking highly educated, intelligent and creative, that they could do so much better than Apple - if they ever actually got off of their stupid fat asses and got out of their mother's basement into the real world. Apple, Google and Microsoft - watch out! Once these people let loose, they will destroy you...not. Any idiot, moron, retard can sit in front of a computer and bitch, criticize and opinionate - but damn they can't do a real fucking thing in the real world if their lives depended on it. I dare you - if you are so fucking smart, start a company to compete with Apple from scratch and do better.
SYSTEM FOR INTERCONNECTING ELECTRONIC MAIL SYSTEMS BY RF COMMUNICATIONS AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF
So, shouldn't every single laptop/notebook/netbook/tablet with WiFi manufacturer also be on the lawsuit list? After all, any and every single laptop/notebook/netbook/tablet with WiFi is also "INTERCONNECTING ELECTRONIC MAIL SYSTEMS BY RF COMMUNICATIONS"...
Start using real software, and start using real hardware. That's what other businesses do when they "grow up". If twitter is a viable business, it's time for them to grow up, too.
Well that's the problem right there. Many of these 'businesses' (Twitter, Foursquare, Gowalla, etc.) are not viable businesses. They are still bleeding their initial (or secondary, or tertiary) funding rounds dry with expenditures greatly outpacing their receivables (if any). Any hope of being around in a few years is if someone comes along and buys them out or dumps even more $$$$ into their black holes. Or get into advertising - where Google is the million tonne gorilla that you have to compete with.
In the past, we delivered Adobe Reader updates as full installers or patches (for instance, 9.x = full installer, 9.x.y = patch). The Adobe Reader Download Center at http://get.adobe.com/reader always offers the most recent full installer of Adobe Reader, which is currently Adobe Reader 9.3. After installation, the Adobe Reader Updater will automatically check and offer the latest patches to keep end-users up-to-date (as of today, the latest patch is Adobe Reader 9.3.3).
What a bunch of incompetent ass clowns. They can't even offer up a downloaded-able 9.3.3 install yet. You have to do it in two stages. If I was running the show, the people that crapped out this dung-pile would be looking for work tomorrow morning.
Except now you have to work those extra 4.533333 hours to earn the $272 to pay someone else. Your time may be worth $60 a hour, but you sure as frak don't spend 24 hours a day earning $60 each and every single hour. You spend 8 hours earning $60 an hour and 16 hours earning $0 per hour. Bottom line is, if you have the skills to do it yourself, you save $272 (minus parts costs).
Have you seen the stuff in the app store? They're not wrong.
You should see the questions that get asked in the Apple Developer forums every day. You wouldn't believe how totally clueless many of these "developers" are.

Sounds like iCrapware to me. Try writing and publishing something that doesn't stench like a late night infomercial.
I too have an iPad App. It was available April 1st with all the other Day One iPad Apps. It was "In the Spotlight" for all of April and "New and Noteworthy" for most of May. If I can, you can too.

There is no oil in Bumfuckistan. Only rocks, more rocks, even more rocks, religious nutters and poppy plants.
I'm still not sure how Commodore managed to go from selling 50 million machines to bankruptcy in a couple of years.

Feel free to speculate on what part is the 11th finger
Your nose, dummkopf! Everyone has a nose. Only like half the population has a tallywacker.
Of course, that half the population could potentially do 12 touches if they where flexible enough...
Can't wait for all the CrAppTastic crApps!
the value of gold going up indicates it's superiority as a container of value
No. It is an indicator of human stupidity and greed. Nothing else.
If people valued polished turds and considered gold to be worthless, then polished turds would be the monetary standard.
I love Lady Gaga
You mean Madonna Jr.? Every time I see something from The Gaga, I keep seeing Madonna instead...
So in other words, it's perfect for the typical /. denizen but totally unsuitable for a normal, average person.
Now do you under stand (yet) why iPhone does so well?

Twitter's just trying to stay alive. If the service falls over NO UPDATES will happen
What's the expression I'm looking for? Oh, yeah: "And nothing of value would be lost."
Alleged "Oil Spill" has become a top ten cluster fuck. Ever.
Right now he can install 100% of iP* apps.
This is wrong. The iPad will not run iOS 4.0-only apps at this point in space/time.
That's too much an obvious and simple solution, i.e. a clear wear resistant coating.
You don't need a $200K/year PhD, MBA or BS degree to come up with that...
I don't have any shekels - all I have are pesos.

Come back a year from now and tell us how much money you've made off of your Android apps and the "100 million+ more potential customers".

From one of the 2009 WWDC session slides: iPhone OS 3.0 and Mac OS X core share over 80% of their source code.
