I'm working on a deal with a Nigerian Prince that has inherited the exclusive rights to an oxygen free copper mine from his recently deceased father, the King. Extensive quantum phase testing has shown that this oxygen free copper has the rather unique ability to transmit signals at 99.6% of the speed of light and timings on unequal length wires are less than 42 femtoseconds. He's looking for investors with bank accounts in Switzerland to fund a working facility. The payoff should be massive since we could sell this stuff for at least a $1000 a ft.
The 'War on Terror' will prove to be ineffective as the 'War on Drugs'. When you boil it all down, you are pitting human intelligence against human intelligence. Humans are very clever critters and will find one way or another around obstacles. If any progress at all is to be made, you need to fight the disease, not the symptoms. You have to ask "Why are these people doing this in the first place?" and address that as the root problem.
the iPhone, while quite cool conceptually, suffers from some very lame design issues
For every "lame design issue" in the iPhone, there is one in Android.
It's the nature of resource restricted platforms that trade-offs have to be made - these ain't multi-core desktops with gigabytes of RAM and terabytes of disk space.

And this, kids, is why we don't run applications inside of web browsers.
Android-X86 and install it on a tablet PC of your choice
Yes, but who the frak wants an OS that gives 'applications' only 16MB of RAM to run in? Google it yourself if you don't believe me.
No HD Video (1024x768)
Actually, it does output 720p via a "Dock Connector to VGA adapter http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/.
It can even output the video and show something completely different on the unit's on-board display...
iPhone OS is a customized version of OS X (running on an ARM chip) - they share over 80% of their source code...
What an unfortunate name.
Nintendo got away with using Wii (urinate, pee, tinkle, piss, whiz).

Hey buddy,

You're marketing it all wrong. You need to sell the downloading and installing of the Firefox plugin for IE6...

I refuse to pay any amount of money for a stupid iPhone/Touch application. It's a goddamn PHONE/TOY.
This "stupid" "PHONE/TOY" has more computing power, features and graphics capability than a top of the line desktop did 10 years go. Fumbducktard.
"Dear US of A,
We're calling in all of your debts. Now.
-- China"
US economy goes bust. World economy goes fubar. Google dries up and blows away. China sits back and chortles.
Makes one question why China's largest search engine isn't large enough to run their own DNS servers.
I'm one person and run my own DNS server...
"Lies, damn lies and statistics" is all you need to know about statistics.
Combine iFart, iBurp, iTweet and you'll definitely get the $1M...
the OS didn't (and still doesn't) need more than one button to navigate around the UI
That explains all the Command-Click, Option-Click and Control-Clickery in Mac OS...
The question you have to ask yourself is "Which is the greater evil?"
The money grubbing corporate types at Google or the lobbyist driven bureaucrats in Government?
Since I'm on a "Just say NO! to Google" jihad, I'd have to give it to the paper shufflers in Government...
It's from GOOGLE! It's got to be good.
1) Google farts. ...proclaim "Google Is Great!"
2) Google fanbois inhale deeply...
3)
I'm just getting so frickin' sick and tired of Google On The Brain.
