Actually, I meant both, though I don't think Apple is anywhere near the limit of its growth potential, what with the iPad coming out and its relationship with Disney. They are on track to dethrone Sony, not Microsoft. But as a computer company (that is, both hardware and software), they will never regain the leadership position that they had yesterday. They see that the future will never have them with a smartphone monopoly, so this is nothing more than a stop-gap strategy, a speed-bump to delay Android and Windows Mobile 7 adoption. And the price will be losing every fence-sitter in the court of public opinion.
He's being sued for suggesting that the chiropractors were willfully giving people treatments they knew to be be useless.
So they're admitting ignorance to the efficacy of their treatments?
Reminds me of the excuses of the Iraq War promoters. Before the war, it was all about the weapons of mass destruction. After the war, excuse me, major combat operations, it was all about the positive results of regime change, despite the lack of weapons.
There are no liars anymore, just blithering idiots with hearts of gold.
What about the consumers right to determine what they can do with their property? Their rights trump Apple's in every moral sense. Apple is interfering with the transactions of third parties; it is only a twisted copyright law and mathematical locks that allow them to stick their nose where it doesn't belong.
The problem is not one of free speech rights, but of a culture that promotes subservience to authority. There are those who want to blame public schools, as if it were some government conspiracy of indoctrination, but those very people would drill the same values into their children at home or at private schools. The schools reflect the culture of its community, and that community values football, Jesus, and doing what you're told.
We must establish a war mentality, draw sharp lines between the "real Americans" and those who value rational inquiry and the open society. It is too far gone for reconciliation to be possible, they will never come to see the error of their ways. I mean, they actually bugged the laptops of children to spy on them in their homes! The who kids accepted that... what kind of adults do you think they're going to become?
Slashdot should be embarrassed for all the FUD they've been posting. Apple is the new Microsoft, except for Apple fanboys, who hold Google as the new Microsoft.
They at least stick their neck out there and try things. Sometimes it does not always work.
You fanboys will rationalize anything. Like a special child, Apple gets gold stars for effort, and you give them a free pass for the App Store, too, despite the fact that it makes the IBM of 1984 look like a hippie free love commune in comparison.
if you're so smart, why not reason with them and fight the good fight instead of dropping below their level and resorting to name calling. those "dumbass Texans" are winning...
That would be giving them the credibility they want. They are not our equals. The only reason they do this is to annoy us, to try to force the educated and influential to pay them the attention they crave.
They are only "winning" in the sense in that they are playing their roles as pawns in a larger game effectively.
"Bureaucratic reasons" could be that it would cost five or six digits to modify the software that receives, processes, and stores the faxes to automatically flip the images when needed. Industrial OCR software usually does this, so the problem is kind of stupid, but it asking people to send them oriented correctly as a short term solution is not unreasonable. But hey, this is Slashdot, why give up an opportunity to scream about evil patents and teh gubermint?
I'm supposed to feel outrage because a government office wants to save our tax money by requiring people (lawyers) too stupid to use a fax machine to correct their own mistakes?
Slashdot Mirror
Pay them more.
Are there any mobile devices out there that can really handle even moderately complex / processor intensive Java code?
Yes. All of them.
Whether you're allowed to is a different matter entirely.

Interesting way of not calling me wrong.
Remember this day. This day marks the beginning of Apple's decline.
Why not assume the obvious - the post is a troll?
'll bet dollars to doughnuts that I can disable a $500 drone
I bet you 500 donuts you can't.
You poor fanboys, your precious toy didn't even make the list. Weak is the signal, weak as the user.
Out of curiosity, how do you feel about gun issues, etc?
Given that rights are really nothing more than consensual assertions backed by the threat of violence, I'd say guns are pretty damn essential.
which Apple is not prosecuting consumers for
Well, isn't that nice of them.
There are no rights when the act of exercising them is illegal, or they could be taken away for any reason.
That should be "I don't think that's what he meant". Brain and hands apparently not entirely connected today...
Chiropractor injure your neck?

This is what happens when you have socialized education
If only we could remove the prohibition against private schools, people could choose to send their kids to them.
> The who kids accepted that
I mean, the kids who accepted that. The who kids are alright.

That's why they killed POP access, too!
Oh, wait, no they didn't.

An overclocked processor can be spectacularly fast, and spectacularly wrong.
Huh, you're right. They're also operating in the red, and Congress has been siphoning off some of the money made by those fees for other projects. No wonder they can't fix their fax system.
