iOS is just stripped down version of Mac OS X with a different interface isn't it? So the real story is that they are moving towards the iOS GUI if this proves correct.
Pretty horrific if you ask me as a father of two young children. I worry about my kids health and safety all the time and they bring more joy to me than anything else ever has. If you can't take care of the kids, or don't want to, learn to use birth control. One of the reasons there are so many f***ed up people in this world is that they had parents that didn't care about their existence.
Did you really think $9.99/mo for 1 DVD at a time + all the streaming content you can eat was going to last forever? Those are *startup* prices. They do that to grow the business, then they jack up the prices when they need to be profitable.
And they're never going to include new releases in the all-you-can-eat streaming at that price.
I do wish they would stop changing the streaming / not streaming status of movies, however. It's frustrating when a movie that has been out for ten years, and was streamable last week, suddenly is not streamable. Can't say I understand the reasoning behind that, other than that their licensing just makes no damn sense.
Ummm, the studios pull the strings on the content, Netflix has to abide by their licensing.
Has anybody noticed they don't talk about DVDs by mail on their front page anymore? In the links to questions they talk about being able to add the option. Frankly my DVD watching has fallen off dramatically and I cancelled the plan and have gone streaming only. It seems everyday they have more and more options for streaming so I think they are a good deal. Between them and Hulu Plus you can get a lot for $16 per month.
You're quoting the same lines I've heard since 96. You want to know how stubborn I used to be? I tried to get my family to use OS/2 instead of Windows, but gave up when it was obvious that they weren't going to catch on to something that wasn't like the computers everywhere else. I like your style of arguing that places the burden on those that you think won't put the "tiny mental" effort in to trying things you like. Linux has failed in the desktop market. You are way late to the game if you think things are getting better. The only thing Linux did was take over the UNIX workstation and light to medium duty server market.
I'm arguing that the German Foreign office is served better by somebody that wants to make a profit off of making a product available to them instead of a product being available for ideological reasons. I used Linux for a long time but in the end, after over a decade, and with the introduction of OS X and well designed hardware built around it, I said no more!
The big reason this is being typed on an Apple instead of a Linux box is that Apple provided me with what I wanted. I only boot Linux in a virtual machine these days. Of course I work with several servers at work that run Linux and do their job admirably, but desktop Linux was never going to happen.
Grab your video camera, go to your local mall or busy street corner and start asking people if they know what Ubuntu is. Place your video on YouTube and link to it here. I await your evidence of spreading like wildfire.
Get back to me when I can walk in to any retail computer store and walk out with my computer with Linux installed a couple of Linux software packages in my bag. My first experience with Linux was Slack 2.x in the mid 90s, I loved it. As time went by I grew tired of having to worry about what hardware I purchased or having to search down source to compile to do what I wanted, and I'm a developer. I always hated the Mac OS and then Apple did something wonderful and came out with a new UNIX based OS and I haven't looked back. I run Linux in virtual machines for testing but really have not used it as a desktop in over 7 years.
Of course so was 199x-200x. I remember this crap being posted in the late 90s... geez guess what, it is never going to be a significant presence on the desktop.

Gotta be the retard now in the gay porn business or the other retard from Vermont posting this crap.
I know you want to believe that but you don't have the first clue about the majority of big business in this world if you really do. Since you think that TPB was worth of hero status I will chalk you up as another clueless open source supporter unwilling to admit that big business has taken Linux farther than it ever would have gone on its own. Want to see what no corporate support gets you? Take a look at the BSD camp. Most Linux kernel development comes from corporations now because there is good money in supporting it. The mantra of only incompetent staff needing support is woefully ignorant. Ever heard of risk management?
I'd be willing to join a class action lawsuit. Force you to add the UNLIMITED data plan and then decide you are going to change the terms? I don't think so. I can get along just fine with WiFi so set me free AT&T, I don't need the data plan.
I can get by just fine using only wifi. If AT&T is serious about this they need to give the option to not carry a data plan. I would be a part of any class action lawsuit if they go through with this. They can't force me to carry something and then tell me I can't use it how I want.
Not quite the same, added firewire back and it has more memory and the new battery design that was introduced on the 17". The white polycarbonate is the only MacBook left in the lineup.
Do cars shipped to China have trip, km and other english words on the dash instead of the equivalent Chinese? The reasons for the fuzzy photos don't wash as the photographer brandished the phone in public in a car. Seems to me better photos could have been taken easily.

That is what I took away from it.

That is it! Microsoft AND Apple are quaking in their boots from the type of posts you see here today!
Well you're one data point invalidates several other million. Well done.

A cost decision I'm sure.

My wife and I could save the $60 per month and just use WiFi when we need hi speed data. I don't feel bad for AT&T.
You sound very bitter. Why so bitter?

On my old sch-670 I could flip it closed and see myself in the external screen while taking a picture.
Maybe this should be submitted to failblog.org?

Thanks for the explanation Dave.
