I believe the registry keys we're having an issue with are those, for example, which control application startup enabling malware to install, and not the browser's settings.
If you eliminate income tax, sales tax will have to increase considerably. Probably around 10-15 percent. At that price, people would likely shop elsewhere to avoid the state's sales tax. Especially on expensive items. Again, only the rich would have the means to do this. So you end-up killing local businesses as well as hurting those who have limited income.
It will be soon time to upgrade. What do you think iPhone users will upgrade to? Apple just needs to stay slightly ahead of Android, Phone 7 and others, then throw-in some "wow" factor in order to keep selling millions of smartphones.
Call me an eternal optimist but I think this is actually a great news story. Let's start eF1 racing as races tend to provide continual improvement and innovation.
I certainly hope it will be a warning sign to other companies. However, since they can get away with a rather small fine, and pass on the cost to the customer anyways, I'm not quite convinced it's an effective deterrent.
Everything mutates. Our universe seems to be wired this way. What's more interesting is that mutations are passive.
A Transformer does not "mutate" into a vehicle. But a mutation might impact the speed or effectiveness of the transformation. The result might be a tactical advantage over other transformers. This advantage would incite female transformers to prefer the newly mutated transformer and help propagate this newly acquired mutation through procreation. Don't blame me, I didn't invent anthropomorphism.
AFAIK Apple doesn't have a bad rep for not supporting Flash on the iPhone. It's Xerox who has all the blame since Macs and all Apple's products are really copied from Xerox systems. They didn't support Flash either. Also Microsoft Windows is really a DEC VMS system so blame Digital if you have problems with Windows.
Adobe just released a HTML5 player as well. Surely, this means Flash's future will no longer be based on ActionScript but HTML5. Consider it the new platform and with a nice framework, it might just be a win for Adobe.
So you don't buy games, don't use high-end graphic cards and don't particularly see the benefits of improved performance and lower power consumption (and cost), yet admire the engineering. Congratulations, you're now an adult.
Ridiculous. That cost is simply going to be passed-on the consumers. They asked for addresses before they had value, now they got it and it's theirs. Period (unless there are clauses in the agreement about having to return the ranges not in use). I unfortunately wasn't that quick and have to pay for a static IP.

Clearly you underestimate the power of Jobs at bending light and controlling photons. All you need is a singularity in the right place in order to direct the light where you want it to be.
Look at it this way: you buy a CPU at $200 with one core. A year later, you need more performance. Instead of trashing the entire computer (ram, cpu, and motherboard at least), you simply pay a mere $50, unlock 3 more cores, booth the clock by 100% and throw-in hyperthreading. You'll extend the life of the unit for at least another year saving a few hundred dollars. Make it 6 months and another 6 months but the idea is the same.
I might work great if the price and options are right.
I remember Microsoft once said they were not interested in translating in a particular language (Chinese or Russian?) as they would only end-up selling only a single copy of the OS. I suppose they have since decided to publish in all languages and help foreign governments help themselves by issuing repetitive lawsuits. I'm wondering if this type of foreign influence is legal in the US.
The way I read all this anger that the iPhone is really the best smartphone out there and some people feel it's a disgrace that Apple has the affront to control it the way it does. Otherwise, they would simply purchase a Samsung, Nokia, RIM or HTC smartphone and be happy with it.
This is chat I have right now. Works great. Even get skype on your mobile so you know if they "called." I agree with top poster. This is almost free and very effective. For me at least.
Agreed. The rf spectrum is at full capacity and signals at every frequency are being constantly broadcast. WiFi only represents a fraction of this and it is ridiculous to link the symptoms of these children to it. It might be interesting to build a Faraday cage around the schools and see if symptoms go away.
Commercial FM broadcast signals are usually the worse.
insufferable idiots not prepared to make the compromises necessary to stay in a long term relationship
I fail to see the relation between number of partners and compromises towards long term relationships. You can have many partners each one can be in a long term relationship.
Note that just a few porn stars iPhone users can skew the statistics. Also BlackBerry users are business men who would not necessarily disclose their promiscuity even anonymously. I'm really worried about droid users.
It is in fact heavily slanted towards, not exclusively about, Linux and Open Source. Since we all love technology, I see no reason to dismiss outright any particular vendor.
What Apple did was package a solution based on a vision.
Creating a better tablet PC which runs Windows 7 lacks vision and like to be an instant fail. People don't want to run applications the way a PC does. they want a new way to do things. This is what the iPad/iPhone/iPod delivered and what Microsoft will need to better. It isn't going to be, for me, a question of technical features but rather the ability to get things done efficiently with as little overhead as possible.

Google does no evil, therefore it is the German government which is ill advised.

You make it sound like tech support and documentation people are not essential roles. I'd fire you right now for such a statement.
Also, how many is that? 1%, 5%, 50% of the entire project??

Yes, I'll make you sign a waiver where you agree that I can kill you. That'll certainly protect me.
Apple makes what they think sells (i.e. is useful, innovative, etc.), is simple to support and cost as little as possible to make.
Clearly you underestimate the power of Jobs at bending light and controlling photons. All you need is a singularity in the right place in order to direct the light where you want it to be.
With alternate emphasis:
Fuck! Steve Jobs.

will not touch an iPhone even with a 10 foot pole
Sorry to hear about your restraining order against the iPhone. Apple has once again gone too far.
A simple legislation can give more powers to ISPs and policing agencies to perform such actions. Provided of course they are constitutional.
