Interesting. Here are three more datapoints. I have a first gen iPhone that had crappy reception (and zero Edge) at my workplace--underground downtown Minneapolis. Recently I get -no- reception in the office... But two co-workers (also underground) got the second gen iPhones and they are getting great signal strength AND 3G, too. I am tempted to upgrade, but as a smoker I am forced to the surface a few times during the work day where the reception is fine.
I work for a company (a bank) that seems to apply a trade/service-mark to random word combos in at least every third or forth sentence of any marketing--even internal materials. I envisage a child claiming "mine" all the time or using a label maker ad nauseam.
How can you say that with any certaintity when you don't have the worlds underground hammering at your door every day for years on years? I believe the mac is simply.... You may be partially right, but that line of reasoning is entirely relative to market-share -- which is one variable. If you ignore the other parameters, you have a compelling argument.
To illustrate, consider this text-book style fallacy: Juan claims metal baseball bats are just as likely to break as wood ones. "Because metal baseball bats aren't used as often* they only seem to be stronger. Believe me, if guys used metal enough, you'd be breaking bats all the time. So stick with wood."
You can now be certain metal bats are as weak as wood?

To anyone considering Drupal for their project I simply say this: If you must use Drupal, do it yourself. Interesting take. So you'll either have to learn it or pay someone to do it? Must be a computer cult... Plumbing or construction don't have these wacky rules!
No one buying these low-end machines can tell the difference. Fact is the promotional specification advertised in this case is really too vague to mean what the litigious goons are hoping. I put this in the same class as the byte counting from a couple years ago (kibibyte vs kilobyte).
I'm right there with you on this. Tivo (which I do like a lot) has just been squeaking by in terms of innovation. They drag their feet on anything beyond the Windows platform. And by golly, if Apple were able to do PVR, without pissing-off the "content providers", bing!
You're not too bright, are you? Do you really think Viacom wouldn't call anything remotely a bluff? Yeah. A team of lawyers cowering at the prospect of litigation. Ha!
For the record: Carter is not anti-Israel. Only a hate filled neocon could disparage Carter's work as mere photo-op.
@jcr "Reagan Meant Well..." Hmmm. He actually meant nothing. Old Gip' was just a self-styled brain-dead cowboy with a background in ACTING! (with Lil' Olie as the rhetorical errand boy, sent by grocery clerks...)
I'm a devotee of the TrackMan wheel (small thumb ball). My thumb never gets tired--it's impossible to wear out your thumb with little flick motions! I've had the corded and cordless. Yeah, cordless sucks. The quality quality control has been hit and miss. I agree it would be great to have a BT-HID version.
The Kensington turbo mouse (I used for years) is almost as bad as any mouse for me.

People lose out by not being able to borrow from the ideas that they have prematurely labeled as 'false', even if they turn out to actually be false. This is why I tend to root for the String theoreticians. Since I have no religion, I yearn to see an miracle break-thru. Until it can proven invalid, I want to see skeptics back off. Besides the hope, ya know, the mental exercise...

Dead giveaway. Fools, the MALware has the capping wrong. FAIL!

Nice screed. Both bad. EOL

Not so amazing when you think about how shitty these career politicians really are. "Certain people" get it.
You mean you'd never "boi" an iPhone. I never boi'ed one either.

Well, aren't you the dumbass!
Whoa there! Idiots post at Digg. Ask for directions.
That shut 'em up. Thank you!

In other words: Wahhh! Apple is soooo evil. Gimme a Zune (or better yet a Walkman 'cause it's more ethical!)
WTF? I love how the Chinese are thrown into the mix as further proof that your jihad is righteous.
Someone here pointed out that Apple tried to dissuade the record companies from forcing DRM.c id=18164502

Thank you! I thought they had already come out against DRM.
Actually, any strategy that gets M$ focused on yet another task, other than making better software, is a sort of innovation, isn't it?
Parent corrects a bunch of the pervasive misconceptions and fallacies.

They have a long way to go before Apple even has the power to be nearly as evil as MS!
(Your average Mac-basher keeps saying "Apple has only 2.6% marketshare anyway" for crissakes.)
You... friend me good...
Nice post! Sorry some douche with mod-points buried your thoughtful efforts.
PS: Ease up on the atheism a little! Most so-called Christians have an enormous amount to learn from their savior.
