But those aren't all my songs though, I have a lot of songs I got from CDs, Amazon MP3, free downloads from bands, etc. On the other hand I can do the same thing through my phone and get -everything- faster, plus, on any halfway modern OS, you don't have to install anything.
And you move them from one computer to the other you use your phone with a USB cable instead of any form of network. You are my hero.
I'm a dreamer I envision a day when the truth is the only acceptable and legal form of advertising. Any time a company falls short of that they pay triple the profits they generated as damages and that goes into a public fund so that victims can make claims against it. In this current day and age I'd expect that fund to be worth a trillion dollars within a couple of years.
Ahh, so you want to drive all those phone companies out of business, who spend much more on advertising than Apple, and have ads where using their phone assembles huge crowds in seconds adoring you, or allow you to take the sun from the sky. Good idea.
So? Do shows become worse somehow a few months later?
Ermm? What part of the implied "see an episode before the next episode, wich you may need information from the missed episode for to fully understand/enjoy" did you miss? Do I need to write out everything in this place? How much did you enjoy "The Rockford Files" To Protect and Serve: Part 2 back in 1977 before seeing Part 1 sometime in the 80s?
What neither you nor the other "used DVDs are cheaper" guys understand is: you may be able to buy a DVD half a year after the season ends - but you can rent the episode before the next episode airs. Have fun seeing the episode you missed a year later.
It's going to play havoc with Google searches until Google figures out the difference between Cisco IOS and Apple IOS. Many a router will suffer for it though.
Easy: Cisco's IOS is the one with the plethora of bugs, and the stupid CLI (a mandatory space before and after a pipe? Overly long descriptive commands that require you to enter 5 or more single letters even when they are unique after the third word?)
This is what it has looked like for a long time. iOS is on their every other line of devices and the walled garden apps economy is a significant money maker for Apple.
That was my first question: how does the combination of a very closed system like iOS combine with the openness of OS X?
The same way it works on a notebook with a browser or media player in the BIOS, I guess.
Be fair - its "advanced" functionality that comes with a modest but non-zero set of additional responsibilities for the user, along with a moderate amount of additional power. If it was truly "basic functionality" then there wouldn't be many millions of people quite successfully and happily using their devices without it.
So jailbreaking an iPhone isn't neccessary either. Thanks for the confimation.
It isn't just anti-jailbreak, it's patching a pretty serious security flaw.
Well, if they had taken longer, it would have been a story about Apple taking so long to fix a security hole - now its a story about Apple hurrying to stop people from jailbreaking.
Side note, careful with the word "application" here, since it's generally got a different meaning in patent contexts. Let's just grit the teeth and say "iPhone ap".
My wife recently used the (Dutch) word "applicatie" to describe patches/badges on our son's shirt. I was thoroughly confused.
That's an "applique". Be glad she isn't German, there it's "Applikation" - which also means application.
Web stats are very unreliable. We know that Symbian, RIM and now Android are outselling the Iphone platform, but they show up less on web stats. They're not even included at all on your reference!
Which could mean that very few use them for browsing, because the experience isn't that good. But that's something a fanboi like you could never even consider.
I dont know why you consider this absurd. Playing a game of Civ where the Indian civilisation violently conquers North American civilisations is the very definition of "alternate history".
You've played Civ before, right?
Slashdot Mirror
Flash on any platform is shockingly bad.
But on the iPhone it would be so great, it would rip apart Apple's business - that's why they don't allow it.

So how is your printing on Android going?
Quicktime does not properly use either ASLR or DEP. The application is at fault.
You have to "use properly" a security feature that is build into the OS for it not to break? Who is the fanboy here?
BTW, why will this bug only work with IE? Gee, maybe its a bug in Quicktime that does nothing if the browser uses ASLR or DEP properly?
Eh? It seems to me that it comes down to needing a subpoena in order to get access to a public employee's work product.
"documents related to the work" != "work product".

Only on Slashdot does "being the first to actually use an open standard" equal "locking people in". Damn Luddites.
I didn't have a 3gs, but an old-school 3g.
I know, but the 3gs is still on sale, and for half the price of the cheapest iPhone4. And without the attenuation issues :)
There's no doubt in my mind this iPhone gets the best cellular reception yet, even though measured signal is lower than the 3GS.
Looks like some crackpot mod is calling Anand a troll.

but I've never seen anything an "Apple patent points to".
Apple Hints At Future Liquid-Cooled Laptops . Apple Patents 'Chameleon' Computer Case Apple Applies For Rotary Mouse Patent
Apple patents may point/hint/suggest a lot of things, but if they come out with something, it's unlike what Slashdotters claimed it would be.

the obscuring of the keys, it is plain stupid.
A stupid trait it shares with an actual keyboard. Ooops, hadn't noticed that, eh?

Same thing has been said about (among other things):
the Sun's surface rotates in 28 days.
You mean some average rotation of the surface? Because at the equator it rotates in 25 days, at the poles a little over 34 days.
Germans are Nazis for having RFIDs on IDs, and Luddites for not allowing electronic surveillance on the workplace.
How important are JavaScript times to the overall speed of rendering pages?
Gee, why don't you try loading Slashdot on KHTML-Konqueror and tell us about it?

That's an "applique". Be glad she isn't German, there it's "Applikation" - which also means application.
Hell, did anyone read the submission which flat-out states that the illustration is just an example of a possible use of the technology?
I haven't bothered to read it, but doesn't this mean that the application would be covered by the patent (exactly what you're saying isn't true)?
No. Whatever gave you that idea?
