Actually, most phones can do MMS but not e-mail. So basically Apple is locking iPhone users into sending photos only to other iPhone users, plus a handful of others who have true smartphones.
I can't say I don't understand the logic behind it--give users *one way* to send pictures. The problem is that by that logic you might as well cut out the SMS functionality too, since e-mails are just as good for messaging people, right? So because the iPhone has modern features and your's doesn't, the iPhone is state of the art of 2004. As for SMS - at least that is in almost all phones, while most phones don't have MMS.
But why does it have to be state funded? The think tanks and medical professional organizations of this world have publlished a bazillion papers on how to set up a fair and effective free market health care system. Well, and that's about as hard to keep alive as a free market economy. You almost always end up with a monopoly or cartel controlling everything - unless you let the evil gubmint step in, then sometimes it works.
If he got upset prior to actually knowing if this really hurt his wallet, well, I think he'd be defying the very sense of logic that makes him so appealing to many people. What exactly gave you the idea he got upset?
You may not be aware, but the iPhone has an email client - why the hell would it need a crutch like MMS? Because there's a handful of phones that can do MMS but not email? Talk about state of the art.
Funny how you have to back-paddle to "steam locomotive" so your whole "long before the Industrial Revolution happened" stick works. Not to mention that by 1830 the IR had already stopped being revolutionary. You also ignore the effect of burning more and more coal instead of the almost carbon neutral wood and char-coal.
It is interesting, I thought AL Gore was a Believer and the ipcc and all of them were too.
You know, they are saying Co2 is the problem. They are saying it is causing the increase in global temperature and they are claiming that will cause all these unpredictable systems to go haywire and cause volumes of danger and damage.
Maybe you could explain the real problem then. Maybe put it into a real perspective? That's the sound of goal-posts moving. Thanks for admitting you were wrong.
Of course he didn't mind that he only got ellected with the votes from the Communist Party. He also attacked anti-Communists he owns his freedom to as "haughty".
Note what they fail to say in the report: A) that your buddy McIntyre did not make mistakes and B) that if you use the right statisctical methods, the results change in a major way.
Really? How old are you? I remember Rush Limbaugh, for one, making exactly those comments in the early 90's. To wit, he brought up these new satellite results that were able to measure the effect of the full moon on temperatures and then claimed that it was funny that with such sophisticated techniques they still weren't able to measure global warming. There were plenty of ditto-heads who took that statement and ran with it.
Rush Limbaugh is dead from the neck up. And he is not a scientist. Neither are most other sceptics.
As far as warming is concerned, yes there is definitely warming. The Earth has (generally) warmed since the trough of the Little Ice Age in the early 17th Century. Yes. But more in the last 30 years than in the 300 before.
If you're referring to modern warming, the satellite record shows warming from 1979, but only in the Northern Hemisphere. The SH has not warmed at all, which sort of makes a mockery of the notion of "Global Warming" Nope. http://cdiac.ornl.gov/trends/temp/jonescru/graphic s/nhshgl.jpg. The guy you got that from probably isn't a scientist either.
Why don't you do a little personal research on the Mann Hockey Stick? Try to go to sites that cover actual science and not just politics though, okay? Also avoid sites that admit to being junkscience.
I have. Check out Climate Audit and spend some time asking questions about it. Stay away from UnRealClimate because its viciously skewed and you never know when or what has been deleted. IOW you refuse to do it. Instead you go to the site of a (former) mining executive who refuses to admit that the "hockey stick" also shows on all other reconstructions but his own - and the fact why it doesn't show up with him is also well known: he kept ignoring data-sets until he got the result he wanted.
Odd thing that Lindzen doesn't say anything about the pressure from the White House on climate scientists (and other scientists for that matter). But then he doesn't even get his own facts right, e.g. Hendrik Tennekes was supposedly ousted from position of "director of strategy development" not as "director of research" which he held before.
Now, what I am not fine with is how can we claim how unpredictable the climate is and how complex the ecosystem and climate system is and boil it all down to man making Co2? The only ones actually doing that are the deniers. That way they can pretend there is no problem by showing it isn't just CO2.
If it turns out that climate change is indeed happening at a rapid pace, then it's a problem that requires technological, economic, and humanitarian solutions. Commies have a piss-poor record for solving any problems at all (unless you count overpopulation, which they've alleviated temporarily in several countries through horrific mass murders.)

So instead of being stupid, they're gaming the system? Oh, now I feel much better... Of course that will bite them in Meta-Moderation. They should use "Underrated" for that.
I was staff at Purdue when they got burned on a few hundred Mac IIvx's loaded to the gills. I believe those things were around $8,000 each with the Targa cards and Apple came out with the Quadra's at half the price and more power, memory, ect. while we were still taking delivery. A few million dolars to a public university tends to tick people off. Doing that to a top electrical engineering school is really bad. Consequently, it was years before new Macs were supported in any way (although we did have one of the first NeXT labs in the country). Err, I guess you mean the IIfx, because the vx actually came out at the same time as the first Quadras.
The fx came out one and a half years before the Quadras, thinking that they wouldn't improve their top-of-the-line product after such a long time is hardly Apple's fault - esp. when the use of the 68040 was certain.
Thank you again, for reaffirming my faith in Apple Fanboi nature. I'm sure you have something fanboiish to add? Thank you again, for reaffirming my faith in your stupidity. I'm sure you have something even more stupid to add.
You mean, Apple might just develop alternative technology in the background, but not use it, for years and years, until they get fed up with their current tech and make a quick, business pleasing jump, thanks to their foresight and planning? You mean like making parallel developments of their OS for x86?

In politics, that is better known as "flip-flopping". Only when Democrats do it. Else it's called a bold decision.

Yeah, I always have to press submit a second time, my replies to you always take less than 20 secs.

Thanks for doing the unthinkable, posting something even more stupid than before. But you will continue braking every record in that regard.
The X-15 only reached 100 km in 2 flights. 100 km hight is the Kármán line, which is the international accepted "boundary of space".
Ahh, but saying "US Oil companies' interests" could get you in trouble.
