Victims of there own hype? Weren't there recently people queuing up at one of the New York stores just to get their hands on the last shipment of the current iPhones?
Or perhaps it's more because of reasons such as Apple wanting to re-invent voice mail and AT&T were the only people who would agree to do some work on their end for a change. I have no trouble believing that many of the carriers simply didn't share Steve Job's vision and didn't think the iPhone would be as popular as it has been. I mean, we are talking about American cellphone carriers here -- perhaps you are forgetting that? But I'm sure you prefer to blame it on Evil Jobs, either way.
But it is the equivalent of what they do, and I think that's the point: there is no point in trying to stop video rentals because there are still legal ways to work around it. I mean, why could the buy-back not be negotiated as part of the original sales agreement as defined by a membership contract? At least that's the impression I got.
Ever heard of the word "reduce"? Or do think all those people telling you to stop using oil products actually mean every single product and right away?
Greenpeace should think about how much more it would harm the environment if you had to drive to an arcade to play electronic games like you did in the 1970s.
If you're going to make an argument against Greenpeace, at least make it competent, OK?
Are you telling us that people only ever went to the arcades when they got in there car? They never had to drive in for other reasons? And even so, that people who go to arcades have the same game player habits as people who have a console?
Also, are you saying that the chemicals used in the consoles when disposed of incorrectly are less harmful than the average equivalent of extra car pollution generated by going to the arcade?
Do you have any stats to back up your first claim? What about if it was just the consoles and games were all downloaded?
You see, I just don't get why so many people here immediately go into some self-defensive mode whenever the subject of environmentalism and Greenpeace comes up. Without organizations such as Greenpeace, as annoying as they may sometimes be, make sure that at least people are aware of environmental concerns. Or do you think sustainability is just communist propaganda?
I just don't get this hatred of Greenpeace. I don't agree with many of their activist type activities, but they are generally harmless, and certainly not like a terrorist's. But then again, where I live, Greenpeace are know for being the victim of state terrorism. The French are lucky the have such good cooking.
All that blurry transparency is just too much. I'm not even sure OS X was that bad before they toned it down. And look at all those icons - it's insane.
We don't even have Apple stores here. Apple has always been known for it's more intuitive interfaces, even before they became popular with the iPod and iMac.
I do have one concern, though: Those turbines don't appear to have any protection in from of them, and the inside ones look like they are in range of his hands (perhaps the photo is lying). I imagine an ex-fighter pilot has his wits about him, but if I was flying it, I'd be worried about losing my fingers in a moment of stupidity and forgetfulness.

Why do people pointlessly speculate about products that don't exist yet?
Techolust?

"You can buy DRM-free MP3s for your iPod or other portable device for just 79c more."
I think that's called blind faith. And I think you'd need a lot of it.
Are you saying that anyone who decides to pay for quality in an OS isn't informed? You aren't making much sense.
Gimp doesn't even come remotely close for many people.

Err... what if you are just an "informed consumer", and had simply made up you mind about what product to buy before you decided to go out and buy it?
There isn't? When did this become news?
Big corporations HATE new.
;)
Except their marketing departments, of course.

With words like "eco-terrorists", why should anyone take you seriously?
It's not fully automatic -- you still need to fire the shutter 3 times, but otherwise, yes. At least on the 400D.
No affordable lens around has the resolution I want for landscapes. Photo stitching like this is the only way I can get the images I want.

My only other concern: When can I buy one?
A Cessna would be cheaper. Just take off from an unpopulated area and keep low. Range would also be better, more payload, too.
In other words, no need for the paranoid thoughts.
And what problems are you helping solve in order to advance society?
So, because you can't see something in detail, it has no use? In an FPS, or a flight sim, I'd like my peripheral vision, thanks.
Does it still count as success if you eat your food source to extinction then die of starvation?
And you're sure that would be as practical? I'm sure the engineers think about these things, too.
