Personally, I decided Sony must be destroyed during the Lik-Sang debacle, but the rootkit and disabling Linux on PS3 pretty much make a perfect triangle of hate^H^H^H^Hcrazy.
FTFY.
Really, it's just a corporation. An entertainment one at that. Expending any energy beyond deciding whether the products contain value for you or not is highly irrational.
I mean, really, I feel like a moron for ever knowing that they allowed price fixing -- even promoted it -- inside their borders and then believing that stopped at the rim of the continent. Right now the only question is how many markets is this happening in?
Yeah! We need them to stop artificially raising prices through fixing so we can artificially raise them through tariffs!
Perhaps you would like to point to another definition of "monopoly" that can be enforced by federal or state laws, jackass!
Lemme check again, cause I'm pretty sure I didn't mention being enforced by Federal or State law, hmmm, nope. I didn't mention that either.
What I mean is, that either Apple can be safely ignored due to their underhanded practices, or they are a de facto monopoly, even if they don't fit some official law.
Hey it is only 80million + devices versus um how many for android again?
I love how in one breath the Apple-ites are claiming Apple doesn't have a monopoly and in the next they are saying developers can't afford to the miss the market.
We have a two party system. There is no third option. The country had a choice of sticking with the party that ran the country for 8 years or going with the other party. There was nothing else. Sure there are third party candidates here and there but none of them have any real support of the population to put them as front runners or even on a ballet. That is why we have President Obama
That's also why we had President Bush. Twice. Well, three times actually.
Now, if the people at Adobe pulled their thumbs out of their asses and got to work on creating a small, lightweight, and resource efficient flash player for OSX, then Steve might reconsider. Until they do, then i'm glad that it's not on my iPhone.
If Apple allows it and it sucks, then it's Adobe's problem. If Apple disallows it to begin with then it's Apple's problem.
Besides, how can you be glad it's not available? You don't HAVE to use it. Or even install it probably.
How easy is it for a customer to obtain proof that they were or were not texting at a given time?
How easy is it for Law Enforcement?
Is this proof permissible?

...he's not one to talk.
Oy. Warmed-over Libertarianism, anyone?
I just found the juxtaposition amusing.
It seems the only time we're not concerned they're under-charging us is when we're concerned they're over-charging us.

Yeah! We need them to stop artificially raising prices through fixing so we can artificially raise them through tariffs!
Do you have any information to back up this assertion?
Yeah, there was this study in this Chinese journal...
3. Here's real-world problem XXX, sketch out a solution and describe the algorithms+data structures involved.
You definitely need a hardcore programmer to solve XXX problems.
Bad, incompetent, non-oversighted, half-assed regulation which was never intended to serve the customer created this mess.
Despite the best intentions, there is rarely any other kind.
I dunno. If you're chicks had junk I'm not sure I'm all that envious.

Hmmm, did I say according to the Sherman Act? Lemme check my post, nope, not there, okay, nope, not there either.
Phew, because I didn't mean that at all!

You gotta choose one guys...
If you don't like it, stop using your iPhone/iPad/iWhatever, use something else, and get on with your life.
Check. Will do, thanks.
I bought a slimmer model later and the screen was fine. Maybe the launch units were the only bad ones...
Anyone who buys a consumer electronics device at launch deserves what they get... higher prices and lamer hardware.
I'd laugh at the iPhone 2G purchasers, but they funded development of my iPhone 3GS so I really have to give them credit...

So yeah, good luck with that.
That's a space exploration plan!

Bare hands can still be lethal.

Someone needs to submit a story about this.

Also, the iPhone auto-correct for typing does not seem to work.
Thank Gof.
But then I'm evil... I smuggle in a $1.25 candybar in my pocket instead of buying the $30.00 1 pound chocobar.. at the concession stand.
You pay $1.25 for a candybar? Sucker! I buy the milk and cocoa and make my own for pennies!
She never even noticed because she was too busy punching the phone's keypad.
Wait, so she was talking on the phone and punching the keypad? Or did you follow her and see both these things happening?
Something's not lining up here...

Probably not, but I am one of the 99% of people that can do basic math.
