    web/IM/email are the *ONLY THREE THINGS* done on any PC in an average home.
    Yup!
    After I use the camera to edit and post the pictures to the web the picture frame takes the little memory thingie right out of the camera, so does the printer and the printer lets me copy them to another memory thingie. the IPad plays music while I do the other 3 things, the big screen TV is hooked up to an Apple TV it plays music through my stereo and puts the movies on the TV the XBOX takes care of the games. The PS3 plays the rest of the high end games and plays Blue Ray and the Wii is the exercise unit and also streams Netflix

    With this arrangement at my house and an IPad at the parents (they hardly ever play games or stream movies) I don't have to go over the their house and fix their stupid Windows piece of crap that always falls off the network, gets a virus/malware or is being crashed by Flash!

    it would be of no real detriment to Apple.
    Except in the cases where the reason for the rule in the first place happen to apply of course.

    Wow, Apple expects their developers to actually follow the license terms they set forth for inclusion in their store? Bizarre... what an unusual request I don't know who wrote the app but it seems that they should have done more homework to make sure they could satisfy all the restrictions of the licenses governing the software they were trying to release. Id encourage any developer with an app to sue for their right to distribute code any way they desire without having to abide by silly licenses. Seems like a pretty straight forward misreading of all the rules to me.

    Actually they have many times, sometimes buying out the offending software to the great delight of the authors. Do a little research please.

    Just goes to show you the amazing lengths spoiled children will go to to get momma to give them another cookie! If they can't comply with the license it should be pulled and should never have been allowed in in the first place.

    Ok I'll take the flamebait.... Because when Android came out on Verizon you couldn't actually use that connection and still talk on the phone. I don't like single tasking devices Multitasking is great unless you can't do the two most important things you want a smart phone to do at the same time. So I'll wait and be able to tether my computer and get a phone call at the same time. Android may be coming to ATT then it will be valuable. T-Mobile is useless as it has no connectivity in my neck of Los Angeles.

    Yes except the human factor of always wanting to be paid. I believe that some people can be altruistic some of the time, but no where was there ever a volunteer police department and I don't really want a police force made up of people that want to be cops badly enough to do it without pay. That's like not paying politicians to keep them incorruptible?

    How do you replicate a road. Who will put that road where you want it. There is quite a lot of infrastructure that your replicator doesn't solve. Why would the police keep working and risking their lives if you have nothing they need? You need some coin. It sounds like in your world the only coin left is sex. Ya gonna blow the whole fire department once a week to keep them on the job?

    You are not making any sense. You obviously have never had to earn a paycheck. Even if you only need energy to replicate things that has to come from somewhere.

    Ok so you like the socialist idea of firemen. Why would they risk their lives putting out the fire in your house. I don't know many firemen that put out fires as a hobby. I assume they have replicators too and don't need anything you have. What coin will you use to get these altruistic geniuses to put out your fire?

    You don't even understand the premise of the replicators and how they're supposed to work. Read the previous posts again.
    Yes I do quite well, but I'm assuming real world functioning where energy is required and raw materials are required. If only energy is required that still has to come from somewhere.
