How is it anti competitive? They are not the only smart phone maker, and there are other ways to install software on their phone. granted they do not actively support or acknowledge those other methods but they exist.
I do wish you people would grow up and stop harping on this monopoly shit. A monopoly is the perfect place for a business to be in and is not illegal.
I don't have Apple's best interest in mind when I buy their products. Frankly I don't understand why anyone would expect them to have your best interests in mind. What exactly are you warning me about?
If your website doesn't have prices and a shopping cart, visitors will not buy your products. Seems obvious huh?
Or you might not be selling anything. Seems obvious doesn't it.
Well that's because there wasn't anything, strictly speaking, illegal done. So which person who was within the law and following the guidelines set down by the powers that be would you send to jail. I vote the first person who recommended sending someone to jail. Report to the pen. Hatta!
Wow, another idiot that thinks that hitting someone for not going far enough is a great way to get them to go further. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth, so I think I'll just stop doing anything that even stinks of green.
Ok, insightful may be true but I find the usefulness of this rant lacking. Please green fanatics get this through your thick heads; never pound on someone who is trying to go in the right direction just because he hasn't gone as far as you would like!
To "Incorporate" means to be rendered as a corporeal entity for the purposes of agglomerating the income from said entity into one. Said entity must pay taxes like the rest of us corporeal entities. But instead he says, nope sorry I made all that money in the Bahamas not here so it's not really in your jurisdiction to tax me. So instead of paying his due as the rest of us are expected (because we can't afford to have our mailing address in the Bahamas, cause we actually want to be able to get credit here) he pays the pittance that the Bahamian nation charges and we say Ok that's alright. But that corporation takes advantage of being in this country with all it's infrastructure and services while paying as little of the legally (ordinarily) levied taxes as possible.
Yeah sure lower their taxes and take the income due a small Bahamian nation to pay for our infrastructure. Why not, it's better than nothing I guess.
Yes, I've seen the teacher make a marked difference even in the scenario you present. A good teacher will reach the percentage of the kids that actually want to learn and they will do well. A bad teacher will accept the situation and refuse to try to reach any of the kids and no one will benefit. A good administrator will now the difference. A teacher's style will also make a difference and a good administrator will place teachers where they should do well. We have a situation in most of our schools where the administrators (far too many of them too) do not do their job and support the good teachers and move the bad ones to places where they can at least do little harm. The powers that be (I'd be tempted to say "Unions" but hey maybe I'm wrong) have made the firing of a teacher so nearly impossible that most administrators no longer bother to try. I've seen it in the schools near me where my son attended and they are some of the best schools in California. I've seen both situations where the teacher was not suited to the students and the teacher merely put in the hours with far too little effort to adapt the curriculum to the students.
My teaching experience was with the Army and teaching programming courses to post grad adults, in the first case they were there because they had to be in the second they wanted to be there. Had to use a different style in each case and the effort required to teach in the Army was ten times the effort to teach the post grad students.
I honestly don't know why people waste time asking this question. It's a freakin' mouse. 2 buttons and a wheel. Most people don't use more and some don't even use that much. Get Bluetooth it takes up one less port.
Analysis complete.
I don't understand what you mean. Apple has done this twice is the last fifteen years, IBM has done it several times and so did DEC. What's the big problem. Some pain as you move and translate your data to a new paradigm then onward and upward. Even when the apps are as big as a whole database its rarely an earth shattering problem. Just labor intensive for a short time.
Same as always, this isn't new and has been solved many times before. You guys act like Microsoft was the only company to ever kill off a popular OS and move to one that no one really liked. Migrating to a new OS causes a short amount of temporary pain and then you move on.
It didn't seem to be that much of a nightmare for Apple when they still had classic mode under OS X. Maybe they could talk to the Apple folks and ask... Oh yeah, never mind!
Until European advertisers pay the American TV networks, they will only release in a fully supported (financially) market. The restrictions placed (by the EU) on people who want tons of money just handed to them are keeping our TV in our country. Please communicate with your representatives in your respective governments and allow these jackals their pounds of flesh so you can have the same drivel that they feed us.

Because Apple doesn't want to sell it!

To pull what off exactly?
In that case, yeah it might be illegal, but who lied, the consumer or the loan agent, who decides?
Ok, fair cop.

Could be pushing a very short sighted agenda too!

Why not expect the companies to make their operations leaner too. Seems to be what you want government to do?
Socialism is a straw man used by the largely irrelevant right wing to make the populace afraid to take what they are due!

Nope ears were covered in preparation FOR the big bang not after.
Well for some definition of ears and some other less likely definition of before.

It's really only that secure if it is only connected to the .mil network. Connect it to the internet and poof!
Haven't seen old school programmers have this much fun arguing since the days of rec.arts.programming and rec.arts.software.engineering.

This question alone is probably the most compelling reason to not adopt Linux as a desktop solution.
The Apple versions are 64 bit. Why?
