  1. Re:i guess apple hasn't learned from MS and IBM on Apple Patent Points To iMac Touch Running OS X and iOS · · Score: 1

    Your analogy sucks. AOL was always cartoonish and for noobs. Apple actually has a pro and enterprise line along with their consumer line. You're just seeing the ads for their low-end stuff, as opposed to when they advertised their towers

  2. Re:Steve said... on Apple Patent Points To iMac Touch Running OS X and iOS · · Score: 1

    Nope. There's a reason Apple makes a consumer and a pro line. If Steve thinks the desktop is too hard for most users, he'll relegate it to the pro line, but not remove it completely

    No, apple LOVES blind people, but the Author's guild may not love them as much

    Filtering and sanitation equipment? You mean you can't just drink it from the river straight, like the bottled water commercials show you?

  5. Re:Riddle me this on Sweden Defends Wiki Sex Case About-Face · · Score: 1

    Look at his track record. Leaking the Kenyan government's report on corruption that they quashed, the 9/11 responder tapes, the Icelandic bank scandal, etc.

  6. Re:How long afterwards does it last? on Anti-Depressants Used Against StarCraft Addiction · · Score: 4, Informative

    "Zoloft shock" is not the same as an addiction. If you decrease your dose over time, you wean yourself off of it. A precipitous drop in Zoloft messes with your brain chemistry, it's not the same as a withdrawal craving.

    Can't they just give official permission then? That's still defending the trademark right?

    What would be the point of an SD slot when there's no UI for the filesystem on the phone except via iTunes?

  9. Re:pathetic on Pakistan Lifts Ban After Facebook Deletes Offending Page · · Score: 1

    Does facebook allow swastikas? Anti-hindu hate groups?

    No, Facebook's TOS bans hate speech. The page was meant to be hate speech, nothing more. It's gone, and we can be a better place because of it. If you're upset it's gone, post it on your own webserver and leave us alone.

  10. Re:Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him on Extremists Warn South Park Creators Over Muhammad In a Bear Suit · · Score: 1

    Baloney. Muslims value human life in all forms, don't stereotype Muslims as all "treating human life as superfluous." That's like saying all Christians are gun nuts.

  11. Re:Gotta love... on Extremists Warn South Park Creators Over Muhammad In a Bear Suit · · Score: 1

    They are angry that not only is the US invading and bombing Muslim countries, but that they are making fun of their prophets. The US keeps denying that they are bombing the countries in a war over religion, but idiots like South Park only perpetuate the stereotype. That's why you don't see Christians getting violent over this stuff.

  12. So? on Steve Jobs Recommends Android For Fans of Porn · · Score: 1

    Apple allows "shake the baby" iPhone app and gets bad press. Apple changes, restricts their store and removes porn and they also get bad press. What can they do?

  13. Re:iPhone - NOT on This Is Apple's Next iPhone · · Score: 1

    Apple denied that was the reason. If that were the case, why not lock the sim? They don't, and T-Mobile announced their own MicroSIMs. AT&T will even swap yours for a microsim now

  14. Re:Flaw? on NSA Develops USB Storage Device Detector · · Score: 1

    OS X is not more locked in than Windows. Apple open-sourced their Kernel, and you can download DarwinOS for your PC for free. They open-sourced their web browser (WebKit) and use GPL tools at the command line

  15. Re:Quite the opposite on Google Preparing iPad Rival? · · Score: 1

    Flash won't work properly on a touchscreen. How will it tell the difference between a mouseover and a click? Ever tried to use the javascript toolbars on an iPad or iPhone? You can't navigate those sites even with a flash plugin

  17. Conclusions? on Adobe Evangelist Lashes Out Over Apple's "Original Language" Policy · · Score: 3, Informative

    People are jumping to too many conclusions here. Apple updated the developer terms, and has not confirmed that they will shut Adobe-compiled apps out. The compile-flash-to-iPhone feature from Adobe is vaporware anyway for now, as Adobe hasn't really shown it that publicly yet. Appleinsider is reporting that the ban is not from spite but for technical reasons; as cross-compiled code may interfere with the proper multitasking coming out in iPhoneOS 4.0.

    I won't get mad at Apple until it's confirmed that they are shutting it out. Apple selectively enforces it's developer rules (they let Google's app through when it used private APIs), and Apple hasn't commented on the Flash-compiler controversy. No, a ranting Adobe evangelist has as little information as you or I do at the moment.

  18. Re:We are all living in the world of Steve Jobs on iPhone OS 4.0 Brings Multitasking, Ad Framework For Apps · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Watching the developers on Stage, I didn't get that impression. The Pandora devs said it only took a day to modify the app to run in background. Not bad.

  19. Alternatives on Son Sues Mother Over Facebook Posts · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I suppose simply unfriending her would not be feasible. (Maybe she'd take away his computer if he tried or punish him or something)

    There are clear and easy alternatives. Delete her posts after she makes them, or even better, use Facebook privacy controls to remove her ability to comment on his posts. I'm kinda surprised he didn't put her on Limited Profile, like everyone else seems to do. That's the best because people don't always realize they're being shut out of something.

  20. Nope on The Apple Two · · Score: 1

    Nope, this is a silly argument.
    The iPhone/iPad/iPod universe may be closed, but the rest of Apple's OSes aren't. MacOS open-source their Kernel with Darwin. They open-source their web browser, WebKit. They include GPL software with their OS, including Apache and a slew of other BSD apps. Heck, you get developer tools for free with both MacOS and iPhoneOS.

  21. Re:Apple has made Microsoft look "open". on The Apple Two · · Score: 1

    Baloney. Does Microsoft open-source their Kernel? Apple does with Darwin. Do they open-source their web browser, like Apple does with WebKit? Do they include GPL software with their OS, including Apache? Can you get developer tools from Microsoft for free like you can with Apple?

  22. Re:Who advocated rounding up the arab population? on Will Your Answers To the Census Stay Private? · · Score: 1

    Daniel Pipes, Michelle Malkin, Michael Savage all supported the idea. Ann Coulter wanted their countries invaded, leaders killed, and everyone converted to Christianity, but she didn't mention internment.

    You know, if you stare at it head-on it'll burn your eyes out. But it's hard not to. I once took a pair of binoculars and stared at the Sun for over an hour. Curiosity I guess...
