This was proven wrong in the Firehose. You'd think given the flood of comments that maybe/. would issue an update/correction. Don't let that jerking knee hit you in the chin. Apple's KB article on the topic: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2446
Nah, why people make fun of him is when he said in a speech condemning Net Neutrality: "I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o’clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially."
Assuming he meant email, is network congestion so bad that it takes a weekend to send an email? More likely he doesn't know how to use a computer properly
Pretend for a moment that I'm a biased neo-nazi. Google's tailored search would put stuff that confirms my biases first, and demote sites that might disprove my suspicions and conspiracy theories. Enough people already fall for the echo chamber as it is, not letting Google jump in on it.
Adam Savage from Mythbusters was present, and twittered about the day's event, including being mentioned in Obama's speech and even posted a photo or two of meeting him and Dean Kamen.
Precisely. If you open enough lockers, you'll find marijuana eventually. However, a dousing rod will give so many false positives that it's easier to just random search. However, people always ignore the false positives and only remember the time it actually "worked."
Michael Shermer, famous Skeptic, gave a TED speech on "why people believe strange things." He actually brought one of those detectors out on stage, and said that US public schools were buying it as a marijuana detector, and paying hundreds of dollars for it. Looking at the image in the article, it appears to be the same device.
At this point, I trust the democrats for fiscal restraint over the republicans. Clinton balanced the budget, Bush hyperinflated the debt. Obama insists on a deficit-neutral health care plan, Bush said national security and the wars took precedence over whether it was affordable or not. McCain claimed he would cut debt, but refused to say what he would cut, only listing things he would exempt.
The natural gas is a red herring. If Iran uses their own, they can't export it. Lack of exports means their economy goes down, and their strategic relationships with other countries that import it can't happen. Nuclear power is still a plausible and legal option for them.
Regan did so pretty openly against the USSR, but nobody seemed to care. Israel has been threatening to nuke Iran, so when Iran threatens to attack back (no mention of nukes) it's now an issue?
I like how Apple lets me track my iPhone (and even laptops to some extent) via MobileMe. The iPhone (or iPod touch) shows up on a google map on the MobileMe website, and updates live with location./. posted a story about a man who recovered his iPhone (though he acted arguably foolishly by showing up unarmed to collect). Also noteworthy was a woman who used the Back to my Mac feature to login to her stolen laptop, access the webcam and snap and email a photo. OS X Snow Leopard is said to have location services built into the OS, we may see an expansion of the tracking services in a few months
It's not viruses, it's malware that's an issue. Malware can't get very far in a Unix based OS, but they can do enough damage like erase your home folder, etc.
IIRC, in An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore stated how he was trying to get the ice data declassified, though it may have been in the Clinton years and onward
The problem is that Palm apparently is faking the Apple Vendor ID, which Apple is against. Apple has established sync APIs for any developer, including iSync and Sync Services, but Palm refuses to follow these and tries prying into proprietary APIs. Palm is looking at trouble from the USB standards board (whatever its called) for forging IDs

Apple's KB article on the topic: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2446
I think you're right, especially since Apple has this KB support article on the topic: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2446
Actually, this is not correct: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2446
that's a bit hyperbolic of an analogy...
It has a built-in microphone, although it wasn't mentioned in the keynote
I think the fact that the Kindle is immensely popular proves your argument wrong. The iPad outdoes the Kindle in almost every way too

You assume that users will be following open source-related news sites and will catch on immediately
As any pilot will tell you, helicopters don't really fly. They're just so ugly that the Earth pushes them away.

According to rumors, a CDMA/GSM phone could be in the works

Impressive trolling. Obama is drawing down the troops, as he said it would take a year and a half. He's almost done

Is Google about to go head to head with iTunes? No, but they are about to go head-to-head with Amazon.

I hope they don't use this to build the Agony Booth found in Star Trek.

Or maybe people don't want to be mugged by crackheads. Ever think of that?
