I can imagine what Norton Antivirus will look like on the iPhone. First, everything would run slower, battery life would be cut in half, and a huge yellow annoying banner would attach itself to the browser reminding you that you are "PROTECTED BY NORTON ANTIVIRUS".
I would have to agree. A laptop is just another thing you have to worry about getting stolen, broken, etc... There are plenty of internet cafes where you can check your emails. As a general rule, I try to minimize the number of valuable things I bring, so I don't have to worry about them. A guide book (such as Lonely Planet) is quite good to have for maps and sights.
For a few seconds there, I thought you said grade school. Made me feel very inferior:) Wouldn't the complexities of programming it be handled by a compiler? If someone managed to write one for a 1 instruction processor?
I also cannot think of any case where I would want to save the 20s it takes to fill in my credit card info. The benefit to the consumer is, by entering the credit card information again, the consumer knows he/she is being charged for something. Usually, consumers want to know what they're buying, so they would pay much more attention.
I'm sure there's a law prohibiting companies from giving away credit card information without your consent. But these websites get around this by showing customers a consent form, where the customer enters his/her e-mail address, which contains the agreement in fine-print, which no one reads. If you explicit disallow the merchant from transferring information, regardless of consent, then I think it would solve the problem.
Then aren't ALL ISPs also facilitating copyright infringement? Isn't Cisco providing the network technology for copyright infringement? Isn't Intel providing the ability for consumers to download illegal material from the Internet? Isn't AMAT, a semiconductor tool manufacturer, guilty of providing Intel with the tools to make microchips for copyright infringement?
A law that explicitly disallows merchants to give credit card information to another party would fix this problem. If the merchant forwards you to another party, then the user must enter the credit card information again.

After browsing, I found only 1 bid on a backgammon set for $500K. Not much volume on this site, yet. In any case, this is a very bad time for luxury goods.
Although I understand that argument, I really believe that this type of behaviour is holding back Apple. I think that OSX CAN be a huge threat to Windows, if they allowed it to be installed on any PC. I would imagine that many people would LOVE to ditch Windows and install OSX on their Dell laptops. The MacBooks are too expensive compared with other laptops, which is why a lot of people just suck it up and buy a Dell with Windows.
For those who ddn't RTFA, exercise is still good for your health! The article just points out that you can't lose weight unless output energy > input energy. ie - exercise more and eat better.
What's retarded is that is secret? Why is this secret? Why is the copyright treaty secret? The only conclusion I can come up with is that they're up to no good.
Although the parent is modded Funny, I think he makes a good point. If we make this thing sound so horrible, it would have to be made public. We should assume the worst if treaties like this are secret.
I just watched the ad on youtube, and I don't find it misleading at all. Verizon has better 3G coverage than AT&T. But I do see the point that non-techies might interpret no 3G coverage as no service at all. But since the ad isn't saying anything false, then I don't see how this lawsuit would succeed.
While the FCC thoroughly investigated Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction, they allowed Clear Channel to buy up all the radio stations without even blinking. When Sirius and XM wanted to merge, they took years to decide whether strong competition against terrestrial radio should be allowed (Clear Channel and the NAB lobbied against the merger hoping both Sirius and XM would fail). The FCC is useless and should not be given more power.

Me too. I wouldn't be surprised that "Automatic" in India meant someone getting paid $1 per day to listen to calls all day.
Mod parent up as funny. He's clearly joking, right?
Mininova replaced Suprnova, and Mininova will be replaced by another site. It's like playing whack-a-mole, except there are 1000 moles and 1 hammer.

Is anyone surprised at this result? Verizon advertises its better 3G coverage. It's true. Simple as that. No more debate necessary.

But rock beats scissors! but scissors beats paper, and paper beats rock.... hmmm quite a conundrum.

Or people who are afraid of getting an anal cavity search because the fear sniffer might label them as a terrorist?

You know the answer. The large media corporations.

This is absolutely brilliant! Think about the number of jobs that will be created as a result.
