Indeed. This is bullshit. They put out an update to fix it which they really didn't need to do. And why is Apple a special case where you think they should be responsible for third party part? If your garage uses a third party part in your car and it causes a problem, do you blame the car maker? I just had this, bad caliper. Didn't think to blame Honda.
Oh noes! Apple made a decision about how they think their technology will work best and imposed it on users!

Rightly said. I have been carrying a Fitbit for about 2-3 years now. Am I wonderfully fit now? Alas, no. Does it help me stay aware that I need to be more active and help me do so? Yep. If I look at the step number and its not close to what I want, then it can be that extra little push to make me go take a walk or something.
To me its worth it for just that.
"Jailbroken" needs to be in the title of this story and and in the first sentence. It is the critical factor to the story. Not having it there simply makes this a troll.
I found them to be completely unusable. Had to hold my head in a certain position and had to always turn to look at second monitor, could not glance because of the sweet spot thing. Lasted two days, went back and changed to dedicated lenses, happy ever since.
At the corner of 3rd and (if I recall correctly) Mariposa in the parking lot of an abandoned diner, sitting in a rented car writing code that talked to a box on the lamp post through special radios while the homeless ambled along on their business. This went on pretty much every other week for a several months. And this was just at the beginning of when the area was starting to get improved. Fun times.
"but their ID-checking gun seems to default to an unfireable state, which might not always be an attractive feature."
Isn't that the point? So that only the person with the bracelet or whatever can fire the gun? Unattractive feature? Isn't it THE feature?
I'm sorry, I don't know how this got past me, as a resident of Illinois. I've been really busy lately.
On behalf of Illinois I most humbly and sincerely apologize for the frightening depth of stupidity displayed by our state legislature. I suspect it has something to do with the water in Springfield or somesuch.
Well, I don't know if I would go as far as "I love him", but I agree fully with your points. From the point the Apple ][+ hit my hands, I was lost to the silicon gods. He might be arrogant. He has a right considering the advances he has driven.
I agree that is the more expected scenario, certainly. But there is a thing called altruism. Somebody could actually try to do something for the common good.
That being said, I can't say I expect this to pan out.
There are some possibilities that are interesting like perhaps they have stumbled on some new efficiency that is not PM but uses significantly less power, that would still be a good thing. So even if this is a load, perhaps there is some usable nugget buried within.
I will give them the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise and only expect the reasonable, though I do disagree with their methodology if for no other reason than it is suspect.

Are we done now?
So if we only see "No" answers from users in India we then definitely know that there a places that it is blocked, right?
This is likely the dumbest thing I will read today. Assuming, of course, that you aren't going to post a followup.

Look at Wikipedia. 1300 conservative doctors. This is a bullshit article.
You forgot the the "Ron Paul 2012!".

And what dark alleys do you go down frequently? Just asking...no reason.
I guess I should be happy this was the obvious response. I would have added a "...duh".
And did I get first post? How the hell did that happen if i did?
Please let this lead somewhere good.
Did GM also make the bus they just threw those people under?

You are going to hash out what was clearly meant as a joke? I truly find myself embarrassed to be associated, however distantly, with you people.

Its not like South Africa has demonstrated a tendency to hold onto things that are past their time or anything...
I think you mean "Onceler Construction".

Add to this the fact that their heads are firmly planted in their rectal cavities and the whole picture is complete.

Doesn't this just serve to show how screwed up the idea of software patents are?
No, I agree. I have had almost zero problems with speakeasy and on those rare occasions when I needed support, they treated me like I had a brain.
I can't say I have a good feeling about this.
