What's wrong with having released services that did not succeed? The stereotype of the Apple Fanboy loves EVERYTHING that Apple puts out, simply because it's made by Apple. Those two services just show that the stereotype is not true.
Then they assume that Voyager is a primitive life form, upgrade it and send it back to Earth to merge with its creator. And wipe out any "Carbon Units" that get in its way.
How is that different from nobody being able to remember what they chose as their.com domain name? (Are they mycompany.com, my-company.com, or mc.com)?
It's not a HUGE problem. It's an annoyance (notice I said. "It was annoying", not "It was awful and ruined my whole vacation"). I had a passenger, I could save time by starting to drive while my passenger set up the GPS, it was annoying that it wouldn't let her do that while we were moving. And since we didn't always remember to set it beforehand we had to find some place to stop to set things up.
In many US states it's also illegal, unless you use a headset or other hands-free device.
Charging people to turn their phone off for them seems silly, but I guess it might be attractive to parents of teenagers. Put it on their phones and keep them from talking and driving. That assumes, of course, that it's not easy to remove, or it sends reports to someone when it is uninstalled.
We had one of these in a rental car once (a standalone one, not a built-in). It was annoying because even though my wife was the one trying to set our destination and I was driving, it wouldn't let her change anything while we were moving.
Everyone who owns a home or rents pays for public school. You may not make enough money to pay income taxes (but your employer pays payroll taxes, and you pay sales taxes, etc), but if you rent your landlord will be paying property taxes, and THOSE are traditionally where the bulk of school funds come from. You by paying your rent, you are paying for school.
So if you're paying for it whether you take advantage of it or not, you can consider it free
If the parents don't feel comfortable teaching the subject matter, they should find a trained professional to do so. The best place to find these professionals is at a place called a school.
The best part is the state provides you access to these schools for free.
And if Captain Kirk had to bring the Starship Enterprise back in time for another load of whales, and crashed into a bridge? Well, there goes the future, destroyed by angry space-whales.
There's no mention of damage to the bridge, and the shuttle suffered only "minor wing damage". Not every catasrophic.
Since the shuttle will never fly again, the wing damage shouldn't be that big a deal, just make a cosmetic fix and you're fine. If the shuttle fleet were still in use (and this was a real shuttle, not the test model), someone would have to do a serious examination of the wing looking for defaults.
If the only locks available had keys that didn't fit properly and took multiple attempts to open, while not stopping any real thieves, I'd consider it.
In that case, insurance companies will add a clause revoking flood coverage if water levels exceed that expected by the historical-based predictions. The developers will then cry to the government for a handout to save their investments.
Everyone knows there will be plenty of copies available on release day, so there's no reason to preorder. But Gamestop needs to lock people in (and collect a bit of cash early) so they get the developers to add special preorder bonuses. Preorder today or you won't have all the shiny gear to show off in multiplayer. While you're at it, why don't you pay an extra $50 for a poster, and some dogtags and a cheap statue, all in a bigger box with foil highlights.
You'd think these random searches would find someone... IF you were a terrorist, wouldn't you be testing the TSA, finding out what you can get through security... If you can convince people to blow themselves up, surely you can sacrifice a few to get caught by security.

Obviously, because the author and his friends don't use it, it's a failure. What other evidence do you need?

This has to at least be the third time we've hit some definition of "The edge of the solar system"

Well, you pay for it whether you send the kids there or not (or even had kids).
You have to buy various supplies for the kids, but you'll need to buy those at home too.
And it comes with free daycare

Move linux development to kernel.corn?

It's just the Enterprise, not one of the shuttles that was actually launched.
We should return it to NASA. "This one's broken, we want to exchange it for Atlantis"

I've got a great new idea. If you can solve the Captcha, you're obviously not a human and are denied access.
Reminds me of laws that forbid school districts from building for future growth.You can only build enough schools to match your current population.

I bet the people who stopped to report they were having sex quickly become much less happy, as their partner storms out of the room.

Are we really worried about a bomb small enough that a little girl could have taken it from an adult and kept it hidden after a brief hug?

I'd be happy to board a plane where neither the little girl nor your young Arab had to do anything but walk through the metal detector.
