Maybe the cars could have AI personalities, like cautious, aggressive, or FastNFurious. You can set the AI based on whether or not you're in a hurry or how you feel that day.
I know anecdotal evidence isn't valid, but I've always wondered where are the Androids? A few people at work have Android phones, and I see them around town, sparsely. As for tablets, I saw a Galaxy Tab last year and one this year. Other than that, I see them on the shelf at Best Buy. Almost everyone is carrying an iOS device. These reports of Android's crazy market share would be a lot more believable (to me) if they were consistent with physical evidence.
As much as I like the idea, Rabin said, "But if a particular hardware feature becomes popular, standards to implement that feature in the browser will always follow,"
Speculation: I was thinking maybe the parts of everyone's files are kept encrypted on other seeders. So, if you use 100GB, you must also donate 100GB to the cause for others' files. When they say the files aren't kept on remote servers, they mean centralized servers, like DropBox. Interesting concept...
I was hoping Server 2012 would be the saving grace, like Server 2008 was when Vista came-out, but no, 2012 has Metro, too. For me, Windows == games-only now.
Agreed. The "artificial slowing down of the phone to make you upgrade" is an absolute lie. Apple doesn't do business that way. What about the documented no-update-support-whatsoever on Android "to make you upgrade?"
It's funny. MS is always touting you need Windows for "real" work, but the only reason I even keep a Windows box is games. I believe there are a lot of/. people out there who are the same way.
Apple's maps are great; there is no disaster. It's all media hype, b/c some neighborhood names in San Francisco were not the most popular names. I just took a 1,500 mile trip, and Apple's maps were incredible. "Siri, find me directions to X." Done.
Copy it to your Droid and hit play; there are no restrictions or DRM. Also, you can re-download anything you bought since 2003 DRM-free under "Purchased" on the right side, in the store. Apple super-promotes these features; I'm surprised more people don't know about it. As for syncing, Droid people will have to make their own software (I'm sure something exists); that's not Apple's responsibility. The iTunes library (playlists, ratings, etc) is saved as SQLite (iTunes Library.itl) and XML (iTunes Music Library.xml) in the iTunes folder.
Furthermore, Apple isn't abusing it's power since it's their store and they can do whatever they want. Fortunately, they fight for consumers.
That was written in 2007; DRM was removed in 2009. Also, now with iTunes/iCloud you can re-download any previously DRM'd tracks, so even old stuff can be (legally) DRM-free. There are no more restrictions of any kind on music; it's now up to you to stay within the law. I believe Apple agreed to the whole iTunes LP thing (to sell more full albums), so that consumers could get DRM-free music.

Reusability and modularization - those would've saved me a lot of time.
iPhone or iPod touch may be the controller...
Now we know; no need to click on those ads anymore!
How about my car just takes-off? That way, I only have to control one device at a time.

So if you want cutting-edge apps, go native.
You can buy non-Apple chargers, but they meet Apple's spec:
http://www.belkin.com/us/Device/iPhone/d/IPHONE?q=::categoryPath:/Web/WSPWR
Apple is asking people not to buy counterfeit or unauthorized ones that don't meet the specs.
HDMI == AirPlay
SD-slot / USB == iCloud
That's how Apple handles those issues.
Also, I don't believe any iOS battery is soldered; they all have detachable connectors.
That's what the article was saying; what should content creators do instead?

Interesting, what justifies troll?
Then what damages does Apple deserve for what Samsung did?
Should it be ok for one company to do this to another?
http://bgr.com/2012/08/08/apple-samsung-patent-lawsuit-internal-report-copy-iphone/
I'd be angry if some company did that to me. Google warned them:
http://allthingsd.com/20120725/apple-google-warned-samsung-against-copying-us/
What justifies, "and rightfully so?"

Microsoft Office - Rated M for Mature
I was too envious to finish the rest of the paragraph...
This battle brought to you by Webvan and Pets.com.
It would help if Microsoft convinced users like me that their platform is so good, we'd be fools to go anywhere else.
Metro was created to convince you to go anywhere else.

how do I tell which button you clicked?
The 4 and the 4S have the same screen size, 640x960.
