Well, he's not exactly wrong. His last quote was from 1970, and according to you, the US was out of Vietnam by 1972 - so that's two years, plus or minus a few months. His math might have been a little off.
Apple gets your payment method on day 1, and makes it easy for you to buy stuff with successful instant fulfilment. Google has a crappy dysfunctional checkout system and make no attempts to collect your payment details until you decide to bite the bullet and buy an app. At that point, they make the process painful and unsatisfying so that you are put off from ever trying again.
I actually prefer Google's way. It helps me save money by discouraging impulse buying. After a year of using Android, the number of apps I've purchased from the market can be counted with the fingers of my two hands. OTOH, I've heard of people spending hundreds, even thousands, within a week of getting an iPhone/iPad, because it's just so easy.
Then blame it on the parents for making it possible. If I am ever going to give my kids handphones, I would make sure to
1) Instruct my carrier to disable carrier billing
2) Not register any credit cards in Google Checkout for the phone account (in the case of Android phones)
3) Keep my credit card numbers away from my kids
4) Tell my kids not to buy/install anything online without my permission.
Firstly, my error was a simple typo. So my finger didn't hit the r hard enough. Big deal.
Secondly, I was not being a grammar nazi. I was not commenting on the grammar. What grammar? It was just a single word! "This." There was no grammar to comment on!
You post would have been perfectly fine without the first sentence, which is not really a sentence, but just an irritating, context-less word. What the hell does "This." mean?!

And iOS has *much* more software available, including software that people actually *want*, like Netflix, Hulu, and Skype
I don't suppose you could give example software that are not totally irrelevant to people outside of the U.S.?
Honestly, why was I modded down for this? It was a valid question.

Most? Is there even one Muslim country where porn is not outlawed?
This has always been against the law technically, though not a "criminal offense".
Honest question - what's the difference?
The reality of the situation, however, is that nuclear technology could be ... means of ... power generation ...
That's what Iran's been telling the US all along.
It's BS and I can understand why the Malaysians are pissed.
FTFY.
Turmeric's not curry. In fact, where I come from, meals with curry and meals with turmeric are often mutually exclusive.

What, you mean masturbation was a sin in the Dark Ages but it's not now?
I must have missed the memo.
Where can I find the passwords?
That's the second time you refer to the iPhone as "the real thing". I can assure you, my HTC Desire is pretty real.
Mango's a fruit, like Apple.
"Apple" in the context of computers/electronics is not generic.
You're the reason for this.
As a Jew, why would you care about how Jesus is depicted?
(2) "Images" includes, but not limited to, a visual depiction, video clip or photograph of another person.
Emphasis mine.
Instead of working to make abortions unnecessary...
Well, anti-abortionists think that abortions are never necessary.
... but no one is forced Not to do anything.
The fetus is forced Not to be borne.
Whoa! That's the best idea I've read today.
Holy proportional font, Batman!
Bring it on!
