I think it is safe to say, without even a hint of hyperbole, that Steve Jobs is a fascist. As soon as censorship becomes a "moral responsibility", something has gone deeply wrong. Supporting Apple is supporting the death of the creativity and freedom that the company likes to pretend it nurtures. Think too different, and your work will be dragged out in the middle of the night and shot.
Wasn't there a car called "Nova" [0] that totally failed in South America?
[0] No va means "no go" in Spanish.
Bzzt! Wrong! When you consider that "nova" is a Latin word, it stops making sense that they wouldn't know what it means in Latin America-- it doesn't even pass the sniff test.
A region that has 6% of the population of the United States has a lower unemployment rate? What a shock! How well do you think your policies would scale to a country the size of America? My guess is not very well. It's a lot harder to provide that sort of social welfare when you're the third most populous nation on earth. If you're going to going come at us with your smug sense of superiority, you could at least provide some constructive criticism.
As BoingBoing Gadgets' Rob Beschizza points out the fact of the matter is that the iPhone's not selling in Japan. You can argue all you want about why this is, but unless you're Apple's Japanese marketing director, it's largely irrelevant. No amount of ranting about perceived bias on Wired's part will change the numbers, all it does is prove that diehard Apple fans are immune to reality.
Why do the ISPs keep acting like victims? The fact of the matter is, they sold their service promising a certain level of speed. Now, when they can't consistently provide what they promised, they blame content providers and their users. It's their fault for over-selling.
I don't know about anyone else, but I don't think piracy is to blame. Its the music industry's inexplicable urge to present themselves as greedy, morally bankrupt fat cats who don't care about the artists, or anyone other than themselves really. I just can't bring myself to financially support those assholes, so I don't buy music.
What Loss of Control? They've got final right of refusal on everything that goes up, and they hold the only means of distribution. If that's a loss of control, I don't want to know what it'd be like when Apple is totally in control.
Personally, if there's any addictive activity that I think should have a warning associated with it, it's foisting responsibility off on another person or object. Nothing is anyone's fault anymore, it seems.
The classic controller, in general, is a big disappointment. It's light and feels cheap, feels awkward in large hands, and the sticks lack the tension that made the Gamecube sticks so wonderfully precise.
I "unbricked" my phone back in October. The iPhone development community built a utility that rebuilt your lockstate tables way back then. Welcome to the party Apple.
It's got the best web experience of any phone on the market, bar none. Between the multi-touch interface, the hardware scaling, and Safari's excellent (as phones go) rendering engine, it's fantastic. I got an iPhone in September after using a Windows Mobile smartphone (the Cingular 3125), and my data usage went up by a factor of 10 because the iPhone's web experience was just that much better.

Facebook owns Instagram, so it seems unlikely.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
The password reset issue is not intentional. Normally Sony would email you a URL with a security token in it, this is required to reset your password. As it happens that security token can be gotten from another form if you have a user's username, email address, and date of birth. Kotaku has a list of steps used for this exploit: http://kotaku.com/5803070/sony-playstation-network-password-reset-page-exploited-customer-accounts-potentially-compromised
That's because it is an MD5 sum

That should about cover the cost of fixing the red ring of death.

>If T-mobile didn't suck so hard and the Sidekick wasn't marketed to douchebags, I'd probably go back to owning one in a heartbeat over the iPhone.
One might argue that the iPhone is marketed to douchebags as well. That seems to be Apple's core demographic.
How did they fit a tempest in that teeny little teapot? This is almost definitely a case of a very vocal minority.

Well, I guess it's worth a shot...
I foresee someone hacking this system to return goatse as the #1 result for every search made.

By "small minority" you mean almost 18% of all iPhone owners.
