its not that they are content its that there has never been a real need to until now. Like the do not call list, once people get harrased enough they fight back.
the problem stems from our government, since they are the once we have elected to do this kind of thing for us, but they very well are getting paid by companies like verizon to make sure those companies can screw us harder and harder without being effected by laws.
You forget Vietnam? The US government loves testing on protesters before deploying things. Many types of tear gas and non-lethal ballistics have been tested on our own people protesting the very war those things where going to be used on.
Funny and the way I looked at it her past behaviour as a evil sith lord in training was all the flamebait needed. I mean its like Faux news and Fionia are made to complement each other.
As a IT Technician one of the things that annoys me to no end is how terrible our payroll setup is. We run software designed for 98 not because it is good (its terrible) but because our business admin refuses to upgrade and had threatened to quit if we did.
Considering we pay her half what a BA in the business world would make because she works in education.. her quitting is not a option for my district.
Apple themselves have stated its a 5 year contract, 2 year EXCLUSIVE deal, meaning they will be working with AT&T for 5 years, but only 2 of them will AT&T be the exclusive dealer.
nope its the case for any trial. If one side knows about something that can effect another case they are in, they are obligated by law to let the other side know about it or risk the whole cause being overturned on appeal.
No one.... it has been said time and again, Halo was a TRILOGY. Just like Marathon ended at game 3 and Bungie wouldn't budge on that, so will Halo and thats a GOOD THING.
Id rather 3 good games, than 3 good games and loads of crappy sequels to cash in and unlike Mario or Zelda or others where they all remake themselves in some way, there is only so much you can do with a FPS at this point before it stops being a FPS.
actually as many people here have pointed out, it very easy to scientifically prove one wire is better than the other. The problem is audiophile companies and magazines spend large sums of money to debunk true scientific studies as they would cut into the bottom line once people learned the truth of how seriously they are being lied to.
1) in a true double-blind test, your data set is large enough to weed out personal opinion.
2) We are not testing performance of a human, which can change, but performance of a electronic component that accourding to these sellers, is perfection and can never change or degrade.
3) I cant believe you are so gullible to compare art to snakeoil.

iPod touch isnt a iPhone.
That in it of it's self is the difference. The iPod touch never once was sold as being a iPhone without the phone, it was sold as a widescreen iPod that used the iPhones touchscreen technology.
Microsoft doesnt have to worry about product lines eating into product lines in this way. They hardly HAVE a product line and want to save the few remaining people they have left after that disastrous first release that resulted in them being the butt of even late night TV jokes.

And as was pointed out by numerous people in that thread, Apple does that too IF the previous gen iPods can support it with their chip/memory. My 1st gen iPod got a number of new features over its lifetime, as has my fiance's mini, and her sisters nano.
A simple search of Apple's download site would pull up a slew of Firmware upgrades for all their generations that added new features to older iPods.
In what universe is it reasonably likely that an update that just adds a revenue stream for Apple (iTunes Wifi store) would brick a device just because it's not locked to a particular service provider without malicious intent on the part of Apple?
In the one where Apple doesnt have AT&T breathing down their neck planning their own lawsuit for not protecting AT&Ts exclusive rights contract that AT&T paid big bucks for.
Well considering just about everything they have done up there to this point is just a retread of experiments they did on the Shuttle or on Mir... yeah they havent done jack up there they didnt do before.
because at 5 years its a complete waste. For a agency trying to justify its budget they have to do MUCH better than that. Even the military, the budget hogs of the US manages to get 30+ years or more out of the things it buys. Just look at the F-117, B-52, C-130, fleet of Aircraft Carriers and support ships etc.
Apple has a exclusive contract with AT&T. When the exclusiveness of said contract is being threatened, I think the carrier is going to bitch to you to lock your fucking phone better.
If Apple knew, or should have known, that its firmware will destroy an iPhone regardless of after market modification, it *MUST* exercise care to prevent this from happening.
Nope. State and Federal courts are quite clear on the fact that the manufacturer is in no way obligate to support a item if the user manipulates said item so as it is not covered under the agreed to contract or warranty. Since hacking your phone to allow it to use other carriers SIM card both voids your AT&T contract AND your warranty with Apple, Apple legally has no obligation to support it at that point.
And if your wondering how they came to know this courts wise, ask your local cable company. This is why its completely legal for them to burn out all the tuners in your house with a firmware upgrade to kick off people who are hacking the boxes to steal cable. A least in this case Apple isnt knowingly doing it unlike the cable companies who actually flat out broadcasted that you WILL get your equipment burned out if you put illegal stuff on their system.
If you agreed to the contract you really dont have a right to bitch about it, in my experience there are just as many who pay overtime as there are that dont. My contract actually gives me time and a half for working overtime/weekends though I dont take advantage of it as much as I could.
The only person in my department who gets no overtime is my manager, who at a 130 grand salary, and with nearly a months worth of vacation, I dont think he really gives a rats ass.
you dont think the whole Twilight World wolf thing was different from Ocarina? I mean there is not a huge difference between Mario 1 and 3 but there thats vast... but there IS a difference here.
Pokemon is not his, nor is Mario Kart. And Zelda was because fans pushed like hell to get him to do it, the mechanics of the game though play very little like Ocarina.
but your certainly of the "every story that doesnt matter to me but night matter to a couple thousand other people I must whine and moan about because I'm a big fucking baby" folks.
Feel better though, it could have been another Apple story.
because then you run into issues with the RIAA and MPAA who want the iPod locked down even harder than it is. At least by having it somewhat locked Apple can reasonably say that they tried to prevent users from hacking it so its not their fault if people do.
Apple rarely fights hard when it comes to hacking of their products. Often any "fix" they give out is easily removed by people in such a way that it is obvious Apple wasn't even trying.
You have little far to look at the "please dont pirate this software" code in OS X intel.

since the software for the iPhones whole purpose is based around the AT&T network, yet it does mean they do not have to support it.

the coverflow is only one aspect of the redesign, even the menu system has changed.
Well for what it's worth the UI is also different.
no no no thats the Walmart version.
