and it has absolutely sod-all to do with actually making a decent design.
And where did I say anything about decent design? I didn't. Stop arguing against yourself, it's rude.
And two years from now, the "proof in the pudding" will be all the news stories about "well fuck, how did the iphone fall that fast?", just like the similar stories for the past two years about the downfall of RIM and the Blackberry.
Are you serious? Fantasy passing for argument now? I won't hold my breath, btw.
Oh, OK. You didn't pay an ounce of attention to what I wrote. As I said to your sibling, IT DOESN'T MATTER. The proof in the pudding is their amazing sales. It doesn't matter if you and the rest of the one percenters don't like or if it fails any kind of standard test, they obvioulsy figured something out.
Shorter: My "clue" was generalized. Your response was specific, and therefore missing my point.
"If you ever get lost, press this button to start over" really made the experience simple for her.
Which, according to TFA, would change to ""If you ever get lost, do this hand motion on the screen." Yawn.
Thanks also for making my point for me. Nobody but geeks give a shit about Apple's "failed" ergonomics. People here need to stop bitching about being one percenters and maybe learn a few things instead.
Eh, I don't get the hate. As someone with ridiculously large hands and fingers, I find using iOS a lot easier than some of the teensy keyboards found on other smart phones.
Point is: It's not black and white, and Apple's success in this field obviously means they have at least a clue what they're doing. Listening to most/. geeks, you'd think the opposite was true.
I do consider myself part of the moral community, as long as we remember that every has 'em and they're subjective as hell. Your genocide comment is a good example of that, as history is replete with genocidal monsters who considered it a moral value or objective (as did their followers).
As for the first part of my post, I'm just sick of these individuals piping up with "I associate with these people but they don't speak for me" crap. Maybe if you spoke up more often, and to them especially, you wouldn't have to be so damn defensive.
Oh, toddle off. As a member of the moral community, I can definitively say that the vast majority of us have no interesting in micromanaging your life.
Could you do us all a favour then and tell your "minority" to STFU? When you let them do all the talking, they'll naturally come to represent both them and you.
Getting back on topic, this story is more than a little disconcerting. I was raised to believe that the Moon landings represented the pinnacle of American gumption, values, and achievement. And now, all of these years later, we discover that this seminal event was corrupted by the presence of hardcore pornography. Maybe I shouldn't act surprised, but I always thought that the NASA astronauts were better people than that.
Read The Right Stuff. They weren't better men, they were adventurous men. Your mistake.
Why can't you just use your PC? Everything you need is available there...
Well, except a couch, a large flatscreen, surround sound, not having to show normals your cable-infested pit with the huge stack useless drives in the corner...

Holy fuck you people are dense. Where did I say it was superior? You haters make the fanbois look sane.

But I will bookmark this and see you in 2 years
They don't have a clue on interface design.

Not really.
Not really what? You're saying they don't have a clue, then list all the ways they have a clue? I'm confused.

Giffords face (original claim) or name (current claim).
I never made either of those claims. Calm the fuck down before you hurt yourself.
Well, that's engineers for you. To them, humans are at best dirt in the machine.
Well yeah, she took it down.

That never happened you lying Liberal son of a bitch.
LOL. Sarah sez: You're the lying son of a bitch.
Trick question. The answer is range-fed person.
If they can pass a Turing Test, then they should be treated as persons.
Could someone mention this to the anti-abortionists?
Having seen this behavior a thousand times, I was rushing to agree, but then it occurred to me that you're overcomplicating it.
Just because they're Pavlonially excited doesn't mean they know all the nuances of why they're excited.
Should a stupid person have less rights than a dolphin?
FUCK YES.
And in response to the obvious question, I'll happily eat Long Pig.

Rapidshare may be legally right, morally they are very wrong.
Kinda like the US' decision to invade Iraq, eh?
Bring on the flamebait mods, bitches!
I feel sorry for the mailmen in that town. (Wait, wasn't there a building here yesterday?)
Especially this one.
You say fiasco, I say popcorn tummy ache.
More like the other way around. I started outside, and have been working my way in my whole life...
I don't have a basement, you insensitive clod!
