Not everyone works for Fortune 500 companies. There are many small businesses and schools that do not need Microsoft's expansive (from their point of view) software.
Keynote and Pages replace 99.99% of what most office workers due in PowerPoint and Word. Plus, they're more intuitive and have better graphics capabilities.
The phone was LOST when the person left it on the counter.
The phone was STOLEN when another person pick it up off the counter and put it in their pocket.
Understand now?
Is it just me or has the IQ of Slashdot gone down drastically? I can't believe a Slashdotter can be so ignorant and that another marked it "Informative".
Is that it's not an open platform.
That's an important point to many of us here.
That's true for a computer, not for a consumer device. How many people on Slashdot really care if their home theater systems is open? The same with an iPad/iPod Touch. It's a consumer device for consuming media of all types.
It's not for general computer. It's a media/game machine. Yes, you can try to use it for work, but only when on the train or in the park with the kids.
Let him/her see how poorly you work without music. Miss some deadlines and have lots of shoddy code. Then blame it on the noisy atmosphere and lack of focus-enhancing music.
Maybe there's something wrong with me, but I hate having a clunky phone in my pocket. At work, the phone stays in my computer bag or gets put on the desk. At home it stays in the computer bag or gets put in place where the kids can't get it. But I'm strange, I hate cell phones.
I've marked many a student at my school late because they don't have watches. "I didn't know what time it was. We're not allowed to have cell phones." "Get a watch, then get off my lawn!":-)
I've written 3 rough drafts to children's novels while sitting in the playground watching my children play. I could have used a computer, but than I would have to worry about thieves, sand and rain (I still worried about rain, because I would have hated to get my Moleskin notebook wet). Cursive writing made my writing almost as fast as my thoughts and didn't cramp my hand up.

I can see why you posted as AC. How you can interpret the article the way you did boggles my mind.
A friend and I would go 1/2 and 1/2 for a game. Then we'd have to photocopy the manual!

Unfortunately, GW stuff is all people in Sweden play. I mention other foundries and games and the Swedes eyes just glaze over.
.99 in the appstore costs 7 SEK. .99 in the music store costs 9 SEK.
A friend's brother once stole a huge construction vehicle and then tried to sell it on e-Bay. The police arrested him soon after.
I'm sorry you feel this way, but what does it have to do with the State of California perusing a criminal case?
Receiving stolen goods, corporate espionage. The iPhone was stolen. The finder should have returned it to the bartender or to the POLICE.

He did not do due diligence. He should have gone directly to the police with it.
