I know, I must be new here, but I read the article. He took away her cell phone before she went to bed (possibly making this a premeditated assualt), but she was able to use her iPod to post her plea for help on Facebook (presumably over a wifi connection).
I'm not trying to defend the "cluttered" comment, but if you show the tray you can swipe to the right and you'll see another "trayful" of 4 more apps, swipe again and see another 4 apps, etc. I just checked mine and found 8 pages of tray icons (4 to a page).
So far I'm enjoying iOS4 but have a couple of games that no longer run and am having trouble playing some of my music videos, especially in shuffle mode. I currently have around 50 music videos, but if I attempt to play them on shuffle mode, it will only play 5-10 of them repeatedly. Manually selecting another video will often jump right into one of the same 5-10 that it was shuffling instead. Sometimes I can hit the back button and it will play the video I selected, but it's extremely annoying and I hope they fix it soon.
Does even 1% of the population know or care what Cisco names their operating systems? Besides, it has been mentioned in other articles that Cisco has authorized Apple to use the name.
I find it ironic that in your talk about the "openness" of pens, you use the word "biro", which is a specific brand of pen. This implies that the Biro brand has become so ingrained in your thoughts that you use it to refer to all pens in general, like Kleenex, Band-Aid, Jello, etc.
I used Palm and compatibles (Sony and Handspring) for years as well. A few years ago I was looking to replace my aging Palm and played around with a Windows Mobile phone that a coworker was selling. The hardware was nice, but the OS sucked major ass; I think it was Windows Mobile 2003. When Windows XP was at it's height, Windows Mobile 2003 was approximately at the level of Windows 3.1. The control panel was broken into 3 separate control panels for some unknown reason and you would have to search all 3 to find the settings you were looking for. If that weren't bad enough, some seemingly-related settings were split between 2 of the control panels. The experience left me with such a bad impression, I will never go back.
Probably because they weren't really worth anything before. Now that it's Google, they actually have someone to sue that could potentially net them an actual monetary reward.
Actually I think that should be "you're a pal and a confidant". I don't remember any of the Golden Girls ever being cosmonauts, but I don't think I've seen every episode.
I own an original Drobo with Droboshare, and recently bought a Drobo 2nd generation to expand my capacity. I agree the performance is sub-par. I'm using it through the DroboShare, which is slower by far than the USB or Firewire connections. For my use (mostly DVD rips) it works fine although more speed would be welcome. I have had the first Drobo for more than 3 years and have not had any problems with it. Had I known about the DroboFS a month ago, I would have bought it instead of the Drobo 2nd generation I bought.
I use exclusively the Western Digital Green Power drives, so they run cool and quiet. I can't hear the pair of Drobos at all in my living room, where they sit below the media PC. Granted, the media PC, while relatively quiet, may be covering the sound of the Drobos, but I'm fine with that. The drives spin down when idle for too long, so accessing files after they have spun down can cause a delay of a 10-15 seconds, but that's probably not the Drobo's fault and saves power when it's not in active use.
Another thing Drobo has going for it is it's huge WAF. The design is very clean and the LEDs aren't overly glaring. It blends right in with my media center cabinet without making it look like a datacenter.
Since Adobe is playing the banner ad crap calling out Apple for their lack of support for Flash, maybe Apple can play the same game. Allow Flash content, but surround the Flash content with a "danger/caution" yellow and black striped border with a caption stating that that the enclosed content could be dangerous, malicious, destroy your battery life, cause dogs and cats to live together, etc.
That way Apple covers their butt, Adobe gets to run Flash like the whiny babies that they are, and end-users will understand the danger.
Wow, the picture quality and responsiveness looks awesome. Unfortunately it's $1429 or I'd be all over it (even though I'm not currently in the market for one).
Not only have I bought an app for my Blackberry, the app didn't work and my Blackberry later died and so even if it did work, I couldn't transfer it to my new Blackberry since it was "activated" according to the specific hardware. At least with the iTunes store, I can transfer my purchases to a new iPod or iPhone device.

I believe the viral post you mentioned refers to http://engrish.com/ although they are not limited to Chinese.
Who reads TFS? Everything I would need to make the "Dung Beetle" joke is included in the title.
I heard that the microwave oven was invented after a person standing in front of a radar device noticed that the chocolate bar in his pocket melted.
Microsoft will probably offer to give them free Windows Phone 7 devices. But only if they write software for them.

No wait, "How to cook FOR forty humans!"
Seriously dude, this is not Twitter. Just use the original damn URL unless you've got something to hide, in which case keep it to yourself.
I had to replace the caps in a friend's 2003 iMac last year. Cost only $30 or so (except for my time) and works great now.
This app sounded interesting so I checked the app store for it. Apparently it is no longer available on non-jailbroken iPhones.
Make sure you get the "unlimited" text messaging plan before trying this...
You don't happen to work for NASA by any chance, do you?

It was probably that annoying crazy frog ringtone keeping the bees up at night.

Actually, using the MPAA's example, wouldn't it be more like $100k per person per viewing?

Case-sensitive? That's so 1984. What, do you really have a need for separate bin biN bIn bIN Bin BiN BIn and BIN directories?
I miss the news monster.
