If you're worried, I suggest you turn off location services, delete the location cache from your desktop and restore the iPhone to factory settings. Problem solved... such as it was.
... most of those scientists could afford their own labs. Not because they had a lab, then discovered something, but because they discovered something, then bought a lab with the proceeds from that discovery.
Actually, I think you'll find that many, perhaps most of those scientists were actually either independently wealthy gentry who pursued science as a gentlemanly hobby, or were lucky enough to have wealthy patrons.
I've just got an iPad 2 here in the UK. For me the 3G is only occasional use when away from WiFi, consequently 1 Gig a month has proved ample. and for £7 a month, that's fine.
There's no such thing as 'microevolution' and 'macroevolution' there's evolution.
What, precisely do you mean by 'gained information'. We're talking random chance coupled to fitness here. If someone throws a die and it lands on 6 five times in a row, has 'information been gained'? When a population of copper-tolerant grasses evolves that manages to live on mine spoil tips, is information gained? Antibiotic resistance in bacteria? The ability for a flu virus to mutate and survive in humans?
I am reminded of a line from the comedy series "Twenty Twelve". "Is it just me, or is the common thread running though these possibilities that they aren't actually possibilities?"
"Sorry boss, can you pop that spreadsheet onto a floppy for me, so that I can open it on a quarantine machine".
You'll need to nack and see how many iPad-specific apps were ready when the iPad 1 launched, a fair few, I seem to recall, including Apple's iWork stuff.
Now, I've only read the summary, but it strikes me that Search is *not* Google's castle. Ad sales is the castle, search is the... the... quarry from which the rocks that build the castle are derived. Handily enough, the quarry is circular and moat-shaped.
I remember our science teacher getting a very large steel drum, putting some water in it and heating, then quickly screwing on a tight-fittning cap and dousing the thing in iced water. It collapsed on itself in a satisfyingly noisy way, showing just how substantial atmospheric pressure is.
What parents have *actually* done for years with kids is used various distraction techniques. Speaking as a parent, I can attest to the difficulty of keeping a 2.5 year old standing placidly by your side while you load a week's groceries into shopping trolley is a pretty hit and miss affair. I never had to resort to an iPhone, but I used to take a book or toy with me.
It is left as an exercise for the reader to decide whether a book is "as bad" as an iPhone.
Given what you say, is there anything stopping companies like Readability simply providing an iApp that lets people read, but not subscribe, thus circumventing the Apple tax?
And yet I buy music from iTunes, despite the fact that I can find the same tracks for free online. I think it's a long way from being a foregone conclusion that this thing will fail. If it is nicely packaged, a good read, and works well with the device they have already bought it might well be a winner. Particularly in locales where people commute to work in trains sans internet connections.
OK, I'll stick my head above the parapet, because I'm interested in getting opinions.
Let's assume for a second that the kill-switch proponents are acting from the best of motives. They are worried about the potential for a huge, effective, external Internet attack on critical infrastructure, that could do the worst things - cut power, stop water , turn all the traffic lights red - you've seen the movies.
They are concerned that it such an attack occurs the population will be screaming "Why didn't you plan, why don't you stop it, how come you can't turn external connections off, you bozos?".
So they are planning and worrying - as they should.
What is wrong, in principle with a killswitch, if the correct checks and balances are in place? What is a better solution?

Yes they did - that's what 'getting a court order' means.

How about opening an Excel file on a computer that can access a computer that can access a computer that can access the database?
... would I have fallen for such a phishing attack? And the answer is - yes, quite probably
and I wonder, how would I protect against it? And I come up with very few practical ideas.
Anyone?

I'm more concerned by the fact you think that 2011-1700 is roughly equal to 2000

One more vote for real experiments.
I've no idea why you have been moderated flamebait, this appears to be a rather insightful question to me.

In Soviet Russia, english language students knew the difference between "cue" and "queue".
You don't want an iPad, you want one of those nice little video projectors that take a thumbdrive/SD card.

So you're against - you know - looking at the merits of the individual patent case then?
Who cares how thin/light it is? Anyone interested in using it as a book reader

Even if it's a real photo, surely that is susceptible to attack through something like TinEye?
The grammar's fine. What it actually *means* is something else entirely.
