    That sounds like a whole lot of whining on the editors' part.

    Sorry, but you have that exactly backwards.

    Online publishing is a blight on smart quotes.

    If your publishing can't handle smart quotes, then stop publishing. All they are is a different character. Deal with it properly or GTFO.

    Because one way is a LOT easier than the other way.

    These days, the laws are so broad that you're ALWAYS doing something wrong, so there's always reason for the government to look.

    Not that it's remotely right, but that's how they set it up. And enforce it.

    LOL. We need custom hardware. Apple doesn't need custom hardware!

    Or something.

    Let me know when you get those things over just a USB cable *without custom hardware*. That was the original argument.

    So, you can't point ONE out that can do all three.

    Also the video one is a custom chip so not JUST over USB.

    Also, the audio one is a custom chip so not JUST over USB.

    Also the controls one is a custom chip AND custom software so not JUST over USB.

    Thanks for perfectly making my point.

    A lot of iDevice users believe the fancy ports are better than standard USB ports when in fact they both do the same thing.

    Why are so many people so ignorant on this point?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dock_connector#30-pin

    It contains controls, audio and video, as well as data & charging like USB.

  15. Well, it might get them off line at least.

    Oh, stupid DragonSpeak.

    Then you don't have a very big business.

    See list of supported OSes on VMware:

    Good luck trying to support your business support customers on Mac or older versions of linux or lots of flavors of linux when you use HyperV. Or Windows 95/98/2000.

    Well, then you get a phone that fails much earlier, use the warranty and get another phone!

    Of course, that one will probably require overclocking too...

    They are actually doing things much cheaper. The higher cost of the equipment is not as high as the cost of paying the doctors to take longer to do the procedures.
