The iPhone came out in January 2007, more than 4 years later Adobes mobile version is only in beta. So, I'm not sure how Apple exactly "removed" anything:/
Nobody was killed and no radiation was released that will affect generations to come.
No way of power generation is 100% safe. You'll never be able to rule out human failure. That leaves only to consider the side effects when ("when", not "if"!) something goes wrong. That's why people don't want nuclear power.

Must be from around 1992. Makes me cry, because we had to wait 8+ years to get those features in an affordable main stream system.
If you want to earn a living in the design business you anly have a limited amount of hours a day to do that. That means you can't afford to work for free, which is essentially what you did if yiu don't win. I know that this is what's happening when big ad agencies "pitch" to a client, but they make it up by adding these hours to the bill for the next client where they win a pitch. On sites driven by cost competitiveness like 99designs this will be difficult.
And then i don't want to work for a client who doesn't have the slightest idea what they are looking for. Try getting hand made shoes by asking different vendors to make a pair from which you will choose one... or...:

With 514 € that's a 34 € markup. That's 6,6%. Nothing to get your pants in a bunch about. The 499 € in France and Italy show clearly that they use psychological pricing, if people pay 480 €, they'll as likely pay 499 €.
And I actually don't know if there's some kind of custom duty, computers are normally free in Europe, but who knows...
*19% german VAT (Mehrwertsteuer) which by law HAS to be included in the price when selling to private customers.
Wouldn't the iPad fall under "sub-12-inch machines"? Wouldn't it then be part of the "45.6 million units in 2011 and 60.3 million in 2013"?
And though I did bet a bottle of polish vodka on the iPad selling 5 million times this year, now that I know the 1st month numbers, I guess it could well be 7,5 million. Looks like it could take a pretty significant percentage in 2011...
But then of course I'm not a prolific analyst and expert.
Yeah, right. Learn them everyday, because you will have to relearn them when Adobe decides to change them. Not mentioning ignoring that shortcuts may already be in use by the OS...
John Markoff in the NY-Times in March 2008: "Apple's multitouch technology began life not as a cellphone, but as a notepad-sized skunkworks project internally dubbed Safari Pad, run by Tim Bucher, then Apple's head of Macintosh hardware. To his credit, Mr. Jobs seized on the technology and morphed it into the iPhone. At Macworld, when I asked Mr. Jobs about the idea of an iPod Touch in a larger "Safari Pad" format, he snapped at me, "I can't talk about unannounced products.""
If you can manage to purchase a german iPhone without signing a contract, you might want to wait for a few more (days|weeks); according to some rumors the price may soon drop to â99. No, you can't get the iPhone from T-Mobile Germany without signing a contract. And this is no rumor, the 99 Euro offer is the 8GB model and available for weeks already...
HTC make plenty of excellent Smartphones. As an HTC-phone owner I'd say: No. Hardwarewise they are at best of medium quality.
Not particularly a fan of Windows mobile, but it does the job well enough to make this a 3 horse race. My twoyear-experience with Windows mobile is what makes me want to get an iPhone. Unfotunately prices and contracts in Germany suck, so it will be a grey US-import for me with jailbreaking. I'm just waiting for the new model...

After seeing this
Nobody was killed and no radiation was released that will affect generations to come.
What about this
"At least eight people have been killed and 60 others are missing" and no radiation was released that will affect generations to come.
or this?

He installed something like 5000 fonts... brought the system to its knees.
What version of Mac OS X? I can't see any limit for number of fonts on my machine, at least since Leopard.
graphic designers do digital work in 300 dpi for print work and 72 dpi for online work.
I hope they don't, as it doesn't make sense at all:

Situation in Estonia:
MacBook White 2.26GHz/2GB/ 250GB/GeForce 9400M/SD — 15 690 kroons (VAT included, of course), appr 1 003 euros, i.e. 1 278 dollars.
999$ (US-Price excluding taxes) X 1,2 (20% Estonian VAT) = 1198 $
1198 X 12 (exchange rate) = 14385 EEK
With the New York sales tax (8,25% according to Google), the same object would cost 999 + 8,25% in NY, which amounts to about 1 081 dollars.
I still see an almost 200 dollar difference from the customer's point of view. It's an almost 20% markup.
No, it's a 9% markup. You can't blame Apple for different sales taxes.
those in Europe tend to cost a lot more.
Not really:
499$ = 391€
391 X 1,19* = 465€
+15€** = 480€
With 514 € that's a 34 € markup. That's 6,6%. Nothing to get your pants in a bunch about. The 499 € in France and Italy show clearly that they use psychological pricing, if people pay 480 €, they'll as likely pay 499 €.
