    Stop buying the cheap plastic shit then. You can get cheap stuff, and you can still get good stuff.

    You must laugh a lot.

    They have a rule. They are following it. The rule applies for a c compiler, perl compiler, or c64 basic compiler.

    You do understand the concept of rules don't you?

    Look, the n900 is a great phone, so was the n810, n800, n97, n95.

    If you think they are going to do anything like the iPhone in sales, you are an idiot. Having an amazing phone isn't enough.

    What do you people not understand, you still think it is a faster processor, or higher megapixel camera that sells phones. You are just complete morons.

    You know you can give away free applications, where Apple makes $0, but provides all the same tools, hosting, marketing.

    You can jailbreak an iPhone, and they become exactly that you want. If you want to open a nintendo, you still need one of those star shaped screw drivers.

    Yeah, I know. Much better to just pump coal into the atmosphere, considering Australia gets 86% of its power from coal, and is the worlds largest exporter of coal.

    So the options are keep using coal, use alternative energy (and Nuclear is one of the safest), or switch off your computer?

    Or keep doing what you are doing, talk shit, and ignore the problems we have today.

    That is great, exactly the sort of experience that google is going for as well, but Apple will never allow.

    Because the USA is fucking huge, how about that? Why do people keep making this mistake, comparing there little shitty country to the USA. Even Australia, which is the same size as mainland USA can't be compared, because 90% of the people in Australia live in a small area.

    Seriously, why don't you compare the maneuverability of a rowboat to the qe2? Or the fact you can carry your bike up the stairs, so your neighbor should carry his car up the stairs?

    Most people don't want one, do they fucker? I know you might, but I certainly don't. And most of the people with iPhone are quite happy. In fact, most of the people who own Mobile phones don't have a keyboard, so don't talk shit.

    Most people don't do that much typing to warrant a keyboard.

    Don't let this guy fool you, I am one of his so called friends. We only come round because his little sister is so easy. And the free booze. As soon as that runs out, we leave him there to clean up the mess.

    Do you know how many devices that are out there that use the ipod connector? Billions. You can't just change that. They should have made the right decision in the first place, but it wasn't so obvious in those days, everyone was making there own connector.

    And maybe a mini-usb or micro-usb doesn't provide enough support to actually hold the device upright.

    Yeah, do you really think that Steve or anyone important at Microsoft would have allowed this? Not if there were chairs available to be thrown, that is for sure.

    Every time Microsoft does something reasonable, you find out that they had a dodgy ulterior motive for it, and they do something twice as shitty next time.

  16. Re:Indeed on GMail Experiences Serious Outage · · Score: 1

    Our email sucks, our admins are a joke. We run exchange, but for the first few months we would have to reset all the setting to get it to work, everytime we switched off the computer. We stopped doing it very often.

    Now, we only have to enter our login details everytime, since for some reason, clicking that little box to remember my details on outlook doesn't actually do anything. Fuck you microsoft and your shitty software.

    Also, I enjoy the fact that it takes a minute to search through 1000 emails, but gmail, which if on the web, can search through >10,000 instantly.

    What moisture sensors are you talking about? The only sensors it has are these little paper stickers, that change color when wet, that you will find in almost all electronic devices these days. Do you open up for phone and check these regularly?

  18. Re:Track record on Apple Blames 'External Forces' For Exploding iPhones · · Score: 1

    Yes, I agree, but they didn't issue a recall straight away. It takes time. They might issue a recall for this problem, in a few weeks. Probably not, this seems like a bunch of unrelated cases.

  19. Re:external forces + high numbers = problem on Apple Blames 'External Forces' For Exploding iPhones · · Score: 1

    It does have a ridiculously large screen, and the only phone so far to sell in such numbers with that large screen. Also the fact that it is quite strange that this only seems to be happening in France.

    Of course, if there is a problem, all companies, but especially Apple, will try to put of admitting the fact until the last minute.

  20. Re:Ya know... on Apple Blames 'External Forces' For Exploding iPhones · · Score: 1

    The way people talk about this stuff really worries me. You realise that Apple is a huge company, and it is run by ordinary people. You know that not all the people who work there know what is going on? You know that the people you were talking to may not have known about this problem. Also, over time they develop a distrust of users, after getting scammed all the time.

    You could send it in to the company, and would send out a replacement. It is quite uncommon for them NOT to do this.

    Why would you just focus on one part of green energy, nuclear energy? Why ignore the rest, unless you have some sort of agenda.

    What has stopped nuclear power, is the fact that nobody wants to live near a nuclear power station. It is scary stuff, very safe sure, but scary.

    Do you think they care about your respect? Do you think they care whether you take them seriously or not? How does this even enter the conversation.

    As long as they get there way, they do not care about you, or what you think. Why would you even say that? How does that enter the conversation?

    If Windows is so fragile that removing one application required a large amount of tests, then it is not ready for deployment.
