Flash runs well on Windows. I'm just going to assume that many of the people here don't use Macs so don't really understand how poorly flash runs on OS X.
This is a typical flash game on facebook (a typical use-case for an iPhone/iPad user if flash was available) . That's 70% of CPU for a single flash instance.
Software companies generally follow the installed base. When their internal marketing tells them that existing linux users won't shell out for their software, what makes you think they're going to sink development money into the hope that if they build a linux version, mac customers are going to get a linux machine? Adobe is a public corporation, and they have to answer to their shareholders. How are they going to explain that they're dropping 40% of their revenue because they're pissed at Apple?
I think the far more likely explanation is that these high-profile individual with public email (which also serves as their appleID) had people attempt to hack into their accounts. Enough failed passwords, and all accounts get locked out.
Camp Delta and Camp 7 were both on the navy base. Do you think the cuban government would allow the US to put a detention camp on their land if it wasn't on the navy base?
And you're confusing net worth with income. My net worth is significantly less than it was a year ago, but my income hasn't changed.
However, the fact is that many people from Maryland do flee to Deleware or Virginia to pay lower income taxes or property taxes.
For media center storage, the Drobo is plenty fast to allow a dozen different computers to stream hd hd content. Using it to edit HD or as a scratch disk, i wouldn't recommend it - but for watching shows and movies, it's a no brainer.
Apple can't open it's own record label. From Wikipedia:
"In 1978, Apple Corps, the Beatles-founded holding company and owner of their record label, Apple Records, filed a lawsuit against Apple Computer for trademark infringement. The suit was settled in 1981 with an undisclosed amount being paid to Apple Corps. This amount had been estimated to be US$50â"US$200 million, but was later revealed to be US$80,000.[1] As a condition of the settlement, Apple Computer agreed not to enter the music business, and Apple Corps agreed not to enter the computer business."

They got into hot water with Apple Records when iTunes got big. An actual recording label would blatantly go against the agreement.
This agreement is no longer in effect. Apple Corp has signed over all Trademark for Apple to Apple Computer, Inc (now Apple Inc) in 2007. In return, Apple Corp has a perpetual license to use the Apple name for their label. However Apple Inc. can now do whatever they want with regards to the music business.
You mean the people quoting the idiot financial analyst who is trying to manipulate the stock? The same financial analyst that also claimed the first iPhone would have to be recalled because the touchscreen was defective? It's interesting that every article claiming a hardware problem goes back to the same source.

I think many people missed the point of the California problem. It wasn't limited to lowering everyone's earnings to minimum wage. The main problem was that after the budget was approved, everyone's wages needed to be adjusted again AND those people need to have back wages paid for the period that they we being paid less. That's a complex problem that most programs, even modern ones, probably are not designed to consider.
Most antiaircraft missiles are designed to home in on a heat signature or radar signature, and will detonate on a proximity fuse. They're not designed to penetrate anything. Antiaircraft guns, on the other hand...
I got it right. It's just a little confusing. ASCAP and BMI collect performance royalties, for performing the songs on the air, and use the money to pay the copyright holders.
Soundexchange wants to collect copyright royalties and pay the record companies.
Terrestrial stations have always paid performance royalties to ASCAP and BMI.
You're confusing performance royalties with copyright royalties.
All radio stations, Canadian and US, pay performance royalties - about 1.7% of revenue. College stations typically pay a flat fee of $450/year.
RIAA wants stations to pay, in addition to performance royalties, copyright royalties of about 7.5% of revenue - with low income stations paying $5000/year.

I second the drobopro solution. Add a droboshare for network access

This is one of many, but probably the main reason there's no flash on the iPhone.

Because the Linux consumer doesn't like to shell out $500-1000 for software when they can use GIMP
I'm pretty sure if Apple doubled the width and weight of the iPad to match, it could get, oh, 20 hours you think?

$1 million in pre-IPO stock, which was worth $17.6 at IPO.
Xerox was paid $17.6M in Apple stock for the visits. Just saying...

Except that TOS was shot on film, so your point is moot
The XBox division made around $500 million profit in 2008.
vs. $1.6B loss in 2006 and $800M loss in 2007 - so they're still in the red...
Or you can select the "update" you don't want, and go to Tools -> 'Ignore selected updates' and never see it again.

H3DII-50 has had 50 megapixel backends for quite some time..?
Is it unprecedented because it's now available at a cheaper price or something?
The H3DII uses kodak's 50 megapixel sensor, and was announced this month.
ORLY? Didn't he just win an election?
If by win, you mean killing supporters of his opponent...
You're aware that coal mining in China kills more people on a yearly basis than the number of people who have died in Chernobyl, right?
