No. Users are the ones forcing the draconian policies of IT shops to change. iPhone, then iPads are being made "exceptions" to established policies because IT shops can't say no to the huge onslaught of demand. People have suffered under corporate IT policies that make desktops/laptops agonizing tools to use and inhibit productivity.
2. This hasn't been going on for hundreds of years; the world hasn't had a global economic environment for hundreds of years. It's been going on for a few decades.
Since the other two points were already countered, I will respond to this point.
To clarify, my statement of "hundreds of years" is that manufacturing has always moved or modified to reach the lowest possible cost. This is what led to the formation of unions in the beginning of the 20th century....
What a ridiculous article to single out Apple when all the manufacturers take advantage of cheap labor. This has been going on for hundreds of years and is really nothing new.
Unless everyone is willing to spend a significant more on almost product (tech or non-tech based) this won't change.
If you think NHS is a pillar example of public healthcare system that works you are hugely mistaken. I am a big believer in socialized medicine,but NHS is not a great one...
He also has access to an amazing amount of healthcare. Not many people can afford full time staff to maintain their lives both personally and professionally. He has people so desperate to work with him that they train for years to understand his unique communication.
Setting it up as a problem in game theory, the tenet "candidate who spends the most money wins the election" makes the outcome a foregone conclusion: elected government officials will be in the pocket of corporations, in all cases.
Another way to see this is that candidate who raised the most money also had the most number of supporters...
Like most hardware manufacturers, they are trying to get out of updating and maintaining software since it's a loss for them. Unlocking lets the whiners who notice or care about updates go play and leave HTC alone to abandon the handsets after ~12 months post release. It's the real challenge Android has versus WebOs, Windows Phone, and iOS. (Yes, I know get a Nexus, but Google abandoned their first phone already too)
I am paid through another 2 years for my Godaddy domain. As I already paid for the registration, if I transfer my domain to another registrar will GoDaddy refund the 2 years I didn't use?

What do you do on your laptop that you are this level of paranoid about law enforcement coming after you to decrypt?

Then use OSx86.
You forgot something, eventually IT shops have to do what their users want...
Oh you're gonna get it with that comment :)
Exactly! No one does this... they go to walmart and choose the cheapest item they can get.

He gives amazing speeches. Unfortunately, he really doesn't understand computers and it's a joke he was made CTO
Re-read what I wrote. I am not talking about reliability or problems with downloads. Sprint is consistently rated the slowest 3g cellular network.

next time, don't be so quick to get your panties in a bunch. I personally don't care what cellular god you pray. They all suck in one way or another.
Have you seen how slow is Sprint's network? Who cares if it's unlimited when your download speed is below 1k/sec!
It's easy. Verizon and AT&T collude on prices. AT&T raises, then Verizon quickly follows...
Wow, people are still falling for the SRWare scam???
And what's wrong with the many adblock extensions available for Chrome??

I don't believe you're correct that NHS pays for his full time help...

This isn't that surprising as I remember how much trouble WebOS had to get GPU acceleration working for developer access and use in gaming etc.

Ok, so it didn't cost me anything. Great. I was willing to move it as I hate Godaddy but I had paid in advance and didn't want to lose that
If Google has abandoned the G1, Apple abandoned the first iPhone first.
G1 isn't a Nexus phone.

I just the transfer request. Namecheap said they will credit the time left for my registration and gave me a year extra for $5.
How does Namecheap know how much time to credit to my account?
Also, I use Google Apps for domains, will this mean my email to the domain will bounce during the transfer to NameCheap?

Call them, give in person, or postal mail on a piece of paper.
