This is typical of slash-dotters knee-jerk reaction, without RTFA or any critical thinking, as long as they falls into these topics: China, copyright, government control, censorship, space, Adobe, Apple...etc. You can code a bot to comment on Slashdot for those topics.
...have a pretty bad connotation. People defined 'meeting' as any occasion that involves more than 1 person. Some of these so-called 'meetings' are actually the 'tasks' themselves, because in carrying out certain task or deliverables, it requires more than 1 person (i.e. a meeting???). For some people, 'meeting' is part of the major job function. E.g. Business analysts -> they're supposed to work users to gather requirements (meeting?), facilitates between stakeholders and developers (meetings?), work with PM (more meetings???), and time in typing up the stuff (non-meeting), and reviewing those materials (meetings again!?)...etc. One cannot claim that these people just wasted time on 'meetings' and not actually work.
They actually should offer full refund to the console regardless of how old they are. It's not the same but what if car manufacturer disabled a 6th gear from a sports car?

I'm not an Apple user myself other than my wife uses a iPhone. If your problem has to do with iPhone/iTouch/iPad, well, they are never meant to be a general purpose computer. Your f-u comment is way overboard. It's like HTPC owners f-u the DVR/Tivo owners. Thumbs down to the modders.

It's never intended to be a 'computer', Apple never refers it to have any relation with computer, and this is a point that a lot of slashdotters do not get.

"Slashdot users are so ridiculously out of touch with nontechnical people it's amazing." - I can't agree more with you. Why is multi-tasking keep coming up as an issue at all? It's is a non-issue - just look at iphone/itouch sales numbers!! The customer's use case does not involve multi-tasking. I mean, if those users want it, they can get Windows Mobile instead. Multi-tasking is awesome, right?:)
The proof is in the pudding with iphone/itouch - it doesn't matter to those users with the 'use case'. You're not one of those who wanna surf+chat -> well, have you seen how the text-addicts use 'chat' on a mobile device? They are usually in some sort of establishment or occasion (restaurant, club, meeting...etc.) - they fire off text to a friend and they go back to what they were doing before: eating, dancing/drinking, meeting, not another application (web surf). If they need to surf+chat -> they're at home with a computer.
May be because it's an American-centric story on a single heroic character kick the thousands of hero just by himself? I'm not a star_xxxx fanboy at all and I don't know if this movie or star war 1 was worse...
I can concur with your comment. When people here complains about why the government here move so slowly, have so much red tap and papers and form and procedures, I tell them this is part of the price we have to pay for our democracy. We need to keep track of every single correspondence and paper trail so that when it came under question, government can cover that you-know-what. They probably don't need that in China. Of course there are a lot of cons about that.
BTW Hong Kong laws are based on English Common Law (yes, some of their lawyers/judges still wear that wig thing!). And the people thinking about democracy and government is very different from the mainland folks, though very divided after the hand-over.
This is generally what I hear from Chinese friends here in North America who have close ties to mainland. Some care about the censorship but some other are agnostic about it.
This is exactly my point - I don't think it's possible (my comment never meant to be funny, but I find the modders amusing). Like it or not, as western society, we are part of the 'problem' (or you can call it 'ecosystem').
Softwood lumber, wheat, beef....etc. The US wants our oil and water, but don't want other stuff. If China is such an evil empire, stop trading buying stuff from them. I have heard enough US-centric whining about China here. And from the comments I read here about China, they're no different from the viewers of Fox news.
I'll be a bit surprised if the Opera guys didn't communicate with Apple about their plan. I can't imagine they just code away the whole way and now just hold their breath and cross their fingers...

That may put Apple out of computer business, not appliance business (iWhatever hardware).

Ditto - try any Windows Mobile devices! They have all the features, multi-task and promises the world but it's absolutely sluggish.

Just wondering: what if this happens in China?
Are you using the wayback machine?
Seriously, what's all about this site??? Look similar, same icons....etc.? Is there a Chinese CowboyLi and CmdrRicewrap?
That's exactly what I'm thinking - a lot of the +5 here are really -1 on that site then.

In Canada we may have stable populations, but mind you the government people who takes care of financial and tax isn't very keen on that.
You've gotta be kidding. A mafia head lives (or connects in any way) in his real billing address lol??
