There are products available that make all of your gripes about the iPhone go away. See MaaS 360 MDM.
Not only can you push software to devices, you can perform remote wipes (even selective remote wipes) and update policies. I'm sad to say it, but most of the "BES is the only option" arguments that I see from people are purely human change resistance at its finest. Better devices exist - why not use them?
You can't just edit the.ini file...what if someone does beat your "realistic" time? You _must_ make the file read only to protect your status for future generations to marvel over.
That's an interesting question...and it really depends on the price elasticity of supply and the price elasticity of demand for those products.
Elasticity is a very interesting phenomenon in economics. (More info here.) Basically, any change in price can have any one of three outcomes (increase, decrease, or remain the same) for the total revenue of a company, depending on the elasticities of supply and demand. For instance, if the price elasticity of demand for a product is elastic (rather than inelastic or unit elastic), a decrease in price will increase total revenue.
My guess (without knowing the elasticy coefficients for the products and any other factors involved) is that a moderate decrease in price would cause the total revenue for the product to remain the same, as any increase in sales would be offset by people who would pirate the software at any price.
The U.N. isn't just inefficient, it is a paper tiger. You said it yourself: Too many people have veto power. This makes it impossible to get anything done, much less something good or bad. Think of all of the good things that U.S. policy makers have been able to do over the years, simply because someone could make a decision and implement a plan.
The U.N. just can't do that.
I can't wait to see how ATI's new dual card solution (which they call MVP) stacks up against Nvidia's. Because the link to more info is jacked up, here is a link to a Gizmodo entry with links to more information.

This whole thing is a bit of a damp squid.
Not if you put it up on a pedal stool...

Offended? No. Saddened? Yes. Check out this (urbandictionary.com) for more information about this strange phenomenon.
Yes, Opera opens a back ground tab with middle click as well. Also, both Firefox and Opera allow you to close a tab with a single middle click.
...will probably be a nightmare. Imagine having to stand in line (think "technical DMV") to have the password changed on your email account...
