i am doubtful of how well the 3G phone will sell. The iphone now is already not cheap. and most of the people who are willing to pay the price and actually want one have already bought one. And most are also binded in a 2 year contract so it's not like they can just ditch the phone and get a new one when the 3G comes out. The remainder population that havn't bought the iphone yet is comprised of ppl who don't care for the iphone.. and perhaps a small portion of ppl who actually waited out for the 3G..
Why does MS and Apple put huge amounts of money into developing browsers when Firefox exists? IE and Safari generate zero revenue for the company since they give the software away, so it can't look too good on the balance sheet. For the past 2 years, Firefox/Camino has become really unstable on my mac. it started crashing so frequently that it was no longer usable cuz i'd get so annoyed. At work I am forced to use a windows and I also have the same problems with Firefox although not as frequently as on my mac. I'm not sure if other people have experienced the same problems but that could be a pretty good reason as to why IE and Safari exists...
"I know Apple is worshiped here..."
I assume that this is the funny part that got you modded up. From reading regular comments right here on Slashdot I have discovered that because I am a Mac user:
1. I am gay.
2. I have toy computer.
3. I only bought a Mac because I am under the influence of marketing forces.
4. I'm too stupid to be able to use anything else.
5. I am a shrill fanboy. Or fanbois. Whatever. it's ok... those points are clearly made up by ignorant people.

haha it's quite humourous.. it's as if apple's purposely trying to infect the window users and make them more vulnerable.. :D :D
