I wrote an app called Sort, which is a simple sorting "game" with various topics (sort the letters of various alphabets, sort states alphabetically, sort President years, etc).
We had one topic called "Madoff Victims" where you were to sort the 10 highest losers of money due to Bernie Madoff's schemes, in order of loss.
I don't remember the exact wording, but Apple rejected our app because they didn't like us implying bad things about him, even though exploits are well known. We removed that topic and the app was accepted.
Either that or they just completely skip over the comment because your AC.
Funny, I completely skip over comments that use 'your' where 'you're' should have been used. You may have had something insightful to say, but you lost me at that point.
I don't know what you're going to Germany for but I'd rather be sitting in beer gardens than poking around on the Internet. When I travel in Europe (for pleasure, anyway) I leave the net at home.
It is part of the reason I moved from PC to PS3 gaming.
How are those RTS and FPS games working out for you? Figured out how to AIM yet?
Sure, there are some nice games on the PS3 but the really good ones fall down into one or two controller-friendly categories. I'd switch in a second if there was a reasonable equivalent of mouse+keyboard. For now it's Rock Band and Little Big Planet.
Perhaps if Tivo eliminated the monthly fee, then they'd takeoff like iPod, but most people simply don't see the need to throw-away money like that. They have to budget their spending, which means they choose options without the fees (like I did).
Yet people have no problems spending $80+/month so they can text and check sports scores on their phones, when 15 years ago nobody ever wanted, let alone needed to do those things.
I always thought the monthly Tivo fee was a bargain. It SAVED me tons of time, automatically recording my favorite shows, even if the time slot changed. Knowing that I could go away for a few days, come home, turn on the TV, and have my shows were there waiting for me is worth a lot more to me than being able to stay connected 24/7.
I put non-drm books on my Kindle all the time. There is a free program called Calibre which can convert between formats and install the files on the Kindle automatically.

yes, I stood in line for an iPad
Why did you stand in line? Mine arrived via FEDEX at 10am.
Yes.
Now that's a lot of seriously unhealthy-looking people.
I'll be wearing my full-body Lager-suit. Bring it on!
They are easier on the eyes than Kindles,
Holy shiny screen, Batman! Did you see that video? Try reading a book on that thing outside, or even under the lights of a trade-show.

have a starbucks double half-calf-frappa-moccha-chino
Is that the one made with calf's milk or veal?
Exactly. You're self-employed, as am I. Why not designate all 5 weeks to vacation? If I'm going to be working, I can do it more cheaply at home.

the argument that adding more commenters to a thread just makes the posts dumber and dumber.
That's a MYTH??
My tongue?

You really have a love-hate relationship with your iPhone!
Is it the love of the shiny status symbol combined with the hate of your AT&T "service", or vice-versa?

Don't be fooled by the low entry fee.
What makes you think Apple won't block access to sites like that?
No, this is Microsoft we're talking about, not Apple.
Can we assume a free coffee travel mug is included then?

Ah, well the MBP solution is not nearly as cool as I thought it was then.
I believe the latest model MacBook Pros have been doing this for at least a year.
Got to hand it to them - it looks more and more like Photoshop with each release!
Or just use an nvidia card from the start. Then you get all the features.
You weren't REALLY going to screw around with the source code anyway, right?
Ann Coulter HAS a vagina? Are you sure?
