Hate to kill your Apple dream but Microsoft will do mainstream IPTV with the xbox360 way sooner, due to the sheer fact that it is also a gaming system, doesn't cost a million dollars, and is easily available to anyone that wants one.
It always amazes me how creative mac users can be when saying that everything originated from/ looks like a mac. If Microsoft designed refrigerators, you would probably come up with some way to say its design was copied from the ipod simply because they share similar shapes. I guess it just comes with the way a stereotypical mac user acts; it makes them feel special to think that they were the "first" and are "unique" because they are using OSX, when in reality many things in OSX originated somewhere else, and they just bought into apple's marketing. Previously, the source of the problem was the need to justify their purchase by praising apple as much as possible, but now as prices of mac's have come down this isn't as much of an issue.
For the record, I don't care what OS people use. I feel they should use whatever they are most productive with, whatever that may be. Because I realize this, you don't see me praising a certain OS and bashing other OS's in post's on/. like most of the people in this thread.
"Since Microsoft has no qualms blantantly copying others' features, I don't understand why they continue to settle for a second rate implementations."
As much as you may hate it, their implementation represents what the majority of the population finds most usable, and here you go again with your mac superiority complex implying that macs were the first/best at everything. This is the only way you know how to justify using OSX, as other people would look at you funny if you were using something other then windows because it "does the same things, but cost more $$$".

The article is trying to rip on US cellphone companies for no reason. I have verizon and yes it sucks that they cripple all their phones... However, that phone IS available here, and there are many other simple phones out there as well... you get what you pay for.
from the end...
"The color model, the C155, is available in the United States, sold by the prepaid wireless company TracFone online and through retail outlets such as Wal-Mart. For $29.98, you get the phone and the right to buy pay-as-you-go phone services. Telefonica MoviStar sells the C116 phone in Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries."
AOL, offered a huge discount when they were first starting and their servers couldn't handle all the people...
