This was included in my copy of Wall-E, but I had to buy the Special Edition 2 Disk set for it to be included. I don't believe it was included in the regular, 1 Disk version.
Hmmm, if only there was a way to send a short message to someone's phone. Doesn't have to be fancy, just text would work fine. Then I could ask them what network they're on, and fix my MMS gateway address. Oh well, I guess I'll keep dreaming.
That's why for profit research into this type of thing is so bad. They're not looking for cures, they just want treatments that you'll be put on for years at a time.
The difference between spending large sums of money on a phone and spending large sums of money for a contract is that the contract is spread out over a period of time, whereas the phone is all up front.
If I have the choice of two devices with similar functionality, but for one I have to read a manual with an index to figure out how to use it, or the other where I can just pick it up and see exactly how to use it, guess which one I'm going with.
Yes, there were other mp3 players before the iPod. But arguably Apple was the first to do it right. As in, make something that people actually wanted to use, and was easy to use.
The difference is in what you mean when you say "channel." Sure, to send you a channel down the coax line, it costs very little. However, to make the content that said channel carries has a significant cost.
So do they plan on supporting IE6 forever? If they upgrade the web-apps to be standards compliant, then they really only have to upgrade once, and from there on it should be just a little bit of tweaking for the newer generations of browsers, if anything.
Expecting to run a computer for 10 years isn't crazy. Expecting to run a consumer-grade OS for 10 years is, even when you just consider security patches. Either suck it up and buy a copy of Panther or Tiger (~$40 on eBay) if you don't want to shell out the ~$100 for Leopard, or look into putting Linux on that machine.
While a ballot initiative would be the better way to end Prop 8, where a majority of the voters would vote against bigotry, there is a great deal of precedent for civil rights issues being handled in the courts instead, where the emotions of the people should be cast aside in favor of what the law states.
As long as the DLC is done correctly, I don't think it screws legitimate users at all. As long as you don't need the DLC to enjoy the game, or they charge to fix the game, then the only real compelling reason to get the DLC is if you really want it.
Part of the problem with your ideal legal system is that the laws themselves are usually not written in such a way that this can happen. Many laws on the books are too broad, and specific cases come up where the proper application of the law is not known.
Usually when people say "Don't Buy It," they imply a boycott of some sort. Such a boycott tends to lose a lot of teeth and legitimacy if people aren't buying AND d/l cracked, pirated copies.
I specifically said "their" content, as in, Valve's content. I know content from other studios is available on Steam, and I specifically said I don't know how that would work out. RTFC.
I meant to add to my post: A lot of the arguments saying "What about when Steam goes under?" seem a lot like the arguments about "What about if/when Google becomes Evil?" If the possibility of that happening is a big deal for you, then don't use the service.
The only way to avoid the things you've stated is to become a hermit in a cave who communicates with others via carrier pigeon and keeps all his money in his mattress. Unfortunately in today's society, you have to have some level of trust in the companies you deal with. Steam has never given me a reason not to trust them. I realize that there are people who have been burned by Steam and now choose to avoid it, but not me. I trust that Valve will be around for a long time, because they make quality games that are fun to play, and seem more focused on doing that then trying to shovel as many titles out the door as possible. Because of that, I believe that Steam will be kept around until long after my gf/wife forces me to stop playing video game.
When the official site shows clear instructions on how to do something, its easier to point a user to that site rather than list the instructions again. Now should that user run into problems while following the instructions, they should come back with the problem they're running into

But I only have to do it once every few years or so. After which I save the data to the contact, and the phone takes care of the rest.

If we could get a phone with the features of some of the cutting edge Japanese/Korean phones, but with an iPhone interface, I would be all over it.

You don't think Apple had a hand in creating that image?

This is America. Just because you make a product that people don't actually want or need is no reason why you shouldn't have unfettered success.
I don't believe I've seen a claim that its HD. The button on the side says it toggles between 320p and 480p

Because the old white men with wigs still run TV.
So if they only need to access the intRAnet, why do they even have access to the outside intERnet?

Last I heard, you could not implement micro transactions in a Free App. If an app is free, then it will stay free.
