Yeah. A lot of people on/. base their iPhone commentary on version 1 of the software on the original iPhone and then compare that to Android 2.1 or upcoming features in 3.0 it is really pretty funny and quite sad.

Thanks for playing. Now put down your Linux for Dummies book and go back to sleep.
Other than in the Game rock band (mentioned by someone else), yes it is. They were also #3 selling band in the US last year. It is significant, but perhaps not a day we will never forget.
This is a small announcement that has had no effect on the Apple stock, other than perhaps supporting it some in a market that is down 1.5% so far today..
Steve Jobs asked for DRM free music from the begininning. I suppose you can rewrite history if it makes it align better with your flawed world view, but it does not make your re-write true.
Perhaps the first insightful post ever modded as such, grats!
Hmm what can I say to make people pay attention to me.. Hmm.Oh I know I will say it is Apple and then provide a single substantive reason as to why it is Apple.
They are not saying you should warn for every link. Only that you should warn if you are going to do some that um requires a warning...Just opening the itms to display an app is not a dangerous activity, it would be beyond annoying to prompt for that.
I don't get how Apple's position in this is defensible. The whole iOS platform is sold as a locked down walled garden that, and I quote, "just works." This specific incident demonstrates two things to us:
1.) The application approval process doesn't actually protect us as users. We've all known this for a while, and by itself it actually isn't that big a deal.
2.) Apple's bottom line is the only thing the walled garden is protecting. If an application gets through the approval process but turns out to actually have a security flaw, that shouldn't be a big deal in a controlled market environment because you can either pull the application or change the environment to mitigate the issue. That obviously is not what is happening.
So yes, for those of you who are asking, we are actually upset that the iOS platform is both too closed and too permissive. We're complaining because it is closed in all the ways that hurt the consumer and yet isn't closed in any of the ways we were told it would help us. It is the worst of both worlds.
You are apparently upset about nothing at all. What are you suggesting Apple should do? Pull the Skype app? Maybe, but it is not a big security hole, it does not happen in the background. You seem to be upset about a problem that does not exist. It is almost like you were looking for a reason to rail against apple. Oh that is what you were doing.
Is 2-7 times thicker depending where you measure. (1.5" -.8" for Lenovo,.68" to.11" for MBA).59lbs is quite a bit of weight in this class.
The Lenovo machine has Intel graphics.
They do not even offer an SSD in their standard builds...It would cost you 1259 to build a machine with an i3, 2GB RAM, intel graphics and 128GB SSD. So there is no price advantage.
If it works like every other Lenovo laptop I have seen (and I have witnessed this happen to 3 and seen the aftermath on 6 or 7 more) picking it up by one of the front corners will snap the plastic.
Your are just being comical now. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. The things you say are so absurd it is friggin hilarious. Thanks for the entertainment. It is fun to watch ignorant people make very bold assertions based on clearly limited experience.
If you honestly believe windows is more secure then, I don't know what to tell you.
It's been accepted now by security experts (not so-called geeks spouting the same FUD since 1999) for a good year or two now. Go look it up. Also, there are a lot of new security technologies in place that OSX doesn't have.
Just because you keep saying it does not make it true. You have made the same assertion four times now without a single link. You mentioned Secunia who would not even make a statement like that. Link someone, anyone that is a mildly credible security expert.
I am certain you are the kind of person Secunia wishes would stop visting their site. You clearly do not understand what you are reading. Please send me a link where Secunia says anything like OSX is more vulnerable than windows (Note they do not actually make judgement statements like that and their site clearly states that you should not compare number of vulnerabilities on a platform for anything, because it is a meaningless comparison).
So provide a link, or stfu and stop misrepresenting what other people are saying to try and make your own confused point.

But your oven is locked down to its own software, which is wtf we are talking about...
You live in an interesting world that is clearly different from the one the rest of us occupy. Stay safe.
Seems to me greenp0ison is quite a bit easier to use then that...
And 98% of the paid mobile application market. (And of course your numbers are just lies...)

The Beatles sold the 3rd most albmums in the US last year. Because of this they will likely be #1 this year. You are obviously uninformed....
Can't believe this was modded flamebait. So much goodness in just two lines.
Seriously.. You know every member of the Stones would disagree with you..

You can't, and if you do, it will cost $1500 :)
Well had you RTFA, you would know you had the proper sentiment, but the wrong reason. He simply wants to sell a book.
It is funny because Adobe does not seem to be on Wu's radar, and they probably should be the real number one.

Just because the free has lower production values does not mean people don't want.
I hope your post was just ineffective sarcasm, but I suspect it is just deranged.
Or patching WoW... It is fun when the clueless come out of the closet..

Everything you made is just made up. Seriously you provided no evidence (because you lied so evidence would be difficult to provide).
You live in a world where Picasa is a good program so there is no point in even trying to have a discussion..
