They know about it because the question was asked. It sounds like something you should not like , so they said they didn't. A fairly obvious case of observer influence. You have to know for certain the subject of a poll independently knows what something is or any question you ask about it is totally invalid.
I am not sure you would find a single iPad buyer who felt they were sticking it to the man. Most of them were buying a consumer electronic device they felt would be useful and after using it for a month or two, they found that it was useful. This annoys the crap out of you because you had some strange unnatural urge to see it fail, so you denigrate all those people. Millions of people have purchased iPads and our happy with them. If you chose to believe it is because they are not as smart as you, they have medications that will help with your delusions.
Android is not a thing that adds 160,000 users a day. It is an operating system with a wide variety of features. There is not any line of Android handsets that comes anywhere near the market share of the iPhone.
Apple might be concerned about the market place confusion caused by having to sell two different models of phone. I am not sure how big an issue this really is, but it would be something Apple would consider.
Part of the reason Apple is as profitable as they are is by keeping the product choices limited. They are far and away the most profitable handset manufacturer in the world. Even companies with 10x their volume do not come close to the total profit.
Actually the Newton was not doing bad, especially for something that radically different. It was gaining some traction when Steve killed it because he wanted Apple to focus on a much smaller set of products.
If your USB2 link were running at 70% of rated capacity (~280mb/s) it would take just shy of 24hours of continuous data to fill it. USB2 is more than sufficient for most home backup applications, media storage, etc...
Only in the event of a migration would you try to move it all at once. I would rather see an eSata or even FW800 interface. But, it is still a useful device and the price is right.
As the person you responded to already mentioned, it would be good for time machine backups. With time machine backups:
1. Organization is not an issue 2. Speed is a very, very, very negligible issue 3. Any data needing encryption should be encrypted at the source, again not an issue 4. Larger capacity means increased granularity and the ability to backup more machines 5. Why would I spend twice as much money for half the capacity and encryption I don't need?
The same could be said for any windows (or any other) backup solution. There are countless situations where speed and security are less important than Raw capacity. I have more than 2 terabytes of movies, tv shows and music on disk. (4x1 TB Raid 5). I would certainly consider 3TB drives (if they actually exist) in the future long before SSD, or a smaller, more expensive drive with encryption..
There are literally thousands of use cases where a 3TB drive is a far superior choice to 200gig SSD. If they were in the same universe from a cost perspective it might make some sense to use SSD. While not this consumer model disk, businesses still rely far more on large capacity HDDs than SSDs. The biggest use of SSD in business today is probably caching.
Just because something is newer and even faster does not make it the best choice.
I know 8 or 9 people with an iPhone 4 and only one of them says they can make it happen. I have seen two other people try without success. Even wetting their hands did nothing.
A lot of ways. Signal processing, power levels,etc. We don't actually know what is causing the problems, so everything anyone says is pure speculation.
Weird I can think of literally hundreds of ways it could be done through software. I am not sure if any of them are relevant since we are all just guessing as to the actual cause of the problem....

That suit will never make it to discovery, so don't hold your breath.
A lot of them are part of a mass hysteria instead of a conspiracy. Have you really watched the videos?
Did your brain shut down after the first line of his comment?
Indeed they love their new owners. The Foxconn plant was scary! Bodies flying everywhere.
I believe that new GPS accuracy is in the iPhone 4 as well. Would be interesting to see how they compare.

Good sarcasm is timely, relevant, and factual. Yours meets none of those criteria. Oh and usually (but not always funny).
How many of those could even run the same OS. The 160k figure is so unbelievably meaningless and deceptive.

Just talked for 65 minutes on an iPhone 4 with my finger bridging the antenna gap the entire time.. So?
Lol, conspiracy much? AT&T was first because they are the only US carrier with Smartphones people actually use data on and they were getting buried.
There are some 50 models of blackberry. Apple makes quite a bit more profit than RIM..
Doing pretty well too.. Thanks for making his point ;)
Where they really "pissed off" about those things? I hope they enjoy swapping out there battery every few hours :)

I officially nominate you for comment of the story.
Quite funny that every single one of his reasons was blatantly false.
