I think they mean this as more a QRcode type replacement, where people use them for scanning stuff on business cards or billboards, etc., not UPCs on packaging.
Here's a good question: If Palm were so worried about it.. why use iTunes at all? Just use Windows Media Player or whatever you already use, since if you're a Mac fan you probably have an iPhone/iPod already (assumption). The answer? Most people are drones to popular culture and own iPods, and guess what? That means they use iTunes. Suggesting other iPod-capable software to use for the Pre is redundant.
That's not entirely true, but you have to jailbreak it and then get filesystem access through either iTunes's communication protocol (not Mass Storage like before) or scp, which is usually just too much a pain as-is.
During my driver's training, our driving instructor had us talking to each other the entire time, and had the radio on too. If you train without distractions, then add them later, it becomes even more problematic.
Except I was referring to text messaging. Why would I be using text prediction to dial someone's number? With mine I just use the scroll wheel till it hits the name I want in the dialer.
It's a slider, touchscreen on the front with an onscreen keypad. There's plenty of buttons inside! QWERTY keyboards need two hands, which works even less well when driving.

Mods are troll mod trolling (?) all the parent posts.

But iTunes is still $0.99 while (some?) songs on Amazon are $0.89.
Sounds good to me. At least I can't get hit by some sort of exploit just from running lynx in order to get the newest version of Firefox!
And where do you expect the dumb end users to figure out where to get one of those things?
What do you mean? Rich megalomaniacs are always exempt from the law!
I would hope they would anyway. Firefox always checks, and I assume Opera, Chrome, etc. do too. Probably IE is the only one that doesn't..
Well, if you include all the specific version numbers..
Why waste your time removing it if you can just not use it?

How did AOL lose the Instant Messaging wars? Everyone I know (in the US) still uses AIM primarily.

While you're entirely right, the irony is he's asking you to point out a country, and they could surely point out the actual United States on a map.

Oh? So when will we be seeing World of Warcraft, or.. well, any other MMO on consoles? Or any other good RTSes?

You want a new buzzword for the same thing? How about, stop using buzzwords entirely and call it by it's technical name? (hosted applications, etc.)
