So the answer, in your mind, is to take the poor example of another country in order to justify the same behavior in your own? ... the lure of oppression can sometimes be a siren song that lures the weak to its attractive melody.
You got owned, citizenzen, and there's no rhetorical question, or ad hominem attack, or sidestep you can take to get out from under it.
This all started when you huffed the following challenge:
:rolleyes: Show me the laws that force a dress code on foreign visitors.
Mac'nCheese accepted your challenge:
You mean when female troops from other countries are "encouraged" to cover up while serving in Muslim countries?
You then chose to ratchet up The Needless Condescension Meter vis-a-vis a red herring debate on the difference between the terms "encourage" and "outlaw":
Sorry that subtle difference is lost on you. Maybe a definition might help ...Maybe it's just me ... and the dictionary ... but those two words don't seem to mean the same thing at all. :rolleyes:
Mac'nCheese then called you on asserting he had assimilated "encourage" and "outlaw." So, you again ratchet the snark and "ask":
So what point were you failing to make?

guys, I think people are so obsessive about the iPhone because the (US) phone market is kind of pathetic. Most of the really good phones you have to purchase unlocked. Has anybody actually played with the half-assed "chocolate" phone? It's horrible and it's still selling.
Apple has the potential to completely tear up the market. None of the carriers are very mac friendly. Using your phone as a modem usually involves some sort of crack, and it's also hard to update firmware since everything is for PC. If apple can do anywhere near what it did with the iPod but with the phone industry......it's over.

Not gonna happen. For starters, how do you type in names for your audio tracks when you've got your keyboard swapped for a mixer? :)
Still, neat idea.
External keyboard [and mouse]? I think this is a wicked idea - might compromise the 'laptop' status a little bit, but I wouldn't think that you'd use a 'music keyboard' or 'mixer' configuration on your lap anyway.
'citing!

I find it odd that they show two different ways of warning for phishing: the red bar and the sheet.

Perhaps iLife 07 will see some major enhancements and as a result, be released in tandem with Leopard to capitallize on certain functionality/integration. :cool:
i hope so, os x should include ilife 07 on the os x install dvd. Not just with new computers.

Combine this with 3D glasses technology, and you will have everything to simulate real life 3D: seeing an object from two different angles at once + being able to change your viewing angle by just moving your head! This will probably look very cool but I think this head tracking 3D stuff is enough for most things now.

Today was a bit like the whole bloody series, first England strike out the Australia come back and so it goes.
My concern is that, up to now, the Australian bowling has been suspect, their batting so-so, but there are signs of a batting resurgence and England have one strike bowler missing with no benefit from the extra batsman....
This could go right down to the wire.
Again. :eek:

Worst...streaming....ever....
And this is the company that supposedly will be handed the crown for online movie rentals and downloads?
This happens year after year. The day of the keynote (and sometimes days/weeks afterward) always sees enormous demand for the stream but they never allocate enough to handle it. You think that they would have figured it out by now, and they better pretty damn quick if they expect to stream movie rentals - reliably that is.
I have a 3 megabit DSL connection and this is what I'm getting. They get an F. Pathetic.
Agreed. The streaming gets pathetic with every event. I have an 8MB broadband and the streaming feels more a 24KB stream. Still yet to get past intro before lock ups i guess i'll try later in 6 months.

In Texas, you can get mixed drinks through the drive through! It's considered a "closed" container if the cup has a lid on it and the straw still has the paper over the top portion. I always thought that was hilarious.
Louisiana is like that. It always cracked me up when going through a drive-through liquor store and there would be a "please don't drink and drive" sign there as you pulled out. Louisiana used to have not only drive through daquiri stores, but full service drive through liquor stores. I haven't checked lately, though. Then again, Louisiana was the last state to raise their drinking age to 21, and only did it after the feds cut off highway funding.

I agree with you in a lot of ways.....being a business major, I understand the need for margin on a product....HOWEVER, Apple should first be interested in gaining MARKET SHARE. With this little $899 baby, Apple had a chance to really market a one-size-fits-all solution for many families. For instance, I work at Best Buy in computer sales and I see NO NEED for anything past Intel Integrated Graphics on the computers we sell to 75-80 percent of the people that come in a purchase a computer. The educational iMac would have been PERFECT for the masses, a computer that's more than capable for what most people want to do with it, with the capability for a little bit of gaming as well. Anyone who needs more can get the one with the graphics card.
I agree with the fact that margin has to be made, but there comes a time when you have to gain market share. Once you've done that and the volume of business you are doing is much greater than before (and your competitors are in the dust, much like I would like Dell and Windows to be), you can increase your margin and please the shareholders....
My two cents, Apple messed up on this one, hopefully we see that iMac configuration or a similar model on the market soon...
Excellent points made! Apple messed up bigtime!

Humans that can survive on their own without depending on others.
That is not true.
A human newborn left out on their own would not survive.
So someone must raise that child up to the point where it could survive on its own.
And until that point, it would indeed "depend on others".

Your rebuttel makes no sense. He's not talking just about himself but in general about the risk of defection among people that arent willing to wait. Himself being an example.
With the fierce competition iOS faces from android right now and maybe also nokia by then, you seem like a fanboy out of touch with the present market reality. You can be sure he wont be the only one pondering this. Very risky move from apple if they would delay the next iphone IMNSHO.
I don't see any risk. Apple buyers are sufficiently ignorant of other choices, and too vain to be seen with anything without the Apple logo to prove their cool.
They will, as the white holdouts, wait for an unreasonable amount of time. Even if at their own expense. Apple had them right where they want them. waiting with baited breath.
