So buy a mac where iTunes doesn't suck?

Google is an ad company not a search company. Every single thing they do is for the sake of their ads.

Or an elephant? Rumors are tough.

For whatever reason that manual looks like a book on wicca in the sidebar there when I catch it out of the corner of my eye.

This is Gizmodo. 90% of their articles are about Apple somehow, even if Apple isn't involved.

The trial wasn't about rectangles, or slides in general. It was about the specific ones Apple used, and other much worse aspects of Samsung's cheap kickoffs. Such as deliberate copying of icons, the launcher, the phone interface, etc.

How many moms will know which folders will be searched by the script and which will need to be added to the search list manually? I'm guessing more know how to use spotlight or window's search function.

Careful, after all IMO you shouldn't be using a computer unless you can debug and patch the kernel code without help.

"Because if you came out with an out-of-the-park brand new idea that was absolutely astounding and people would flock to it based on name alone"
