@Drummertist v.2: I've often wondered why Apple made the mistake of not applying for a patent on the rectangle. Now everyone is copying their four-sided shape. And putting the screen on the front? C'mon people, you can't patent that, but be less shameless in your copying of what was clearly Apple's stroke of genius!

@certifiedfryguy: Resisting...urge...to make...racial/sexual...joke...

@ledzep23: Let me know how that goes. Especially check in with Nanking. They may have a few words to say about it.

@adt1015: It had so much potential. And I hear the OS is actually pretty spiffy...

@FreeMizJenkins aka Valkyrie607: And I think you are inserting sentiments in between the lines that were not meant to be there by the authors of the comments you linked to.

@p4w4rr10r: Wow, Maiden's still putting stuff out? Go on them!

@adt1015: A friend of mine tells me the Palm Pre makes him regret getting the Palm Pre...

@p4w4rr10r: I am shamefully lacking my 80's metal knowledge...

I call it camping.

@FreeMizJenkins aka Valkyrie607: Your comment must have been broken, because the one you linked to didn't say a single word alluding to the civilians deserving to be bombed.

@lazylex: Agreed. Android has handled this quite well. I love knowing I can try something and keep it or delete it if I want to.

@FreeMizJenkins aka Valkyrie607: I have read quite a bit fo this thread, and I haven't seen anything directed at the citizens.

@p4w4rr10r: Just playin' with ya! Nice poem. Did you write that?

May God forgive those who forced the US into making such a difficult decision.

@p4w4rr10r: It's a good thing you put "/fin" at the end, otherwise I would have gone nuts wondering where the rest of the poem went.

@FreeMizJenkins aka Valkyrie607: No one believes the civilians had it coming, and no one has said that. No one who did this did it because they wanted to see this kind of suffering. they did it because they had seen enough and wanted a swift end, and this was the way that resulted in the least amount of suffering…

@Ryan_Long: The only people that can have an opinion such as those are those who did not live through it, or have forgotten it.

@mschipperheyn: Not true. The Japanese leaders were prepared to suffer complete loss by attrition. It was not the number of dead that convinced them, it was the method.

@hal9000mx:

@T-reG: If you look at it in an overly-reduced and simplistic manner, ignoring decades of history, religious motivations, and the other side of the coin entirely...then yes, maybe.
