Erm, no. just no. I have a tiny wireless mouse for my laptop just because I don't really like trackpads. I love that my mouse isn't affected by the dryness level of my fingers, by humidity. I would much rather use my mousewheel than some difficult gesture. Being a tall male, I have large hands - unwieldy hands…

That, and since Apple goes around trumpeting its somewhat ridiculous profits and cash hoard, and clearly is the biggest exploiter out of the list, they're clearly in the best position to make a difference.

Wait, sleeping standing up? I gotta learn this guy's trick!

I'd argue the ipod was far from the first good mp3 player.. just the first well marketed & popular one.

Agreed. From everything I've read about the man, he didn't do things out of love, just pure greed.

it's perfectly suited for a device with only one button!

67, at the moment ;)

Mostly their lovely double standard for stealing others' significant IP whilst suing everyone with their dubiously granted 'rectangle' or 'slide to unlock' patents

Furthermore, it's not like they completely ignored the problem before. They have been quick to act when things are discovered to be malware. The headline is written to sow FUD over the Android ecosystem.

Pew, Pew!

some people venture out into the world on occasion.

There's almost no non-Nexus phones with ICS yet. They've already committed to it for the RAZR (and this is the same software-wise). A few months ago, someone did a study showing Moto was the quickest to update out of everyone.

Only issue with that is to destroy the partition, at least on modern drives with a mechanism that is worth anything takes a long, long time.

I wonder if they took into account the massive difference in productivity.. I doubt you'd need 8700 here. And again, with proper planning, you build that into your schedule.

In the scenario they talked about, it was a failure of engineering/management, not production. If you're coming in and making huge design changes with a few weeks to spare, you screwed up, plain and simple.

Largely because companies pulled this crap and nobody's going to get training in something they can't use.

That's a big part of it, yes. When Stevie demanded something, they woke tons of people up in the middle of the night and made them work on it right away.

Plus, CWIS systems are a lot more existent than they were in WWII :)

a phone that will be /exactly/ the same, if not better, if you wait a few days. Camping out for a non-quantity-limited item blows my mind. not in a good way.

No, it's still wrong in America too.
