By that logic, since it is a decentralized network with no central governance, no one has a right to stop them from seizing it. Law of the jungle, man. :-)

If America's greatest fault is the Iphone then we are in much better shape than I thought

Off topic but I always wonder if a plane has accidentally fallen off the back of a carrier?

There are only 10 kinds of iPhone users. Those that have them, and those that don't.

No, they aren't giving you any *actual money* - they are offering you a discount on grossly overpriced garbage, in exchange for giving them something that actually *IS* worth money.

I think you just have a poor perspective on people. Just the other day I scrolled down to the comments on a story about pandas and the first comment made a non-sequitor reference to "Obummer", a portmanteau of the presidents last name and the term "bummer", a late 20th century colloquialism for disappointment. I found…

the ineptitude here is your theory that Samsung deserves credit for the chip Apple designed solely because they assembled it. Since when do assembly line workers outrank engineers?

To accomplish the thing you're referring to would require a hardware or software compromise installed by Apple [EDIT: Installed by apple IN CHINA - most online orders are drop-shipped and never visit an American…

Excuse me sir but you're delusional. Please reevaluate yourself.

the difference between 32bit and 64bit means almost nothing to the end user, because apps are universally built in both with only a handful of not-too-important exceptions.

That statement makes no sense.

My guess is you don't really grasp how encryption works.

Or send the useless and broken ones (I'm looking at you 8mb card that came with my camera) to me! I'm making a mosaic made out of SD card "pixels" like the mosaic I made of the golden gate bridge using lego men http://brynforbes.com/lego Support the arts! I'd sure appreciate it!
