Does it happen on Wifi too? Or is Apple forcing it to go through 3G? Wifi would be easy to detect and block.

@kfrancist: Thanks, kinda what I was looking for. I figured you wouldn't really be able to tell if you have a shorter than normal attention span since for you, that's what's normal.

So here's a fundamental and non-rhetorical question: how do you know if you have attention span and focus problems?

@OptionalJoystick: But nothing compels you to click on the links?

@pantsonfireliarliar: other bad photographers = Stephen shore, avedon, Leibovitz, david lachapelle.

lols, some of the greatest, most interesting images by bresson, Arbus, eggleston, and others considered masters rate 50 and below! but taking a look at their highest rated images looks like the most boring stock photos i've ever seen.

No, there won't be much usefulness coming out of the ruling but as my dad always says, "It's the principle." This is just common sense prevailing and a little nip at the corporations who up until now have seemingly controlled the DRM/DMCA conversation from the beginning.

Yay for common sense!

Haha, they forgot to include the first mass media tool: the printing press! Oh the horrors that has caused.

@TeddyBuck: No worries, I've never actually watched Cagney and Lacey. :)

I've quadrupled my data usage since AT&T introduced their plans. Wasn't using anywhere near what I paying for!

@rock38climb: They don't work that well. And you can't rest your hand on the iPad while writing. In other words, you're right, it's just like jailbreaking: a hack.

@TeddyBuck: Ok I saw that original comment thread after I posted this. And yes maybe just a fraction of that TV time could be spent doing productive creation (sorry, wikipedia contribution is a horrible example) but my last point still stands: time spent watching TV does not equal a significant amount of cognitive…

This is a bit ridiculous no? It's consuming vs creating, two completely different activities.

The shuttle's heat shield is made to be reusable, let alone engineered several decades ago, so I wonder if a better material is already available for this hypothetical manned trip to the sun.

@cafields: maybe not fix it but mitigate it enough that it's not as serious an issue.

This is awesome, they're building the most expensive ghost town ever!

@roessnakhan: Nice find. :)

@grafxguy: If I encountered that "genius," I'd probably take advantage of Apple's full refund return policy just out of spite. What an ass.

@musiqrulez: Impressive app, it turns an iPhone into an iPad for horizontal view!
