I trust valets *in the closed environment of a parking lot*. On the streets of a busy downtown across several parking lots? Not so much

I'm not even convinced that the cockpit looks similar.

Beyond the fact that both are obviously air planes and are clearly knock-offs of the Wright Flyer, I'm having a difficult time seeing how the J20 is ripped off from the F22.

Apple, somehow, is always an exception. Any company that thinks "if Apple can do it, so can we" will be very disappointed.

How about this?

I think I'll make some of these and sell them for $500.

When Mac breaks, those same people blame the user for not repairing permissions or for not using the combo updater.

Well, even the Iranians are saying that it wasn't "shot down", but rather brought down using "electronic interference" which would have indeed resulted in the pilots losing control.

If its that critical, they should probably not allow any electronics onto the plane.

Other companies will also support an old product if the potential liability is high ... and flaming batteries are a really high concern. Even for a product long out of warranty, the company could still be held liable if that product caught fire as a result of a design defect an burnt down a house.

Sometimes, not everyone experiences the same problems. Could be that you don't have the right combination of circumstances to result in the battery drain.

meh ... Tech Support, in any organization, has no insight into corporate direction.

Apple almost *only* ever integrates existing technology into their products. It's *how* they integrate that technology that's innovative.

Location based reminders is a great idea ... in theory. In practice, however, it's a battery eating monster. It should be much smarter (check location - anywhere near a marked location? no=don't check again for 5-30 minutes depending on speed and direction of travel)

True, but the screen is 90% of the driver to smartphone designs.

The terrorists win when people can't wear shinny clothing to the airport without getting treated like a terrorist.

1 in 3200 isn't all that outside when you consider that the odds of getting injured while mowing the lawn are 1 in 3623.

Apple operates under different rules. I suspect people will continue to purchase Apple products even as their homes are being foreclosed. One cannot compete with Apple saying "'X' worked for Apple, so 'X' should work for me as well".
