@Cabs21: Dragging the app from the Dock just eliminates it from the Dock (with a nice "poof' effect). To delete an application from your computer, find it in the Applications folder (you can access it on the Dock) and trash it from there.

@John: Most of these support files are there and/or built-into the OS to make the functioning of the Mac App Store application (and things like iTunes, etc) work as easily as it does , handling the installation, etc. If there's no app to call on these functions, they're just there and don't do anything, like thousands…

@Cabs21: " they [Apple] wont let you remove it." Where did you get that from? The article describes one method of removing it. A simpler one is to just toss the Mac App Store application in the trash, or just not use it. No reason to be "annoyed" at Apple. Although the author's unsubstantiated and meaningless…

I really can't believe that they're not releasing the mobile versions at the same time. It's probably so they can skim all the profits off of PC/Mac users at $20 each before they release the mobile versions, which will need to be much cheaper. I hope no one falls for this. What a lame approach.

@jepzilla: The first AI article that I referred to was printed on October 26, 2007 ([www.appleinsider.com] This is the one that illustrated an "articulated frame" as one of the methods, which is what I think you are referring to. Nokia's patent application a year later is the one that was noted by Gizmodo as…

@MigL: And what exactly does this have to do with tactile feedback?

@tw0 bears: Neither one of your references has anything to do with changing screen tactility. They're just demos of touch-based interfaces.

Sounds rather similar to the Apple patent that was described by AppleInsider as "a dynamic surface that gives users tactile feedback when typing in order to identify individual keys."

Here's a blogger who was detained by TSA for taking photos of the security area, which is allowed. The best discussion part:

@eternalcthulhu: The tweeters report the scanners as roped off and not used, not that they didn't see anyone going thru them. Big difference and directly contradicting TSA statements.

@m0m0: Really funny FAKE website is more like it. Read the comments by those who tried this on their iPhones - it's all bogus.

Totally bogus. I just tried this sentence on the iPhone and not only did it not suggest changing "Disney" to "divorce," but it actually auto-suggested completing Disney with proper capitalization.

@funkotronic: You still don't get it: there's no story to break. It's not a secret. Everyone knows Apple is working on a new version. It takes a long time to design and bring into production a new device. They probably started work on the update the moment they signed off for production on the current model, perhaps…

@funkotronic: Wow! Are you saying Apple is working on the next, updated version of the iPad? Unbelievable! What a news break! Bravo to PC World!

COSTCO was angry with Apple for not getting any iPads to sell, so they couldn't possibly be the source of these units, right?

@vpcmotorsport: Kind of a phone... It was really meant for use as an acoustically coupled modem for data transfers, before that whole new-fangled internet thing came along.

@Ryan: I guess Gizmodo should, then, do an article about the oppressive, inhumane working conditions in the US.

Using beta software for mission critical applications? Sorry, but you don't deserve any sympathy.
