Really wish I knew who that was, don't you? I'm really curious as to which politician's policies are so frail that they can't stand the heat of confrontation.

+1 Those who do wrong and want to hide it deserve the full light of day. Hope Google continues down the path of freedom and altruism.

Someone earlier mentioned that Tim Cook responded to an email about the problem with folk having two Apple I.D.s (typically, this has happened when setting up the initial account to allow for the purchasing of songs, etc. on iTunes, before MobileMe was created). The demand was for a mechanism to merge two i.D.s …

Before anyone asks - according to the iTunes store blurb, yes it's international in scope and apparently(*1) covers Canadian airlines.

I'd send a congratulatory card to the Libyan government but I'm still confused on the spelling of his name. Guess the secret for that got blown up when he did. #sad

That's a good point. Really, the less restrictions, the better when it comes to opening up Google+ to the world. Just makes good sense.

There may be a method to their madness on this one. If you're plugging in your iPad or iPhone (or whatever) chances are good that you're not actually using it. Still, if you want it to sync when you don't want to plug it in, you can. You just have to tell it to sync and it will.

Good idea. I could probably ship it to my son and he'd appreciate being able to use it for music only.

I've a 3GS to unload. May have to pay someone to haul it away...

Of course you're right. It just takes a little while to get there for some of us. Those of us who establish the ground rules for what we'll tolerate from the get-go will either will drive the woman away, or we'll have a more peaceable time. In my case, I'd have probably lost her but retained my sanity (and a lot…

People told me this before I got married but I didn't believe them.

Have you always only plugged it into your computer? If so, does your computer have Xcode installed?

No problem.

A lot of folk are noticing that running the updated version on the iPhone pretty either bricks the phone or slows it down. And that after deleting the app, it can't be re-installed. Most folk encountering this are running IOS 4.3.5. Others who are running IOS 5.0 don't seem to be having the problem.

You still retain the right to keep silent (whether or not your rights have been read to you). If you decide to encrypt your phone and put a password on it, you are therefore not obligated to divulge anything - including that password - to the authorities.

They generally do. The Facebook app is not an "Apple Product".

Damn. Jumped over to the iTunes App store before reading the final paragraph. That'll teach me to read to the end first.

I had a similar experience at an Apple store this past week and just could not believe they would just replace the product (an iPad2) but they did. Yesterday I was on my way out. Got my keys, looked around for the TV remote (the all news channel was on, muted), and then I saw the words flash on the screen. Sat…

It has to do with an identifier as to whether the new iPhone is a major or minor release. A minor release involving cosmetic changes, and a few new features would be 4x (4S in this case) but a major release (which would include a major new feature like 4G/LTE) would bring it to the next full version number.
