Hard copy may be all good and well, but you're then relying on how meticulously the pilot posted his revisions. When you're talking about world-wide revisions, the chance of errors gets even worse. No, I think electronic Jeppesen charts are far safer. They should always be current, and they're a lot easier to get a…

I hear you. It's just that you never know if bozo pictured above wants to kill YOU for your phone. I'd rather not spend time thinking about it, and just put the threat down. That's just me; all I was saying is that I don't think there's a right or wrong answer. In any case, no matter what the outcome, it isn't the…

"Possessions just aren't worth fighting over."

Amen! See, I never understand people that think people like you are crazy ("No gadget is worth taking someone's life!"). EXCUSE ME, but the thief sure thought his life was worth forfeiting for that iPhone! Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked it. If he happens to come out on the bad side of an encounter with me,…

I'm glad someone else noticed what I did weeks ago: those commercials...way too much hype! Against my advice, a good buddy of mine upgraded his 4 to a 4S. I told him Siri wasn't worth it. I told him her novelty would wear off in two weeks. He didn't care; he had to have her. Now he's seeing she's not as awesome as she…

Thank you.

Don't take issue with me! I was writing what some actually believe. Back in '91, my Philosophy term paper was to refute the notion that infanticide and abortion are legitimate based on such notions.

"We stopped supporting CarrierIQ after our hands were caught in the cookie jar tracking our users.... "

It is believed the sentence is meant to read "it is believed by me the sentence is meant to read...."

Except that this rootkit is also in iPhones....

That's the beauty of Android. An entirely different OS is 15 minutes away!

It's safe.

Good and Evo reported all this about two weeks ago, so this news is kind of olds to some of us. People...just root your phones already! There are so many reasons to do it, and so few not to.

I know; I put the word in quotes because I was being sarcastic ;). It's a huge error.

Well said; thank you!

So, we WANT Siri helping us weed out certain "undesirables?" You know...like girls and certain minorities, as some cultures, including our own do? Is there any legal requirement that she do so? I would think if you don't like her replies, you could just pull up your phone's browser, or build your own app.

Believe it or not, there are some who believe exactly what you said. Until a being can express a willingness to live, and demonstrate that willingness by supporting itself (self-feeding, self-caring), it does not have the right to life. So yes, infants are fair game (not my opinion).

Hey! Aren't you wishing on ibemuffin the same thing that you claim was done to you? Let's play nice; he/she had no way of knowing that little detail you withheld.

Troyjo has a good point, and it's one even philosophers have seriously made. There is NO WAY an infant can survive on its own without outside intervention. None. To say that a mother no longer supports an infant with her own body and nutrients...well, I don't know if you know what breasts are actually for.

Yeah, he actually was making a decent argument, except for the "minor" error you point out :)
