As pointed out already, Breach of Contract (one you don't even *sign* no less) is not illegal. It is a civil matter.

Additionally you should probably stop parroting Apple if you don't know what the words mean; "Due to worm which only affects iPhones with the security software disabled" is not accurate. There is no "disabled security software" involved with this 'worm' (which it isn't) whatsoever. It is the specific installation of a specific application that enables this.

Note too that prior to this, every single known security exploit ever successfully used against an iPhone has been on "locked down" phones with factory software.

If you are going to engage in apologetics and wag your finger, do try to be more informed in the future.

@ttsgeb We should never, ever be afraid to learn, to know, or to confirm what we do not know.
It is the essential reason why we are here.

And Pie. To discover the nature of how the natural world works...and pie.

Ignorant fool:

Tar isn't some magic component added to cigarettes, you anti-tobbaco "racist".

Tar is a byproduct of pyrolysis. It is produced by burning any organic material.

Look. Smoking is bad for you, no doubt...over a protracted period of time. However, this notion that breathing a whiff of smoke will shorten your life by a day or a myriad of other junk science notions that have been used to essentially make ONE QUARTER of America citizens some sort of pariah while unfairly taxing them to support OTHER PEOPLE is a bit much.

For Apple to claim the machine was a "biohazard" would need them to back it up with FACTUAL DATA that indicated this. They could say it was "yuckky", or "stinky", or "we are a bunch of holier-than-thou California hippies asswipes that would rather have people living in their own piss in the streets than to cut down some trees for housing...but we care too much about human health to touch your computer"...but to label it a 'biohazard' is just plain nonsense.

And no. I do not smoke. But more than that, I do not tolerate stupid statements about smoking from anyone...especially since smoking is the New Racism.

Some of the same rhetoric used about and against smokers has been used repeatedly to oppress other minority groups too...and with about as much evidence. It is so bad that some people use if or not people smoke AT HOME as a condition not to hire...

Sorry. It just really irritates me to no end...especially when some stoner says something stupid like "weed doesn't have tar". Where the hell do you think the tar comes from? Smoke, you idiot.

No...I think he works for the Obama Administration.

I got this in this morning.

I can confirm it supports and plays back 720p.

At first I thought it did not as the first title I tried seemed to "hang" (Leverage TV Series) however another title I tried did in fact play and does so @ 720p

Erm. That was a *horrible* rebuttal article. His basic take was "these claims are all true but I don't care"...c'mon :)

@NohOne:

Very well-written and well reasoned...and it would have stayed that way until your imagined coup de grace:

The QuickTime container format is an open standard, has been for years, and is the container format for the mpeg 4 video specification. Either that, you don't know what "proprietary" means, because "MOV" is just as proprietary as engadget, windows, McDonald's fries and just about everything else. It is owned by someone :)

If you mean non-interoperable, well, note what I said before.

What the DSi LL demonstrates, in a nutshell, is that Nintendo's business is customer and market-driven, whereas, Sony (PSPGo we are sooo looking at you) seems to begrudgingly acquiesce to customer demands.

Sony seems to plan its strategy around forum and blog anticipation...but doesn't actually look at what is being bought and sold and by whom. The corporate culture there is similar to Apple's with regard to dictating what you want and need.

Sometimes it works. When it doesn't, they are VERY monolithic and slow to respond...to their detriment.

I think the word all of you "DJs" (except the one) is looking for is "turntablism"...which is a wholly different style and class than (merely) beatmatching

There are some that posit that beatmatching lacks a level of showmanship...and only at the very advanced levels, such as key mixing, is really mowadays that much of a skill with the advent of so much software and hardware assistance.

That is to say, a kid with a bit of coin and 3 weeks of summertime constant practice and a sense of rhythm can put together a playlist that can be beat mixed fairly convincingly...but turntablism requires a level of manual dexterity and hand eye coordination.

Most of the "DJs" that I hear fobbing it off as dated are highly incapable of actually doing it in the first place :)

I don't understand the "it costs too much" argument.

The game costs the same as any other game for ps3 or xbox360: $60.

The controller costs the same as any other Red Octane controller: $60.

*shrug*
