Really, I think the article should have been titled: I am Now Dependent on Modern Technology and Don't Like the Alternative
- crististm 14y agoNo, what? You end up confirming what I said: it's an application issue - be it free or proprietary. But in her case, phone syncing in a proprietary world is more of a problem. I think she meant it like "I'm dependent on MAC Technology and I can't get out".
- rosser 14y ago(FYI, an appreciable number of the downvotes you're receiving are probably because you're consistently using male pronouns for the author of a post on rachelbythebay.com. You might want to fix that, and your assumptions...)
- crististm 14y agoThanks
- coldtea 14y agoAnd what if it's a male called Rachel? (Like the "boy named Sue"). Or this guy: http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1290&dat=19900628&id=-9tOAAAAIBAJ&sjid=_4wDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4348,5031260 http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1290&dat=19900628&...

- crusso 14y agoYou're assuming an abstraction of what she posted and claiming that's what she meant as her point. Her use of Mac/Apple/iTunes/Jobs as specific references without explicitly making the point you're making mean that we can't logically rely on your assumption.
