Interesting that iOS 7 sometimes eliminates a step. My kids' principal knows I'm knowledgeable on this stuff. He grabbed me this morning to ask how to find airplay on his ipad now that he is on iOS 7.

Hey buddy, I opt out too all the time. It once did not work out for me also. Don't worry about be a hypocrite or being an absolutist. You are still sending a message and slowing the stupid operation down by opting out 99% of the time.

I've set off the machine in question before. I am a american male mid thirties swedish/english/german (and look it). The person assumed the machine was wrong and spent a bit of extra time with me and sent me on my way. This w

Although battery health and maintenance is interesting I have never bothered to nurse or baby my batteries on my equipment. If the battery gets to be too short lived its time to replace it.

Yeah. That is similar to my 3rd thought and very similar to one of the programmer's thoughts. Makes a lot of sense since it would be hard to find the person who wanted to do the day in and day out 'fix the printer' stuff and

This company seems thin skinned. I agree its best not allow abusive relationships with customer fester. However I don't agree that you should react to a customer blowing off steam the same way as a customer that is serially abusive.

I'm annoyed that its difficult and time consuming to move to a new house in a new city. I mean you have to hire movers, pack up all your stuff, and find a new place to live.

I had an ST rather than Amiga. So we know I'm suspect ;). But I, when I got my 3GS iPhone, kept telling folks it was my favorite computer I ever owned. Still feel that way.

I enjoy Apple products a lot. The details of this new connector look great and I'm glad to be rid of the dock connector. However I think the $30 price tag is out of line. They only charge $10 for the magsafe 2 adapter* which is more inline
