To repeat what others have said: there is no porn in the Android Marketplace. There is a 3rd party adult appstore. There are also some "girlie" apps like swimsuit model calendars or whatever. Saying "Folks who want porn can buy and [sic] An

Some of Apple's competitors DO make good products. They just do not have the brand loyalty and marketing power of Apple.

This does make good steps in solving the problem of printing with devices that are more web/cloud-based. Of course, there are services like FedEx Print Online already that help to a degree.

The responses make for interesting reading.

You're right, except discussing why one might not want an iPad is not complaining. It's just expressing an opinion.

Maybe some people have a different definition of "progress". I would argue that a dumbed-down device is geared more towards luddites.

"What was the success of Microsoft in the 80s and 90s? I believe it was that they had an open system." Wow, I guess it would take Apple to make Microsoft look open. "Closed Is The New Open"... "Cathedral Is The New Bazaar". Sigh.

Why do you care if the rest of us read iPad articles? This makes no sense. Is it an extension of the Apple-controls-everything philosophy?

And what is the problem with that?

And most of them are crap (I say this as an Android fanboy).

Sorry, but Sweet Leaf Tea is a local Austin business and been around for years. It wasn't "placed" at SXSW by some mega-corp. It just expanded out of Austin. - Your friendly neighborhood local Austinite

This was actually implemented way back in 2009. It is also entirely possible to not use a persona and completely ignore this feature. Skinning/theming is actually a feature that some users may want. I've tried it and it doesn't seem to impa

I know that I shouldn't but I'll bite. It's not about denigrating faith. It's about not having GOD shoved in your face by government. Simple, really, and I doubt your claim of near-atheism.

If the hours are made up in the other four days, it makes sense to me.

petercooper has a very valid point. A whitedating.com site would cause an uproar, even if it was done as tastefully as possible. The anti-racist reactive culture we have is too quick to jump on something like that. Note: I'm not white.

If Apple thinks I'm going to buy an iPhone in the future because they're using legal methods to hinder the competition, they are dead wrong.

(I was tempted to downvote you just for saying "I'm probably going to get downvoted for this") That's a reason that is probably shared among a significant group of people. It doesn't address the failings in Firefox's need to keep up with th

It really is about speed - both load time and rendering. Sadly, I can start Firefox and while it's loading I can start Chrome, IE and Opera and they all finish before Firefox (not an accurate metric, I realise). I love Firefox but speed rul

I just don't understand why it's supposed to better than anything else already on the market - tablet or not. Am I just getting old? What makes it Special besides the brand?

"dizzying complexity"? Seriously? Have Internet users really degenerated to being that stupid?

So you're saying that someone (individual or organization) should choose an opinion and stick to it forever, even in light of facts, policy changes etc?

I would like to see him write that post on an iPad. On second thought, I have better things to do with six hours.

It is, that's true. It's also rude. As the child of a teacher, why would anyone want to be one again?

Doesn't this really belong in a bug report somewhere?
