Apple products lick the salty sweat off ancient crinkley donkey balls.
Not my words, I'm just quoting someone who posted this on the web. I think he/she might work for Apple.

I've got two debt collectors chasing me for debts that simply aren't mine. Their technique seems to be to write nasty letters to people with the same name as the debtor so that the innocents will ring them up to prove they aren't in debt. They use an 0844 phone number so you have to pay them for the privilege of speaking to them. When you get through, they won't tell you what it's about until you give them a lot of personal information. If you don't respond to them, they assume you're the droid they're looking for and start sending even more threatening letters.
I have quite a stack of their threat-mail piling up but I assume that more vulnerable people are panicked into doing their job for them and so their sordid parasitic little businesses thrive.
Below are examples of Leviticus 18:22 in "the bible" where most christian nutjobs get their authority to oppress others. The source text is the same for all versions of the bible but the variety of wording shows that it can be retranslated to better suit a particular point of view. Christ never said anything about homosexuality but he was a busy man and can't be expected to remember everything.
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."
"It is disgusting for a man to have sex with another man."
"No man is to have sexual relations with another man; God hates that."
"Do not practice homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman. It is a detestable sin."
I think the best way to deal with these trolls is to ignore them or laugh at them.
Messenger: Steve Jobs is dead.
Octavius: [Quietly, stunned] Is that how one says it? As simply as that? Steve Jobs is dead. Steven Paul Jobs is dead! The soup is hot, the soup is cold, Steve Jobs is living, Steve Jobs is dead.
[He suddenly turns and begins to shout.]
Shake with terror when such words pass your lips, for fear they be untrue! And Steve cut out your tongue for the lie, if not true! For your lifetime boast that you were honoured to speak his name even in death! The dying of such a man must be shouted, screamed...it must echo back from the corners of the universe. Steve Jobs is dead! Steve Jobs of Apple lives no more!
Perhaps a rotating section of the spacecraft could solve this problem. I know that simulating gravity without causing motion sickness needs a very large diameter (100m) wheel but if the crew only used it when lying down, it should be possible to use a much smaller size.
Various tests have been done to simulate the effects of zero G on the body by having volunteers stay in bed for hundreds of days. I don't remember reading anything about it causing eye trouble.
So maybe sleeping in a low gravity chamber could help reduce the build up of pressure from spinal fluid.
In Boston (and other US Cities) you can take part in a Segway city tour. I had to step aside to allow a motorised column of Japanese tourists and their guide to pass me on the pavement.
Boston seemed quite a pedestrian friendly city and I don't think theses gizmos should be allowed to hog the pavements.
Urine is a none toxic substance but some of its ingredients (sodium, potassium calcium, etc.) diluted by 7.8 million gallons of water might create a whole range of rather potent homeopathic medicines.
These might cause severe reactions if consumed by anyone who believes in that kind on nonsense.
...enough to call it the iPad 3!
I think the only reason Apple gave it the lesser title of iPad 2 is because it's their second version of the product. Those crazy guys eh!
Mark my words, this product will crash and burn in exactly the same way as its predecessor didn't.
My god, what an awful and depressing thought! And yet you've probably identified the most likely use of 3D on our TV channels - adverts!
I record the TV shows I like and watch them later so that I can skip the adverts. But those annoying logos and in-programme messages are unstoppable and becoming more and more intrusive.
Years ago I had an idea of cloning a card and getting an accomplice to withdraw a large sum of money from a cash machine while I was withdrawing a small sum, at about the same time but many miles away.
I would then complain to the bank and claim they'd made an error and ask for my money to be restored. I never tried it because I'm such an honest and law-abiding citizen but it seemed like a hole in the hole-in-the-wall system.
The US needs to move to Chip and Pin or geocode their ATMs and add some Pythagorus to their transaction process.
1) E-mail a file from within finder? Just select the file and then from the Finder menu select Services> New E-mail With Attachment.
2) Cut a file a paste it elsewhere? erm...not that big of a deal.
3) Right click a file and select "Rename"? Just click on the file and then click on its name (Don't do this too quickly or that counts as a double click).
4) Select a file and press the "Delete" key... nothing happens! This is just something you have to get used to. And it's there for a reason.
"Finder is lacking so many features I could go on for hours." - I don't doubt it!
