I'm a switcher of two types.
Read on.
I've been a PC owner and builder ever since I built up a 233Mhz Cyrix from scratch years ago. It's been upgraded a few times and I've been satisfied with it up to now.
But then I saw the Cube.
For some reason I developed a little obsession over that cute little computer and attempted to learn all I could about it.
One thing led to another and before you knew it, I was deep in Apple-land and I didn't even realize it.
At that time I had Win98 on my PC and it was notoriously crash happy. I then read about MS's latest OS (XP) which was supposed to be a lot more stable so I got it.
And then my eyes were opened.
I never liked the idea of activation so I spend many wasted hours trying (and succeding) to crack it.
It ended up being a very reliable and stable OS, but as time went on, I learned more and more about MS's policies and became more uncomfortable with the idea of using one of their products daily.
So I decided to check out Linux.
After many failed attempts at getting the most basic of things working under Mandrake 8.2, I ended up wiping it and going back to XP.
A few months later a 300Mhz Blueberry iBook came up for sale right here on MR. I talked to my parents about it and they agreed that it would be a good investment to have when I move out. So I bought my first Mac! (still Cubeless)
But I wasn't done with my PC yet.
I had learned of this company called Lindows.com that was attempting to run Windows software on Linux. Interested, I looked up as much info as I could and decided to give it a shot after 2.0 was released.
My CD arrived in the mail and I installed it on a seperate hard drive and gave it a whirl. It was still a bit unstable, but much more usable than Mandrake.
I decided to wait until the final version came out to experiment with it again and I just got the 3.0 CDs in the mail a few days ago and I can now say I am on my way to becoming 100% MS free.
If it weren't for a couple of niche things, I would competely wipe XP from my hard drive and happily use Lindows and OSX.

We're afraid to. We don't want to anger you, for you are universally considered to be the meanest member. I am thankful that I live 1000 miles away. That thing you did with the puppies and the fireworks "just to see what would happen" still haunts me.

I'm looking forward to trying this out when I get home tonight. I won't pay $15 for the whole kit, but there are a couple of 99-cent packs that I wouldn't mind trying out.
I have fond memories of playing Atari 2600 with my cousins at my grandparents' house when I was little. I was late to the game buying a 2600 of my own (I got mine when NES was all the rage) but I still loved it and was very saddened when I found out my parents had sold my entire Atari kit, including dozens of games, at a garage sale for a measly $5!
I hope they continue to add games. There are a few that I enjoyed that I don't see on the list.

Seriously, the iOS maps app is so unreliable. Sometimes it's super fast and sometimes (i.e. whenever I really need it quickly) it lags so bad, doesn't load maps or traffic info, takes forever to get directions, etc, and basically makes me want to throw my iPhone out the window. The maps app needs a serious reliability overhaul.
Also, what is so bad about the iOS notification system? I just hit "Close" if I don't care about a notification at that time.

... POP doesn't really do it for me, I'll only use it if they provide IMAP access.
Joshua, they do provide IMAP access :) ... From the help pages:
... use mail.mac.com for the POP or IMAP server, and your ISP's SMTP server for the outgoing mail server. If your email program supports SMTP authentication, you can use smtp.mac.com instead of your ISP's SMTP server.
In Mac OS 9, your email program uses POP by default. Mac OS X Mail uses IMAP by default for .Mac Mail accounts.

Here are the questions that remain to be officially answered:
� Which voice plans qualify and which don't?
� For those using Google Voice, is your own Google Voice number (since GV can be configured to call you) considered landline or mobile? What about the GV passthrough numbers for your non-GV contacts?
� So the A-list and rollover minutes essentially became useful only for U.S. landline numbers, correct?

Edit: As an "armchair lawyer," I would probably just sue for restitution. For the other armchair lawyers: Yes, restitution is a cause of action.
On what grounds would the buyer be eligible for restitution if the buyer receives a full refund? You tell me how the buyer, after receiving said refund, is damaged past the initial and temporary loss of funds from being slightly unaware.

So Samsung believed Apple was violating it's patents all this time but decided to do nothing about it. Now that they have been pushed they decide to act. Sounds to me they are trying to find whatever they can to bite back at Apple.
Well it could be that they thought they had a mutual understanding with Apple that they could borrow some technologies from each other but now that Apple choose to sue (Apple waited too you know, the Galaxy S wasn't exactly launched two weeks ago) Samsung is not gonna let it slide. I'm not commenting on the validity of the claim but I want to point out that people should remember that patents aren't only for the tangible things we consumers see, like the similarities between iOS and Touchwiz, but also the transparent to us consumers- under the hood technology, for which Samsung holds lots of patents.

The thing is, all these games are available for free online for your mac. I suppose if you want to play them on your ipad or phone that's one thing. If that doesn't matter, you can get your nostalgia for free. Same goes for NES, Coleco, Super NES, and Genesis emulators.
They may be available for free, but that doesn't really mean they are available legally. :)

Then definitely steer cleer of the 60GB iPod.
Seriously, wanting a correlation between total song time and single-session battery life is a bit off IMO.
Everybody WANTS it....but reality says otherwise.
we are talking about the shuffle
the other iPods cover different needs so capacity, size, battery life, etc, will be different

I tried cleaning out the pins on the bottom of the phone, but still no luck. Still comes up with a message saying "This accessory is not supported by iphone" when I try and play it through the speakers.
