Mm, so far existing efforts to "petition" MS to actually make the thing don't seem too popular: http://www.petitiono...ourier/petition.htmlIt certainly can't hurt ... and I signed both of the above - Now that I know about them...

Would a dedicated website make the difference? Who knows.

But for what I do, I've come to increasingly see that the iPad is a good fit. And if that's the case, then how does it fall short? They're all tools- use what works for you, not what anyone tells you is right for you, whether it's the company that makes the tools, or the people around you that use them, IMO. And a lesson that I took away from it also- don't depend on the marketing or anti-marketing efforts, try the device and see if it will fit your workflow.-wraith808 (May 06, 2010, 08:52 AM)
But Apple continues its "Emperor's New Clothes" marketing. It's almost like marketing a Honda motorcycle as the best bicycle around, while some of us are scratching our heads wondering why you wouldn't just go with a Harley-Davidson. That may be a bad analogy, since I'm not into motorcycles and don't know what would be considered low, mid, or top-class in the motorcycle realm, but I hope the idea comes across well.-Deozaan (May 06, 2010, 02:17 AM)
@StoicJoker-That's a relief, I had a feeling if nobody got the humor I'd get hammered for it
Like it!

...but I hit post anyway.But there's a few problems with the analogy.Damn, Okay I'll give it a shot.
Well... Unless you're planning to use the two wrongs make a right defense, you can't really leverage that distinction.
- Bookie Jim is engaged in an illegal activity. Apple isn't. (At least on paper.)
Actually no, SP is just some random schmuck off the street. Perhaps it's just a Florida thing, but we have 1-800-crimeline billboards all over the place. Any Joe average can dial-in a dime on someone/thing and pickup a check (assuming the tip is (convict-able) valid). Being a bar owner (Where PR is an issue for both sides...), I've had occasion to spend quality time with the local Fuzz discussing who is on the top of their Would-Like-to-Find list - So I know first hand that really interesting tips get better rewards.
- Sleazy Pete is working for the police as a paid informant. Gizmodo isn't.
The notebook contained the client list, inventory, and a booking operation business model.
- A paper notebook isn't an engineering prototype. It may contain secrets, but there isn't anything in its form or function that is inherently proprietary. The iPhone contains both proprietary data and embodies proprietary intellectual property in its hardware and design.
- The DA has made it clear he's after Jim. Regardless of how any of us may feel, nobody in authority is actively going after Apple. (At least not yet.)
We have to be careful with analogies. That's why the article by Prof. Green was so valuable. He basically forces us to confront the facts in the actual incident - and the relevant laws - rather than the philosophical and moral issues surrounding them.
As former Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. once remarked:
"This is a court of law, young man, not a court of justice."
And that's an important and very real distinction.
That's the problem with SEO strategies. Most of them are based on some combination of common sense, deductive reasoning, and observation. Many also include a healthy dose of wishful thinking.That reminds me of my favorite response when the brass start asking (or pondering aloud) about what if any SEO we should start shoveling money at. I usually reply: How do you recon they get all 400 folks that paid for their services to fit in the Top Ten of the same category?-40hz (May 05, 2010, 04:36 AM)
This leads to a fundamental problem:Now there's one I never thought of, and it does indeed make perfect sense.
For Google, SEO is an exact science. For everybody else - it's an educated guess.
Small wonder Google can precisely place a 'hit' anyplace they want in their rankings.
Werks for me too.so from my standpoint i think maybe the best bang for the buck in terms of improving site organization is to leave the forum as it is -- and just focus on making the rest of the non-forum website pages on DonationCoder.com better in terms of exposing the rest of the content on the site, and making it easier to maintain those pages.-mouser (May 04, 2010, 01:32 AM)

I can't help but think that if something valuable to me were found/stolen and I told the police who I thought had the item that I'd get not much more than a cop knocking on that person's door as an investigation. I guess that I'm just jealous that Apple gets a full blown bash-the-door-in raid.Two things come to mind:-mwb1100 (May 04, 2010, 04:23 PM)
The only person that I see that is getting the short end of the stick truly is the engineer if what I've read is true- that Apple does have their engineers go out into the field and use the phone as their primary phone. Because if that's the case, then this was eventually going to happen, and he just seemed to draw the short stick in this deal.-wraith808 (May 04, 2010, 04:51 PM)

...Depending on who got ahold of it. You say you could do a great deal with it - Okay... - At what age? The one you are now, or the one you were in 1975? (It's a gamble on my part, you could be in your 60s now...Not in my 60s, but in 79 I made a science project in which I made a robot arm that could move up and down... and I had to wire a circuit board and bridge it to my Apple II computer and made a program to allow the user to control it from the keyboard. A few years later... but not much.-Stoic Joker (April 30, 2010, 05:20 PM)-wraith808 (April 30, 2010, 07:16 PM)
Keep in mind the intention was to share a glimmer of thing to come with the throng of frothing accolades - Not to copy Uber Secret Chip X and rush it into production at competitor Y. Apple created "the Monster" that got off the chain - Gizmodo just gave it a carrot. A is business as usual. Were B the case I'd (still laugh, but) agree with you.No matter what their intent was, they were still doing it by illegal means that they just thought they could get away with. It's not the size of the incident, but the principle behind it. You traffic in stolen goods, you get slammed if caught.-Stoic Joker (April 30, 2010, 05:20 PM)
Sure do, It's called a gamble, and is a standard part of any business. Large corporation dump toxic waste where they like, because the fines are cheaper than the cost of proper disposal. They're gambling on the price of the fine not changing. When it comes to politics vs. tax money - They're probably right too.-Legal fees = a vacuum.Not if it goes like you think it should and nothing happens to them legally. See how that works?-Stoic Joker (April 30, 2010, 05:20 PM)
Accountable for what? Depriving Lord Jobs of a teensy weensy little spark from his next over-the-top release worship revival light show? If they actually had a product... other than their immense marketing hype inducer machine, this would be a total non-issue.-Stoic Joker (April 30, 2010, 05:20 PM)
No... accountability for breaking the law. And I'm no apple apologist, but its just the rule of law at work. And you start breaking it down at these levels, and you pave the way for future grander violations.
Which is one of the reasons it's lame of them to bring the journalistic shield into play since you're using something that's meant to protect real journalists in a way that in the future could limit it when it really needs to be used.If they tossed in a dead nun and a few pound of heroin (making an obvious stretch for Tech Journalism...) I'd agree with ya. But IMO, this is just what that shield be for.
We don’t want to reduce the reliability and security of our iPhones, iPods and iPads by adding Flash.
