1. Comment - The world doesn't need an Apple tablet, or any other

   (Jan 3, 2010 - 3:02 AM)

   I'm sorry, but I call bullshiat. We're not in the same place we were 5 years ago with this middling stuff. We're in the wireless cell / gps / interconnected world of the now, and just think of 2015:

   Civilians really don't need laptops or even netbooks. They NEED something that facilitates what they want to do, which is communicate and share. That's my wishlist for 2015, have a read.

2. Comment - AT&T: The end of the wireline telephone is in sight

   I think it's time for Google, Apple and the FCC to man up and school AT&T. Over 2 decades after the divestiture and these jackholes STILL can't get their act together and don't even want to. Here's my 2 yen:

   Seriously. ATT needs to either be schooled or go the way of the telegraph. It's 2010!

3. Comment - The PDF redaction problem: TSA may have been using old software

   (Dec 11, 2009 - 5:01 AM)

   Damned if you do and damned if you don't.
   
   The older software is less buggy, has full[er] disclosures of bugs, and was developed before the big outsource/offshore/H1B fiasco.
   
   The newer software is... well.. a pale imitation of what Adobe used to be, if this commenter on my blog is any indication:

   And I agree with mjm01010101, for those in the know, PDF security is a joke.

4. Comment - Microsoft 'worked with Apple' for Silverlight on iPhone, says Goldfarb

   I don't know, are you paid by Adobe to counter-shill? You're being deliberately thick about a Silverlight MEDIA PLUGIN for IIS.
   
   I really don't care HOW they do as long as they keep plugins out of MY IPHONE. I'm sorry that the fact that they brand it 'Silverlight' makes your brain fart. Everyone else gets it.
   
   Sounds like professional jealously to me that some buggy plugin vendor zigged and got it wrong while MSFT *zagged* and got it right. Your name wouldn't be Dowdell would it?
