You're right. Ideally they wouldn't need my info. In the grand scheme of things, I personally trust Apple more than I trust most other companies. I also expect to have a continuing long-term relationship with them, that includes person-to-person services in addition to sale of products. I also prefer to have a single point-of-contact I can use to sever any relationships I don't want to continue.
So for me it comes down to "who do you trust?" Apple has, historically, been very good about not subscribing me to mailings I don't want. They also never have sold my info (I know this because I use a different email address in a domain I own for every on-line business I do business with. From this I know who, exactly, sells my info. I just look at who my spam is addressed to).
There are quite a number of companies I trust in addition to Apple (a lot of local ones). I cannot remember to ever having received spam from Google (not that I trust them in everything but in this regard they have been good).

The logic remains problematic. It's like arguing that someone who was just in a car accident increased their chance of getting hurt by driving on the road in the first place. You are indeed blaming the victim.
No, the logic is more like blaming someone who didn't put a seatbelt on and died by flying through a windshield
You do realize that all social interactions are not business transactions right? :rolleyes:
Not all social interactions need to be a chance for women to seduce men. When people constantly appeal to men's baser instincts why are they surprised when more men act on baser instincts?
The Burqua is worn to protect a woman's modesty and so they don't dress provocatively according to the standards of the country where the Burqua is worn.
Your views of what constitutes provocative dress is clearly less extreme than that but your opinion appears to be remarkably similar: "Women shouldn't dress provocatively."
It is wrong to make judgement of anyone based on how they are dressed: A woman (or man) may dress provocatively for a night out because they want to find a partner for the night or into the future. That doesn't mean they are an open door to any scumbag who thinks that they can violate them
The Burqa is as much about ownership as modesty, possibly more. Using a society where men buy their wives isn't a good comparison.
So the person is dressing slutty to get sex? Congratulations on confirming what I believe. The more you appeal to baser instincts the more people will act on said instincts...

Jobs is a bloody populist and a charlatan. A genius, undoubtedly. An aesthete (in visuals, certainly not in music!), but a cheat nevertheless� The most skillful cheat in existence.
Wow, "Check out the big brain on Brad!" (Pulp Fiction reference)I honestly had to look up the word aesthete. When you have conversations with people, do they look at you with glossed over eyeballs?

Well..
I'd like to see BR players or HD-DVD players becoming standard at right price just like DVD players.
However, I don't see BR or HD-DVD as my backup media.
I'd rather use several external hard disk due to cheap price/ gig and easy of use.
I wonder how long does it take to burn a BR (or HD-DVD) with that new version of Toast
:rolleyes: :confused: :D
It use to be more than an hour for burning a DVD (x1) of 4 GB...

Hey, Apple!!!
Can you PLEASE include separate email signatures for separate email boxes?!?!?
+eleventybazillion!!!!!!!
Might want to check the signature app in the store. I've had it for over a year, you can choose up to 6 signatures. Use to be called signature pro, but my app says just Signature.
FWIW.

The 8-active FAH Cores answered my question, but maybe it will help someone to know that one client takes care of it all now. This sure is nicer than the beta!
I really hope they get the graphics working with the Macs soon. I find the output from my PS3 so soothing.
EDIT: Back down to 4. Anyone have any insight about what is going on?

as an android user, i like iOS notifications a lot better
As an Android and iOS user, I'm asking you to please put the crack pipe down. While I preferred WebOS notifications over both, Android notification implementation is head and shoulders above iOS. Don't get me wrong though. I love the sms popup box in Handcent on Android, but I can also respond instantly to the text within the box, never having to go into the app. I can also swipe through multiple messages from multiple people within that popup box, responding to each. iOS notifications simply serve to bring to a halt whatever you are doing, then forces you to locate and open various different apps to tend to those notifications.

I think Apple's policy allows for users to opt-in to sharing their personal data.
And that's the point FT has a problem with.
They want that data so they can sell it to marketers and artificially inflate their profits.
Also this made me laugh:
The report notes that the Financial Times has already developed a relatively successful paywall model for its online content, with the newspaper bringing in about 40% of its revenue through digital sales.
They're bringing in 40% of their revenue through digital sales because people already abandoned their paper distribution in droves, just like every other publication. People just go to Google News and get access to thousands of different articles on the same topic that are all free.
FT needs that user data to sell to advertisers because without it they hemorrhage money due to their poor business model.

Thanks for the donations by all who are eligible. I normally give every 8 weeks but am currently ineligible due to recent travels.
The rules on eligibility are pretty clear, dealing with different factors that can seriously raise the risk of infection or illness by the donor, the recipient or both. Everywhere I've donated, the questionnaire has been written as "have you done such-and-so" rather than passing judgment about one's life.
This probably isn't the right forum to debate the various factors and risks. Probably better suited for a medical research forum.
I disagree. I think this is a perfectly good place to discuss the matter.
No matter of public health policy is exists in a void. All public health concerns have a social component.
This policy will change over time, as a result of changing social mores, changing demographics and better detection technology. Even if this policy is not now discriminatory, for the latter two reasons, it will become very discriminatory. The timing and threshold for any given country or area will be different but as that line is crossed, there should be a group of people pointing out that a policy such as this is unfair and prejudicial. Not everyone will agree as that time comes, but things don't change because everyone kept quiet.
I don't think that threshold has been crossed in the US and the calls for lifting the restrictions are premature.

HTC Thunderbolt outsold the iPhone 4 on Verizon.
Not even close. The 4 sold 2.2 million on Verizon; the Thunderbolt sold maybe 500-700,000. TB sold 130,000/wk. 4 on Verizon sold 366,000/wk.
This whole meme is based on an analyst who called a 150 Verizon stores and asked how the TB was selling vs. the 4. 61% said that they were selling about the same; 28% said that the TB was selling better.
This was a stupid methodology, of course, since it left out factors like how the 4 was selling at Apple stores or online...or at any place other than verizon stores. And the analyst also only polled stores in locations were LTE was available.
