I think what good donating blood does is bigger than your sexual orientation, or mine.
Surely it's not about sexual orientation but actual sexual activity, and whether that places you in the 'high risk' category. Some other commenters have been good enough to reference statistics on this.
Other commenters seem to think they're being victimised here by a bigoted political conspiracy. I confess, I know little about US politics or medicine, but here in Australia I was also required to fill out quite a lengthy form regarding questions of health, travel and sexual activity (both heterosexual and homosexual). Sure, we also have blood screening, but when we're dealing with matters of life and death what's the problem with a preliminary line of defence against contaminated blood?
Again, I would say to those who feel offended… Is it really about your desire to serve your community, or more about your personal pride? Giving blood, or really any kind of community service, should always be about the people you are serving. If you can't give blood, for whatever reason, rather than getting incensed about it, why not direct your charitable desires into other areas of need? There are virtually no limits to the altruistic opportunities for people willing to give of their time and energies, regardless of sexual orientation. Don't be a victim… and don't seek to be a hero. Just go out and make the world a slightly better place in whatever way you can!
I would have died if not for donated blood, so maybe I'm biased, I don't know.
We are fortunate now that blood is well screened. It wasn't always this way.

A person can buy a movie from iTunes and play it on as many iPODS they want (how many does a single household actually have?) or a person can just get netflix, request the movie, rip it, put it on his OR her iPOD, and watch it as many times as he or she wants.
I WOULD NEVER DO THAT, but I know people that would think about it...
:rolleyes:

No surprises here, the majority of people are waiting for the next iPhone.
Too right.
The iPhone 4 is now 10 months old, that's getting a bit long in the tooth in the ever evolving tech world. :)

I am assuming this is a cluster? I seriously doubt that would be enough space for every person to access their iTunes content via the cloud. The only conceivable way is if you were limited to the amount of space (like allocated into your 20GB default mobileme account). That would be weak.The original post doesn't say it will be used for customers to store their own files, only for Apple to store all the video content on the iTunes store. Each video file is only stored once so 12PB is probably more than enough for all the videos they currently have (you'd have to be a pretty lazy data architect not to account for growth in the original plan).
I'm sure they already have a large enough storage system for cloud storage/iDisk, or will be planning to expand or replace one soon.

I would have to agree with the others, if you "allow" it or not is irrelevant, it's not your call anymore.
but if your paying the bills(college ect) then they best listen to you or risk losing out on you help them with $$$
but i would let him, he's 18 (and if she is)

I'm certain TJ MAXX ran this by their legal team...
If they are willing to sell the product at a $100 loss, that's their choice. You may not have a warranty, etc, because they aren't "authorized" by Apple as a price-controlled reseller, but that doesn't mean it's illegal for them to sell it.
I sold my iPad on craigslist at a loss. I'm not authorized to do that and Steve doesn't care.

I hope other vintage game systems come out for iOS. I'd like to see Coleco make a football game (with the red dots) for iphone. The buttons could go on the screen with room for the field above. The head to head version could be played using two iphones over wifi instead of two people grasping it from opposite sides.

still not worth it.
But for those of you that it is worth it (or have money enough to not care), and are clamoring about an iCal feature, Leopard server has some of that stuff in there, so who knows, it may also be in the works.

I think Apple waited too long to bring the iPhone to Verizon. By the time they did many diehard Verizon customers had just bought Android alternatives. I think Apple got a little too sucked in by the exclusive money from AT&T, but in the end it might end up hurting them.
Now Apple is going to have to fight to get those customers in the coming year or two, all the while Android is getting better and better.
I'm an iPhone 4 customer on AT&T, but I'm still able to see the big picture. They should have had the iPhone on Verizon a year earlier.

...Oooooooooh but what about people who travel or backpack for a long trip without a charging opportunity. Maybe they need more charge time? Does anyone listen to headphones while hiking? ...
They do have extra power packs for the various iPods. While they aren't out for the new Shuffle yet, I have little doubt that they will be coming. Also, I wouldn't be too surprised to find that it wasn't too difficult to rig something up on your own, if you're at least a little bit tech savvy.
