Apple's AT&T Deal: Setting the Record Straight

I'm not sure I follow your comment that the subsidy won't drop with multiple carriers. Isn't it worth more to have a monopoly on a product that being one of several carriers?

Google's Android vs. Apple: History Repeats Itself

You might want to correct your own history. DOS was not an IBM product. You are correct that Bill Gates bought it, but not from IBM.

From Wikipedia:
"IBM again approached Bill Gates. Gates in turn approached Seattle Computer Products. There, programmer Tim Paterson had developed a variant of CP/M-80, intended as an internal product for testing SCP's new 16-bit Intel 8086 CPU card for the S-100 bus. The system was initially named "QDOS" (Quick and Dirty Operating System), before being made commercially available as 86-DOS. Microsoft purchased 86-DOS, allegedly for $50,000. This became Microsoft Disk Operating System, MS-DOS, introduced in 1981"

I do have to agree with his point though. Why would anyone carry a competitors product for free, or be expected to? It would be like Apple allowing Google Voice on the iphone.

Ah, the Apple fannies must justify overpaying for computers, no matter what the cost.

Apple Seems Desperate to Enter Chinese Handset Market

Before becoming too hysterical about the Chinese market, remember that it is under Government control. I suspect strange and inexplicable roadblocks will prevent iphone from breaking China Mobile's grip on the market before a Chinese copy appears.

Quitting the iPhone, Moving on to Google Voice

Congratulations for giving up the Apple koolaid and becoming an adult.

FCC Takes On Apple and AT&T over Google Voice Rejection

I thinbk Apple may be losing the moral high ground; first trying to shut out Palm, now trying to stop Google. Anyone at Apple remember what happened to Microsoft after they played hard ball?

Google Chokes on Apple, Loses Its Voice

Time for Google to run a Superbowl ad showing Apple fans following Steve Jobs over the cliff?

Well actually I think most would prefer a good cheap one.
