And that's a big problem indeed, but I think isn't the biggest problem of the rotten society we are living in.Quote:

This article btw demonstrates the incestuous relationship between a lot of these companies.

Daniel is driving down the street in his Fiat 500 like a BOSS. Suddenly, he stops at a red light and spots a Starbucks on a street corner! Daniel notices that the people inside are wearing flannel shorts even though the weather outside is quite cold and rainy. Daniel chuckles at the notion that anyone would wear such ridiculous clothing at the expense of looking cool, which annoys him. All of them are wearing collared shirts from top designer brands. Daniel imagines that they are conversing about the brutal working conditions of sweatshop laborers in third-world countries, and how they state that they would never buy products from companies that would propagate such deviousness. The irony strikes Daniel with a bit of anger. Finally, what drove Daniel over the edge, is that the people inside this trendy overpriced crappy-coffee establishment are on their MacBooks, iPhones and iPads; they're probably discussing how they're not slaves to a multinational corporation. A cold sweat runs down the back of Daniel's neck. He doesn't feel anything, nothing at all, except rage.
The light turns green. Daniel casually shifts his car into first gear. He slams his foot on the accelerator and aims directly for the green glass-stained windows of this hell hub. His car immediately consumes three patrons as Daniel's little Fiat breaks through the glass. Daniel laughs and yells, "Take that hipsters!" Daniel is just getting started.
A Windows powered laptop is sitting on the passenger side seat. Daniel picks it up and storms out of his car. He begins to beat the customers inside with his Windows machine, but none of these "hipsters" are capable of fighting back after years of believing that their Mac apparatuses can handle every conceivable task. The blood begins to accumulate on the floor. Daniel feels a surge of adrenaline pulsate through his body as he sees a wounded hipster try and escape from underneath his beloved 500. Daniel asks, "Any last words?" The wounded man pleads, "Please...I...I have a wife, kids, and loving fam..." Daniel bashes his head with his Windows powered laptop. The man dies and Daniel lets out a roar of laughter.
Finally, the carnage is laid out all over the Starbucks lobby and Daniel decides to spare the workers. Daniel hops back into his car, puts the car in reverse, and decides to go home.
Awesome :D
Well I am about to get my Streak replaced shortly and will rejoin the masses with a smartphone :D
I'd never really looked at tablets previously, but after missing a bus home earlier in the week I found myself in Curries and was having a look at the tablets in there. I was really going to try and get a look at the Galaxy Tab but no shops seem to have them in. But anyway I picked up an iPad 2 and after having a wee play with it I thought it was actually pretty good, and if I had money and had gone in to buy one, I would probably have walked out with it! Sorry Daniel!! :) Will have to see how the prices of the Samsung go over the next couple of months and maybe splash out on one for my christmas..............
I can believe that Henners. :) A friend of mine had a 2 year old 3GS that had a battery that was overheating and used 15% of it's power to send one text message so she rang me up two weeks ago asking when the new iPhone (if indeed there is one) is coming out and how much hers would be to get fixed as it was so old. I told her to take it to the Apple shop and see what they say. She walked out with a brand new 3GS for £55. Not a bad exchange for her 2 year old phone I thought. If indeed a new one comes out she would most likely be able to get more than £55 back from a mobile phone purchase website like Mazuma.T
A friend of mine also managed to get Apple customer service to replace his 3 year old MacBook for a MacBook Pro for free by reading from a script he'd found on an internet forum while doing some research on the cracked case his MacBook was suffering from. Apple took his creditcard details and said they would charge him for the MacBook Pro if he didn't send his MacBook with the cracked case back to them. Obviously he FedExed later that day. It was worth the extra postage for getting the MacBook Pro for free.
