Next out of the rumor mill... The iWant.
It has no buttons or ports and boy is it shiny and priced just inside the maximum you would pay. Its shiny case constructed of pure Unobtainium polished to a shiny shine. Not only is it shiny it is also smooth and reflective at the same time, yes, finally, you say, true multitasking. And silent, so silent it makes no noise you wouldn't even know it was working. Our new "Silent Alert System"® will not disturb those around you, or even you, as you wonder at the clarity of the picture on the totally reflective screen, a picture so lifelike it is like looking into a mirror, it moves with you as you brush your hair off the Apple logo emblazoned on your forehead.
People will love you and envy you because you have what iWant.

Well I'm sold. Why have I been resiting for so long, I should have known it was futile.

If there were no market advantage in buying CUPs Apple would not have bought it.
AND you are all welcome to worship the Golden Calf
Burn and get Burned? -
has it occurred to you that such considerations are more valuable to many of us than your emotional investment in hardware and software systems
Woah, OUR emotional investment?
We build and tear down our machines and use them for whatever and whenever, we don't cuddle up to them and whisper sweet nothings into their built in microphones. Does the iPoop even have a microphone?. -
Ahh you guys... comparing Apples to proper computers and stuff.
I, for one, will not get sucked in. I must admit, I thought the iPhone looked cool but it just don't seem right. Somehow my Spidey senses tell me to beware.In February 2007, Apple Inc. hired chief developer Michael Sweet and purchased the CUPS source code.
That sucks to me.
People need to print stuff and now Apple© can pull the plug on the likes of HP, Brother, Canon...
Russ, can't you see the problem?. -
I thought the only conflict was between Morgan Freeman's super-dense black male gravitas and the rest of the cast struggling not to be crushed by it's awesome gravitational force.
So, right on the brink of the Chandrasekar_limit eh?

the iPhone? It's one of the best things I've ever bought.
You should obviously shop more... Nice new handbag perhaps?.

Let Bichons be bygones I say.

Pah, trifling age. Back when I were a red green algae we had values, values I tells ya. And we had microbes to deal with, yes suree and don't get me started on global warming, fucked the trilobites.
