What is worse than finding a worm in your Apple? (Half a worm!)

I merely assumed that you had more than a bad cold. :-)
Now if you had unforeseen cold surgery, I would have been incorrect. (And woefully behind on medical advances, apparently...)

How many warnings in how many places are required before people act more sensibly? Obviously a lot more because everyone would rather blame anyone or anything than take responsibility for their own actions and lives... everybody got rights, nobody got responsibilities!!!

I had a college professor who proclaimed that people should have to get a license to use a computer. I thought "what an elitist a$$hole!" at the time. After helping friends, neighbors etc with their computer problems I'm not sure he was so wrong anymore.

That's why I didn't bother responding. It's always someone else's fault, especially if it's Apple.

Exactly where does possible fraud with iTunes accounts fit into ebooks, e-paper, DRM, or tech related to them? It doesn't.

Nor does "Is Apple betting the farm on the new iPad (iPad3 or iPadHD or ?)?" or "Apple Siri says, what do you want from me, Perfection?".

Why aren't you starting these threads in the Apple folder where they rightly belong?

To do otherwise just makes it look like your real 'mission' isn't to "kick sand" but to draw as much attention to yourself as possible.

This.

How many times do you have to remind people not to drive and use handheld cell phones or to text? Once, twice, a million or a billion times. I am taking responsibility by continuously reminding the people I know or care about to not do this. If I could I would put this message on everyone's alarm clock. Are they responsible if they cause an accident, you bet. Will they blame others, you bet. Will I stop reminding people, no way. If that makes me an elitist in your eyes, too bad.

Apple does both good and bad things. So you can easily say a lot of good things and/or a lot of bad things.

Not sure where you get the idea that I think you're elitist... couldn't be more wrong as sarcasm isn't elitist at all... and you're comment simply reinforces what I said except you claim to be responsible - congratulations...

Nothing personal here, David. I just picked out your post as representative of all the viewpoints similar to yours.

1. My posts are related to News that is in the Major Media about "eBooks, e-paper, DRM and related technologies" and yes I realize that is exactly opposite what you said above, but frankly I disagree with your interpretations of a lot of things.

2. Because of (1.) I am not posting in the Apple section.

3. My real mission is to comment and express an opinion, and I don't relish the unpleasant attention I get from some people, but hey, it is a "tough mission" and if there is a little "flak," well then I am a big boy.

"LOL Apple sux!" is trolling. Raising awareness that Apple has flaws is not. There honestly are people (not on this forum, I hope) who bristle at even the suggestion that Apple makes mistakes. Every Android tablet user has run across this. The "Dude, get a real tablet/phone" remarks usually uttered by people who are utterly ignorant about any other options gets annoying fast. And yes, the Google fanboys can be just as annoying but in general, are more knowledgeable and tech-savvy. Doesn't make them better human beings, just better informed human beings.
Do your research, buy whatever you want, and accept that nobody offers the perfect solution for everybody. Hopefully we can have civilized discussions about technology, without name-calling and other silliness.
