    Record 7 Million iOS 6 iPhone, iPads Jailbroken in 4 Days

    7 million represents 1.4% of the half a billion iOS devices out there. I think some people need to check their perspective before they get excited about these things and start making sweeping statements about this indicating anything whatsoever.

    Instapaper Founder Says iOS 5 Deletes App Data

    What a ridiculous thing to whine about. Instapaper man must be new to writing software for a modern OS. It's a total duh! Nobody should be using tmp and cache folders for anything which isn't disposable. They need to make their minds up what's important and what's not.

    Apple's Siri is the Birth of Star Trek's Computer

    Cringe. Somebody had to be the geek that said it. The sad thing is, there are kids now that won't have seen Star Trek TNG, etc. So they'll think you're old for writing this article.

    How Do 400 Million Windows 7 Licenses Compare Against Windows XP and Vista Histo

    The guy who talked about a Windows 7 activation count being closer to the truth was bang on.

    Android More Popular than iOS, and Symbian

    Ha ha. This article needs updated. Turns out it's a crock of sh!t. They counted dump rip-off clones in China. Lol. Cheating ba5tards. All the debate for nothing.

    Malware Could Have Played Part in Plane Crash

    This sounds like media hype nonsense. The aircraft does not rely on an external computer to sound an alarm when the flaps and slats are retracted prior to take off. It has an in-cockpit alarm for that. If it doesn't sound it's because it was either faulty or the pilot disengaged the fuse for it...

    Class Action Suit Over iPhone 4 Reception Issues

    I have the Nokia E71 and I am unable to reproduce the problem. I'm running this year's v4 firmware. No loss of 3G signal no matter how much I cover the back and sides with my palm.
