Yes, whoever controls iOS has that much power. Same for Android and probably others.

In a related story, the US Marshals and Microsoft have discovered evidence to prove that Apple is actually nothing more than a sophisticated Botnet that has pioneered the use of proprietary hardware components into the net.

So far the Apple botnet seems to have only been used to push spam apps and emotions of unjustified superiority on its victims. Officials are unsure if any more nefarious plans are in store for the botnet's victims.

So I heard there are something like one million zombies out there now just waiting for a new leader...

 

[someguynamedmatt]

Alright. Lock and load, Microsoft... time to do something about it.

...now if only they could get rid of all those Nigerian princes who need my bank account to break out of the country. Man, quality control down there must suck with so many of them... 😀

I don't get much spam...I'd almost forgetten it existed. Email filters should have come a long ways.

I'll correct your grammar mistakes for you in your stone throwing sentence.

Wow. (one period) How about some spelling (ing) and grammar checking? (a question) I think I'm done with Toms. (period, end of statement) T(cap)he quality has slipped to an all new low.

Use Chrome or Firefox, fix't.
I would have just given you thumbs down but they don't work. People who use IE and complain that stuff on the internet doesn't succeed on their fail browser is very 2007. Get with the times.

Another kudos to Microsoft. Good thing they're actively tackling this issue.

Sometimes don't work in any browser - from time to time I have to copy paste from chrome to ie or vise versa to post at all. But being unable to log in from a mobile device and the 'desktop version' not working is even more annoying than their piece of beep cms

The difference is, he is not a paid journalist. He also has every right to question poor grammar.

And paid journalists aren't paid proof readers. They're paid to inform you, which they do if you focus on their content, rather than how they try to communicate it to you.

i wonder why they don't have a proof reader though >_< english majors usually have a hard time finding employment, i bet they could find one cheap!

So by your logic it would be acceptable to read a major broadsheet newspaper like the times or the telegraph riddled with grammatical errors because the journalist is not expected to use correct spelling only report? How about a news reader on the BBC or a journalist in the field reporting live using slang?

Give me a break.
