The convenience of propaganda - PC World Fills Web Space

Fake Jobs Health News and Stocks

Nokia Iphone killer not available or testable but is already big competition.

PC World and its various sister Microsoft kiss ass publications, just hate Apple.

Only thing I can figure - as i read the latest piece of tripe about what this thing has that the Iphone does not.

So you can make a list and compare specifications on a not available device.

Bravo PC World.

This is the reason i dumped TechMeme - it was getting to biased against Non-Arrington concepts. Its not that i love Apple or Unix, its that I need real world applicable information, not skewed to one side or the other.

ohhh macbook air hacked in 24hours and 2 minutes

By a high end security expert.

Macbook Air hacked in contest

the team was able to gain control of a MacBook Air on the second day of the hacking competition, which pitted the Air against Windows Vista and Ubuntu machines.
No one was able to execute code on any of the systems on Wednesday, the first day of the contest, when hacks were limited to over-the-network techniques on the operating systems themselves. But on the second day, the rules changed..

Tell me some news please

Even when they get the headline somewhat right they put the important points are at the bottom
MacBook Air Hacked -- But It Was the Browser's Fault
By Jennifer LeClaire

Indeed, Miller's hack into a MacBook Air could have just as easily have been a PC running Windows and Safari. Just this week, Argentinian hacker Juan Pablo Lopez Yacubian discovered two critical flaws in Apple's Safari 3.1 browser for Windows.

Democrats Suck too

Established politicians do NOT have to be republican to be in the pockets of big business.


Democrats: Colleges must police copyright, or else

The U.S. House of Representatives bill (PDF), which was introduced late Friday by top Democratic politicians, could give the movie and music industries a new revenue stream by pressuring schools into signing up for monthly subscription services such as Ruckus and Napster.

NBC CEO Zucker - Copyright Abuse a Health Danger

For someone who JUST runs an entertainment company as NBC has had little real news for years....Jeff Zucker WANTS a lot of things

He wants alleged intellectual property violations to take center stage at all levels of government, from the White House

He wants advertisers and credit card companies to stop providing "financial support" to Web sites

And he wants Internet service providers, university network operators, user-generated content sites, search engines, auction Web sites and even consumer electronics and home networking device manufacturers to install filtering technologies designed to detect and block unauthorized copyright content.

He wants to be god of all content just with his angry words.

Copyright holders are "losing the battle" against piracy, at the expense of economic security and public health, and will never prevail unless a wide swath of governments and industries gets proactive, NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker said Wednesday.

The economic security of his own poor business model not working more like it.

When has public health mattered too NBC and Universal???

Not when our soldiers have problems readjusting to life with out killing and the news is about recently unearthed video of a year dead former princess of england.

Not when 1,000s of people became homeless from Katrina yet the news was about Bushs quick action and Brownies good job.

Not when his shows on tv are free now but should cost twice what every one else is charging to review them yourself.

Again like any good Cnet or News.com -NEWS Story- any real information is in the last 2 paragraphs , and giving a copy of Zuckers press release as if its an interview.

IPhone Price what if

LOL, The idea to give the Iphone its own category was all Apple and Jobs doing and has nothing to do with the backward way ATT and the other carriers look at phones.
Right

Maybe even Jobs could not convince them that Ipod AV was the missing piece in the mobile market. The carriers wanted there own - product - and to get on that part of the spectrum Jobs gave it to them.

Price
Lets go this route - the price point of an iphone was less then the high end fashion phones and mini pcs

If the product line is being expanded each product in the line equates to a base and a price point, The current apple home page shows what the ipod media player family looks like.

Why didnt apple wait until September and release the Iphone with the rest of the line at its current price?
ATT and the other carriers that must have snubbed apple before Cinguilar are all about controlling the airwaves, they want ownership of wireless spectrum so they can charge you to use it. To get a phone carrier deal Apple needed to give a carrier THE CARRIERS idea of what a smart phone was, which is not what apples idea of a mobile media device is.

ATT - Cell Phone communications are the future of the universe
Apple - Wireless is Wireless

Seems the exact oppisite of each other so, The Iphone and to some extent the non-abilities of the Ipod Touch are a compromise between what Apple wanted and what A phone carrier wanted.


The Original price was what apple thought the market would hold for a world wide premiere of a great technology - and if sales went well increased long term profits. The introduction Big dollar price of the Iphone and its new price have NOTHING to do with poor expected sales or bad judgment on Apples part, Its just the cost of a IPOD TOUCH with a phone added.
DOH

Apple Haters or Poor Reporting and Editing

Money and CNN misread Apple and miss quote analysts

The headline is
UPDATE: Apple IPhone Price Cut Shows Rare Misstep

SO 5 Graphs down they have jobs say- "We're going to get even more aggressive," Jobs said during a company event on Wednesday in San Francisco. "We're going to get even more aggressive. The customer satisfaction is off the charts."

8 Graphs down - "You have to speculate that even though Steve said it would sell 1 million units at the end of the month, it's not as fast as he would like," said Van Baker, an analyst at research firm Gartner Inc. "I'm not surprised by the price cut, but I'm surprised by the magnitude."

11 graphs down is the money quote burried near the end - "Investors think something is wrong with demand, but we felt even before the price cut that Apple was going to make or even exceed its targets," said Gene Munster, an analyst at Piper Jaffray. "In the short term, it will cost them some profits, but there's an even better tradeoff."

But the graph ends there not explaining the better trade off - I say both apple haters AND Poor reporting-editing.

Cnet luvs microsoft

Luv is Blind - this is stupid.

so a Gigabeat S with 60gig gets a rating of 7 from cnet uk , the new zune ( read microsoft repackaged version of the tosiba Gigabeat ) with 30 gig gets an 8 rating.

HUH???? Talk about Kool-aid drinkers

So poor marketplace integration - drm wrapped wi-fi files, only 30 gig and a 79 points equals 99 cents sales pitch is so worth adding that extra point.
