Hi All,

I just don't understand why the opposition have not jumped onto this. Tony seems to just say anything to get a political point. Maybe both sides are trying to do the same thing.

Arhh

Election looming therefore:

Keep 'em in the dark and feed 'em bullshit.

Once "mandate" given, bend 'em over and give 'em a jolly rogering.

History always repeats. Nothing new under the sun!

What next?
Mandatory phone wiretapping?
Postal service reading all your mail?
(Wait, this probably already happens)

I hope people start waking up and make sure that governments know we will not stand for this shit.

If this country had a democracy, the government would not be able to prevent public debate, let alone be so blatant about it.

The funny thing about democratically elected representatives is that they are somehow unable to "tell" their electorate whether or not a debate is necessary, for the fear of getting voted out would be far too great.

Mind you, if the "shelved" net filter is anything to go by, I wouldn't be too worried just yet. My main concern that Australia will continue to sleep, and that one day we really will have a Big Brother society.

PS: Who voted for these idiots anyway?

GET FUCKED AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT!!!
GET FUCKED JULIA SATAN GILLARD!!!
GET FUCKED NEW WORLD ORDER!!!

Of course this wont get published because there is NO SUCH THING AS FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN THIS COUNTRY!! FUCK YOU!

Lawrence provided the link to the AppleInsider article, namely:

http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/07/22/users_report_bluetooth_connectivity_quality_issues_with_ios_4.html

...which lists all the user complaints in an "Apple-friendly" publication (the point of the article above).

Posting complaints about each and every article which dares to point out flaws in Apple products runs the risk of the poster being identified as a (possibly paid) Apple shill (or just another brainwashed Jobsian). What is "getting old" is the number of flaws being discovered in a device initially sold as "perfect and revolutionary" by Jobs, who now is apparently denying most of these problems and sending out a $0.50 plastic case to the users he "cares about".

If articles like this can persuade people to not throw their good money away on a flawed device just to line Jobs' pockets, I think these articles are providing a valid service (more valid than uncritical support of defective products, for example).
