I don't really care one way or another, but I what I really do find funny is how the fanboys will come to Jobs' defense, regardless. It's not really about products or software any longer. It has become and identity, a religion, and a thought process. Basically, a cult. I'm sure if Jobs strangled and dismembered a child on live national TV they'd be claiming that the kid hadn't fully read his EULA, and therefore, had agreed to the dismemberment.
 
If you think that's freaky, what about his fascination with WWII German tanks? Oh, right, it was just a bunch of cats! Or what about that bitten apple logo? Oh, right, that just nerd humor (bit/byte). Reminds me of Sardonic Sarkozy telling Obama that, "Yes, YOU can!" ;-)
 
Yeah no it's not metal engineers, it's a blacksmith with experience of black magic. ok I will dig my grandma files maybe I can recover dracula's researched papers.
 
Spa is a sort of weekly tabloid like US, but this has also been reported on mainstream television news shows in Japan.
 
[citation][nom]humanze[/nom]@soulfringe "The law is the freaking law"yeah like the law against spiting on sidewalks or parking your donkey on the road , some laws are retarded and common sense should prevail . reminds me of zero tolerance and 2nd graders getting suspended from school for a toy army man or a aspirin or some other stupid reason.[/citation]

Common sense is only locally relevant. Your sense of understanding other people is to judge based on your own Point of view. It would be much more beneficial if you tried to look through other people's eyes.

In many Asian countries spitting on the ground is very rude and unpleasant. And countries like Japan,etc make these laws because a large portion of tourists do not respect the local culture.

cheers

 
For the first time in my life I will side with Steve Jobs... Another case of airport security personnel being a douche bag. Here they should fire every single TSA personnel and allow concealed carry.

WTF are you talking about... In China everybody spits everywhere, those laws are for the LOCALS. Thank you for sharing your ignorance.
 
[citation][nom]beayn[/nom]Who is to say a terrorist couldn't bring those aboard his own private jet, hijack it and crash it into a building?[/citation]

Cause getting a black market Stinger is probably less expensive?

With that kind of thinking one could also argue that a mandatory TSA cavity search would stop Russia from sending Bears over our territory?

Who is to say terrorists couldn't hijack a plane, kill everyone on it, make it fly unmanned, call their families from their cellphones, crash it into a building, set off explosives to make it fall, get bearded Mexican actors with turbans & AK47 to talk trash, & live in denial for the rest of their lives?
 
Maybe someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I thought that private jets as well as public all go through the same system at the airport. Meaning that even though he has got his own private jet there are still customs and accessing the same part of the airport as anyone else the solution that has been implemented in airports is to keep items from getting through at all so some jerk with a private jet doesnt give weapons to a whole lot of terrorists. If he had his own airstrip or somthing im guessing it wouldent be a problem. But using the same airport as the rest of us he should be held to the same rules. Not that this story is anything but BS anyways. The way rumors spread I could easily see it being one person then another getting blamed for it.

And the almost cult like bashing he recieves from PC Enthusiasts? Yeah, exactly. People defend what they like and who they like. And attack what they don't. That's pretty natural. However, if you make valid points in your opinion, maybe it would hold value.

On topic however, if he did actually try this.. so what. Its his plane, and there are no real security risks to worry about. If he was gonna try to go iTerrorist circa 9-11, it would only make sense for him to pilot the thing himself, and hell, get a large plane like Travolta, instead of a smaller private jet. More fuel, more size, more damage. But no, he isn't, its his property, and nobody other than the mindless zombies that work at TSA care. It's just another example of Zero Tolerance-Class policies and the ignorance than bred them.

But as everyone knows, Steve Jobs wouldn't do that because it would end his plan of world domination. iEarth will exist, just you wait ;D
