    The image of Einstein in question is copyrighted. Therefore it is a copyright issue.

    I think she was > 18 at the time of the photos. Wikipedia tells me she's 21 now.

    I usually agree, but..

    Why? It's still free to me to use. There's no reason not to use it until the loophole is closed.

    It's more of a stance issue than a legal issue, I'd say. You say you want the problem to be fixed, yet you still utilize the problem. Just my take on it.

    That sounds perfect, actually. I'm glad you agree with due process.

    Without highly technical people who find popular technology limiting, where would innovation be? It's good to have people find technology limiting and desire something more. It helps people become aware of other possibilities, generates curiosity to explore these possibilities, and consequently drives people to make these possibilities easier to become reality.

    So, you're ranting and raving about people bitching about how the iPhone lacks functionality. This bitching can lead to more innovation. What's the point of this article?

    I'm sure all the die hard Apple fans must have some sort of wacky ass defense for this. I wonder how Apple gets so many people to love them so much... especially since they seem to be trying to destroy the open cell phone market by claiming that open phones support terrorism.

    Not being able to comprehend the benefits of an open system is why Rob D. ultimately loves his useless little iPhone. He can't help but think that since the only innovative feature on the iPhone, the touch screen, is augmented with a sleek look, he has the best piece of hardware money can buy. Unfortunately for him, and many iPhone users, aesthetics have never been correlated with functionality or utility.

    I wouldn't expect him, or any other die-hard company supporter, to ever see through gilded corporate masterpieces.
