There's plenty of bandwidth available, it has been somewhat spoiled by undesirables downloading pirate movies, music and software, but it's available and with a few changes or dollars could easily work.

Maybe the Tories will sort out the scroungers.

All bow down before Jack Clark the recogniser of innovation and the pointer outer of SN's Faults - you pompous pillock!

Not everyone has to share your warm, fuzzy, wallet opening feelings towards anything Apple that you do. There is choice and there are those who just prefer other brand(s) and have loyalty to those brands.

Enjoy your Apple products, millions do but do not assume that everything is 'all good' and then whinge and harp on about those that do not share you enthusiasm


It could be said Apples greed for market share and corporate greed have overtaken a cautious approach to launching innovative products that are fully tested and bug free (or as close as you can get) which is what differentiated them from most of the other consumer goods companies. I speak as a long time user of apple products for work and home and my first 'desktop' was an Apple IIc which was faultless in operation.



Have a nice day!

Will the TV lose its signal when you hold it in the left hand?

You should change your name to JackClark_Fan you spend so much time typing negative tripe on my threads. As I've said before, if you don't like what I write, don't read it, simple.

No watching Babecast on your iTV, it's not wholesome entertainment therefore Apple wont allow it.

Oh for goodness sake I was only having a bit of a joke with you.

Word of advice - try and not be quite so far up your own a**e and then maybe less people would pick on you.

Then again we both know you crave the attention, maybe I should introduce you to SaraSquares

I do agree with Jack on one point. the current TV paradigm has to change. people want to watch what they want and when they want.

i think the problem will be that apple are too expensive. you end up paying $1.99 for each episode of Lost and 25 later, you've spent $50 on a series you don't necessarily get to keep. that can't work either.

over to you apple.

Hilarious, keep ladling it on, there's no such thing as bad publicity. You're doing a great job.

Your one of the main reasons while i'll never buy an iphone, your so far up yourself its untrue. I'll stick with HTC and Android who IMO have a better phone and operating system with the Desire.

You've changed the subject but anyhow. Android is a free open source operating system that's installed - quite wisely - on many devices. Show me an Android phone that sold more than the iPhone, nothing comes close

At least an Android phone might work, (unlike my iphone 3gs).

Good morning Mr. Jobs,

if you go for trader status on here, you may sell us some of your products at a discount

Regards,

dunx

P.S. Our iMacs at work keep getting stolen... you must be doing something right
