    Yeah, the app store and the iPhone are not perfect, but Apple will hopefully iron out the HUGE creases soon. I do find it frustrating as well, being the Apple Fan boy of FRCF, I just have to assume that Apple has some reason. Trust me, the Apple fan/fan boy community is not happy as well.

    I'll bet you plenty of these censored people will just go ahead and say they got cock blocked, I mean it's an Ex-application after all. It is no more, it's not going to be on any IPod ever, it's ceased to be, it's canceled. It is the Toonami of IPhone applications...oh, too soon?

    The same way Nintendo has ironed out the HUGE problem in offering downloadable Games for it's fun machine with only around 400 or so MB to play with?

    It's not a crease. A crease would be simply blocking a good app. A crease is not systematically using your legal department to cover up said crease. What you call that is money grubbing and evil. No one can defend Apple for their stance on the NDAs.

    Defense will be attempted, but will be an utter failure. The easiest way to check if the defense is a fanboy-defense would be to ask "If MS did this, wouldn't you be yelling about it?".

    I learned a lot from Andy Kaufman and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Allow me to explain my comedy genius:

    Action: Make simple bread-related rhyming joke.
    Result: Groans (standard comedy level one)

    Action: Keep running with it, but skip the next obvious joke.
    Result: You all are agitated, yelling "toast" into the air (Kaufman-scale comedy level three)

    Action: Build up on the joke in an obvious and unsubtle way.
    Result: Groans (standard comedy level one, buildup for later)

    Action: "Suddenly" strike upon obscure, strange answer instead of the obvious one above.
    Result: Kaufman-scale comedy level two

    Action: After said buildup, hit you with a perfectly natural, unexpected, un-built-up, witty joke to cap it off out of nowhere.
    Result: Hilarity, standard comedy level three


    Maybe I overthink these things...

    I think you underestimate the complexity of Kaufman's work. It wasn't about just throwing non-sequiters against the cultural tableau to be weird. If you haven't, please watch Man on the Moon.

    I think you underestimate the granularity of my scale. I'd say there are at least twenty levels of his humor. My "level three" joke was merely the "scrolling TV image" gag, which is depicted in the movie.

    Perhaps, I still laughed at that part, good job. :D

    Hmmm, I'm not convinced. This may have been your intention, but it fell way short of any hillarity.

    You "kneaded" two bread jokes?

    Finally catching up with old episodes. Wee for factual errors: The Red Wings are not the oldest club. The Canadiens are. Red Wings were founded 1925. The Habs got their centennial this season.

    Good stuff on the cloud computing.

    Red Wings were founded 1925
    The team was founded in 1911, and underwent a few name changes over the years. They changed their name for the last time to the "Red Wings" in 1926, so the difference is only a few years.
