They make not tinker with it too much, though they did try to take it a bit down market in its last revision. They may just stick to the four door sedans, since they tend to be the biggest sellers. The ironic part is that people laughed when VW tried to move upscale in the 90s, more into the luxury market. Now people are giving them flak for trying to make their stuff more affordable.
Back in the 90s, auto magazines in the US criticized the Jetta for being too small (similar criticisms were leveled at the underrated Mondeo sold here as the Contour). I always like the in-between size of the Jetta, but apparently most Americans prefer larger cars.
I would like to think I'm wrong, but most Americans seem to correlate size and quality, i.e. bigger cars are better. People can't understand why anyone would buy a smaller car when a bigger one could be had at the same price.

I wonder how many of these posts are trolls? I haven't had any issues whatsoever with 4.3.1. I also didn't have any problems with 4.3; battery life has been absolutely stellar and call performance actually improved in 4.3.1.
The timing of all these "bitching" posts just seems suspicious.

Well, actual road map data and satellite data is all provided by the governments. Street view I'm guessing is Googles only. But it would be nice to see a major improvement on maps and roads. Something seems to be missing and if anyone can take it to the next level, it's Apple. Glad to see something in the works.
Notifications... sure, it would be nice to see better, but that's probably coming in iOS 5.0 anyways. Hopefully the first version of iMaps too.
Actually, no its not all provided by 'the governments' . There are non-goverment owned sats that do it as well. There are several, but IKONOS, comes to mind at the moment. This is nothing new, its been this way for over a decade
BTW, Apple could easily buy their own or purchase large blocks of time from one the imaging co's.

Microsoft is rock solid?
Let's see, as a 15 year IT worker who has supported many MS environments, I have been yanked out of bed at 2am 3 times because "new" viruses that the Anti-Virus software didn't even know about, had brought down hundreds of machines on the network, and had even brought down routers and switches.
I think the $100,000 we might spend on IPS/IDS blades for all the core switches to analyze the traffic coming from Windows machines might be better spent if we just put Macs in the network and maybe stick a free Snort box in there as an after thought.
Companies spend millions just keeping their Windows machines in line -thank about it. MS has never been serious about security.
+1 At least you were yanked of bed for legit reasons and not exchange servers going down for no reason...I should say no hardware reason....MS couldn't even figure out the issue :/ Thankfully I don't work there anymore so someone else gets to have the fun :P
As for MS not being serious about security I completely agree. The mere fact that a malware can make its files invisible to the whole OS including command prompt enrages me, especially when I plug the infected drive into a linux or mac machine and can manually see and delete said file.

I still use a Verizon dumbphone. I see no real reason to switch to iphone, simply because I have little interest in the device (plus, I can't afford a data plan right now, which is required when you buy a Verizon smartphone)

i agree with many of the sentiments here, and this is why i think its wrong to assume that the white iphone 4 needs "breathing room" before the next generation (which by all accounts isn't going to be an aesthetic change anyway, just a processor bump).
its partly apple's own fault for having created almost a "tradition" of summer iphone releases, that are so heavy promoted in the media that everyone starts expecting them, even those who don't read these sites or know what a wwdc even is.
i'm not saying that it won't in fact be a fall release, and apple probably was hoping these interim releases would energize sales in the meantime. if anything though, they're just mitigating an already trickling demand.
now for my personal rant: i was foolish and bought a iphone 3g 2 months before the iphone 3gs was announced. add to that the fact that all the carriers in canada lock you into outrageous 3 year contracts, and i'm left with hardware that struggles with/can't run the current OS and is going to feel even more comparatively crippled as ios5 and other smartphone os's evolve. (feature lust aside, the basic functions of the phone become tortoise slow with the newer os's, and carriers require you to upgrade to the newest software available for your phone if you want any support from them) and there's nothing i can do about all that. canada may be a uniquely ****** market with these ultra-long contracts, but you can sure as ***** bet i'm never again going to buy the year old tech. it may seem "good enough" at the time, but you have to think ahead to how they'll bog down the OS over the next 3 years.

How do you define a criminal act?
Criminal: a person who has committed a crime
Crime: an action or omission that constitutes an offense that may be prosecuted by the state and is punishable by law; illegal activities
1. Are the terrorists captured during firefights with US soldiers criminals or soldiers, and why?
2. If North Korea launched a missile against the USA tomorrow, is that a criminal act or an act of war, and why?
3. If Al Qaeda launched a missile against the USA tomorrow, is that a criminal act or an act of war, and why?
4. When the USA dropped nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in WW2, was that a criminal act or an act of war, and why?
5. When the Allied forces raised Dresden to the ground in WW2, was that a criminal act or an act of war, and why?
I don't really see your point here. But...
1. Saying a terrorist is a criminal or a soldiers is quite irrelevant. A terrorist in the USA who is trying to explode a bomb is a criminal. Also, being a soldier doesn't means you can't be a criminal.
2. Again, an act of war can be at the same time a criminal act. Suppose country X and Y are both countries in Europe, and X attacks Y because they felt like doing it, that is an act of war AND a criminal act. If Y attacks back, that is also an act of war, but not a criminal act, because they are defending themselves.
3. Same as #2. The only thing that could change is your perception of an "act of war". Is it only considered act of war when it happens between two countries? Or a group not related to any government attacking a country is also an act of war?
4. It depends. Was the USA defending themselves, or were they just doing it without any reason behind? This is a completely new topic, but if it helps for anything, Japan was the one who attacked first, without any real reason behind.
5. Same as #4.
If you justify torture to prevent death of innocent people, where do you draw the line? 1,000 people, 100 people, 1 person?
If it were up to me, one person would be enough. The line is not in the amount of people being saved, but in the fact that the person (criminal) who is behind this attack plans, has become a treat to the security of your people.
What if the person you are torturing is innocent?
I did said that I wouldn't support torturing innocent people.
What if your torture helps the terrorists recruit more terrorists and the result is more, not less, bloodshed?
What if not doing so (torture) means that the terrorist group achieves their objective, and continue doing the same again and again?
So lets do medical testing on criminals, thats ok right?
No, because what the criminals did has nothing to do with medical diseases. In the other hand, they did made something against the law in formulating or being part of a terrorist plan, of which they have knowledge. And that knowledge might lead you to prevent this terrorist act to be executed.

no worries fella, thanks for the link. I've actually found it with red pants so have stuck that on.
Will have a nose for the cart one though.

Wow... that whole site is down. Too much traffic, or has Apple's top secret FBI assasin group struck again. One things for sure... don't "F" with those boys and their secrets.
And to the Safari-haters, show some love. Safari might be a little short on features if you're used to Fox or Omni, but at the end of the day it's still the most elegant and simple browser out there, and it does have its strengths. It's RSS reader was pretty groundbreaking, and still is one of the best, it's one of the few browsers that actually handles fonts and anti-aliasing properly, and it renders CSS layouts very cleanly and without bugs for the most part. So don't hate so much. It's only going to get better every time.
Safari's CSS is pretty good, but DOM support is lagging, in my opinion. I use Camino for general web browsing and Firefox with Firebug and other extensions for development. Maybe if Firefox 2 runs faster and leaks and uses less memory I'll use it for everything.
IE7's RSS aggregator looks like it might shape out to be among the best.

Before Lee's undies self-contort into yet another sheepshank, why don't we go to the sources rather than a secondhand blog?
The NYT covered the story (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/09/us/09assault.html?_r=1) (sorry, couldn't find the original).
The part of the article relevant to the topic at hand:
Residents in the neighborhood where the abandoned trailer stands � known as the Quarters � said the victim had been visiting various friends there for months. They said she dressed older than her age, wearing makeup and fashions more appropriate to a woman in her 20s. She would hang out with teenage boys at a playground, some said.
�Where was her mother? What was her mother thinking?� said Ms. Harrison, one of a handful of neighbors who would speak on the record. �How can you have an 11-year-old child missing down in the Quarters?�
Note that this is most likely from where the representative from Florida got her information and was paraphrasing, albeit with poor word choice.
Now then, a follow up from the NYT public editor (http://publiceditor.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/11/gang-rape-story-lacked-balance/):
The Times, responding to a wave of complaints, issued a statement Wednesday saying, �Nothing in our story was in any way intended to imply that the victim was to blame. Neighbors� comments about the girl, which we reported in the story, seemed to reflect concern about what they saw as a lack of supervision that may have left her at risk.�
Of course, this begs the question of why a publication as liberal as the NYT would want to break with a generation or more of tradition and even hint at the insinuation that the victim was to blame?
For that, we have to go to the UK's Daily Mail (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1365112/Horrific-gang-rape-18-men-girl-11-Texas-sparks-racial-tension.html)
I guess the Times was stuck between blaming the victim and having another Jena 6 story on their hands.
