Not that they're more intuitive to use, have a higher quality app ecosystem, and "just work" for most people.

Can we use distributed computing to crowdsource the computation of more/better primes? Can OpenSSL look to this pool for its primes?

Sending SMSs from Address Book was a phenomenal feature. A shame that they yanked it years ago. Good to see its return.

I think 8:30am is a bit late to send the news. I think a lot of people who work "traditional" hours are already up, out the door, and have made a dent in their day. I like to read the news before I get started.

I decided to build a career in academia after working as a technician for a college that afforded me the freedom to experiment with approaches to my work. Now I am an IT manager at a small state University. My boss allows me the latitude to approach projects with creative perspectives. This fall I also plan to begin teaching, and I am continuing my work towards a Master's degree. Lastly, I find the structure of academia to be such that my off time is clearly defined (at least in comparison to working for a company in private industry), and I am able to also pursue entrepreneurial ventures.

I wonder how many of those innovations at the time AT&T was involved in bringing to market.

Also interesting to see the analog nature of things prevalent in the ads-- how the images flicker into place on the screens.

No one in the launch group was able to see what others were charging until today. Now I'm booked.

Not whining, just giving a perspective.

Agreed. Imagine if you could have other providers snap into this? It's a shame that they're hacking their way around Apple's walled garden, but a self hosted proxy server is a nifty way to add functionality to email.

Thanks for the suggestion, essentially put it in front of something they really want/need. They need to go past the announcement to get it.
