Do you know why truth about iPhone is not welcomed?

Do you know why truth about iPhone is not welcomed?

"Apparently, 12 percent or so of iPhone users just can?t get the hang of the device, calling it ?tricky?, and soon after returning it."

"And surprisingly Apple has been dead silent about anything regarding the iPhone... Some of those I've spoken with are going to return them and wait for the next version. The biggest issue they (and I) have is the slow connectivity with AT&T's EDGE network. It's slower than using a BlackBerry on the same network, Why? Because Apple's email and Websites are fully rendered which is good. But you can wait five minutes for some emails to open."

1. The iPhone is subject to repeated crashes. When an iPhone crashes the application closes, the screen goes black, and then returns to the home screen. It happens using Safari, Google maps, and when using the iPod.
2. The Bluetooth only works with headsets and cannot be used to transfer photos or files to your computer. Verizon was roundly criticized for doing the same and Apple/AT&T should not get a free pass.
3. There?s no cut and paste capability. That means there?s no way to take text from an email and paste it into the calendar or elsewhere.
4. There?s no To Do list, one of the basic applications of PDAs. Even the Newton had that!
5. There?s no way to use third-party applications. That?s a huge limitation and is really a must for long term success.
6. The typing auto-correction is hit or miss as if the built-in dictionary is incomplete. Some proper nouns are capitalized, some are not. Some words are auto-completed while others are not.
7. There?s no way to delete more than one email at a time, even those emails in the trash file.
8. There?s no way to edit email attachments or to add attachments to emails.

Where is so called capitalism where the law is satisfaction of the market demand?
Corporations do not care about what people need - they force people to buy what they want. In my opinion this is not even the Soviet Union - it's worse - slavery, where instead of shackles, handcuff s, ... they enslave people's mind.


"To repress rebellion is to maintain the status quo, a condition which binds the mortal creature in a state of intellectual or physical slavery. But it is impossible to chain man merely by slaving his body: the mind must also be held, and to accomplish this, fear is the accepted weapon. The common man must fear life, fear death, fear God, fear the Devil, and fear most the overlords, the keepers of his destiny."
--Manly P. Hall (an occultist and 33rd degree mason)

"Not only were many of the founders of the United States government Masons, but they received aid from a secret and august body existing in Europe which helped them to establish this country for A PECULIAR AND PARTICULAR PURPOSE known only to the initiated few. (an occultist and 33rd degree mason), The Secret Teachings of All Ages, pp. XC and XCI


"We form an association of brothers in all points of the globe... Yet there is one that is unseen that can hardly be felt, yet it weighs on us. Whence comes it? Where is it? No one knows, or at least no one tells. This association is secret to even us, the veterans of the Secret Societies."
-- Giuseppe Mazzini (June 22, 1805 ? March 10, 1872), head of the Bavarian Illuminati


"A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves."
- Edward R. Murrow
