"This is a Republican vote-for-me speech..." Now we have politics being brought in where it does NOT belong. Fan-freaking-tastic.

Although my Apple products are currently jailbroken, I have to confess that the advantages that are offered with iOS 4.2 on the iPad are going to cause me to no longer care whether the iPad is jailbroken.

The main reasons I jailbreak the iPhone is to be sure I can add the Internet connectivity to any Windows notebooks in an emergency, and to add firewalls to the call service (iBlacklist and MCleaner).

I have a 64 GB iPhone 3G, and there aren't enough jailbreaking advantages to the iPad to keep me off of iOS 4.2! :-)

I'll snap it up as soon as it's available.

Although I understand your point of view, I have the opposite point of view.

I am associated with one of the largest commercial Web sites in the world, and I firmly believe that Flash is simply evil and it has to die. At least twice per month somebody manages to insert some Flash content either by inserting into a post, or via one of the advertising opportunities, that causes a huge ruction for hundreds or even thousands of people and the owners of the site are largely incompetent and inefficient when it comes to tracing the problem and dealing with it.

The gut reaction is going to say that they are idiots. This might very well be the case, but they're not idiots about sites and Flash, and this very big company with quite a few very large Web sites has a problem tracking what goes wrong with Flash and trying to keep people from inserting the kinds of Flash that causes problems.

At some point in the near future, there will be a way (an admittedly processor intensive way) to convert your Flash to another format.

Nope. I've stopped trying to organize my icons, figuring November is mostly over. I think we assumed the wrong November.
