Your software updates (you meaning a user of the Internet) should not affec=

Is there a way for a COMPUTER and PHONE manufacturer to distribute their so=

The effect has been relatively the same regardless of how many iDevices the=

This was in no way meant to be a lowball remark. But it doesn't take much s=

they don't pay attention to Apple's "iJunk". I assumed (probably mistakenly=

was due to being 'too cool' to keep up with the stuff Apple puts out.
