The initial iPhone OS, before it was called iOS, shipped without copy and paste or 3G at a time when all mobile operating systems had both copy and paste as well as shipped with 3G on their premium models. The first iPhone certainly qualified as a Premium Device.
Video and streaming media is not at all alone. Think of it as just being a more geek friendly topic as opposed to the patent litigation that passes for innovation for everything from aviation and to exercise equipment.
I get that the overwhelming majority of Hacker News supports Barack Obama and feels the need to be very vocal in their support of him online. I understand that every two to four years their is a lot of online discussion about how evil Republicans are and how they hold us back in every way. I understand that acknowledging this as politics and not as the absolute truth to the way things have to be is very unpopular online, even on this site which is supposed to be relatively free of politics. But why do I always feel left out? I don't want to participate in the months of hate-Hate-HATE to whatever Republican candidate happens to be in the running for office. I personally don't think Romney is all that bad, and I don't think that Obama is all that good. I like technical things, not political things.
First Negative Forum Post - Response Time: 06:00 PM (same day) : "I think this is the worst iOS release to date.
And Steve would've never allowed this."
Due of the Internet archive, these forum posts may well be our greatest legacy.
My advice is to not regret having regrets. It's natural to have regrets so jumping to acceptance is the best method to avoid the self-help dependency cycle that leads to a lot of wasted time and money. At least it works for me.
I have an easy method to see the future. In fact it is so effective it works 100% of the time without fail. I will teach you my method if you read a little further.
This is 100% not true. GPL v1 and v2 are fine and v3 has some questions that most people avoid by sticking to v2 of the license. There are, however, GPL v3 licensed apps in the Apple App Store which you can find if you only looked.
Members of the U.S. Congress[1] have looked into the privacy implications of apps which have "call home" features. Obviously, nothing was done and this is still an issue. Go figure.
Some apps like the Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn apps would upload the users' address books, scrape calendar information, access email/SMS, etc.[2] I think that has changed from "industry standard" to "frowned upon".
And to think it ruined an otherwise brilliant teen comedy. Next week it'll probably tackle VI vs. Emacs, explaining that Microsoft Word is a superior text editor to both. Maybe the season finale will cover how Bing is a better Internet Decision Engine than Google. Oh, think of the cliffhangers when patent litigation is covered!
The word "irony" is frequently misused and doesn't mean "unintended consequences" or "rain on your wedding day". Irony would mean that those who supported drilling were actively trying to increase CO2 emissions and failed. That was not the intention of the Oil Lobby.
If you are not applying for the Y-combinator or are an alumni, you will tend to have a degraded experience to those that are in the "IN" group. Sorry to see that this affects you, but I am in the same boat. I've learned to just use this site as a kind of tech bookmaking site curated by popular trends. Sometimes there are interesting or insightful comments, but the overwhelming number of comments revolve around social politics or corporate espionage like discouraging competitors in the emerging markets.
To be fair the author is condescending to the people who read the article, which the author labels as "the internet".
From the bottom of the article:

I don't care what your politics are but the Democratic party is not the party that wants to stop the Republicans[2] from shutting down the Internet as we know it. Most people on HN probably think they do, however.
