5 billion mobile phones by the end of 2010 -- but where are the apps and games? (Download Squad)

Jul 5th 2010 2:09PM If you see the Bible as a safe, peaceful set of rules for living a moral life, I think you're the one confusing the relatively mild way the book is usually taught in Europe and America with the violent and tribal content of the book itself.

I do not think for a second that “everyone who reads” the Qur'an or the Bible is dangerous. I think it's dangerous to hand someone with little education either one of those books without also handing them The Age of Reason and On The Origin of Species.

Jul 5th 2010 12:51PM @seriousam7: I know hella is pretty informal, and ironically based in the very religion I deride, but I don't think it's *that* big a deal :-)

J/K. I asume you mean colonialism, and you're right, it's a bit rich to describe the Bible on a cell phone that way. It was on off the cuff comment, I just wanted to roll my eyes at Sebastian because I think it's bad form to casually throw in the Bible with educational content, and Christendom's colonial history in Africa is context on some of why it's so tacky.

Jul 5th 2010 10:40AM The Bible? Really? More Christian colonialism is the last thing Africa needs, and a hella stupid idea to put alongside educational content.

What really happened with Wi-Fi on the iPhone 4 (TUAW.com)

Jun 11th 2010 7:43PM What's with the ridiculous headline? “What really happened”... is exactly what Steve said was happening. Too many base stations.
