You know...The re-emergence of this thread got me to thinking...It is kind of ironic...Apple was doing...ok with the Apple II PC's.  But it was the Super Bowl Ad to introduce the Macintosh that really propelled Apple into the tech giant it is today.  For all of you "youngsters" out there, the ad depicted a grey, Orwellian dystopian "1984" vision of people mesmerized by mass media and status quo. (it is essentially a scene from the book, so they were sued) Then you see the woman Olympian in vibrant colors, swinging a large hammer and letting it fly.  The hammer destroys the screen, waking(freeing) people from this nightmare.  the Macintosh was supposed to "free" people from information control.  And now Apple is one of the larger tech conglomerates that contributes towards an actual 1984 like setting.

The app is but one example.

Great point!!

I know this is Necrothreading, but they have done a great job keeping me from updating my humor from my phone what with being able to go in through a browser.  Did the android version ever launch, and if so, is it still usable?

In 2001, Apple closed its California production lines, dismissed its American workers and moved production to China, where investment subsidies were high, wages low, and labor unions and environmental rules nonexistent. Apple has since admitted to avoiding $41 billion in US taxes. Now the tech giant — led by CEO Tim Cook — has truly made out like a bandit, becoming the world’s most valuable corporation in the process.

This reads like a SPAM post. What on earth does it have to do with the man's question on whether or not the android version of CG launched and is usable???

Blondie, FWIW, I have had the android version on my phone since the start. Works just fine, although I find the print very small for reading without constantly enlarging it.
