China to Be Laptop Leader
prostoalex writes "IMS Research says that by the end of the year People Republic of China might become world's biggest laptop manufacturer. The plants will be largely owned by Taiwanese manufacturers, though. Taiwan is current #1."
Am I the only geek who flinches when they see the word "Be" in a headline? (think BeOS, best operating system in the universe).
:wq!
Ok, i'll stop jumping so hard when I see headlines like that, just please stop writing "Be" with the upper case letter in headlines.
Doc already told me to lay off the caffiene.
Please, Zeta guys, release it already!
Looking under the hood, it gets worse. While all other *nixes use standard ELF binaries, Darwin (Apple's name for their proprietary "Unix" kernel) does not. Ummm, Darwin is open sourced, www.opendarwin.org. And almost everything is "standards" compatible. Run Samba or almost any other common unix app and it will go AND work. So quit your griping. Jeez, they just changed the "windowing" environment as you call it. And I think they got that from NextSTEP.

Apple is a monopoly. They make their OS and their hardware propreitary. How is Microsoft worse than that? Microsoft makes a great product, and they have done for longer than Apple. Just because most computer users choose the ease-of-use and professional style of Windows, means it's a monopoly? Riiight... That's not a monopoly, apple control's its own hardware. NOT the whole computer industry. Why don't they port Safari? They have no moral reason to or any reason to whatsoever. Apple isn't in the business of making apps for windows, they make their own OS.
