    Steve Jobs is God. OS X is a fuckload better than Linux and Windows.. even if the best of the two were combined. I shelled out hundreds of dollars for my iPod and when the white earphones broke, I spent $50 to replace them with the standard Apple earphones. The Powerbook is the greatest ever. What can I say, I love Apple.

    Just a few days ago I've created a simple textfield widget with an "X" icon next to it so you can clear its contents with a single click. Should I avoid distributing it, since iTunes (and other Mac apps) contains such a widget? And yes, it was inspired by Apple's design.
