    Offtopic, and I know I'll be modded down as fast as possible, but for anyone who hasn't heard, Apple Inc. have ripped off another developer. Not content with ripping off Watson, they've now stolen the features for another product without proper recompense and included it in their "Tiger" OS. Read the story here.

    You know, I remember when Apple used to come up with their own GUI innovations. At least Microsoft tends to buy the companies whose technology it wants, Apple is fast becoming worse even thean them. A hideous creature behind a smiling mask, indeed.

    Bad karma from mixing with Apple fanboys. Please, set aside your zealotry and mod fairly for once.

    It seems you're using Windows, that must be the problem. Consider buying a Mac or installing Linux...

    I didn't know Microsoft owned Netscape! What the heck! Where does the DOJ get off on taking Microsoft to court for killing a company it already owned?!?!

    I must say, my esteem for Apple as a company raises each time they communicate "normally" (i.e. without going through heavy PR filtering). So few companies do it nowadays...

    This is a fuck-up on Apple[']'s part

    Of course it is! And I'm having a great time reading all the Apple Apoligists here talking about how this is a Good Thing!

    "I bought an iMac yesterday, and it was obsolete a year ago!"

    Everything Macintosh does is quickly seen as A Good Thing (tm), but everything Microsoft does is bad. Why is that? Steve Jobs is certainly as prickly as Bill Gates. Their equipment is wonderful, yes, but is thoroughly overpriced that it ceases to be a good computer.
