The article lays out some of the amazing things you can do with your Linux-enabled wireless router such as using it as a VoIP gateway, a wireless hotspot, or even an encrypted layer 2 tunnel endpoint for remote troubleshooting."

    If you don't know what Cmd-Shift-1 and Cmd-Shift-2 are for, GTFO.
    If you think Firefox is a decent Mac application, GTFO.
    If you're still looking for the "maximize" button, GTFO.
    If you don't know Clarus from Carl Sagan, GTFO.

    Bandwagon jumpers are not welcome among real Mac users. Keep your filthy PC fingers to yourself.

    Considering retail outlets should exaggerate the iPod's market share, not underestimate it!

    iPods are much easier to pick up at a local retailer than the other brands, since the new models are in stock and priced about the same as online. I think you can even get them at Walmart!

    On the other hand, if you buy one of the "other brands," at a store you pay significantly more than you would online, and you end up with an out of date model. Physical stores can't compete with online retailers for niche items, so data based on retail sales will be biased toward the big sellers (or toward companies that buy up shelf space...)

    An extreme example of this is Cowon's iAudio. Feature for feature, they kick the pants off comparably priced iPod's. As far as I can tell, they're *only* available online, and get 0% of the retail market share in the "anti-iPod" studies considered by the article.
