    haha, MY attitude was rude? I suggest you reread your post. I simply responded in kind. Yes, of course, you should always assume people who disagree with you are trolls. That way, in your own mind at least, you won't have to face whatever challenges were brought against your views. While it denies you the chance to learn something new, at least you can stay in that nice self-absorbed realm of petty narcissistic solipsism. You do realize this attitude lives up to that negative liberal stereotype I mentioned?

    It's quite easy to tell the difference between useful innovation and when someone kills needed/useful functionality to hop on a bandwagon. Grafting tablet interfaces onto desktop systems is definitely an example of the latter. The change brought about all kinds of grief for people who actually do more with their computers than use them as facebook terminals. You shouldn't hate them so much for their attitudes, because they're the ones who make the content for you to consume on your tablets (or tablet-interface addled computers).

    He's welcome to have a different view and do what he wants with his company/money. Only spineless fairies like you would rush to silence criticism of yourself or others, in order to avoid feeling bad (or having others feel bad), truth be damned. This is that special snowflake syndrome that is dissolving the spine of western culture. To hell with that. I do use something else, but, I have a right to state my views, too. I realize this right offend people like you who can't handle criticism, but that's not my problem. Of course, that's why you elect politicians who'd love to stamp out free speech, right? To make it my problem, and make up for the fact your arguments are without merit?
