Well - this is just so typical of the drivel found here on Slashdot. I have been a subscriber to CR for 37 years! That's longer than some of you have been around. And I have never - NEVER - NEVER EVER - seen an ad for any non-CR product or service in any of their publications - print or online - in any and all of those 37 years. Check the facts kid and come back when you have grown up!
This is just one reason why Linux has been, is currently, and likely will continue to be a failure in the overall marketplace. Like it or not - Windows is perceived as one product. OS/x the same. For the ordinary user, they neither know or care that there god-knows-how-many different flavors of Linux exist - and that's even assuming that they even know what a "linux" is in the first place. Deal with the way that the world works!!!
Where was I praising Microsoft and/or proprietary software AND where was I admonishing open source and Linux in my comment? Let me think -- NOWHERE!!! I was commenting on my perception of the Slashdot posting environment itself and its typical posters! Your comment, in itself, is representative of what I do perceive. Sorry to have troubled you so much. When your anger subsides, you may want to consider a course in Reading Comprehension. You may also want to learn how to express your anger without having to needlessly resort to cursing. Maybe afterwards you won't sound like the "whiney bitch" you appear to be.
Why are you so surprised? It is amazing that ANYTHING that even dares to imply ANYTHING positive about ANYTHING from Microsoft is scored as high as a "0"!!!
Apple chief operating officer Tim Cook told analysts this week that the company believes the number of unlocked iPhones in the wild to be "significant," but declined to furnish accurate figures.
Slashdot Mirror
No matter what lame excuses or justifications you come up with - you are out and out stealing or doing something unethical!
How dare you question the intelligence of the resident Slashdot denizens! You must be a shill for somebody !
Except if the Lord Jobs deems that it is something that Apple doesn't want! If that's the case you never actually wanted it either!
It just works.....
Now Slashdot condones anti-semitism!!! Incredible!!!!

Correction!!! You must have meant all of them (the typical Slashdotter) - not just that particular one.
So now - "wait and see" means "stay away from". Interesting interpretation.

So Apple is entitled to a profit but others are not ????
I expected this human waste to have a score of 5 based on Slashdot's high editorial standards!
You sir - are a typical Slashdot IDIOT! Where was Microsoft mentioned? You are so obsessed!!!

As far as Slashdot goes - ANYTHING not pro-Linux and/or ANYTHING pro-Microsoft is FLAMEBAIT by default and by definition!
Why are you so surprised? It is amazing that ANYTHING that even dares to imply ANYTHING positive about ANYTHING from Microsoft is scored as high as a "0"!!!
Wow! 8 years (or even more if you start from 1990) - and we're still in the "early-adoption" phase!
Stop Complaining - Steve Says It's OK!!!
You're kidding - right???
