Apple has the best packaging but certainly not the best hardware...which is probably why they finally woke up and switched to Intel which had long been a staple of the PC world. (this has made it much harder for Apple to use bogus benchmarks)
The Dell notebook I own has better specs than any Apple notebook yet costs less. The Dell 30" LCD I own cost me roughly 50% of the Apple price yet has better specs. My Zune gets daily use where as my iPod Nano collected dust for months until I finally gave it away. My PC has a high end graphics card not even available through Apples site as an option yet the whole system cost me much less than the baseline Mac Pro.
In every case the PC version was cheaper and more powerful. With Apple you pay for aesthetics only.
You were saying something about better hardware?
Tectonic plates hardly qualify as "simplest details".
Comparing a numeric conversion to something as fundamental as tectonic movement is absurd. Any given application has dozens if not hundreds of these conversions...in this case it was probably in the thousands. The odds are that one will get overlooked or manage to pass debugging and code review.
Missing a tectonic plate is not even remotely analogous due to the size and infrequency.
Instead of replying with comments like that why not just cut to the chase and indicate that you're an anti-ms troll.
The 360 has been doing just fine without the release of the Elite. You'd know that if you actually knew a thing or two about the current generation and weren't just another./ anti-ms troll looking for any opportunity to come off looking knowledgeable because you've taken a cheap and in this case unfounded dig at ms.
Other than manufacturing issues the 360 has been a fantastically designed system in terms of features, peripherals and online support. The Elite caters to that very small niche who need HDMI. The HD can be purchased externally and will most likely drop significantly in price.
You could if it wasn't for the small fact that the Dreamcast was Sega's console.
Designing the OS for a console and the overall console itself are two totally different things.

Just like Passports and Social Security cards have been....oh wait.
There actually are environmentalists who are advocating for the elimination of all humans. But carry on with your total, melodramatic overreaction

What is up with your sig? You do know there is a world outside of that city?
Your friend sounds hopelessly naive.
So tired of the fanboys....you would have come off so much smarter if you had just said "Office costs too much" and left it at that.

Then how do you account for the XBox 360 which is a superb console?
