If Jobs is Jesus clearly Wozniak is God. He is in my mind and I am not even a Mac guy.
Besides it is clear who was the real brain at Apple during the early days.
So come one iPerson, come all. Bash your god.
Clearly he must be wrong speaking ill toward Apple.

Ever notice how Microsoft fans do not feel the need to bash Apple every chance they get? Think about it
Just another slashDot post so the iPeople can get there rocks off at bashing Microsoft. As a previous poster pointed out this is the 3rd post for the same story. slashDot has really been trying hard lately to post stories just for Microsoft bashing. Including posting several stories older than dirt just to prove they are bias.
slashDot you really should remove the tagline "News for Nerds". News implies you have credibility when you report. In my view you are rapidly losing yours.
1, perhaps but I doubt it. Besides I am a happy guy.
2, actually it is "slashdot" but that part matters little particularly because allot of people call it/.
3, I choose "none of the above"
Seriously, what the hell is going on with this site?
1st, this was a story from a long time ago.
2nd, even if it was from yesterday, this is not news. This is simply SlashDot posting a story so anti-Microsoft people can hate.
Report news, not your bias. Lately you really have been struggling to post your bias too. This is the second anti-Microsoft story within the past 2 weeks that reports news older than 6 months. http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/12/1658249/
Get your act together SlashDot

This story can't be true. Everything is perfect with everything Apple has ever made. (Well except for all of the mice they have ever made.) But this can't be true, marketer Steve Jobs and his commercial told me about "time machine" so it must great. Rush, what are you thinking taking on Jesus like this?
We, the technically savvy, will always be able to get around whatever they try to impose. We adapt and move on. It has happened before and will again.
I for one, have no intention on slowing down my sharing. However, based on all the articles I have been reading over the last 3-4 months it seems to me that our current model of sharing will soon be coming to an end, including Bit Torrent. I could be wrong on that. The technology might be robust enough to accept a slight change and continue gladly along.
Does anyone have any insight on new technologies or sharing models that are in the wings? Any links I might want to check out?
I am not about to say XP works perfectly. However compared to previous operating systems from Microsoft it is a giant leap forward. Stability, ease of use, deployment, administration. I deal with it every day in a corporate setting and all aspects, compared to previous operating systems, are improved greatly.
So the question becomes why would a company, or individual for that matter, change? They wouldn't. Particularly the companies. They have a product that works well so why spend more money. Individually, I consider myself a power user, I haven't upgraded to Vista and do not see a change in my near future soon.
I am getting so sick of reading this website and all the people railing day in and day out against Microsoft. Anything that involves Microsoft just gets slammed. Good, bad, or indifferent. (This article is a good example. Microsoft is moving toward what you said you wanted, having IE support more standards. What do we have? People not even caring, just hating.)
Reading this website for well over a year, you know what the common theme among you is? All of you say the following.....I use Linix, I use OSX, or I would never be caught dead using a Microsoft product. So I am left to ask again, why do you care? If you are never going to use Microsoft why would you rail against anything they do? Are you that bored? You are going to use OSX so why do you care about Vista? You are going to use FireFox so why do you care about IE? You are going to use Thunderbird and OpenOffice so why do you care about Office?
The stories that get the most posts either involve Apple or Microsoft. Apple is Jesus and Microsoft is Lucifer. There I summed up ever post for you. Now go do something else. Go find a life. Go explorer Apples latest service pack, Leopard. Go write a Linux app. Go outside. Stop ruining the credibility of this website by spewing your hate.
PS: Have you ever noticed that Microsoft fans are not bashing Apple ever chance they get. Can anyone really say that about Apple fans and Microsoft? Think about it.
I am just at the edge of "twenty-something" range. 29 year old programmer and DB admin to be more specific. I completely agree that we are impatient. I can only speak for myself of course but the reason I am impatient with searching or, for that matter, computers in general is simple. I know that computers CAN give me instant and accurate results for anything I ask for. I know for a fact they can and that means they always SHOULD. When they don't do something I know they should be able to, I get frustrated. Inefficient programming, poor AI, or just slow hardware you can choose your reason. They all make me frustrated. At least that is my story.
Coming from someone who has to use an archaic IBM AS/400 keyboard every day I can relate to this. What I would have rather see though is the top 10 worst keyboards of the last 20 years, if not 10 years. Not dinosaurs from a time gladly forgot.
Also, the top 10 worse mice would be nice. I can remember using Apple's round mouse. God that thing sucked. It hurt too.
The interesting thing to me is the "incomplete" list. There are some major corporations on that list. What happened there is what I want to know. Did they decide not to peruse the bid or maybe they just could not find a pencil sharpener in time to finish the application? If they were serious about a bid it seems odd to me that these major corporations would somehow not complete the application in a timely fashion or not correctly.
What a perfect example of shaping a story based on your bias. I don't remember seeing anywhere in the bill where it said "The Internet is a terrorist threat." So your headline is purposely misleading. Shame on you.
This is what the bill says about the internet.
(3) The Internet has aided in facilitating violent radicalization, ideologically based violence, and the homegrown terrorism process in the United States by providing access to broad and constant streams of terrorist-related propaganda to United States citizens.
Anyone disagree with that statement? If so, you really have no clue. Plus, when it really comes down to it "The internet has aided in facilitating" pretty much EVERYTHING. You can insert whatever you want in there and almost always be stating fact. Like say, the internet has aided in facilitating you yelling at me about this post.
SlashDot: Just report. Do not try to shape thoughts and opinions through your headlines. Even if others are sending you in these links and articles you are the one posting it and you should be responsible enough to change things that are obviously bias. Like this headline.
What argument? I was not commenting on the collection of the information or on either company. It was simple observation about the SlashDot message board and its tendencies.
You know that if this story had to do with Microsoft doing this same thing people would be screaming as they always do. That is not a hypothesis that requires testing. I have been reading this website for long enough to know that as fact. However you are right. It was a hyperbole simple because I have never seen any article with 9000 responses.
Have a good Turkey Day:-)
I just find it interesting that if you were to replace the words Apple and iPhone with....oh I don't know maybe say Microsoft and Vista you would have completely different messages.
Even if it was complete legitimate that it be sending information, like updating a weather app. You would still have 9000 people screaming bloody murder with 2 little word changes.
However it involves Apple so what you have is slightly over 100 comments with some iPeople looking for anything they can to defend it.
Just interesting to me.
.....and why is this news on Slahdot? The House of Representatives voted on whether or not to hold a floor debate, like they do all the time. Congressional procedure is both dull and none news.
So why is a technology website covering this?
Oh, I get it. You are not objective. You only reported this because it has to do with the current administration and your bias against them. Well I now know you also are pushing an agenda. In the future I will not lend credence to your reporting.
PS
You know the funny thing? I agree with the bias but you are a technology news site. Try to act like it.
Before everyone flies off the deep end.....
Every single time Bill Gates is asked (he is constantly asked this) what his vision of the future is this is always his answer. TV, Internet, really everything in the digital world tuned to you and your preferences. I must have heard him say it 1000 times. That is the future. It makes no difference if you like Microsoft or not. That is the future. Everyone should have saw things like this coming.

Mindless Apple drones. Jobs has you all brainwashed.
If only Wozniak was still at the company. "

(although this time I did)
You know if I could install OSX on any gear I wanted I would actually buy a copy. As it is Apple is far too closed.

In a related story that is CLEARLY just as news worth. A janitor at Microsoft has resigned.

slashDot you really should remove the tagline "News for Nerds". News implies you have credibility when you report. In my view you are rapidly losing yours.
I also find it curious that while we get 3 of the same Microsoft story we did not get the story about Apple being sued over the iPhone. Just curious to me.

I hope everyone on this site will be going after Apple with the same fervor they would as if Microsoft had taken similar action.
Wait, what am I thinking? This is SlashDot.
Summon your strength and try to complain. I know it will be hard, seeing how Jesus just slapped you but give it a try.

1000 comments on a story that does not involve Apple or Microsoft.

But this can't be true, marketer Steve Jobs and his commercial told me about "time machine" so it must great. Rush, what are you thinking taking on Jesus like this?
For real SlashDot?
You are now posting stories that are 10 months old just to prove you hate Microsoft.
What is this site coming to?
We, the technically savvy, will always be able to get around whatever they try to impose. We adapt and move on. It has happened before and will again.
I for one, have no intention on slowing down my sharing.

There it is. Exactly the point.
Q: What is the problem with Vista?
A: XP
I am not about to say XP works perfectly. However compared to previous operating systems from Microsoft it is a giant leap forward. Stability, ease of use, deployment, administration. I deal with it every day in a corporate setting and all aspects, compared to previous operating systems, are improved greatly.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.
