They scan your emails and show non-obtrusive targeted ads off to the side, whereas Hotmail floods your inbox with crap mail, obscuring the mail that you actually want to see.
Whatever point of intelligence robots get to, people need to come back to earth. It's still artificial intelligence, even if it seems so real that nobody still calls it so. They might appear to have intelligence, feelings, etc., but they don't. And never will. They don't care how you treat them, they're just programmed to appear like they do.
Apple's not a monopoly. If you have all Apple products, that's your choice. You can use an Apple computer with Linux or Windows (though I don't see why), a Logitech mouse and keyboard, a Dell monitor, a Linksys router, GMail, an RCA mp3 player, and purchase music elsewhere. You use Apple by choice, and they don't have a very large market share in much other than the iPod/iTunes area. Though I can't see why anyone would use an Apple monitor; you can get the same monitor for 1/3 of the price from a different company...
OTOH, you'd be hard pressed to find a computer in a business (other than Apple's stores) or the home of an Aunt Tillie that doesn't have Microsoft Windows.

Think French Revolution, Reign of Terror. Throw out the old, crappy one; replace with new, crappy one. Or have service packs ever produced a good Microsoft product?
What copy protection? Every CD I've ever bought was just straight data. Even if there is copy protection (I don't doubt it), a program that rips music from a CD doesn't circumvent anything; it just reads the disc.
I remember when it was commonplace to get a recovery disc along with your computer; now you have to pay (quite a bit) for software that's already on your system. What happened?
Oh, just watch. They'll stab in the back whomever they're trying to protect; it's what they do best.
When will people learn that a company is a company? They exist solely to collect dough; none of them give a damn about others' rights save for the money it gets them when people start to favor them.

For this to constitute evidence, it would have to happen to more people than just you. I never get spam at my Gmail address.

Sounds nice, but where's my goddamn flying car?!

Horrible, toxic, non-renewable phosphorescent chemicals and heavy metals that are only used once, instead of once per page.

One in one hundred?! If that's true we should all be dead...
That's stupid. "In Soviet Russia" is supposed to contain some amount of wit, not just any random sentence reversed.
Isn't "may inevitably" an oxymoron?
Wasting time criticizing it?
Oh, come on! Can't /. go twenty-four hours without someone taking a stab at intelligent design? That wasn't even brought up by anything...

Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V.
But how did #2 'evolve'?

No, of course it's not real. The computer makes random comments all by itself, with no real human to write them.

Realizing you just wasted 10 * the time doing it? Priceless.
Really, I don't mind spending a *little* money to save time fucking around with Audacity. It's slow.

Of course it's "promised in stone"; Microsoft always 'promises' a release date. They just break the stone and say it never existed.
Let me know when they release something on time...
Something that wasn't rushed and ruined...

Anyone whose daddy can afford a private school education is likely to have a daddy who can afford one hell of a defense.
