Back when USB was introduced the same could be said versus the serial/RS-232 port. And interestingly Apple was one of the first manufacturer to support USB, too...
Business success means selling the consumer what they did not know they wanted, e.g. the iPad or the Roomba.
Apple's goal with the Mac was to create a cheap machine, though they somewhat failed at that. But at the time, IBM PCs were expensive beasts, and until the Phoenix reverse-engineered BIOS, so were the clones. "Innovation"? PCs were formulaic, and when Gates had stopped scofffing at GUIs and made Windows, it was a derivative of the Mac UI (licensed, though). Macs had proper(ish) networking while Microsoft ignored that (or rather left it to third parties like Novell).
Not sure where you picked up your worship of Mr. "to get discount, pay us for DOS on all machines even those you sell with a different OS" Gates, though,.
Um, Nokia wanted access to NON-mobile patents held by Apple. I.e. patents that were totally unrelated to the technologies involved in the mobile space. Which Apple obviously refused to give them. Why should different rules apply to Apple and Samsung for instance?
So what? There are carcinogenic effects of the prions in meat, yet we do not ban steaks. Every drawback is measured against benefits. The transportation opportunities afforded by cars outweigh the health risks associated with their exhaust. And the benefits of accessible communication outweigh the potential health hazards of the radio waves used.
Now Comcast's customers must resort to one of the many other torrent trackers, or find the torrents using any number of general search engines like Google!
But the race has other participants than before. The U.S. are decommissioning the space shuttle program with no real replacement, which means brisk business for the rocket-using services of Russia, Japan, Europe - and China. India have plans of a space program as well. Private initiatives like Space-X are not at a sufficient capacity to take over for NASA's satellite business.
The 30% is ONLY on purchases made through the app itself. But they cannot offer it at a lower price if you buy directly from their website or wherever else. And where do you get that "negotiating lower prices for itself" from by the way? Is this the same kind of whining Border et al directed at the cheaper books at Amazon?
Was that something that had significance back before people found their information through search engines and used URL shorteners to provide compact links to people? Did people actually type significant domain names into address bars? How quaint.

according to Google Voice my girlfriend is my daughter.
Try again without that Kansas dialect.
Yes, it's like using the restrictive XBox 360 as "proof" that Windows 8 will be as restricted. Apples and oranges.
Depends on how you view movies like "Pretty Baby" and "Kids".
Since Microsoft is one of the parties that complained about the trademark: It indirectly is.
Yes, a numerologist at the time would be more likely to focus on Plato's 6*6*6, i.e. 216.
216, the number of the neobeast.
Macs can read from an NTFS file system (e.g. a Bootcamp Windows 7 partition), but not write to it (which IIRC triggers patent fees to Redmond).

The same should then hold for e.g. Windows.
Except Microsoft were so defensive over the name that they sued Lindows.

insist on getting money every time you want to do something with that device.
Say again? Are you on crack or some other drug? Methinks you are taking something and mis-applying it something fierce here.

Ministry of Truth. That name cannot have any negative connotations.
Maybe the science fair has been replaced by an intelligent design fair already?
I think you mis-spelt "flying" there.
What I want to find out is whether this has lead to brisker business for Amtrak and the bus companies. Or car rental companies for that matter...
That he had to go 15 years back certainly does.

The fiends!
It's closer to a counter-economy-101 phrase like "demand at $500 is the same as demand at $0".
More like patriotic I guess? :)

Hand knitted socks from some Amish village, I guess.
Is that a corollary to the old Buddhist saying that if you own more than seven things then the things own you?

It's supported on Mac OS X.
