Hell,that's nothing. Ballmer has sat twiddling his thumbs and ignored online search, online advertising, social networking, the digitisation of the music industry, portable music players, mobile telephony, and the tablet market. Now I ain't no computar genious, but I hear some companies have filled those gaps and are making good money.
Lets not forget who dominates the computer scene; computer nerds. I could walk grandma through screens of settings... OR I could just send a CLI script to check and/or set any options.
My grandmother has an iPhone and an iPad and doesn't need to worry about any of that nerd shit.
If something's good, tell me it's good. If something's bad, tell me it's bad. Stop trying to be balanced. I'm fucking sick of reviews in the form this thing is amazing... but it's really not that good.

And there it is, folks. This is just another cock getting stuck in our collective mouth, and this politician is hoping that if he puts some sugar on it we won't notice.
So why doesnt that apply to anyone looking to launch a new Android phone, or why didnt it apply when Android entered the market after the iPhone?
It does. That's why the top-selling phones in the USA are, in order, the iPhone 4S, the iPhone 4, and the iPhone 3G. That's why profits in the mobile industry are divided into Apple's 75% and everyone else scrabbling over the remaining 25%.

Not to mention Xbox, which by my calculations has cost Microsoft's shareholders a round THIRTY BILLION for no return.

they patent the heck out of it, share it with their Android partners
You mean competitors, right?
have you ever tried replacing components in a Mac Pro? I ask rhetorically of course, because if you had, you wouldn't say such rubbish.
In thirty years of replacing computer components I have never had an easier platform to work with than a Mac Pro.
I see a huge potential market in the form of catastrophically obese Americans.
I've never run my iPad brightness higher than about 60 percent because I want to retain the ability to see. That shit is BRIGHT.

Are they actually net positive now, years after all the investment they poured into the xbox division?
Hell no. They haven't even made a dent in the BILLION-DOLLAR writedown that they had to eat thanks to the RROD fiasco.
The Xbox is arguably the greatest turkey in the history of the technology industry. I can't think of another product that's failed to such an extent.
Do you really think it would be a good thing for that regime to have even more power?
Why is it any of my business?
prediction: every game that is presently "MA15" will get moved to "R18", and everything that is banned... will remain banned.

Slashdot must need to get its ad impressions up or something.
If God wanted this child to live, he wouldn't have made her sick. I for one condemn this unchristian interference with nature.
all Google had was the ability to look for things
Well, it did have its CEO on the board of directors of a company that was creating a revolutionary smartphone. That's quite a head start.

Chance of getting caught after committing child abuse when there's a witness: X
Chance of getting caught after committing child abuse when there's no witness: X
Easiest way to ensure your abuse has no witness: kill the child afterwards.
If the penalty for each act is the same there's no reason to leave the child alive.
I didn't get the drooling over retina display until I actually used one.
Liar. Sales figures show that you are completely wrong. iPhones don't even figure in the top five. Pathetic.
Samsung lg l700 , ~9 Million
Samsung Galaxy S2 , ~6 Million
Nokia Lumia 900 , ~5 Million
HTC One X , ~2 Million
Newsflash, oh brave Anonymous: Apple sold THIRTY FIVE MILLION iPhones in the first three months of this year alone.

I highly doubt NZ acted with 0 evidence
You're obviously not familiar with the NZ Police.
And ninety million possums, possums!
(That works best in a Dame Edna voice.)
I'm reminded of reports that RIM management's response to the iPhone specs at release was "that's impossible".
