Maybe there are benefits packages apple is offering which even google does not (though it's highly unlikely). Like discounts on Apple hardware. Those could easily add up to tens of thousands a year, if you like Apple products enough.
Maybe these people are fanatics about the platform.

... Most couldn't care less about the internet and those who do and are going to the library and getting good access there in a clean and friendly environment... There, fixed it for you.
I say people like that are half of what's wrong with this country. "Oh look, someone who is easily angered... let's poke him! Hehehe, I'm so superior."
I think parent is confusing, "best" with most celebrated/lucrative. What defines a great idea should have as much to do with its effect as how hard it was to conceive.
You couldn't care less. If you could care less that would mean you do care a significant amount which would mean you agree with me.
Would you vote for an illiterate candidate? The president has enough staff members to read him everything he needs to know. Would you vote for a candidate who never finished high-school? You don't need to have passed algebra, English composition, and most of the history they try to teach you to sign your name and a position on the issues. You see the problem I'm having here? Vote how you want, but I'd prefer someone who has, what I believe, is a minimum basic skillset.
Technically/.'s probably more of an aristocratic republic or some other arcane political hybrid, but the point is it's run mostly by majority (read: Lowest Common Denominator) rule.
Says a lot about his attitude, though, doesn't it? I hope, for all our sakes, that the quote in question was completely facetious. Otherwise people are supporting a candidate who doesn't consider it worthwhile to sit down and learn how to check his email.
Not necessarily. In the US system the cell owner pays for incoming minutes. The spitter would only be paying connection charges, which could be low enough that it would still be economical. Legitimate VoIP companies offer unlimited plans, so it's probably ot negligible
I don't know who perpetrated the hacks in question, but saying that the most populous country in the world, a country that was chosen to host the 39th Olympic games, a country that maintains the largest known firewall and surveillance systems on the planet, Can't scrounge up a few people capable of it isn't just laughable. It's vaguely insulting.
Philosophical refutation is a bitter medicine in that it chases comfortable falsehoods from the mind, to paraphrase Plato. Is the carpet-bombing vulnerability not a bug? Would not fixing this bug render the exploit innocuous? How many parts does the material cause of the exploit have? How do you describe the efficient cause?
Of course marking it as unsafe doesn't actually cause IE not to load it. So it is Microsoft's fault.
No, that makes it both their fault. Apple couldn't meet 'em halfway. Now all M$ has to do is release a patch so IE won't run stuff marked as unsafe and suddenly it's all apple's fault again. It's like if you're driving a car known to have insufficient brakes and you ram it, full speed, into a minivan full of nuns. You can say it's the manufacturer's fault for building a car with weak brakes, but if it's proven you didn't even try to use the brakes at all (no skidmarks, witnesses say no brake lights, in-car black box, etc.) it's pretty obvious that you didn't meet the car manufacturer halfway and are at least equally culpable.
Personally I think the bigger issue is that Safari will auto-download, auto-mark-safe, and auto-run files silently. IE's broken too, but either one of the players involved could render this exploit moot. Let's see who responds first before stoning someone to death.
I still don't see why someone would be browsing around in safari and then open up IE. A regular user's likely to only use his favorite browser and a dev who needs to view the same site in multiple browsers would probably notice that there're a bunch of new.dll files all over the desktop.

I don't know... does the great firewall block openoffice.org ?
Commie software pirates vs. Monopolistic MegaCorp. Who will the people side with? Who will win?
Except for the part where they proclaim to be.
Isn't that a bit like saying, " I would eat earth worms before starving to death." ?
Btw it's "hire an Apple, etc, etc."
...or are handy with the eBay.
... Most couldn't care less about the internet and those who do and are going to the library and getting good access there in a clean and friendly environment... There, fixed it for you.Well, OS X users have their tethered iPhones...
So you're saying you'd rather live in a country where people express emotions you don't understand with actions rather than gestures?
I say people like that are half of what's wrong with this country. "Oh look, someone who is easily angered... let's poke him! Hehehe, I'm so superior."
So covering one's bumper with stickers is the way to get people to think twice before cutting one off?

SCSI would probably be whigs, torries, or some other historical, obsolete, political affiliation.

Ah, an audio CAPTCHA! Oh, how this will advance voice recognition technology!
That'll be great until the spitter increments to spoofing your number.

If they have, like, a bajillion rice-farmers, couldn't they trade rice for H4x0rz?
