Any rumour about Apple opening up OS/X for use on generic PCs, is ALWAYS false.
Wanting will not make it so. Repeat after me:
Apple is a hardware company.
Apple is a hardware company.
Apple is a hardware company.
Apple is a hardware company.
Keep repeating until you figure out why they will not sell you OS/X for your white box PC.
You are right. I have said since the beginning that they should sell off th OLPC at $250, and use the profits to offset the costs of machines going to third world countries. They could even have gotten rid of the special power supply for the versions sold in North America and Europe. Saved a couple of more $ per unit.
That said, I think we all owe the a debt of gratitude for showing others that there was and still is demand for a small, cheep, low power laptop.
Try a "headlight" I know they look kind of foolish, but after the first time I was able to do an automotive repair job without having to hold the flashlight in my teeth, I was converted.
Too freaking bad.
The iPhone is an apple product and they provide for free a dev kit that will run on other current Apple hardware. Now we have people whining because it doesn't run on Windows, or Linux. If Apple thought it would help their market share or make them a few bucks they would produce the dev kit for other platforms.
If you don't like it you don't have to develop for the iPhone.
For the record, I don't own an iPhone, and do not plan on buying one.
But you are forgetting that Telus is crap. I had a little celebration when I was finally able to cut them out of my life.
Then 2 months later they called me to ask what they could do to get me to come back. I told the CSR on the phone that if they would send a tall beautiful blond to pleasure me once a week, I would consider cuming back to Telus.

I thought Vista was a gimmick to get me to buy a Macbook Pro... If so it worked.
Interesting because my one recent experience was the opposite. The file got corrupted by MS office, and I fixed it using OO.o
Don't tell them anything about change.
Users fear change.
Tell them they are getting an upgraded version of office.
True enough, less fear, less whining, and less pain for you.
I prefer the title "Godlike Super Entity".
In above... toy := you
"you can't be hired on as a tech for their Cali based servers and live in Canada can you?"
:)
Sure toy can, but the commute is a bitch.
"This means that coffee doesn't make you paranoid...."
Who told you to say that?
You had coax cable... Luxury.

Someone had to say it.
Can you prove this theory of yours?

Am I the only one who read this as "just a backup of terabytes of pornographic images"?
Would that replace whacking off with Macing off?
Well, it got me to switch to Apple. First a MacBook, the just last week upgraded to a MacBook Pro.
Too freaking bad.

Damn near all of them. Americans live in a police state, get used to it.
Trailer Park Boys. RIP.
Oh if only the situation were that positive.
Do you know the release date for Virtual Dishwasher?
Or Yard work Simulator?
I am getting so tired of waiting.
Did you just install the latest version of Bonsai Buddy?
I hear it is great!
If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
I was thinking politicians.

The blond hasn't showed up yet.
Oh yeah, Telus == Evil
