What I don't understand is where the expectation that Apple products must be perfect originated. It seems like people like to seize upon the smallest of flaws and turn it into a five hundred word essay on why product X is suitable for nobody at all.
How does this happen? What inspires such inappropriate anti-devotion? It's just a piece of technology.
Actually it strikes me as odd that people see this as some sort of dick measuring contest. It's so very unimportant and the nerdrage surrounding it is so palpable that I can do nothing but scratch my head and thank god i'm not one of the bent-out-of-shape jackasses.
I have a quick reminder for all you "freedom" trumpeters trying to explain how things should work - Miyamoto is perfectly capable of making up his own mind. Your half-baked uninformed opinions about the conditions of his employment are stupid. Plain freakin stupid.
It's a shame that nerds don't really understand what the word "evil" actually means, because then the use of it on Slashdot wouldn't have been watered down into meaninglessness 10 years ago.
My projects get a "SUCCESS!!" dialog with flashing colors and a shower of sparks for an error screen (along with error details), at least during QA. I do so love getting defects that read "the system indicated success and failure at the same time."
That's not fair to people who suck. They should have the same privileges as those who excel because... I can't think of a reason why. Slashdot power lefties, help me out here please.
Frankly, were I in charge when the masses came to my palace chanting "FREE ENTERTAINMENT" at the tops of their lungs, I would order my forces to shoot into the crowd indiscriminately on principle.
He was busy revealing his ignorance of how to interact with human beings. The important thing is to forgive him, for he knew not that he was being a dick.
But if the zealots had to start dealing in facts, they'd realize that their answers aren't perfect for everyone. We can't have that happen, so we coddle them. That keeps them safely here on Slashdot, bitching to each other, and leaves the streets safe for us "normals."
Of course it matters, because this is an opportunity to jerk off all over Microsoft. Don't you know that the only way the world ever changes is when a bunch of zealots get together on the Internet to masturbate together?
But I read on Slashdot that we're all sheeple and our corporate masters tell us how to live. You must be lying. You're probably a corporate master trying to convince us poor sheeple that we really aren't sheeple.
When the alternative to the bailout is to leave a few hundred thousand people without a job, and a few million people with an incredibly precarious financial position on their homes, I say suck it up and love the socialism. It's not like these companies exist in isolation.
100k is still enough to live comfortably, so even "sharecropping" is hyperbole.
The only way to take this article seriously is to work from the premise that people have an intrinsic right to the life they desire. You may feel that way. I do not.

Nothing says "sanity" like a preemptive defense.
Since it's an isolated example and far from a big corporation, your case wasn't made nearly as well as you seem to think it was.
Where the hell did you get this notion from? Society doesn't pay people, people pay people. Welcome to capitalism.
I'd like to tag you suddenoutbreakofcommentsense
Run your own or suck it up. Asking for someone else to host your email is asking for them to read it.

That's no excuse. No installation of Linux has ever crashed in the history of the universe. Microsoft should be held to no less a standard.
It's my phone, not yours, so you don't get to decide what is and isn't acceptable to me. Arrogant fuck.
That seems like an awful lot of work for free entertainment. Why not just work some shit job and buy it?

For future reference, when something is so wildly off-topic, there's no real point to responding.
I just broke that rule myself, of course, but only as a service to you, because I like you.
I've got a more realistic solution - let's all start killing each other indiscriminately.
Mine at least has a chance of actually happening.
So my preferences are somehow less important than your preferences? That's a rather elitist attitude.
I suggest you realize you aren't the only human on earth, and your opinions only count for you.

Something tells me the concept of a public corporation isn't one you understand very well.
