Perhaps his particular brand of ethics doesn't agree that the law is wrong. It's not exactly a rare opinion, unless you think the whole world is Slashdot. If that's the case, I feel sorry for anyone who interacts with you.
And yet they're selling like crazy. I guess you have an alternate personal definition of "getting it right" since using the normal English one makes your post a lie.
If you unclick it first (or use the fn key should you have it) then it works just fine. I've been doing it for years with no problems. A few keystrokes and I'm on my way.
Or maybe we actually like widescreen better, and you few clinging to the narrower aspect are the weird ones. I find that more likely, since it's not too often that companies dictate what to buy to their customers.
Aside from the fact that the whole premise of the parent comment is basically incorrect (unlocking is simple as pie,) the only insight it provides is into one person's specific (and unusual, marketwise) needs.
I suspect the anti-Apple crew burnt some mod points today to help a fellow "don't like the iPhone"r out.
As it stands, I'm considering you either a) not a very advanced computer user Possibly not the best argument to make in a discussion about Linux being ready for the masses.
Since he's someone not advanced enough in programming to deal with it (like the vast majority or people) it's not like an abandoned open source database would solve that problem for him either.
That's an awful lot of work for a negligible effect. I thought I had a hard time deciding what toothpaste to buy - with your system I'd need to have a list of verboten brands with me to even start to figure it out.

Good for you. We're all very gratified to know you just that little bit better.
Yeah, and a hamburger costs more than a steak, so long as you need to buy a house in which to eat the burger.

Bah. People need to start realizing the positive growth, even if very near to zero, still isn't negative. This isn't a difficult mathematical concept.
It is... of the square root of 2.
Unfortunately, reality says "Reach for it all you want, you'll still never attain it."

Yeah, that "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" is a fairly tricky checkbox. You have to click it just right.
OMG you mean to suggest that Microsoft is motivated by profit? How dare they!
One user. Which kinda undercuts your point. But you wouldn't want me to say you're especially stupid, would you?
Please don't tell me what I want from the Internet, thank you.

And it's been true with every version. Fulfilled promises count as a plus, you know.
You can't argue reality into nonexistence, although I appreciate your perseverance.
You're actually completely wrong about every single one of your points. It's nearly as funny as it is sad.
Yes. Average users point to the monitor when they mean the computer. A cryptic string full of clever abbreviations isn't exactly their cup of tea.
Since the configuration GUIs are either pre-installed or come on the disc with the hardware, you are only partially correct.

Don't go bringing logic and reason into these emotional debates. You ruin my good time.
I'd be surprised if the folks who cared about something like that bought an iPhone in the first place. Let's not lose sight of the big picture here.
You pay it out of pocket. Welcome to the real world, stuff sometimes costs money.
