Fuck em. Mac users who nitpick about UI consistencies in an honest fashion would never have enough time to do anything but bitch at Apple for all the little ways they violate the expectations they themselves set. Just now they're getting around to fixing that themselves. Apparently their development model is so difficult that even they can't do it right without a decade to catch up.
Oh, I get it. It just doesn't make any sense. But thanks for the vitriol, I like when assholes self-identify so I know which people to never take seriously again.
Please, nerds, for the love of all that you hold dear, please stop making up "clever" names for things until you check with me. I will tell you, honestly and without rancor, if it sucks.
I mean Fista? That doesn't even make sense. Come on!
I seriously wonder where you got the idea that America is somehow more corrupt than European countries Possibly from Slashdot, where Europe can do no wrong and America can do no right. Not sure if you've been paying attention around here, though.
It just seems like there's a serious assumption at the core of this, and a rather elitist (and therefore suspicious) one at that. In order to accept the premise that the RIAA "controls" music I'd have to accept that people don't decide for themselves what they like. I reject that as grousing by disenfranchised nerds who habitually reject anything anyone else likes as "not obscure enough."
Since morality is completely subjective, how do you propose such a thing be legislated?
-also-
The Nuremberg defense didn't work only because, and this is a very important point, Germany lost. Had they won, it wouldn't have even been a question. Morality doesn't really enter into it from a very practical standpoint.
The software Luddites ran out in full force to declare that they hate features in their applications. Good for you guys, you can continue to use 1970s paradigms until the endtimes. Just stop acting like you somehow understand what other users want out of things. It gets old.
(and before you passionately explain to me the superiority of your opinion, note I will probably mercilessly mock you for being stupid)
the point of being cool is you're not just another random person That's the nerd definition, perhaps, which makes sense considering it's a culture that celebrates the love of obscurity and shunning anything anyone else likes.
The reality is, being cool is about being cool. Can't be defined. Any attempts to do so peg you as uncool, and you'll probably never know why.
Quickly, everyone immediately jump to Apple's defense. Microsoft cannot possibly do anything right, and Apple cannot possibly do anything wrong. We must destroy this article like the piece of lying filth that it must be. My prejudices demand it!
Wholly irresponsible and contrary to the long standing attitude that we help each other in the greater Internet community. Hi, it's not the 90s anymore. Your long standing attitude stopped being the norm a long time ago.

I agree. I long for the past when everybody always did the right thing.

Imagine someone on Slashdot drawing a comparison that actually made sense in context... and a pony. I would like both someday.
Who are you voting for, so I know who not to support? I'm just not interested in the elitist's candidate.

Who knows man. I'm far to cool to even contemplate such a question.

But then all these poor geniuses who were forced to buy an iPhone....
Wait, the logic broke down already. I'll just stop here.
And exactly none of that has any bearing on anything presented in the article. Congratulations on contributing to the stupidity.
...that you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Services... Reading comprehension FTW!Quickly, everyone immediately jump to Apple's defense.

URGENT NEWS ALERT! Europe upset that over 200 years later, US still won't do what they want.
As a computer person, you feel qualified to tell a judge what the law says?
You're a Java programmer and you think Javascript is ugly? I guess unnecessary verbosity has its place, but I find your opinion odd at best.
Also could have just used the word decrepit. Means pretty much the same thing, not exactly of course, but it gets the point across.
I agree. I'm tired of my language having color and flair.
Or what? Be subject to snide remarks and sidelong glances?
Who assumed anything, aside from you assume what Americans assume?
But hey, a nice slam of the US is a welcome way to get karma around here, so I salute you.
Weird how your opinion doesn't map to everybody, huh? The world is crazy like that. I suspect your troll hole is not entirely metaphorical.
