iPhone is very popular because it works really well for stuff like web surfing and whatnot. The consequence of this intersection is that iPhone is performing a near continual DDoS on the AT*T network every day. Friday won't be all that special.
You clearly have never worked inside a large company, or if you did, you didn't pay attention. They have better things to do with their precious developer talent than recompile Firefox and Linux kernels all the time. Stuff like writing Visual Basic applications to assure that they will forever be tied to Windows, leaps immediately to mind. Oh, wait...
OS/2 Warp was made at a time when a significant part of those with the knowhow to make and support a evolving OS worked for Microsoft.
Not quite. Bone up on your operating system history a bit and you'll make fewer ridiculous statements like that one. Start here: OS/2. At that time, there were lots of people at lots of companies who had experience making and supporting evolving operating systems. Almost none of those people worked for Microsoft, as they were a fledgling wannabe that had experience making a really killer business deal, and then milking DOS for all it was worth. The disaster that the evolving Windows product would become had only just begun. That disaster was almost entirely due to the fact that Microsoft didn't have a corporate culture that led to the reliable production of successive generations of increasingly better operating systems. They were insular. They preferred to hire inexperienced people who wouldn't tell them how to do things better, and brainwashed them into thinking they were the best. Should I go on?
Great. Everybody must have an Internet Passport. Just great. The spammers will have an incentive to steal those. It's bad enough now when somebody steals your identity. Takes years, sometimes, to clean up after that. Imagine what it will be like when somebody steals your Identity and the next step is for your Internet Passport to get shut off, for months, while a retrained electrician cum Internet Passport Agent from Xe (née Blackwater), Haliburton, or KBR sorts it out.
Next, some genius will get the bright idea to bring biometrics to the Internet Passport, surely *that* will stop The Bad Guys. At that point, spammers have an incentive to kill you and cut off your hand, which they'll attach to a little machine to keep it at the right temperature and perspiration level, so they can send V1@gra spam.
Apple isn't "sticking with GPLv2" so much as "actively working to replace every last scrap of GPLvn code with BSD/MIT/Apache code." They appear to be under the impression that GPL is unfriendly to business, which impression is defensible. They are investing many programmer years in Clang/LLVM, and soon enough will be liberated from the tyranny of gcc.
Now, for the big money, identify at least two logical fallacies that you committed, in your brief post (allowing some conceptual overlap between them, you should be able to find more than two, pretty easily.)

Well, there are people here who have deep experience with many models of laptops, simultaneously. Typically this comes as a result of being involved with large enterprises, which buy thousands every year. Then there's the one I use, on the basis of that experience (a MacBook Pro). Frankly, soliciting advice from people who have experience with one laptop every three years or so, seems quaint.
Hell, Steve Ballmer keeps repeating over and over how much more expensive the Mac is. If that's true, then people with Macs have more money. Where's the shitstorm of malware trying to steal identities from all those Mac users with hefty bank accounts?
Some of these lessons have been learned, over and over and over. By the time USB was designed, there really was no excuse for making a connector that crappy.
They (Apple) could charge extra for a usb cable or dock.
Goes without saying.
In the context, of quoting and repeating and adding zero information to the discussion, what you clearly meant to say was "bears repeating". How you got up modded for this is anybody's guess.
One of the videos on YouTube shows a bunch of students, bystanders, not looters, not even demonstrators, watching from a stairwell, trapped above and below by cops, then gassed. Complete SNAFU. Those cops should be fired.

The world ends in 2012, when it runs up against the supernatural limits of the Aztec calendar. Everybody knows that by now.
Even if satire isn't dead, reality is nipping at its heels.
Definitely not a Troll, unless Steve Ballmer has mod points, today.

You don't know from ridiculously overpriced. Try paying for an RS/6000, or worse, Windows Advanced License Revenue Generation Server.
All y'all are making this more difficult than it need be. They bought tickets. To fly. On a plane. Using a name.

Oh REAAAAALLLY?
Recycle them, so the raw materials can go into making more iPods.
Oh, and you need to look up the meaning of "hypocrite" while you're at it. You clearly don't understand what it means.
It should take you about two seconds to find them. Do your own homework.
You're cracked.
That's clearly too much work for these docking station whiners, try the direct approach: BookEndz
Hey upstream docking station whiners! Have you heard of this new fangled thingy called Google? You might like it.

A well made laptop needs a "port replicator" or "docking station" like a fish needs a bicycle. (Gloria Steinem reference unavoidable.)
