The thing is the resale value makes no sense. Only a fool would buy a used laptop without a user-replaceable battery, particularly one that had been in service for more than a 6 moths or so.
The last time I used a Mac, the only way to increase the mouse sensitivity was to change the acceleration. By the time you had it turned up high enough to cross the screen without picking up your elbow, pointer_velocity(mouse_velocity) was basically a step function. The result is that once you move the mouse faster than some threshold velocity the pointer leaps into motion.
Your Fitts' law argument ignores the critical step of shifting mental focus from the application window to the desktop. In the case of multiple windows open at the same time, it also ignores the step of clicking inside the window you intend to address to shift the window manager's focus.
And to anyone who has multiple windows open at the same time instead of a single maximized window.
And to anyone who has a large monitor. (Apple, in fact, sells a 2560x1440 all-in-one.)
Mac users might not have so much difficulty getting their mouse pointer over the menus if OSX had a sensible mouse acceleration curve, instead of that godawful nonlinear monstrosity.
If by 'drag, drop, done' you mean
1. Install bloated music player, pulling in half of OSX.
2. Drag, drop into itunes.
3. Drag, drop onto portable device.
4. Hit sync.
I omitted possible additional steps for hunting down a plugin so that the music library software developed by one of the largest tech companies in the world will actually read flac and ogg, like nearly every other music player compiled since 2007.
I was referring to the importing into itunes. I assure you I have no objections to pornography. In fact I dare say you would be hard-pressed to find a more dedicated connoisseur than I.
Or zero all memory used by a process when it terminates. Your tax returns are safe as soon as you close your spreadsheet program. If it became standard practice, it would also obviate the need for zany emergency-power-off-in-case-of-raid schemes.

If I were him, I certainly wouldn't feel threatened by an email from someone who can't even keep their character sets straight.
Nonlinear as opposed to sensible, rather than curve.

Railing against nerds on Slashdot. Honestly.

I am wholeheartedly behind punitive incarceration and the removal of said "person" from society for the remainder of their sad, little life.
All because that ""person"" looked at a picture. You, sir, are seriously fucked up.

Why do people think this shit is acceptable?

I'm using 172.17.0.0/16. Why aren't you in my routing table?
If it was strong enough to affect hard drives, it may have been strong enough to attenuate the phones' signals by cyclotron resonance.
Of course, by the time hard disks are affected I think they'd start noticing dropped aluminum objects drifting lazily to the ground.
WAhhhh! I don't want to right click and temporarily allow the cdn! I just wanna tend mah crawps!
Sorry. Luser interaction flashback.

Where are you getting the extra $1450?
WINE. It is, in fact, an emulator.
Ahem.
Get a real computer.
Are you suggesting a fragile social solution in favor of a technical one?
AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Okay. But why do the solar panels have to be associated with the car in any fashion?
And it's your job to make them realize it, is it?
But that's reckless driving. Ticket them for that.
Follow them around with a drone until they break traffic laws trying to evade it?
384 kb/s is not broadband. I don't care who you talk to. It just isn't.
Anyone running a WAN that covers 50mi should be fined for abuse of radio spectrum if they don't broadcast the SSID.
