The public listens to music on the go. Not many people bother sitting down and listen to music without other things going on, so audio fidelity isn't high on the priority list.
How does Apple have a monopoly? They are hardly the only OS or PC vendor on the market. This is like saying that Dell has a monopoly on Dell computers.
Yawn...."Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and other GOP leaders opposed the motion to adjourn the House, arguing that Pelosi's refusal to schedule a vote allowing offshore drilling is hurting the American economy. They have refused to leave the floor after the adjournment motion passed at 11:23 a.m. and are busy bashing Pelosi and her fellow Democrats for leaving town for the August recess."
What a load. Even if the offshore drilling is allowed it will be many years before we see any benefit from it (assuming that prices actually go down) More corporate welfare from the Repubs.
"Of course, if by "turn the company into another Microsoft" you mean creating a monstrously profitable giant - well, isn't that the goal of every corporation out there?"
I'd say not wanting a hulking, slow-moving monolith of a company would be a good thing. Should I mention Microsoft's recent history of "also-ran" products?
"I've heard some other crazy ideas for non-chemical rockets. One design has pellets of deuterium dropped into a chamber where they are precisely hit by multiple lasers and causes a tiny fusion explosion that is forced out the bottom of the ship, giving a far better bang for the buck than conventional propellants."
Isn't that the description for the Enterprise's impulse drive?

That's because they don't understand how to use computers, let alone how to get on the Internet.
Yeah if I wanted to see this crap, I'd go to Digg.
Leaving out the opposite extreme? Fascism has it's share of bodies also.

If I hadn't posted in this thread that would have been +1 funny from me.
True, but his philosophical and political clone is.
That's what he meant. By giving in to fear we let the terrorists win.
A lot of music on iTunes is not protected anymore.
Ah, thanks for confirming that you're one of the whiners from Digg.
Why single out Huffington and ignore Little Green Footballs and MichelleMalkin.com?

I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of kernel panics I've seen on either my Linux box or my Mac Mini. My Windows machines however.....

Latinum can't be replicated.
Well let's see, the replicator makes anything you could ever possibly need, so there's a good chunk of utopia right there.
I can think of at least one exception. Chief O'Brien.
Troll? I hope you get clobbered in meta you prick.
Then I guess the vote could wait a few weeks without the economy imploding yes?

Or the highly successful Zune...oh wait.
