Tell me about it. Hell, the costs of laying fibre are half used because of paperwork, before anyone touches a shovel, let alone building a nuke plant. Tell me again, why havent blown the world up yet? it would be for a greater good -- that of our descendants.
I'd say that any properly made ICE car will have similar or even lower maintenance requirements, thing is, its not as straightforward aswith EV, and manufacturers avoid doing that for the reasons you stated.
Vista sux sounds like Linux sux. Think about it - picky about hardware. That was linux'es main problem. But then again, Linux always ran like quicksilver on bottom-of-the-bargain-bin HW, unlike Vista. And linux had the FOSS comunity, while Vista has Balmer, sooo... Vista sux not only because its picky aboutHW in general, but it has to be expensive as well, and its not free, so you cant say ya got what you paid for. My $0.02 YMMV
WebKit is an open source application framework that provides a foundation upon which to build a web browser. WebKit was originally derived from the Konqueror browserâ(TM)s KHTML software library by Apple, Inc. for use as the engine of Mac OS Xâ(TM)s Safari web browser, and has now been further developed by Apple, Nokia, Google and others. The framework is now used by Omniweb, Shiira, iCab, Adobe AIR, mobile phones (including the iPhone), Nokiaâ(TM)s Series 60 browser, and Googleâ(TM)s Android platform. Although WebKit is included with Trolltechâ(TM)s Qt 4.4, the underlying framework for KDE,[1] the KDE project will use its original version of KHTML for the near future.[2]

Oh yeah, raising the bar, riiiight....
Bonjour, an implementation of the Zeroconf protocol?
does Darwin have any serious userbase outside Apple? No? It might as well be propitary, then.
Obj-C? C++ -- more popular, more feature full. If you insist on run0time desicions, use Java.
GGC -- WTF?
BSD, LLVM SproutCore, JavaScript,... OK, I'll give you that, still until every little bit of OS X is FSF-certified, I dont plan to shut up.
They have succeeded with products that people want to pay for.
That type of people, the SUV demographic, more precisely, make me wanna puke
They have contributed much to the open source community.

They have raised the bar for software/hardware technology in general.
Hardware? WTF??? Software? Again, WTF?? Macs are overpriced PCs, no better quality than a Dell with the same parts. And OS X is PC/Desktop-BSDs flegmatic brother (15 times the latency for creating threads OMFG!?!?1).
They give developers a great platform for either open source development or Mac development without charging for developer tools.
Open source development for what, prey tell? Darwin? That ubiquious open source leach? Is there anything for Mac that originated on Mac that runs on something else? Hones-to-betsy question.
They have created an exceptional market for independent developers to make REAL money writing for the iPhone.
They have created a new niche, oh happy day for the open market. *facepalm* */wrists*
I guess Apple is bad because they make money off the back of open source and applying M$-esque buisness techniques .
Well, I'd rather spend 15 min. from website to ready desktop on ubuntu than $1500 more for an optical drive of all things (without fiddling, of course).
