The Apple tradeoffs are a better deal than the PC tradeoffs. Apple are high-value, for limited period at reasonable price.
PC machinery - for the last decade - has been terrible value, for an indefinite period, often on-the-cheap.
The Apple OS value has grown on me. I can get Linux+Gnome to treat me exactly as I want, but the Dell or Lenovo pile of cracking, slow IO crap always makes this very painful.
The old PPC? Good linux box.;-) You can put a light distro on there and get better value out of a PowerBook, than you could from a Dell D600 with anything Bill produced.
This includes everything from managing the progress of technologies, to profits from the trade in drugs and armaments.
Law is your enemy. It was made without your representation, and adopted by managing your consent under a false pretense. Always treat it with suspicion.
Yes, but Apple has continued to provide significant value in its upgrade path.
This can be demonstrated - not argued - by the fact that you cannot find an instance of 7/8/9 era macos running anywhere. Else the exception of some geek's curiosity collection.
10.5.8 has issues that won't be patched. But really. I had the 17" PowerBook until 6 months ago. Do you really pretend that the machine is still usable?:-)
(I also have a Blue & White G3. It's pretty, at least!)
Google Docs cannot import Word files larger than 1MB!
Yeah, I see this as a viable business alternative. It's pretty pathetic.
Google is great at giving the promise of brilliance to incomplete solutions and those with missing use cases. They gloss this over with a mystique of iterative, agile, dynamic mumbo jumbo.
Look what they've done with Chrome. The horrible version inflation of the industry has been driven by their leading crackpottery. Now we have 2-year-old browsers with double-digit version numbers. "Consumer friendly" identification? Please.
I'll sooner eat my own foot, than get stuck with Google Docs.
The recent outcry by the American Media complaining of mass riots over the Russian election has gotten me thinking. Do the youth in Russia protesting understand exactly how free they are compared with the American's slandering them? Consider the facts.
1. America's Free Press
Six Corporations control the American press (Walt Disney, General Electric, New Corporation, Viacom, CBS, and Time Warner), whether in print, or on the television. They even used the frequently derogatory term bloggers to refer to free publications that do not follow their talking points. In covering the protest in Russia the supposedly freest press in the world even saw many programs using falls footage, such as those from riots taking place in the European Union, and mimicking those of the Occupy and Tea Party movements happening coast to coast in America.
2. America's Free Speech
If you think you can say anything you want if you're an American consider the American president recently authorized the assassination of an American citizen who was known for recording tapes and CDs denouncing America's policies as immoral, and oppressive.
3. America's Freedom of Religion
Frequently in the last several decades children have had to rely on parents taking schools to court to avail themselves of the right to pray; Churches and Mosques are frequently having to show up in court to preserve their rights to call people to prayer, ring bells, or even maintain a cross that happens to be visible from a public highway.
4. America's Freedom from Taxation without Representation
American's Pay Almost 50% of their income in Taxes, and work the longest hours of any country in the world.
While Americans insist their tax burden is low, once one tallies the taxes on products, housing, transportation, and hidden taxes employers must pay on behalf of employees Americans work 6 months of the year before they see any profit for their labor.
The average American has 2 weeks of paid vacation, and 3 personal or sick days for unexpected absence at work. Many are so afraid of becoming unemployed they do not avail themselves even of these. Expecting mothers in most American jobs are expected to work to within a month of their expected due date and return to work in 6 to 8 weeks. With the effect of so many families where both parents work the prices of American products are such that only if one member of a married couple is independently wealthy it is impossible for them to survive on an income of a single worker. Women are not free to stay home and help raise children, and increasingly many children are raised by daycare workers, and school teachers.
5. America's Open and Transparent Courts, and Corruption Free Police
While other nations are changing the terminology of Militia to Police, America is enacting laws to the opposite. More and more anti terrorism legislation is targeting 'special instances' where American Citizens can be denied indefinitely rights to an attorney, and be held without being charged with a crime. Further these special situaions call for moving ruling on whether these Americans have committed any crime into Military courts which are not subject to the constitutional protections of traditional American courts.
6. Free Elections
International observers are not allowed at American elections, in fact foreigners present at American elections thought to be spying can be charged, and deported and not allowed to return to the United States. Increasingly exit polls conducted on those exiting voting sites in America show disparity with officially reported results; and Americans have little means to investigate why.
The electoral college system in America is legally able to elect whomever they choose for president regardless of whom Americans vote f
The reports derived from a supposed interview with Communications Minister Reza Taghipour published on April 1 that was in fact a hoax, the ministry said in the statement on its own site www.ict.gov.ir -- which itself was not accessible outside of Iran. "The report is in no way confirmed by the ministry" and is "completely baseless," the ministry statement said.
The hoax report quoted Taghipour saying that Iran would from August launch a "clean internet" that would block popular services like Google and Hotmail and replace them with government-sponsored search engines and e-mail services. The ministry statement slammed the false report as serving "the propaganda wing of the West and providing its hostile media with a pretext emanating from a baseless claim."
Now, who'd want to spread false information, like this?
The FACTS are that the US is leading the effort in creating the world's most restrictive regime of control, surveillance and censorship of ALL electronic communications, worldwide - at home and abroad, including all Internet protocols.
But what do you expect from a nation that surpassed Stalin's record for incarceration? Truth?
The regime banned satellite TV more tan a decade ago, but every Iranian city-dweller from Yazd to Tabriz watches the latest MadMen and Big Bang episodes, from a dish on their roof. Yes, the CNN and BBC domestic propaganda feeds are avidly consumed, too.
Whooh! Feel the rush of democracy, flooding over the airwaves! The mullahs have little to fear from regular Internet access, either. Given the alternatives of being a US/Israel bitch, like Turkey - or going with their local brand of bastardry - Iranians will remain proud and nationalistic. Their chauvinism, vataan parasti, rivals that of the French.
Besides, why close your Internet - when the US is on the verge of forcing an International "agreement" without representation, that makes the Chinese firewall look like a Sunday's proof-of-concept exercise?
Slashdot Mirror
Wargame. Oxymoron.
What danger is more certain or immanent?
A) Global climate change, derived from models
B) Fukushima reactor 4 spent fuel rods, unmanaged and uncasked, with 85x the cesium-137 of Chernobyl

This guy is not an idiot. Stupidity can be forgiven.
Kip Hawley is a TOOL.
Not in Norfolk? Market Shipborough, perhaps?
Let's say to an equivalently bucolic setting, like Wisconsin outside Madison, or Dubuque Iowa.
One reason that the UK is still superior to the US, despite being blighted by The City, and laws made by silk breeches, and omnipresent camera vision.
In America, this story would have ended in a tasering, or pepper-spray: like that poor fellow who's MediLert malfunctioned.
