Microsoft - Lets you run any programs you want on your device. Reviled by Apple Fanbois for being oppressive. Apple - Tells you what you can and cant run on your device. Fluffed by Apple Fanbois for not being oppressive.
Yes, but as documented elsewhere in this thread, the report showing Apple as #1 is in fact evidence of incorrect definition or incorrect methodology. By your own statement, you believe IPads are not PC's, thus proving my point that the report is flawed, and your statement evidences that you agree that it is flawed.
Others have clearly documented how Nintendo has sold far more units than Apple, even counting IPhone's as computers.
The media obsession with Apple can only be explained as fanbois or those who hold Apple stock and hope the fluff nets them a profit.
1. Must work for free 2. Must be willing to write tons of extra code to insure you dont break others incorrect code in their applications 3. Must be willing to listen to your egotistical boss act like he doesn't understand rule 1.
Maybe I am not seeing the ocean from the beach here but why the fuck would anyone want to do that sort of work?
It's good you found a way to interject Bush, Cheney, and even Ice Cube's AmeriKKKa phrase all while cowering from your anonymous hole.
Nothing is rational or sane about suicide. It is the ultimate selfish act for cowards.
MITIMCo is a division of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, created to manage and oversee the investment of the Institute's endowment, retirement and operating funds. As of June 30, 2012, MITIMCo had more than $15 billion of total assets under management.

The difference is, it was during Obama's administration that A123 got 250$ million in federal funding.
Gee, what a shock, yet another Michigan company losing nearly $1 billion, all while eating from the trough of taxpayer dollars.
"I worked for the Postal Service for 13 years." - OK, I'll be honest, this statement alone biased me against you, but I'll bite.
"I can't believe that 1 in 1000 disks would be broken as a result of normal mail processing, even OCR machined mail, much less 1 in 100 or 1 in 50." -That is because the rates are likely higher. My wife's company ships DVD's as a competitor to Netflix and Gamefly, and Gamefly is 100% accurate in their complaint. The USPS machines eat the mailers, destroy the disks, and even if you attempt to 'package it right' the USPS sends your company's disks back to Netflix!
"The Postal Service is an easy fall guy." - That is because, like most government entities, they are typically inefficient and ineffective in their duties. They are an easy fall guy because of their track record, not because someone just felt like blaming them.
"Theft of such a magnitude is just not possible, not within the confines of the mail service." - Wrong. Gamefly got 19 people busted, and my wife has personally gotten 9 people busted in just the last year, 4 in one specific post office location. This isn't speculation, it's fact.
"These people are honest and proud of it, except for the few inevitable bad apples." - Some, yes. My grandfather was the head of the Cleveland Post Office Union for 12 years, so I know both sides of this story, but I can tell you with 100% certainty that Gamefly is dead on in their suit. That said, that doesn't mean they will win, sadly.
This likely means something in my opinion. To me, it means Apple is charging resellers a very specific price, and Dell, HP and others are likely changing rates based on reseller/vendor. Can any vendors out there comment with some experience rather than my speculation?

I still remember when my dad bought the Mac 128k. At the time I was blown away by the technology that was in that machine, which had an HD the size of my last paper for school...
We all know if he fails at anything he can just blame George Bush, and the media will eat it up. He got elected on hope, not policy. That means he doesn't have to deliver on anything, because losing hope isn't something most people blame on any one person.
Despite all that, I truly hope he proves me wrong and actually becomes the first President (in my lifetime) to really do something.
Do you see extended support times in the instances where you need legitimate outside access to the PC in question?
Also, what do you do when the "work-related" site gets infected and the user then uploads (unknowingly) the worm into your (poorly patched) network? Have any other users been burnt with this method?
What if the point of all these attacks isn't to steal passwords or credit card information or anything? What if the intent of this massive 'takeover' is to create a database of information, that stores oh let's say...Microsoft's encryption in relation to a specific terminal, in comparison to how the attackers know the system is truly identified?
Would this allow them to brute force determine how Microsoft encrypts computer information on a broad, rather than granular spectrum? I mean, if you give me a database of information, and in one recordset I have the unencrypted records, and in recordset two I have encrypted records, couldn't I then start to break down the encryption process more easily based on the huge amount of data I have?

Which one seems more like the Party in Oceania?
They need a way to keep saying Apple is #1 when everyone with a brain knows they are anything but.

What's with this urge to punish? What has Marvell done that's so evil? Other than being a powerful US corporation, that is.
They made billions of dollars off the patents of others and didn't pay appropriately to the patent holders?
"Last week after consultation with parents" Which parents? How many? What was their political makeup? This whole story screams censorship.
Those can and often do include physical harm when those you speak in front of exercise their right to free will.

Look at the wiseguy ticket scam. They downloaded the img file for every captcha then generated the correct responses.

How do we blame George W. Bush for this when Barack Obama is the president now?
