We know now that we can indeed transmit information through space. Now, all we have to do is find a way to kick Heisenberg's ass and precisely measure each particle, and transcribe that as information. In all seriousness, we could indeed be frickin' teleporting to work in the next 100 years. Or shorter. Let's hope we invent time travel first, so we don't have to.
And Mac had a graphical web browser before Windows ever had graphics.
The point is that we can go all the way back to Charles friggin' Babbage. Each OS has great and horrible things, it's just that on/. you're more likely to get Winhaters than Xhaters. (Even though Xhaters sounds cooler.) I say we move past Win vs OS X.
If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, and it flies like a duck... then it must be a rare Mongolian tsetsefloofle birdmolester! No way it could possibly be any kind of, you know, DUCK...
Of course the idea is to achieve the Dock in Windows. It's a good idea, it generally works out, and people tend to like it or get used to it. The only problem I can see is if Microsoft copies it too well, that Apple's lawyers would be on them like ugly on a bulldog. That would be a fun fight to see.
I can't install rockbox on a newer ipod because they decided to encrypt the firmware.
I can't use linux to sync newer ipods because they decided to increase the itunes database.
So... Apple won't let you install a third-party program... on their proprietary device. Big whoop. When you bought something that was locked down, and YOU KNEW IT, you lost the right to complain about Apple protecting any rights they may have tied up in the iPod OS / hardware.
The syncing on linux point is moot, because even if you can't do it right now, you WILL be able to shortly. Thank OSS.
Apple coule make a stand or put in an adults-only section of the store.
There's the catch. If Apple were to make a stand, those same gullible people would cry foul, and before long, the iPhone is 'full of devil-music and Christ-defying smut', and there goes a good portion of conservative buyers. On the other hand, if Apple put in an adults-only part of the store, we could skip people crying foul and jump straight to the devil-smut.
DISCLAIMER: I have no idea what I'm talking about.
I think that inhaling any of the ingredients in the screenshot from TFA would be bad for you. Especially whole candy.
Kidding aside, I don't think Apple had much choice. All it takes is five or ten idiots who can't see through their guise, and all of a sudden people are e-mailing them about keeping kid-safe apps off of the App Store.
In conclusion, blame the shallow, gullible masses.
Maybe so, but it's only a matter of time before Richard Branson has enough money to make himself a) immortal and b) able to fly, thus creating "VirginGalactic - ON A MADMAN!!!"
Yeah, because quoting The Onion is funny, tasteful, and insightful. If I had modpoints, I'm mod you like +10 funny. You would've easily been a 15 if you'd included Xkcd, and heaven forbid you should link to Penny Arcade... they'd have to buy a new server just for the rating I'd give you!!!
Heck, some of my comments in XCode (which I use for PHP, Perl, C and C++ development) have been known to have (or won't compile because of):wq at the end (my previous editor of choice before the latest XCode)
I'm sorry, but I don't get it. PHP I can KIND OF see:wq at the end of a comment getting in the way, but Perl, C, and C++ (with single-line '//' comments anyway) ignore the whole line.:wq

Redundant as hell. Gee, if I had modpoints...

Then again, what do I know?

As a matter of fact, that bill was never voted down. There it sits, still on the docket... We could literally re-define mathematics if we saw fit.

*SNAP* Dude, you totally just called Microsoft's Win 7 marketing campaign. (Or should I just say Campalin?)
I can hear the banjos floating over them thar internets now, clogging up the tubes...

No, because there's more salt water in the ocean than fresh water in the glaciers. Think it through.
