because the last thing a company of Apple's size needs is a pretext for puritans and politicians to bash them over.
He's chosen instead a stance that everyone else can bash Apple over. Steve Jobs is supposed to be peddling coolness, but his attitude on porn comes off as distinctly old-fashioned and out-of-touch.
You don't know what you're talking about. The Win 9x line died and was buried with ME. XP, Vista, and 7 and the various server editions are all in the NT line just as 2000 was.
Yeah but the advantage of Vista for x64 users was XPx64 users got 64-bit drivers without the annoyance of Vista. Since the kernels were the same, you could use Vista drivers on your system.
XP64 shares kernels with Server 2003, not Vista. You can't use Vista drivers.
The developers of this software simply aren't ready on their end and there is no reason why a company should HAVE to upgrade just because MS wants more money or compliance (read slavery) from their customers.
If you don't like the rules of Microsoft's game, then don't run their software. Other options exist.
Interestingly, the game released in the US as SMB2 wasn't a "real" Mario game, but a mod of a game called Yume Kj: Doki Doki Panic with Mario characters thrown in.

Chrome is based on Chromium, Chromium is open source, meaning the code is available to anyone who wants it. So why hasn't anyone massed around with Chromium to kludge together a true ad blocker, which may (or may not) be portable to Google's flavor, Chrome?
This has been done, actually. SRWare Iron is primarily concerned with privacy modifications to the Chromium source, but it also has ad blocking baked in.
I stopped following the project closely when I began to have trouble compiling Iron for 64bit Linux, but I recommend you check it out.
It's a very large bullet point on their sales presentation slide. "We have been around the longest. We are full of mystical, intriguing quirks that lend to our legitimacy."
Actually the Eastern Orthodox Church can trace a more direct lineage to the beginnings of Christianity than the Roman Catholic Church can.

I was looking forward to an interesting article until I read the opening paragraph. /facepalm.
Really? You should know better anytime you see "posted by kdawson".
It quite common for American restaurants that serve steak and such to refuse to prepare dishes cooked to less than "medium" tenderness.
Windows Server 2008 laughs at it from on high.

I've always wondered why people bother trying to use strike-throughs... they don't work on /.
Flash has been working just fine on the Mac for like 15 years now.
Do you work for Adobe? Flash for Mac (and every non-Windows platform) is absolutely horrible and that's hardly a secret.
for hundreds of years:
That's the same sort of argument used to defend the Bible, and just as convincing.

Driver support for XP64 is a joke.
Perhaps try the a install of XP with SP3 already integrated into the ISO?

But then I realized I want to play using a keyboard and mouse, and I don't know if the PS3 version supports them.
The lack of mouse/keyboard support in almost every game that could have benefited from it has been one of the biggest disappointments for the console.
The capability is there, but next to no games use it.
Since the hole is so big now, and the rate of leakage so massive, the world's oceans are quickly covered with the flaming oil, like a propane torch.
I think you watched 2012 one too many times... :)
* Schoolyard mythology: presidents elected in years ending in 0 always died in office.
George W. Bush didn't die in office. Does that mean we are or are not currently in Bizarro Universe?
Apparently the AMG SLS has explosive bolts designed to trigger in the case of a rollover, making it the first car that can blow its own doors off. How cool is that? XD
How do you know he lives in a country where EULAs are legally binding? It may be perfectly legal in his country.
Apple aren't anything; it's a grammatically singular entity.
His usage is correct for British English.

It still has a long way to go before it surpasses the PS2's sales total.

Additionally, I've never been too savy with the seperate window it opens when you want to download something. To me, these are on par with pop up ads.
