Apple's is a Shuffle, or iShuffle, or iPodensmallened, or something.
Lux Pro's is Super. I mean by adding the word Super it is clear that they are disrespectful to dirt. Can you not see they are serious? Get out of their way, all of you! This is no place for loafers. Join them or die. Can you do any less? For lucky best mp3, use Super Shuffle.
Simply put it isn't the best UNIX, the best Windows or even the best MacOS but it is ALL of them at anytime and all the time.
I can do anything from run an Windows AD to run nessus in Gtk. It is as close to perfect as it gets. And my wife and 5 year old son can use it and never notice all the "tweak" stuff it can do.
And, look I know this isn't a popular sentiment but it's really pretty.
If you buy a Windows based PC you get ONE (1) FREE call. One. Then I charge you whatever I am charging at the moment. This ranges from 75USD/ht to anout 125USD/hr. If it is something I really don't like - like Outlook I might double the charge. If it is 20 minutes before the Superbowl, serioulsy - don't even call.
Unix based machines - we'll talk... probably free because I like Unix.
If you buy a Mac I'll support you for FREE for LIFE. You ain't ever gonna call.
I don't mean to be rude but Sfs Tenderloin is as rough a neighborhood as say... Suffolk County Long Island.
Everyone warned me about it when I went to SF. Seriously now, I grew up in Brooklyn. You people are pussies. The Tenderloin is not a tough neighborhood.
when I got paid for knowing about computers for the first time I thought, "Everyone should own a computer!" I think that a lot less now. But not becuase I am 1337 and "they" are LUSERS with PEBCAK problems. Not at all.
The home computer has failed to become an appliance like a microwave, or a refrigerator. Is it really any easier than it was back in the Apple ][e, Commodre 64 days? Has WinXP or Suse 9.0 or OS X really made computing as transparent as heating a chicken? Has networking gotten much simpler?
For the average mom and pop at home who want to send some email, do some online banking, shopping, knowledge gathering and write a letter, maybe balance a checkbook really need dual G5s a P4 3.0?
The computer world looked ready to go back to main frame client/server models with things like Java et al. It should. Give mom and pop a 20+" monitor and keyboard and mouse and let them access everything though their browser. Here's you Word Processor, here's you email, here's your pr0n.
And for those of us bold enough to muck about in kernals, driver and whatnot well we still could. Andf we wouldn't have to do it everytime we visit our parents, neighbors, friend's office.
People are diving off the internet because configuring their computers is still hard. It's still "dangerous" and frankly all the pr0n in the world can't drive this "internet" thing much further. And to this point pr0n and games have driven the internet and home computing into the super computer realm to this point.
The users aren't the issue. The fact that some 40 years later not all that much has changed regarding setting up a network is an issue. The fact that there is a large corporation out there making consistently insecure software despite their responsibility as the market (well really as THE market) leader is an issue.
well I am not going to say you don't make good points.
But I was talking about a Palm without any extra apps. In the same sense I am talking about an NC that has its apps and nothing else.
When you remove those choices from the end user you will have some end users that are dissatisfied and others who merely settle. I'd wager though that there'd be a lot of people just happy to have the few apps they have and Solitaire (of course) and never ever have to deal with a service pack, a virus update, a backup.
People who just turn on the monitor and get their mail, check slashdot and get on with their lives. They exist. I know.
I say this all the time. I used to believe everyone should have a computer, then they started calling me and I quickly realized very few people should have a computer.
However, the applications a computer runs are very good and very important. Email, Web Surfing, some data/word processing are all terribly useful for the average person. If only the damned computer weren't in the way!
Palm has a really smart way to deal with that by limiting any interaction with the OS and making the App king. Plus having everything running all the time makes everything faster.
The smart money is on going BACK to mainframe type applications and computing. Java (etc) have been invented so what's the wait?

They are totally different.

Why would you? Old email can only be used against you. Trash everything and burn your hard drives every few years.
I like Carvel... mmmmm soft...

No that would make it Cocoa
Never ever ever never ever ever skip the cleavage. Never!
You don't need a Firewall contract. Just learn to fix it yourself.
You don't need Symantec Anti Virus Support. They ain't changed nothing worth talking about since 7.5.
Dude... seriously... you're dragging down the prices
Start at 75USD/hr and go UP from there.
Freakin' Marxists!

Just because some old lady died they're not going to sue her anymore?
This needs legislation!
Just because you die doesn't mean that you shouldn't be sued!

I pressed this button and it made my house into a house with a combination lock on it.
Seems pretty secure.

A worthless skinflap in a worthless, failed Commission.
Useless and impotent since its inception it is time to abolish the FCC.
The only better news would be that he got ebola and gave it to the rest of the Commissioners Freedom Kissing them.
Fuck him.
