Well im sorry but id huvta say "wrong answer bud". Do you honestly belive that M$ plays with dice when it comes to market oportunities? They are a couple of hundreds steps away from what the real market timing is. A notebook may huv been a hit in 08, n in 07 had a lame start but M$ knew bout em since 04 when the netbook "proyects" started. I thought this was common knowledge, but lemme explain it to you real fast, in order to get this netbooks on the market theres an entire infrastructure (or backend if u like) behind the machine blueprints, n im talkin bout market estimates, market studies, new technologies, well... pretty much all sorta stuff we, on this side of the market, dont get to see unless u work for one of those computer manufacturers corporations or companies. That being said, M$ has some pretty badass legal contracts with most of these manufacturers, n which ever manufacturer gets the latest version of win offered on their product, and workin, ll give em such a humongous amount of profit there is just not enough room on slashdot's host to type that number in. A couple of years ago, when IBM started their unique "Linux" campaign, everyone was just goin mental about puttin money on it (manufacturers that is), such as dell, lenovo (which isnt IBM, just bought a product line, know how, n a whole bunch of corporate stuff), HP, etc etc. But, it failed, they thought it d somehow end with M$'s tyrany in short terms, but it didnt, normal users (unsuspecting public if you want) dont like linux, they are still afraid their computer might eat them if they hit the ScrLk button or sth, so they rely on Windows to satisfy this.
Try to open ure mind a bit, corp world is too huge to sum it up in a couple of lines, but trust me on this one, ive seen it happen.
Well it seems apple its starting to sound a whole lot similar to their M$ buddies. Same idiotic idea of claimin their products huv new stuff when those features huv been around for ages. Take win vistas look n Linux's 1st Beryl... pathetic.
Apple seems to be focusin too hard on looks, but no soul (funny how that applies on so many lvls, over chargin just to huv ure computer or phone huv a dumb apple so u ll look "cooler" to others in ure head)...
Ok... so, lemme see if i got it right. Some religious enthusiast (probably catholic) wants to "create" some "we know where it all came from" thing... that ll actually give ppl the chance of gettin a degree in faith? For cryin out loud, how exactly are they gonna come up with an answer for, well, lets say a hindu kid, budist, even jewish, go to class everyday thinkin their parents and heritage have real answers (again, small kids) for all of the universe questions and this "certified beliveInGodKnowsWhat" ll tell em that they studied the science that isnt really sciense cuz its based on none logical facts.... or facts at all... completely messin these kids minds with questions they should b askin themself in a couple of years...
So.. wheres the benefit? Are they trying to make ppl convert to a standard religion?... u kno.. white beared kinda god thing? Ridiculous.
I d luv to attend one of those classes, just cant picture some "professor" sayin> "well, lets see.. am... Mr. Smith, do you know the answer for this equation? Where do we come from?.- Mr Smith: well... im thinking God, but i couldnt make my homework last nite i was busy feedin all o my 25 children"...
In my opinion Religion is the unlogical logical response from the human brain to unanswered questions. But i understand the fact that it does help ppl on rough times. Again... religion should just stay as religion, a way of life, filosophy, call it whatever u like, but its definetly NOT "science" material. Just try thinkin about it the other way around, what if Nikola Tesla founded the "Church of Alternalcurrentism... am... church", based on what exactly d he huv the nurv to come up with sth as ridiculous as that!
Well, just my opinion, dont get p1ssed;)
