I tried to read the article but after encountering the phrases "astonishingly foolish management decisions," and "Paul Allen on First Meeting Steve Ballmer: He Looked Like a Stalinist Police Officer" I quit. Sorry but if you want to write about the downfall of a company you can at least do it in style, and not throw these extreme phrases around in the first paragraph.
I have the feeling that democracy doesn't work here. What does the legality of a rejected law matter? So why does the Court still have a say in this? And why, if ACTA is deemed legal, does the Parliament have to vote again? Is that normal procedure?
ABS (anti lock brakes) are also mandatory in cars here, and seatbelts. They usually work, because they are nod designed by the government. Why would the goventment design them? They just mandate some technology that does something, and let the manufacturers figure out how to make that.
They picked mediocre because nearly every computer out there was sold together with a MS system running on it and people were too ignorant or too lazy to change that. Not much has changed since then. BTW, I think 'mediocre' is too big a compliment for Win95.
I see your point but we will have to agree to disagree on this. Yes, OSX gets more iOS-like with each upgrade but that makes the whole Apple experience more agreeable. But you don't have to use all the new features. And it still synchronizes with Outlook if you need that. OK, you need the horrible stinking pile of rubbish that is called iTunes for that, but it's possible. But I digress.
I just don't get what you mean when you say that "Lion is a huge step in the consume-as-much-as-possible direction, which, for someone who prefers to create, is a bad thing, and Mountain Lion will only make that worse." Can you explain?
I use it for pretty much the same things your wife uses it for. And I like most of the things I've seen of Mountain Lion, although not the extra FaceBook and Twitter integration. I will upgrade for sure.

Can you play Flight of the Amazon Queen on it?
I ditched that one for an iPhone long ago. And I'm still alive, so Apple can't be all bad.
Such a pity that it has come to this. You can't make a smartphone without infringing patents. That's not entirely what they were meant for.
And he will keep rephrasing the question until you say Yes by accident.

There have been tests with automatic speed enforcement, and the subjects said it was very relaxing to not be able to go faster than the speed limit.
I bet you don't like Obamacare, do you?

LOL :)
Of course we should, just to show we can. We'll worry about other things later.
Why did this even make it to the home page? That door is so open you can't kick it in anymore.

I use Lion and I never noticed that.
I can do that too. What's the big deal?
I must admit that I missed that, yes. Do you have a link?
Amazing. Don't you have work to do or something?
Exactly. I don't see what the fuss is about. We've had one for about 10 years at work so it's nothing new.
That's why I dumped my N900 for an iPhone.
The keyword here being Germany. They have no humour there and they don't know what 'entertainment' is.
I always switch that off in the preferences.
