ACER will always be bargain bin fodder... ditto Dell, i know three people that have Dell laptops and they all have had nightmarish issues with them: dead HD within 4 months, dead screen in 6 months, and the other was just dead after 9 months...
horse pucky! i know plenty of peeps who have the Old As Hell Wallstreet model and have zero issues with it, ditto the original iMac... so you are full of shit... Furthermore, i have many Macs ranging in age from 17 years old to one year old (including an original model iBook and a Lombard PowerBook) and they are all working fine and never required any maintenance! So, i'd say you are a LIAR.
while it is more than evident that you are a troll and should be ignored, i can't let your parade of ignorance go unremarked upon. SOCIALISM is ALIVE and quite well in many countries of the world, the scandinavian countries are quite socialist. COMMUNISM is not to be equated with socialism. the soviet union and the eastern bloc crumbled, yes, but there are other communist countries in the world that remain.
when will people understand that MS cries out to be bashed (it has a proven track-record of lies and heavy-handed biz tactics that have been adjudicated as illegal)... it is in fact MS's own fault that it garners such vehement hatred. if you do NOT bash MS there truly MUST be something wrong with you...
no, YOU are the fscking idiot... the poster was drawing a loose analogy... and that poster was quite correct to do so... if a witness in a trial is found lying once it is assumed that witness has no further credibility, period, and the witness is impeached. that is basically what that poster was stating in his rape analogy and if you were not such a ragingly ignorant fool you would know that. but i digress...
you REALLY should check your facts... it was the "Erodium P.U.36 Explosive Space Disintegrator" that was employed by the nefarious Marvin the Martian...
Referring to the Dr. Suess book, "Horton Hears a Who", we can confirm that reading page 12 backwards reveals the ETA of Armageddon (end of life as we know it), and you are all wrong in your estimates. See for yourself, it's in the book.
hogshit! New York state (and city) have had very very dramatic drops in violent crime and the laws are stiff on concealed weapons... you COULD look it up, surely the FBI crime stats per state would be enlightening.
you gun nuts, i swear. like another poster stated previously: "you're idiots. no, really."
Yanks: best team that money can buy... and killing off baseball in MOST of the rest of this country (and oh yes, Canada too) pitch? profitsharing in baseball like the other big sports leagues (NFL, NBA), there's yer damn pitch! Hey George, can you put a Yankee uniform on one of these machines? Give it a shot, old boy! (sheesh)
No... YOU don't matter because YOU, sir, are a braindead moron... There, I feel better. Yes, I would have said that to your face. So SUE me, and call it flamebait in the first degree.
It might well be said that I am addicted to the Mac platform and yet... 1394 is aka FireWire and I pay my damned taxes using a 1040 form... and would not think of using windows unless under extreme duress, it's simply a philosophical thing. Linux, I'm all for it.
"And if we don't like electricity, we don't have to use it. For the vast majority of people (especially businesses) in this country, there simply is no alternative. That's the nature of monopoly, that's the way Microsoft wants it, and that's why their expansion is a bad thing."
you dolt, CHOICE is being ELIMINATED not so slowly and goddamned surely.
people that defend MS, on any level, are the worst dort of deluded dopes... they just don't see that the emperor has NO clothes.

thing is, you do NOT know her true voice... i remember an icon from a previous era, Madonna, whose voice was anything but little-girlish and yet with the help of variable pitch controls on the ol' Studer A800 and assorted outboard signal processing devices, Madonna's voice in the song "Like a Virgin" (for example) to sound oh so pre-pubescent and sweet... i heard her do that song live and she had a decidedly un-girlish and quite husky voice... i am not saying that she did not have a certain talent, but she and Mz. Speerz owe MUCH to recording engineers and producers.
and if these people give their opinions as mac users that they want a product, how can that be false? they are speaking for themselves in stating that they want that product whatever it may be... you are simply a disgusting liar.
IT IS NOT TACITLY RUN BY APPLE you stupid moron... tacit, in the sense you are using it means this:"Implied by or inferred from actions or statements" APPLE makes no actions NOR staements to imply or infer they are behind the MacEvangeList, NOR does the MacEvangeList claim to have any official association with Apple, AND THE ONLY CONNECTION THE TWO HAVE IS THAT PEOPLE ON THE MACEVENGELIST USE MACS, PERIOD... YOU DOLT.
can you blame Ma and Pa Shareholder and their 50 shares of WeEatTheWorldUpAndSpreadMisery, Inc.? No, you can't... so who is to blame? could it be that the very idea of a publicly held corporation with shares for sale on a stock market can be the thing that is to blame? could it be that a stock market itself gives corporations a license to do whatever is necessary to maximize profits? could it be that being able to sell shares of a company therefore gives that company the right to steal/rape/pillage in the name of the public, i.e., their shareholders? to quote Steve Martin, "Naaaaaaaaaaaw!" (Goodnight, Chet... Goodnight, David)
the phrase is laissez-faire (french,"laissez" is the imperative form and means literally "you leave" and faire is the verb "to make, or to do", together in this hyphenated form they roughly mean "left alone to do (as it will)")... anyway... corporations exist, as do all companies, to make money through providing a product/service to the consumer. money is known as 'capital'. capital owes allegiance ONLY to itself, not to any community, nation, nor ecology... if left unbridled by regulations, imperfect as those regulations may be and as imperfect as the governments that impose those regulations may be, capital will do WHATEVER necessary (including acting more often than not in the worst interests of the community, nation, and ecology in which it operates if that maximizes its profits) to acquire more capital and accrue a larger piece of the market and/or create more markets in which to expand... government may do the bidding of the corporate entity (said entity has long since been given nearly all the rights of an individual by our soopreem kourt) due to the fact that government representatives have been seduced by lobbyists in the employ of corporate interests and major amounts of money, often as not this lobbying results in regulation that is watered down, neutered, if not completely hollow. people who blame government are patently foolish and know nothing about our Constitution... read the preamble again, or read it once if you've never read it before. far right libertarians are simplistic and just plain wrong-headed when they dance around statements to the effect that government is the root of evil.

NOW you're talking... the TiBook has the best feature set for the money... nothing compares, period... best laptop available.
so, the only way to get people to understand that Apple stands behind their products is to have them buy one and see for themselves? YES.
