Have to wait another day to scream "homophobic" and get your panties in a bunch.
Ouch!
Seeing all the true colors of some of the drones who lurk on/. *was* kind of entertaining.
I guess that for many, sadly, their lives must be really boring, enough that they seem to be perpetually trying to imagine somebody---anybody, even a corporation---really gives a shit about who or what they fuck and suck.
Sorry: in general, nobody cares anymore.
But, uh, enjoy your windmill jousting.
I'm a troll and this is flame bait; don't bother responding and feel free to ignore me.
Only a forum of mostly homophobic phobics would render the above comment "flame bait."
Half the lame comments on this forum would be flame bait if placed in a context of *mostly* homophobic readers.
Anywhere else? Ignored. Hardly *anything* really substantive or enlightening here, really.
Petulant whining from people feeling *very* impotent---obviously.
The commenter above was merely telling it like it is.
And, #4 (happens, regardless): taxpayers get stuck with the bill for everything.
But, hey, it's OK. Certainly there must be *somebody* who's "rich" [based on the fact they make *more* money than I do] to tax first!
Your sarcasm (and humor) are both noted and appreciated by me, one who likes to think of himself as at least somewhat thick-skinned and reasonably enlightend.
However, I might remind you that most of the folks who lurk here and post here (regardless of how high their IQ's and how extensive their [coughing] *formal* education) seem to want to conveniently forget how their messiah, Obama, was the one who signed the NDAA---after adding even *more* scarily oppressive language to it.
The irony *and* the hypocrisy are not lost on me.
In fact, I do appreciate them greatly.
Many of these same people are the ones who railed against "dubya" for happening to be in office when a Democratic *majority* in Congress passed the Patriot Act.
Whether stupid, ignorant, or patently partisan, I'll let you decide. I know the ones to whom this applies will be the most angry when reading this.
If the shoe fits...
In any case, thanks for the good laugh and the reminder that not everybody posting here is a, uh, tool.
But, but... is Amazon not the victim of the Apple/Publisher alliance that led to the DoJ taking action with Anti-trust litigation?
Time for a facepalm?
Not likely.
Remember the 3.5 floppy? Gone. Apple was the first.
The "Me Too" guys (all the usual supspects, Dell, ASUS, HP, et all) soon followed. Miss that much?
Remember the Optical Drive? Poof. Disappearing. Apple was the first.
The "Me Too" guys? Those "Ultrabooks" shamelessly aping the MacBook Air?
There are other "firsts" from Apple, as well. These are but two of the most obvious examples. Apple may be the innovative and the *first* to do a lot of stuff, but they don't have a "patent" on taking bold steps to *not* include certain "standard" featuresâ"on the road to setting *new* standards.
Just saying. In case you are really clueless, not a troll, or bad with sarcasm.
I know this is completely off topic, but pretentious assholes like this writer are the reason people hate you Apple Fanboi idiots.
When I woke up this morning, I was just a writer and tech investor, tucked behind the warm glow of my 27-inch Apple monitor.
Did you really need to specify it was a 27" APPLE monitor? Did it add anything to that sentence, other than to underscore you're a prick? No, it didn't. The author could just as easily have said "the warm glow of my monitor." and had the same effect. But instead he had to underscore it was an APPLE monitor... like it was something SPECIAL and UNIQUE! Like he was COOL for having an Apple.
On a recent morning, my wife was busy with several work related tasks on her Macbook Air when our two year-old daughter
And the author does it again... couldn't just say "Laptop" or "Computer," but had to say Macbook Air! Again, like it was unique or special. News flash! Lots of people have those things and they can be acquired by anyone wishing to do so by traveling to your nearest web browser, Apple Store, Best Buy or other purveyor of overpriced shiny shit.
So just a note, it's exactly this kind of shit that makes people who haven't fallen under the spell of bullshit that Jobs has convinced hipster idiots that Apple products are so cool that they need to be identified separately from everything else. You are unique for using Apple Products, just like the other ten million (or however many) people who use the exact same product.
And ironically, you (with your tell-tale, angst-ridden rant), are "just like the other ten million" Apple hatersâ"neither speical nor unique!
Rich.
Brain...*already* locked up.
Isn't the Market Share Myth getting old? Does anybody [I mean, besides MicroSoft apologists] *really* believe it?
I mean, really, the argument is bogus.
"If Linux had... 95%"
Well, Mr. Rocket Scientist, what share of *its* respective market does *Apache* have? You know, on servers? Compared to IIS? I thought so. You don't want to talk about it do you?
Your own logic paints you into a corner and leaves you feeling kind of foolish.
So, what is it? Market Share significant or not?
Code is King. Code is, in the end, all that matters.
Software either works, or it doesn't.
People who cite "user stupidity" frequently and ad nauseam are almost invariably MCSE Monkeys and MS Shills who can't seem to face the reality that *some* programmers are doing their job better than others.
You can cite Market Share all you want to. It's not going to make it the truth. Apache is just one inconvenient Truth you'll have to deal with and be embarrassed by.
Go run and hide, now.

I'm just as sure that most Muslims don't care the Mohammad was a pedophile.

Most Successful *Windows* Phone Company.
Yeah, and we know how well that's working out for them!
Think they'll survive any longer than RIM? The "most successful" Blackberry manufacturer?
Troll here often? [there, I gave you a crumb]
/. has ads? For real? I've never seen one.
No, really, not even one.
