Personally I'd be glad to not work for you. Not just for the tone of your reply, but the fact that you'd suggest firing someone for a mostly anonymous comment on a tech site...
Shhhh BasilBrush, he just hates Apple, nothing to see here. Don't worry about it, all your points were correct, you've just been fighting a pointless war with a troll.
Yes likely. Google is the content, IE is the eyeballs: you've got to cater to the content or nobody will use your browser. Youtube is big enough that if IE didn't support it, IE would probably be hurt more than Google today. (Not the case a few years ago even)
Oh god... I am totally not shocked to see that the bio on your homepage lists your occupation as philosopher. If you were a software developer I would have been quite confused by your statements...
I'm much the same. I develop high performance application hosting platforms, in Linux (and to a lesser extent fBSD) but my work computer is a Mac. I actually need my desktop to be productive no matter what. Guess what, once you grow past the oMG Steve Jobs Is Teh Evil crap, the Mac is a great UNIX platform to do your day to day work on...
Wow, by midnight you have half left (most of the time)... so you might almost get TWO days of battery life! That is *really* selling me on the phone....
"IMO, Apple is killing themselves slowly, but killing themselves."
Except quarter after quarter they keep doing better. Sorry to break this to you, but outside of the Slashdot circle, Apple is doing gangbusters. You (I) may not like it, but stop fooling yourself.

He's just an anti-Apple troll, don't feed him. Metadata won't break any sane player....

Google uses h264 more than MS and Apple.... Oh right we're hating on Apple here, sorry I forgot the hivemind-de-jeur

Quicktime just acts as a container for h264 nowadays anyway...
Doesn't matter. I first post on every slashdot article with the same untrue flamebait and get modded up by the hivemind. Sun rise, sun set.
Yea I agree with this, and it wasn't always the case. XKCD used to be mostly hit for me, but the last couple years the smugness has been overwhelming.

Seriously, buy a machine built in the last 5 years and it will definitely support USB keys emulated as floppy disks in the bios.
Seriously? Handing resumes out on floppies is a great way to remain unemployed.
