Also, where's the responsibility on the part of the organization to show that they *HAVE* a secure coding practice, they don't simply outsource $2 coders, and they have a program in place to review security issues?
Again, to my original point, you can put together a nice v6 engine car that doesn't cost as much as a BMW. So go do it. Why bitch about people buying a BMW?
I also noticed you left out interesting details like noise, form factor, look and feel, a proven IPS panel, you know, all put together in a nice box with an OS that people actually like using. And $199 for the Windows license for your home made box.
As the Dell and HP links showed, when companies try to do the same thing, they cannot reach the price point Apple has. So don't give me the bullshit that Apple is more expensive than an equivalently configured $brandname, because *IT FUCKING IS NOT*. Lenovo doesn't even have anything remotely close to the iMac yet.
From this simple search, it can be seen that you are full of shit. Even getting a more expensive iMac with a 3.4Ghz i7 is only $2200, and it includes a 1GB Nvidia Graphics instead of the Intel Integrated Graphics. http://store.apple.com/us/configure/MD096LL/A?
You should probably not compare a cheap clunker to a BMW.
In your case, don't even look at a Mac. Compare a low end ${brand} versus a high end ${brand}. For example, look at a cheap Dell, then look at the high end Dell.
Do that, instead of complaining about Apple. You'll find more satisfaction in your life.
Then call everyone out. The letter OP mentioned had nothing to do with Apple at all. To link it to Apple just means you're seriously biased and believe that all the evils of the world is Apple's fault.
Err, it's more like how the fuck did he link genetically modified organisms, drug money, libor and housing bubble to iPhone versus Samsung Android phones?!
If you're playing that game, then *EVERYTHING* is linked, and then there's nothing left to discuss.
If you don't see that, then what kind of crack are *you* smoking?

So... $50 for a hard drive... save even more!!! :)
So, instead of a $50 hard drive + $20 for Mountain Lion, you spent a few hundred bucks on a slower computer?
Still, it's mobile, which is a plus I guess.
but but but it's open source!!! Even the KGB uses it!!!
Though, they did comb through the source and strip everything they didn't like out first.
And why not just install Chrome.app?

Plenty of other different browsers too.
Seriously? Who's going to consent?

Funny how Apple *ONLY* uses iPhone cameras when they are showing off the iPhone camera. Truth in advertising, what a strange concept.
I forgot, was the the camera where the ads used "simulated images" or something? It was so good that they dare not show it on TV?

But hey, continue talking rot.
Because Samsung like tossing away a multi-billion dollar contract...? And have lots of unused capacity...?
Why are you trying to talk sense on the Internet? Do I have to go over the rules with you again...?
The solution is very simple. Don't buy a Mac if you want to put parts together.
I don't go out and bitch about how BMW forces me to get leather seats and how I have to pay extra for the three letters.
Life is more than that. Learn to enjoy it.
Really? Lets take that for a test run shall we?
Standard 27" iMac is $1800, has 2.9Ghz i5, 8GB, 1TB, 512MB Video.

Dell's closest I could find was one XPS One 27 Touch. $1600, 2.7Ghz i5, 6GB, 1TB, Intel Integrated Graphics.

HP's closest I could find was the HP Z1 Workstation, $2150, Xeon E3 3.3Ghz, 4GB, 500GB, Intel Integrated Graphics.

Funny how everything turns into Apple's fault, because Intel, Samsung and other companies don't manufacture in China.
Seriously, what kind of crack are you smoking?
uh, read what the guy wrote? He said yeah, it was a mistake and then goes on to explain what happened and what he was trying to do.
Like they were all over Microsoft with the RROD, sure, whatever.
Why are you presenting facts as if it matters to these idiots?
They just want to wank off bitching about Apple. Let them.
What's a lower UID supposed to show?
*shrug* go look at the reviews on newegg. plural of anecdote may not be data, but it definitely draws an interesting line.
I'm willing to believe "enterprise" seagate drives have a different QC/design.
The consumer variants really and truly suck.
But having these suck means they're not getting my money when I perform enterprisey buys at a $7b company.
during black friday this year, newegg had some seagate 3TBs for sale for $80 each. I bought 3.
1x doa
1x died within 2 days
1x still going strong.
Seagate is the new maxtor.
Had to. On black Friday, I bought 3 seagate 3TB drives from Newegg ($80 each, had to!!!! :))
1 was DOA.
1 died after 2 days
1 still going strong after 4 weeks of nonstop writes and deletes.
Called newegg up, and returned the 2 bad ones. Ugh, seagate really really sucks now.
