Just because there are terminally brain-dead idiots who think focus-follows-mouse is a good idea doesn't mean that Windows 7 is doing anything wrong. Only an X Window fan would think that requiring a mouse to navigate between windows would be a good idea. Hell, even Apple doesn't do anything that stupid.
Half the benefit of buying the government is that no legal action will be taken against them. What actually needs to happen is that, starting from the CEOs and moving down, each employee of a media company is systematically tortured to death. It shouldn't take more than a few thousand deaths before the remainder get the idea.
As long as copyright law remains the immoral and unethical mess that it has become, anything a copyright holder wishes to do to enforce copyright law is apriori unreasonable. In other words, upholding an unreasonable system is unreasonable, no matter what the specific action is.
You are a fucking little moron. It's not illegal for an ISP to refuse you service, just like it's not illegal for a store owner to kick you out if your younger sister's best friend called him a poopy head.
The ISP does not require proof of wrongdoing. That you think so is proof of your stupidity.
If you never signed a contract with your ISP, they can terminate your service because the CEO has gas and is in a bad mood. In other words, for any reason at all, or for no reason at all.
Sue all you like. Judges need a good laugh now and then.
Who says they've gotten enough? Who says they aren't working on it? Why would anyone rational think that they aren't? Have you ever debugged a hardware problem specific to a fraction of a percent of users without having one of the crashing units in front of you for testing? You are assuming that there's a hardware fault. Perhaps its software and Apple doesn't have a way to distill the common set of software across all reporters of the issue.
Stop hating for the sake of hate. It's not healthy.
You are moron. Your blind hatred has led you to make a completely illogical statement.
Having 500 units of every Mac to test on doesn't help one bit if they don't exhibit any problems. There is no reason to believe that Apple doesn't test on as many Macs as possible, but clearly not every physical unit is identical to every other. There are myriads of reasons as to why something might crash on one unit and not another of the same make and model.
What kind of fucked-up piece of shit are you? Since when is a screwdriver not a functional object? GCC is as valid a target for patent suits as any other software.
Google has no legal standing to defend OEMs from patent lawsuits. You apparently have no idea how even a screwdriver works, so I am not surprised that you don't understand patents either. Patents have to be licensed by users of a product that contains patented components, unless the manufacturer of the components have a transferable license. Unless Google establishes such a license with MS, they cannot protect anyone from lawsuits.
Google is not evil for not doing anything to protect their OEMs. You are, however, a complete moron.
I can not see a moral, nor ethical, reason for honoring IP laws in the US. I've held this view for a while, but articles such as this simply reinforce the idea. Every citizen has a moral obligation to ignore laws which have been bought and paid for by corporations. Every single politician in Washington has accepted bribes and they have made sure that the Supreme Court allows them under the name "campaign contributions". The entire system is corrupt and no longer has a mandate to govern.
Who defines the "common" devices? How do you handle something like an Android or iDevice, where the orientation can be changed? PDFs are not a good format for anything destined for a screen instead of paper. That computer monitors are (mostly) large enough to display most of the common paper size (letter/A4) is fortunate, but should not be relied upon.
Real Time in OS terms just means that there is a guaranteed upper-bound to latency. That upper-bound could be measured in seconds, but that still fits the definition. Real Time doesn't mean "going really fast".
You say that you "don't need a VM for that", while at the same time telling us that you're using LLVM. You don't really understand initial-isms very well, do you?
I really don't know what you are referring to, but now-a-days CUPS is owned by Apple, which may have had more to do with any UI changes than users' opinions.
Linux is one of the most widely used kernels in the world. I would hardly say it's failed just because you take issue with the way Linus describes its (or really, his) design philosophy. The fact is that Linux is very stable and scalable and it's used on a very wide variety of devices. It's successful to the point that Linus is obviously correct and you are a bigoted piece of shit who thinks he should be more important to Linus than anyone else.
I find it amusing how you expect IT to bend over backwards, and that you can not entertain the notion that not only is the customer not always right, but sometimes he's a dipshit who is a poster boy for the idea that stupidity should be painful.
It is not legal, ethical nor moral to give IT a set of legal mandates and then expect them to bend over backwards to ignore those mandates when it suits you.

The GP does not have a low UID.
You make it sound like Apple is doing something dirty.
No, it's not.
It would be like saying " The CIA, known as Langley...". And guess what... that's done too, though it's not as coloquel(sp?) as Scotland Yard.
OpenVPN uses SSL as its encryption layer. No worse performance than visiting an HTTPS site.

What happens when a hater doesn't put forth an argument?

If you're a developer and you allow an editor to line-wrap your code, I don't want to use your software.
Baseless hatred is a character flaw. I'd have that looked at if I were you.

Russian roulette could also be a multi-billion $ industry.

Not everyone gets to work for Apple.
