Not all religions are Islam. Judaism does not impose penalties on non-Jews, though of course, like any other body of law, it does impose penalties on those under its purview.
You're an asshole and you're stupid. A winning combination on slashdot, to be sure.
Apple doesn't call FreeBSD "iOS". They call iOS "iOS". Makes sense, huh? More specifically, the FreeBSD parts are a layer over a Mach microkernel, and parts of userland. Apple doesn't call it FreeBSD becausee it isn't. Just like OpenBSD isn't FreeBSD either, despite the fact that they may share some code.
Similarly, Android refers to the entire package, which happens to include a Linux kernel. It's no different than Debian or Red Hat in that regard.
I have a first-gen iPod Touch, and I will be quite upset if the only successor when it finally dies is an iPhone that requires a data plan and a two year contract to be a usable device. I would also be upset if it cost more than the $200 I paid for a brand-new iPod Touch in 2008.
I know you're just a lying piece of crap, but just in case you're not... you need to stop buying Dell. I upgraded my older PC to Win 7 and it plays every game I throw at it perfectly. I don't have any DirectX 11 games; they are all 9 or 10. And this is on Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
Apple has the iPod Touch and iPad, along with its phones. It definitely has more iOS devices out there than any other hardware manufacturer has Android devices.
Size has never mattered. 1) Apple has no monopoly on any (reasonably defined) market. 2) Apple is not anti-competitive in any market in which it participates. There have always been PCs, audio players, phones and tablets that were not Apple's, and likely always will be.
Apple controls its own software and hardware, but it imposes no control on any other player. That's what makes your hypothetical question the wishful thinking of a rabid bigot.
You are an utter fucking moron. Please go back to your CGA graphics and leave us XGA users alone. We don't need your jealousy-induced insanity trying to convince us that an app designed for less than half the screen resolution is somehow just as good.
Not only that, but "consumer" water, gas and electricity may be run 24/7 without any complaint at all from the utilities. In fact, I would be surprised if water were the only one of the 3 not in constant use in most homes (during the winter, especially).
I don't understand anyone who doesn't understand how the total size of the United States fails to explain why dense urban centers are just as bad off as rural Utah.
I've never heard anyone say that they won't buy Apple for any reason other than cost. You live in your own little world of Apple haters, and I feel sorry for you.
At no time in recorded history did religion not exist, and some of our oldest recordings are religious in nature. Thus, at the very least one must agree that religion did not stop us from reaching this point, and it is equally impossible to demonstrate that we would have achieved even more, as a species, without it.
In conclusion, you're an anti-science idiot and asshole. Please go off and die.
You are an idiot because you have taken a quote from Jobs out of context so you could use it as a troll.
The browser that was current on Mac OS in 1997 was IE 4/5 (IE 5 was available in the first release of Mac OS X, not sure if it was available in '97). IE on the Mac was indeed a good browser, compared to other browsers of the era. IE did not share any (signficant) code between the Windows and Mac OS versions, but even the Windows versions (4 and 5) were not bad. Certainly better than Netscape 4!
Slashdot Mirror
Your argument is rather like saying that the TV show Big Bang Theory (or any TV show for that matter) because you don't have a TV.
Twice you posted this, and twice it makes zero sense. What exactly are you trying to say?
I hope you are tortured to death as an exmaple of what should happen to stupid people.

The Internet was never designed to be decentralized or unkillable. You are an ignorant shit.

I agree that it would be nice to have a better app-sharing facility, but it's not as if the current implementation is a secret.
Also, all i-Devices have a proper filesystem, they just chroot apps.
One other thought. Why the hell can't Thunderbird work with exchange properly if everyone else can?
Both Apple and Google license ActiveSync from MS.

Please kill yourself. Or better yet, give someone else some pleasure (for once) and let them kill you.
Of course it auto-renews. What kind of idiot are you?
I'd say you're a delusional fool. The Playbbok will be a big yawn in the market that Apple caters to, just like every other tablet to date.

Only in your deranged little mind were MS and Nokia "enemies". Get over yourself.

Wow, way to completely miss the point. If you got anyone pregnant, YOU would have nothing to abort, so you wouldn't have a choice to make. Idiot.
Why are you mentioning phones?
Capital punishment is quite different than the murder of foreign tourists.
But then, I suppose you believe that it's perfectly OK for a rabied bull-dog who has killed people to be let loose in the neighborhood.

It's not real GPS, as in, it doesn't receive and act on signals from the GPS satellites.
And if the GP really wants to spend a several grand to get the equivalent of the Retina display for a 9.7" screen, more power to him.
