  1. Re:Well on What Will the Browser Look Like In Five Years? · · Score: 1

    I know you hate the idea, but Apple is a leading browser maker. And you missed the OP's point.

    And if she quits, she can find something else to do, or you will support her as necessary. There's a fairly large difference between the UK and China. In China, these people would have absolutely nothing instead of just a tiny bit more than nothing.

    The only war the US has fought in the past 100 years in its own defense was World War II.

    Or, owners of iPhones realize that your narrow definition of the term smartphone purposely excludes the iPhone because you have an unreasoning hatred of Apple.

    Basically, you're a bigot and an asshole and your definitions don't actually matter to real people.

    The proper solution is to bash your head in and point to you as example when other programmers write shitty code.

    Unfortunately, that organization was the first victim. It was a kind of suicide, really.

    You are confusing two definitions of the word right. And you're probably too stupid to understand.

    You are a stupid asshole. The "right of the mob" is what determines which mass-markteded products are developed and sold. This has ALWAYS been the case and always will be. It's a tautology, you idiot.

    No one is dictating what you get to use. At worst, they are dictating what products will exist. You are, for the most part, able to choose amongst them.

    One, Apple does not have a monopoly in the legal sense. Two, it wouldn't matter if they did. They are not using any perceived monopoly to restrict the market outside of their own products, thus their actions are not illegal.

    Go develop a Wii game in Objective C and get it approved by Nintendo. Have fun with that.

    You are another idiot who doesn't know why Microsoft was convicted of abuse of a monopoly. It had nothing to do with browsers or Java, despite what Netscape or Sun would have you believe. It was because of the OEM deals that effectively forced OEMs to license Windows no matter what.

    Apple does not force anyone to sell their hardware, much less their software. In fact, they even opened their own stores so that no one else need do so.

  12. Re:I'm conflicted on Will Adobe Sue Apple Over Flash? · · Score: 1

    In the U.S. it is not illegal to be or have a monopoly.

    If you believe Apple has a monopoly in any sense of the term, you have to show how they are abusing it to harm the market before the government will get involved.

    The store owners do pay Google (or HTC) for the phones. That's why they are called resellers.

    No they wouldn't. Google wouldn't block the ISP at the router. They would serve up a page explaining the problem to the viewer, suggesting that to comply with their ISP's wishes, Google will have to start charging the viewer directly instead of providing the free service they have enjoyed until now.

    People hate being told they have to pay for stuff they've been getting for free, especially when their neighbor on a different ISP still has it for free.

  15. Re:Not a Surprise on Apple Approves Opera Mini For iPhone · · Score: 1

    Even if Apple had a 100% monopoly, what they are doing would not be illegal.

    I really hope you get over your irrational hatred someday. It's not healthy.

  16. Re:Ideapad U1 on Google Preparing iPad Rival? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Full Disclosure:

    I have a strong personal distaste for Apple products due to high price tag with less features.

    In other words, you've decided to hate something because it's not designed with you in mind.

    What a loser.

    Apple brought smartphones to the average consumer. That was a revolution. It doesn't matter if the hardware (or software) was evolutionary.

    You are fucking stupid. The tools run on Mac OS X or Windows, not the iPhone or XBox. Therefore, you need a Mac or a PC running Windows to run the tools. That's what he OP said, and you've completely missed it. Twice. You are actually fairly well beyond fucking stupid.

    It would be better to invent people who are not total idiots and assholes regarding proper hygiene. Day to day, there are no diseases you can pick up through touch that your immune system cannot handle with ease. Unless, of course, you are a total idiot that never exercises his immune system.

    What does that have to do with the Iraq war? The war was never about liberating Iraq. It was a personal vendetta against Saddam. Now it's just America trying not to look like (any more like) assholes.

    All Government is evil. Perhaps not literally so, but it's best to operate under this assumption. After all, the tendency of Government is to increase its power, and however trite the saying may be now, it is still true that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

    It's quite likely that this is done due to manufacturing defects that prevent some chips from running at the maximum speed. Testing is done to find the highest stable speed, and it's altered fix that speed as the max.
