    linux especially needs to offer the GUI as the primary interface for EVERYTHING

    Idiot. Linux does offer the GUI as the primary interface for everything, but you will need to wipe your own ass, sorry.

    The light-switch is one of the end-user interfaces for electricity in the house. The wiring behind it is better left to the experts. It's dangerous for the non-initiated to fiddle with it.

    Especially if the light stops working because the circuit breaker tripped because you were using your vacuum cleaner, hair dryer and XBox at the same time. Definitely better call in an electrician, because opening up the breaker panel door is not something an end-user should ever do.

    Speaking of Powershell, it is more than a little amusing how the percentage of admins that care about it rounds to zero in spite of all the hype we heard from Microsoft droids a few years back. Microsoft chalks up yet another big fat fail in its quest to stay relevant.

    Google searches aren't CLI any more than this comment text box is.

    You're full of crap. Don't know know about "site:" etc? The difference between the Google search box and a bash command line is, one is interpreted as a search command, the other as a unix executable.

    Actually, Apple has found that their most profitable product is reality distortion fields, so that is what they're going to build and sell from now on.

    And Apple will ramp up its spinmod production.

    You're not a good Apple customer, you will be gone soon enough. Because you actually have a brain.

    The people who make good Apple customers are the same ones who like to have the hood of their car welded shut.

    You shoot that off as a derogatory comment...

    I do, and it's aimed at you.

    Because you have source code to it and you can make it do new things because of that, while also learning something.

    There are any number of reasons why a developer may not be making much money.

    The real issue comes up when the percentage of iApp developers making money rounds to zero. I will tell you who is making money from all that developer effort: Apple. Period.

    iApp makers are mostly not making money and carriers don't like Apple grabbing all the margin. Bad news.

    And why can't you open an email in a new tab? Gmail's interface is actually crap, but Hotmail's is way, way, way worse.

    Actually, I use Exim and it's about the same difficulty setting up as Postfix. But it isn't at all easy especially considering you have to set up reverse DNS too, which just might push the envelope of your garden variety geek.

    That would be Steve "Twinkletoes" Ballmer you are referring to?

    the tablets are coming on strong all non Windows. the Wintel ecosystem is in serious trouble, that's why Balmer is doing Windows 8. He's taking aggressive moves while there still is something to defend.

    Ballmer is doing stupid things that only accelerate Microsoft's fall. I love it.
