8890182 - POS is Point of Sale, not Piece of Shit. 8888827 - Apple does have a history of using the DMCA against things they do not like. You may not like it, but facts are facts. 8888863 - In context it isn't a troll.
People don't write software for MacOS because Apple will compete with them.
Why do you think the likes of Adobe are scaling down their Mac product line? Apple are trying to have their lunch. Why bother writing software to bolster your enemy?
One of the reasons they may not have heard about linux is because vietnam is a fucked up country. Witness what happend over Easter when a group of Christians prayed in public.
We are talking about the same people who developed a multimillion dollar game on the same systems they used to check their email.
If they didn't have the brains to buy a seperate computer for each dev and hook it up to a KVM switch|Seperate Display|Display with builtin input switching....
Me thinks they have a slight problem thinking things thru.
If I am obscuring the facts than so is apple. It is listed as a reason/feature/hook/shinything to get people to pay 29.95 for QuickTime Pro.
The typical mac users isn't going to roll their own using XCode, they are going to pay the xtra to apple, which isn't exacly on the up and up. At least in my opinion.
But, this makes a new record, some of my less than glowing posts about apple haven't been moded down yet!
Since I was posting in response to all the/bots saying that real was a company just out to make money I thought I would provide a counter example. That other apps provide fullscreen functionality isn't material to this discussion which I was limiting to discussion of the official apple quicktime player.
Which, I'll give you a clue for free, does cost 29.95 for that ability.
Please look at the SEC statements for detailed info on apples cost structure. The would not be able to fund their R&D and Ad budgets if they dropped their prices to match their competitions. If what you where saying was the way that Apple operated they would sell their computers for less.

Why has /. broken a story?

I have been married for multiple years so what are you talking about?

WTF are you talking about?
Does your custom app cost more than 700-1300 per terminal?

Well that is because the people that 'run' /. don't really do anything. Hell, that haven't updated the oSx icon nor will they create a SCO catagory.
Why don't you just make them from scratch?
But people in Texas could still keep up with the Cowboys by watching Cops and AMW.
Yes, and HP paid for that fucking bonus by firing 1000's of employees and gutting their R&D staff.
By the time this hurts HP she will be gone and someone else will have to clean up her mess.
Because people do not take as good care of items they rent as items they own.
Please post again using smaller words.
Thanks!
Why would anyone want to take a laptop to a sporting event? On first glance this appears to be as smart as shipping 50lbs bags of dog food via UPS.

The POS cost, more than likely, includes the costs of the apps to do the POS work. The apple price doesn't.

Your solution doesn't secure a job for the IT person that authorized this purchase with apple in the near future when they resign...
There is no asterisk...
And Steve Jobs will never allow that model to change as it would, in his eyes, prove that he was wrong in the past.
And I do not see him doing that.
He is damn near as fucked in the head as Ellison is.
Being able to damn near own and work to death your slaves/labor helps lower prices also.
So does dumping your toxic waste untreated into the environment.

After your LSD wears off would you please explain what any of that means? The zen plays music just like the ipod as in with in 15%-20% of its size.
