  1. Re:AppleCare is great... on Apple Care Efficiency When Macs Break? · · Score: 1

    there are always stories like this... I have a few... But the millions of people who go through apple stores don't experience this much crap. I dunno, I just like to give them the benefit of the doubt. If it was more than one time out of 20 that some crappy stuff happened, I'd consider other options, but Apple's service (for me) is usually great.

    2. you missed the part of your definition that said "Monopolies are characterized by ... a lack of viable substitute goods."

  4. Re:What's with all the [edits]? on Bill Gates Brags About Vista, Reacts to Apple's Latest Ads · · Score: 1
    it probably looked like:

    Yes, although security is a bitch. You're talkin'bout the fact that there have been some security updates already for Windows Vista. This is exactly the way it should work. When somebody comes to us we've got the shit before there is any exploit. So it's totally according to plan, and that's why we have the whole Windows Update thing. We made it way harder for guys to do exploits. The number will be way less because we've done some dramatic things in the code base. Apple hasn't done any of those things.
  5. Wii on Innovative, Original Games Have No Chance · · Score: 1

    Nintendo needs to get Okami ported to the Wii, and then hire all the developers (or vice versa)...

    I love Okami, because it makes its graphics look really good and succeeds, instead of "realistic" and failing.

    Just like I love the Wii, because it makes games new and exciting, instead of "hyper realistic"

    Of course, I don't have an HDTV, Maybe after getting one of those, and a couple of years for PS3 titles to mature, I might get me a PS3... Until then Wii Baby!

  6. Re:I hate to point this out... on Apple is DRM's Biggest Backer · · Score: 1

    I'm sure you contacted Apple to try to sort this out...

    Any effort made by companies to support more than just microsoft properly is a good thing in my books.


    Here's to hoping that Adobe catches up in this dept. soon.

  10. I would like to see... on The End of the iPod Clickwheel · · Score: 1

    ...one article about an apple patent that didn't forgonely conclude the doom of the UI/watever that it might replace.

    Neo Office does not look native at all, you can tell, like Firefox it is a cross platform app that was written by PC programers and then made to run on a Mac...

  14. Re:VW +iPod = Lackluster Integration on iPod Car Integration Reality Check at Apple Expo · · Score: 1

    I know germans don't like cup holders... and iPod control on the steering wheel is the equivalent of being buried alive in cupholders

    wait, so "evil" is having power?

    Is "evil" the same as just plain evil?

    would an all-powerful, benevolent being be "evil"?

  17. Re:What is the point of this article? on Another Apple Special Event Coming Soon · · Score: 2, Insightful

    on a more serious (albeit off topic) note, it would be nice if Applications stayed Universal and Apple just sold people the fastest offering from Freescale/IBM or Intel/AMD...

  20. Re:How it took over? on How iPods Took Over the World · · Score: 1

    wow... You paid 200 dollars more than I did for crappy play time (I get 10-12 hours per charge, you have to carry extra batteries and change them out) and crappy capacity (1 GB? I got 60...)

    I'm sorry.

  23. iTunes iSbogus on Improve Your iPod with Rockbox · · Score: 1

    Kind of funny... I didn't know the artists got 8-14 cents a song... that sounds like a really good deal for the artists to me... and the relatively little apple does for its share is kind of expensive... paying for all that bandwidth

  24. Re:Dual boot? How about virtualization, too! on Going To Boot Camp · · Score: 1

    It was odd for me, I was just poking around looking for anything and saw the one that looked different. Clicking on it revealed that it was SigmaTel... I happened to have read that was the Audio Device Driver, so I installed it... After that, when I went back to the main window, all the "Generic Device Drivers" had names... Not sure what happened.

    Sorry I don't know more about Windows... I could be much more precise if I knew what some of the things I am talking about were called...

    I got access to sound by fiddling around... you want to install the SigmaTel Audio driver.
