OK. And how should I do that? No seriously, how exactly would you like to see me accept responsibility?
I intended that final statement to be interpreted as either to be figurative or sarcasm. Anything else is simply a misunderstanding. If you were offended... well, I'm not going to assume anything at this point.
Who cares if Microsoft steals an idea from Apple, or vice versa? Would it really affect either of them? Say a VCR manufacture steals an idea from a refrigerator manufacture. Does that make the VCR a better refrigerator? NO. If Microsoft steals an idea from Apple it's not going to make Windows a better Mac. All it does is makes Windows better. Same from the Apple perspective. "It's not a PC, it's a Macintosh." as the old adage goes. Which means you wouldn't use a Mac for 'personal computing'. Take a look at any Fortune 500 company (except Apple) and you'll see that Windows (ie. PCs) is used by 'Knowledge Workers'. Macs are used by people who can't tell the difference between a VCR and a refrigerator.
Whether to go to college or not depends on where you want to end up. If you see yourself as the guru that sits down in the basement and does only techy stuff then a college education and degree probably won't make that much of a difference. If you're ambitious and want to climb that ladder to CIO then you're gonna want a degree in MIS/ITM,if not CS or CE, because most CIO's also have an MBA in addition to the BSxx.

What do you care? I already got modded down.
Geez! It's like people never heard of sarcasm before.
