Mostly because most of the wind went out of their sails once an Intel processor (for desktop/laptop) and a Unix-based OS went onto Apple products. Now it's just trivialities.
It's a touchpad interface with no mouse interface, that would be the reason for the lack of mouse support... The SDK isn't the problem, it's just not made for a mouse. The same as a car isn't made for submarine duty, and a desktop computer isn't for cell service.
As far as iPads with microphone headsets, that's been out since.. well.. since bluetooth was on iPad. I've been using one since iPad 1.
Maybe they should invent some keyboard.. some typing device.. that uses radio waves to somehow transfer keystrokes.. hmmm... and perhaps the radio waves could be shared with other devices as well... when oh when will this tech come... (/sarcasm)
We're counting the things the company is managing, not what they've made in the last decade. Even if that's the case, you're off by quite a few. Remember, they made eMacs, iMacs, Powerbooks, ibooks, and 2 AppleTVs.
Nope, but the key is to keep your chin up and take everything life throws at you. It's hard, but a positive outlook is all there is. (I feel your pain)

If it's anything like today's, it's definitely not going to be had forever. The usual lifespan of a prosthetic leg is 5-10 years. We're JUST coming out of the infancy of prosthetic engineering... ugh

Odd, my Macbook pro wasn't overpriced for what it was... unless you're comparing it in abstract terms with other products.

So play longer.
Let's leave the produce department out of this.
It's not working right, then.

OOOOOH pwn3d!
It's also a unit of currency...
If you know the mass to weight ratio of a substance, you can.
What, are they bluetooth style SD/USB/HDMI/DVI/VGA?
Seriously... do I seriously have to post a thinkgeek product to slashdot... wow...

It's what they left when they started using Apple.
Hint: Not everyone who uses Apple was born into it.
yeah, it's called "fdisk".
Wait.. so you're saying we don't remember things predicted back in 1962?

everything is illuminated by the sun... by that nature, every asteroid, satellite, and debris field is luminous.
It's also eerily disturbing that we're talking about astronomical logic from a bible verse lol
