On a related note I encountered family this holiday that got an "iPod" but not the Apple one. It was an off brand of some player that does everything an "iPod" does. Was it this, this, this, or this "iPod"?
If an artist only writes one or two good songs for every 15 they release, they suck. Why are you buying their shit anyway? So what makes you think you can get a CD full of good songs at Best Buy?
It isn't a dependable format. If I pack away a collection of iTunes encrypted music for 15 years, will I still be able to play it? Doubtful. It's doubtful you can still play MP3s in 15 years? Only if you have the volume TOO LOUD.
So why would someone want to run OS X on something OTHER than an Apple made computer?
To get the hardware that's right for them. Apple provides too few choices. For example, the only machine I would get for 'real' gaming, is the top one from Apple, because they don't have something in between that would allow me to use a decent graphics card. So you would be perectly happy with an Mac Mini is only you could put in a graphics card that costs more, is bigger and uses more power than the Mac Mini.
Nope, pardoning Nixon was the single greatest thing the man accomplished, and it cost him a lot both politically and personally. Now that's what many would call "Damning With Faint Praise". Not you of course.
Yes there's a prototype for the A380. There's also a demo for Spore. But until Airbus figures out how to insert those 300 miles of wiring, the prototype is meaningless. Without any wiring, a jetliner is just a... I want to say "big doorstop" but somehow that's not right.
So why do the A380s that are flying manage without all that cable?
And that isn't even the first iPhone product shipping (since last year). Freenet already filed to get a trademark in Germany in 2004, but the German Patent and Trademark Office refused to grant it because iPhone "was already in general use for internet phones".
Apple has a proven track record when it comes to security updates,
Proven, how?
I've read articles in the past that mentioned Apple was often slower than Microsoft at releasing critical updates. Well, if you read it, it must be true then.
Does "Slashdot" like The Matrix for anything but the stunning special effects (esp. the Matrix effect)? The sequels only had more of the same, but not much new - maybe apart from dozens of Agent Smiths.
Gee, you have a hard time understanding that Windows is only available for "Intel compatible PCs".
Windows is available for "non-x86 compatible" computers (and was even more so at the time of the antitrust case).
Whether or not you consider these "PCs", I can't say - and given your reluctnace to engage in any meaningful dialogue in this thread, I'm not particularly interested in guessing about it.
Are you going to pretend that palm-tops are PCs (or in fact run "Windows" even if they try to call it that)? Are you going to pretend that at the time of the anti-trust case Microsoft had already stopped development for all other platforms, half-hearted as they were?
And are you going to continue to troll your way through this thread?
Why do I get the impression that if high-speed internet access was banned in YOUR homes, you guys would (probably literally) be up in arms about it and not just making remarks on a forum? High-speed internet access isn't banned in Iran - and they don't block English sites either, no matter how often the mass media repeats that.

<!--Kim was here:

I noticed the Kim comment, too. So who is this person? Somebody at NYT, or with Bush&Co, or a CIA agent??
There is a story within a story here, and I for one would like to hear it!
Duh - the story was originally written by Kim Yong-Il and the White House wanted to not keep that a secret.And that isn't even the first iPhone product shipping (since last year). Freenet already filed to get a trademark in Germany in 2004, but the German Patent and Trademark Office refused to grant it because iPhone "was already in general use for internet phones".
No, unlike you i'm not mindless.
[Stops dancing wildly in front of computer]
No, but we felt the earth move.Nobody saw that, right?
So it showed you Firefox has a potential security hole allowing code execution instead.

Says Blackcomb will be delayed, an "intermediate release, coffer-filling release dubbed 'Longhorn' will fill the gap".
So by the time XP was released they already had plans for the OS after Vista.

Thanks. I was pretty sure you didn't actually have the brains to understand a simple sentence, but it's nice to get confirmation.
I understand your sentence perfectly, I just don't understand why you think it makes any sense.
Gee, you have a hard time understanding that Windows is only available for "Intel compatible PCs". Why is that?
