During the switch campaign, all of the folks that I saw in the adds were the all blck wearing, pierced noses, and other younger folks who looked really cool. I didn't see any folks in business suits talking about ROI or how it made their organization much more profitable - like you see in IBM, Oracle, SAP, etc... ads.
And next you will blame Apple for your insufficient eyesight, right?
Actually even the new mini has a grpahics card that has been optimized for things like Core Image - it's not that great at 3D stuff sure, but for the kind of UI accelleration that OS X and Vista need it's more powerful than you would think.
After all, if I can play 1080p video on the mini what else do I need?
But Core image and the UI accelleration use the 3D stuff, while playing 1080p video only needs bandwidth - and lots of CPU power if the GPU (like that in the Mini) doesn't have video decoding support.
OS X is starting to base more things on top of Core Image (like iPhoto and Aperture) and other technologies that rely pretty heavily on the video card - which is why in the new imacs and Macbook Pro Apple included a halfway decent video card for once.
So I think in fact Apple computers will be able to run Vista better than most cut-rate $500 computers.
What you and Ars Technica fail to realize is that the French law will make things like Hymn illegal. Not only that, but the law also ultimately requires DRMed songs to play on all portable media players (and OSs) without loss of quality (no re-ripping). IOW unless you force all makers of MP3 players to actually make WMA-10/Fairplay players, this can't be done. IYOW: only non-DRMed music can be sold legally - I'll spell it out for you: no major music label will sell music online anymore.
So what happens? People will have to use illegal means to get Music on their MP3 players (in case you forgot, ripping music from CDs will be illegal under that law).
command+w seems to close every window I've ever encountered
Good point. Under Widows most apps it works with both alt-f4 or ctrl-w - but some will only do one, and you will have to remember which does which, and sometimes what will go wrong if you do the other.
Errm, yeah, right. Hitler supported population control the same way he supported abortion. He tried to force it on "sub-humans" and made it a capital offense for aryans. When will you dumbitch pro-lifers get that into your skulls?
Well, his point was Recently, I had wanted to download JUST QUICKTIME. I was rudely surprised that I can't do that anymore.not that "the unbundled version intentionally being made harder to find and instead". Your lack of functional literacy and attitude says a great deal about your mental age..
Errhumm. The software called "QuickTime Movie Player" that comes with QuickTime is just a demo app to show some of what QuickTime can do. I don't know why this seems to be the only other media player app for Windows using QT, but there are quite a few for Mac OS (both Classic and OS X).
PS to the Wintrolls: feel free to apply for a Darwin Award by pointing to this.

Well, maybe its because the nonsense I spew is Californian law?
But Core image and the UI accelleration use the 3D stuff, while playing 1080p video only needs bandwidth - and lots of CPU power if the GPU (like that in the Mini) doesn't have video decoding support.
Not the Core Mac Mini - what were they thinking.
Video tapes, chewing gum, what's the difference? Well, for video tapes you get twice the sentence.
Even cooler, in California you can get 25 to life. Did you have any specific point?
But all your pirating - ooops, sorry, getting the music you deserve for free - won't make them disappear and not go after you with ever growing force.
So what happens? People will have to use illegal means to get Music on their MP3 players (in case you forgot, ripping music from CDs will be illegal under that law).
Come to think of it, why did his spell checker accept "psylons" in the first place?
Sure

If this consitantly worked between all Windows programs, sure. But it doesn't.

If you want to see how fucked up politics in the US have become, you have to look no further than the recent Washington State Vegetable debacle.
And who do you think brought up trading? Like I said, the USA.
Actually, the issue at hand is your lack of argument.
Well, "Kyotoists" look beyond just hurricans striking the US.
Yes - thanks to the watering down the US demanded.
Well, that's how "conservatives" are - when science gets in the way of their beloved "truths", they cry "Leave the politics out of science!"
At least the article mentions Apple, the submissions talks about the WMA DRM 10 format - hello? That doesn't even play on any Apple product.

The proposed law put before the National Assembly will strengthen the legal status of digital rights management (DRM), the process by which copying of films or music can be curtailed, or users prevented from playing material from other parts of the world. [...] Imprisonment and big fines would still be used for those who distributed software aimed at defeating copyright protection [...] the typical penalty for home users is likely to be between 38-150 euros.
Don't worry, once somebody comes up with a way, everybody will tell you how obvious the solution is ;-)
Well, according to TFA, Bell didn't have a working device until after he received the patent. Now consider that "Successful tests on a German device manufactured in 1863 [...] show the "Telephon", developed by German research scientist Philipp Reis, could transmit and receive speech."
