The USA is only 4% of the world, with 20% of the world's buying power concentrated to 1% of the population.
That means less actual people with buying power. A rich person won't buy 100 units of whatever to compensate for the other 99% of the American population.
Most health food gets corrupted anyway. Like the granola bar. That's been completely corrupted.
Because you know initially some guy was like, hey kids are eating candy bars, right? All we got to do is shape granola like a candy bar, kids will eat the granola.
And then like a week later, uh Bill, kids are not eating these granola bars.
Well, all you got to do is put chocolate chips in the granola bar. Kids will eat the granola.
Uh, Bill, kids are picking the chocolate chips out of the granola bar.
All you got to do is cover it in chocolate. Get rid of the freakin' granola. I gotta tell you how to do everything?
All I see is a page with a vertically scrolling frame on the left and window that's too wide on the right so the content is cropped on both sides. Are asshole designers just assuming everyone has a widescreen monitor?
P.S. to dryriver: I also come from an MS-DOS/Windows background. In fact I started on a Tandy Color Computer 2 (~Commodore 64 era), when Microsoft was basically a small startup that merely provided Basic for other real companies.
Switching to a Mac (beginning of the OS X era) reminded me of the days when my friend showed me his Amiga 2000.
I think "not having to fight my computer" is the best summary you can give.
You'll never get the special appeal of Apple products until you've used one long enough to want to switch. It's sort of a chicken-egg scenario, or a Matrix riddle:
Morpheus: Unfortunately, no one can betold what a Mac is. You have to use it for yourself. This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You use one of the PC over here (Windows or Linux), the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You use the Mac over there, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. [the user, after a pause, reaches for the Mac] Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

It's not that he's evil (at least in this context), it's that he's making everything about himself.
The "updated" MacBook Pro is hated in the MacRumors forums by most pro users (useless touch bar, lack of ports, thinness over function).
The iMac is hated by everyone who doesn't want a built-in display in their desktop computers so it's not a valid option. So our only options left are either an underpowered and downgraded Mac mini (which is itself now three years old - or five years old if you count from the 2012 Mac mini which was the last real update) or a not-really-upgradable, not-really-Pro-featured but pro-expensive trashcan Mac Pro which Apple themselves apologized about.

Wrong thread?
Do people under 21 even know what a phone number is?
So you combine all the iPhone models together but the other companies cannot combine their numbers?
Did you know that Apple sells more computers with an apple logo on them than any other company on the planet? It's true!
I've heard they're going to make a special edition for Canada, Windows 10 E h.

Why would I want new shoes? I'm not depressed.
I think you mean that Web pages are using way more RAM than a sane person would expect. Both Chrome and the user are the victims here.

Buy a Sony or Nintendo console.
Buy a Mac or install Linux/BSD/etc.
You'll see what life can be without Microsoft. Today.

I'm glad you understand.
We didn't have computers in our high schools.
Now get off my lawn!
By reading the comments you can clearly see they're not trolls. The complaints make sense.

So no, I'm not "ignoring" anything.
From what I understand his idea isn't to be hardware failure-proof, it's to be file system failure-proof.
What if your file system and/or hardware uses a different sector size? Didn't those change size over the last decades?
