    Imagine if Apple actually cared to update their Macs more often, they would outsell Surface even more!

    It doesn't mean there's a loss of interest. It just means that everybody who really wanted one already has one.

    Now all they have to do is release updates every year or so for those users to give them an upgrade path.

    I've heard about Colossus. I've also heard about Guardian.

    They don't involve one side arbitrarily changing the deal without notifying the other side.

    Pray they don't alter the deal.

    You're getting paid during office hours to work for the company, not to work on your personal projects.

    Also, to basically everyone reading this: you're also not paid to read Slashdot - GET BACK TO WORK!

    And now I look at the technological ability of my freaking phone, and I wonder at just how far things have come in 30 years or so...

    Between Windows 10, FaceBook, Twitter and all the spyware and marketing-infested crap, I'd say "too far".

    You just took things too far. "Early computers did not have switchboards because most of them were women". See what I did there?

    The era of the current topic is the Nintendo NES/Famicom/GameBoy period. When freeze128 said "Early computer users worked without a mouse", I replied that computers of that same era at least had a keyboard, unlike that early Nintendo programmer.

  24. Remember Pepperidge Farm?
