One of the problems is that it's getting harder to actually see this great movie he made. The closest we have at present is fan-edited preservations.
I don't know if you have seen anything from this supposed leaked copy of Blu-Ray release, but check YouTube if you haven't and come back here with comments.
Whats that, you want to know what happens when the caps blow out after 4 years of use? Why, I go buy another $65 motherboard!
Yes, but what happens to the old motherboard after that? So you now have two motherboards in a period when you only needed one (unless you were planning on upgrading at that time anyway). Unless the caps can be easily replaced (not always the case) you won't be able to donate it to a school or youth centre and have just created more unnecessary toxic waste.
Where possible, please try to buy right the first time.
Given that Apple have now revealed themselves to be every bit as evil as Microsoft (as opposed to just wanna-be evil, as the more perceptive of you will have known for at least the past decade) it's not surprising that these two scum-infested megacorps are now talking.

It's quacks like "Dr" Bob (the GGGP or something) that give legitimate Chiropractic practice a bad name.
has anyone else noticed that since the death of the Amiga and the like, personal computers have become more about consuming content... than creating it?
How much of that obscene amount of funds do you think is going towards military programmes?
And yet for some reason there are still people in the western world who don't think twice before buying Made In China. If only they could see what is likely to happen next...
With the seemingly downward trend in optical drive quality over the past twelve years, I doubt that a drive made today could read such a disc in 3 years time, much less 2000.
Why do you assume he doesn't? SSL webmail for example is trivial with HTTPS (and yes, you can use self-signed certificates, unless that is you also avoid SSH).
The whole point of moving the world's manufacturing to China is so that We (collectively) get to ignore the environmental and human rights problems that result.
Of course if You (collectively) continue to buy Made in China then You are just as much part of the problem as anyone else.
I think Dave Barry said it best (okay it was some time in the 1980s, but still holds true today):
The stock market of the 1920s was very different from the stock market of today. Back then, the market was infested by greed-crazed slimeballs, get-rich-quick speculators with the ethical standards of tapeworms, who shrieked "buy" and "sell" orders into the telephone with no concern whatsoever for the nation's long-term financial well-being. Whereas today they use computers.
How will we benefit? You'll be able to run binary-only x86 code on your x64 system. This means Adobe Flash and Skype. Any open source code is fine, because it can be compiled for your own architecture - but for binary-only proprietary software, it may not be available for your architecture.
This will also make 32-bit mplayer much easier to install on 64-bit machines, which is often needed due to binary-only win32 codecs.

I maintain that CmdrTaco has done more for the computing community than Jobs, and that the empire he built is much, much less evil.
Block all sales of Apple hardware in Australia until they provide a reasonable explanation.
Next question.
A jack is a female fitting? Not that I've ever heard of, and bear in mind that "Jack" is a traditionally male name.
Given this, can we please just use "plug" for male and "socket" for female and be done with it?
USB-A has already solved that problem :(
Even sadder that so far no one has mentioned the more free efforts such as Diaspora.
They're all made there anyway. They're just selling to their local market.
Designed by Apple in California means nothing.
I think you just described the two-party system.
Or, you know, they can spend more on hardware with the money they would have spent unnecessarily on software.
Plus in the fight against software patents, the BSA, et al, I think we should have as many lawyers on our side, don't you?

Interesting aside:

Uhm, would you like to bet on that?

Wait, you want Facebook to become *more* like 4chan?

I'll believe that with Firefox 5 stops leaking memory like a sieve.
China was a smoking ruin within living memory. Warlordism, the Japanese invasion, massive famines, etc aren't ancient history.
And yet you folks seem happy to give these people all your money.
Can no one really see the problem with this?
One reason (of many) to stop this nonsense.
Buy local.
