What if Apple buys EA, ports all current titles, and then kills off the Windows versions of those titles, and does not offer Windows (or Linux) versions of any new titles?
I imagine the stockholders would be pissed that Apple took a very successful video game company and turned it into a money pit.
My experience is similar.. although I'll go a little further.
The problem with bluetooth is that once it's paired, it works fine.. but pairing can be a problem, especially in a busy office. The mouse and keyboard always wants to pair with the dozens of macs in the room, except for the one I want it to pair with.
The CCTV situation in Britain coupled with their reaction to Google Street View makes it obvious that the British trust corporations and their government more than their next door neighbor.
Exactly.. comparisons like these always annoy me. If Apple came out with a diamond-studded laptop for $3 million, someone would be like "It's a great deal... if you take a dell and you buy all these diamonds to bring it up to parity with the Apple, it's going to cost you even more!"
I don't want a diamond-studded laptop. I don't want firewire 800 (I don't have any firewire devices), I don't want a built-in iSight. I don't want to pay extra for things I'm not going to use.
Even in the old days, there were competing standards.
EBC-DIC versus ASCII for example. Hell, there were even variants of that. The Apple II used ASCII, but unless you wanted inverse or flashing text, you had to set the MSB.
IIgs's most common mode was 320x200. 16 colors per scanline, and you could define a different 16 color palette for each scanline, getting you 3200 colors on the screen.
There was also a 640x200 mode, but it only did 4 colors per scanline.
The newest ipods don't work with linux or anything other than iTunes for that matter. Apple started cryptographically signing the database on the iPod to prevent 3rd parties from adding music to it.

Using Google's AppEngine, you can use BigTable.. so while you can't install it on your own servers, you can still write software that uses it.
You need to be 18 to get a cellphone in your name.
If you recalculate those salaries to account for the fact that teachers only work 9 months out of the year.. teachers are actually very well paid.

roughly drafted wouldn't know insight if it came in a box with an apple logo on the outside.
As his shows break down, he continues to run heel-toe. Which will destroy your knees.
If he was barefoot, he'd never run that way.
Do the dogs get the same protection? However do they survive?

That one implies it.
That and what's so strict about OSX's permission levels?
The default user has permission to overwrite Safari, iTunes, and everything inside /Applications.
Beetle. I don't know what they did to the Caddy but it's awful now. My mother-in-law has a 2005 CTS, it constantly has electrical problems.
and vice versa. I want a machine with built-in card readers. That rules out every mac ever made.
Must be a recent development with the intel macs.. because I've got a jet engine under my desk in the form of a G5.
I don't believe it is. Close your blinds.
Not really any different from sitting in a high rise with binoculars.

No kidding. Someone stop by that village and explain the Streisand Effect to those morons.
Or he followed her into the store.

The drive sleds are part of the xserve.. you don't get them with the drive.. you take out the sled, you replace the drive in the sled.
Yeah, Apple should learn from IBM. At least IBM could point right to that bit of plastic and say "these drive sleds cost a fortune to make!" :)

You're assuming "human" to them means the same thing as "human" to us.
Let me put it this way: you think they were speaking English? They weren't.

Linux netbooks tend to be identical to the windows models except that they have an 8GB SSD instead of a 120GB HD.
