No one is saying that the theater isn't wrong about having an inaccesable site, but that's not what is in question here, and if that's the problem, then a suit should have been brought.
You don't protest a building not having a handicapped entrance by building a clone next door and moving everything from the original building into yours.
And there is a reason that the US should care what other countries show and don't show on TV? In the US, we're allowed to own guns, guess the UK should start issuing guns to it's civilians huh?
And while there may be a correlation, I'll bet a lot of money that it's less than.25
And how can you be sure that the artists get their money and the lables get nothing? (that of course being illegal since the artists don't own the rights to their songs)
I remember when it was about being reasonable. That we would accept some minor limitations as long as the artists got paid. Now, given that I can take any song from the iTMS and with little more effort than it takes to rip a CD play it on any device I want. That's a damn reasonable restriction I'd say.
This is college housing we're talking about. Paper thin walls, built on concrete slabs and the only reason it costs me 400 is because there are 3 other people living here. Now granted we all have individual leases, but we're not exactly living the luxury life here.
Somehow I doubt they'd care to take business advice from a guy who can't even spell. But that said, I think making 46 million in profits on about 1.5k units sold is a damn good return.
Ah yes, wintel backwards compatibility.The greatness of keeping DOS until the year 2000. Not giving up that piece of shit they call PS/2 for USB when it was first developed, and only catching on to the idea after, of all people, Apple pushed it. And those wonderful ISA slots that came standard on motherboards untill about 98. And who could forget the wonders of the paralell port?
Backwards compatability is fine and dandy, but at some point you've got to be willing to give it up. Every time apple makes a change that eliminates some backwardsness, people bitch and moan. They did it from ][ to mac, they did it from 68k to PPC, they did it from OS9 to OSX and they did it from ADB and SCSI to USB and Firewire. And people cried at every turn, and yet in the end, it's always been for the best. You should only hold on to backwards compatibility untill it's no longer useful, and then it's time to let it go, and drag the diehards kicking and screaming into the new decade.
Not at all, his point is that the monitor will crap out, and having an all in one leaves you with buying a new computer instead of a cheap replacement, however, if the computer craps out before the monitor then his point is null. Monitor tech gets better with time, and most people who buy all in ones are more than happy to have a newer monitor to go with their new machine.
I've come to the conclusion that Apple must have some sort of market share that defies the natural laws of the universe. For years now, Apple's market share has always been reported at ~4% with numbers as low as 2% in some places and as high as 10% in others. But the one thing that has remained constant throughout these reports is that it's adwindling market share and it's falling rapidly. Now, how is it that 6 years ago, they could have 4%, 5 years ago they had 4%, 4 years ago they had 4%, 3 years ago they have 4%, 2 years ago they have 4%, one year ago they have 4% and this year, they still have 4%, yet every year it was declining?
This leads to the conclusion that Apple must have invented purpetual self sustaining marketshare, a graph of which could make MC Escher proud, and that they must patent this immediately so that they can increase their marketshare to -pi
Dude, most monitors I know last longer than their computers. I have a monitor from my old Comodore 64 that makes a great mini TV. By contrast the comodore won't boot at all.
What if my old hardware is a mac? Or, what if I don't want to use my old hardware? Or what if I'm sick of dealing with windows and virus scanners and ad aware and all that bullshit? What if I don't want to have to seach for drivers just so that I can INSTALL linux? What if I'm not a gamer?
If "the most disposable income" means dumping nearly 80% of your income into just rent, tuition and insurance, perhaps people need to re-evaluate their spending habits and learn to save money? Especialy given that my income anualy is less than 10k.
Funny, as a college student paying his own bills, I was able to aford a $2,300 powerbook for use at school. In fact, it was my first choice, and only later did I then spend another $1,000 on a PC so that i could have a file server (and a Linux box) lying around if I needed it. The powerbook still gets more use. Now, somehow I think that if I can afford a powerbook, that most working people can afford themselves a $900 eMac no?
Failing of course to realize that for most users (you know, the ones that actualy don't give a shit if they can look at the kernel source) that 1 user that would be wiped out is them. And All of their files. Having the core of the OS means jack shit if all your files are gone. The core can be reinstalled, the files are gone forever.

Or do away with the customers. I guarantee the rebates bring in more money to Best Buy than losing a dozen customers per store and whatever nuts take shit like this personaly.
You can have all the pieces of the puzzle and still not know what you're looking at. Furthermore, just because he knew, doesn't mean everyone that needed to know knew. We have a horribly inefficient buraucratic law enforcement system designed to slow down and stop the spread of information at every turn. And it's this way by design and the demand of the american people. Just because he "knew" doesn't mean shit. Crack pot theorists "know" that aliens are in roswell, and that a hollogram really hit the trade centers. His job was to study Al Queda, so you can be damn sure he thought he "knew" everything. But that doesn't mean the people at the top saw his knowledge as the most valuble.
Besides, I can tell you right now that tomorrow I will attack a public building in NYC, and I could tell you that it would be sometime during the 10 AM hour. I would bet my life that even with that knowledge, you still couldn't stop me.
Knowing that something will happen, and knowing when where how and who are two very very different things.

Except Apple isn't saying iTMS is more fair than the original contract, they're saying that it's more fair than just downloading whatever from Kazza
Chances are the people that are bitching about the DRM are the same people that are going to rip to FLAC, so loss of quality isn't an issue for them.
Thankfuly for the rest of us, the economy is made of more than just software makers.

I wonder if they carry them around more and have them on display more often because they enjoy using their computers?

Not exactly cheap housing. An apartment that comes out to somewhere in the neighborhood of $400 / month with cable/net/water.
I think a lot of it is bad spending habits. People are too used to the buy it now and worry about it later mentality.

Whic still doesn't explain how their marketshare can be constantly declining and still be at the same place it was 8 years ago.

Ok, I realize the G5 cases are big, but how small are you that you can fit inside a mac?
