    If in fact you are an authorized agent of Apple to claim that you put the sticker there with Apple's corporate permission you would have a case. Otherwise, you lose!

    The expense of adding the support personnel to handle the 9 million driver problems that pop up and the stupid little proprietary pieces of kit on the motherboards are not really worth the effort. Hardware and software from one source, I KNOW who to scream at when it doesn't work! If you like the OS so much buy the hardware, if you don't buy the hardware you don't get the OS you want. It's that simple. The myth that it's vastly overpriced just gos to show how lazy the person perpetuating that myth is.

    With Windows 7, there is really no reason to choose Apple over Microsoft except for the fashion statement.
    Well except that Win 7 still has the virus protection to buy and the spyware protection to buy and the ... ad nauseum.

    No genius, it's ~$129 for the full OS including the complete tool chain used to create software on the system. Windows 7 can't touch it for price and bang for the buck!

    they think that digital imaging is an evolution of the photographic process

    When they cease to call them graphics cards and stop using the term computer graphics you may indeed have a complaint. The art of designing and taking a "photograph" has moved from simply the optical/chemical world to the digital world of computer graphics. The definition of "graphic" itself is highly motile and depends on the context of the conversation. Graphic language simply means highly descriptive and not really to be spoken. Graphic Arts now uses computers along with everything else in the tool box. I agree with "Using a digital camera technically isn't the process of photography. It is the still the art of photography but not the process" and would have to be convinced otherwise. Art always transcends process and the end result is often the same regardless of process. So the statement:

    digital imaging is an evolution of the art of photography

    "Graph derived from the greek graphos meaning "to draw"
    no material is given and no medium is specified.

    Sadly, the teeth in Anti-trust law was not aimed at Microsoft it was designed to break up the Railroads and later AT&T. What MS did was indeed monopolistic and illegal under several other commerce laws but not specifically anti-trust. The States and the Government would actually have had more luck using the Rico statutes than anti-trust laws. Redbox should use the corrupt enterprise laws as well but they won't because their lawyers wouldn't make as much money because the Government lawyers would take over the case and they lose out. I hope Redbox fails miserably as I make my money from having movies in theaters not on the street corner and if the majors lose the ability to make money after the movies leave the theaters they won't have any incentive to put them in theaters to begin with therefore not bothering to sell DVDs so no one gets anything to put on the street corner either. We all lose out on that one.
