People want mobility with out sacrificing performace. Todays laptops seem to do that nicely, especially Apple's power books. I never liked palm pilots but laptops are quite nice on the average. I just wish heat wasn't such an issue. I used to have an Acer laptop 5-6 year ago and it left burns on my lap after an hour or so of use.
So ONE law firm in ONE part of the world is capable of pulling it off. Gee no wonder it's a 2% market share. Get over it dumb shit, Macs don't cut it in the office.
eMacs and iBooks do not cut it in business, sorry pal. That line has been regurgitated so many times it's pathetic. Apple has ZERO decent business machines, unless you're a designer. That's the way it is, deal with it.
I disagree on corporate America being entrenched in MS. You would be surprised how quickly a business will switch when it effects their bottom line.
The fact is Apple isn't competitive in the office yet. They need real office solutions, things for business management, accounting (quickbooks doesn't cut it) and they need a versatile and scalable exchange killer. Prices need to come down too.
Apple's stylish machines are nice but companies don't care about style. Apple REALLY needs a less stylish and cheaper line of business machines that don't sacrifice speed. Until this happens Apple will continue to eat the PC markets dust. I'm a home user so a Mac is great for me. If I was a business owner I wouldn't dare spend the extra $1-2k per machine on Macs. That money is better spent on wages and equipment/marketing/etc. I honestly don't know wtf Jobs is thinking. Apple will always be a niche platform struggling for life unless they can put something viable together for businesses.
Oh and BTW there was one miss-typed word in my last post and you think that gives you the moral high ground? Like I said in my first reply to you, PATHETIC. Now run along child.
You always know when you lost the intellectual debate when you reduce yourself to grammar checking. This is a web forum not a thesis paper. I'll misspell what ever the hell I wish.
Keep playing the game tho, at this point I'm just chuckling at your stupidity and self righteous B.S. You aren't fooling anyone around here, I can promise you that much.
Yes a person with a foul mouth is of below average intelligence. If you can't form a sentence without including childish immature language then the chances of you forming an intelligent opinion and understanding adult subject matter are increidbly thin.
An intelligent and confident adult doesn't resort to name calling and obscenities to prove a point or make a statement. This is how I know you never studied philosophy and why I am beginning to have my doubts you even went to school. One more time, grow up.
For someone claiming such a great edumacation you sure have a foul mouth. I don't answer stupid questions. I'm also not a movie critic nor have I seen the movie yet.
My comments were directed at you, your foul mouth and complete lack of real education. I suggest you get your money back from that "best school on the subject in America". You're a complete disgrace. Had you really studied Philosophy at all I would expect a much better reply than "Fuck you idiot moron scumbag dirtwad.... nya nya nya nya nya nya". Grow up.
If we're all idiots then why are you the one making a fool of yourself? You started this off acting like a complete child and are now roaming head on into moron territory.
Read your first post and think again before rationalizing your diatribe on philosophy. Oh and the subject was my major so don't begin to attempt lecturing me on it.
Anyone who gets their philosophy from a Hollywood sci-fi flick is the dumb one. Sorry buddy but your rant was pathetic in the extreme. Want philosophy? Get a library card.
I dont want my tax dollars paying for FREE stuff. Thats rediculous. If they are gonna pay for it then get the quality products rather than the eternal beta software the OSS community creates. The only advantage OSS has is that it's free. If you pay for it that advantage is gone.
"Our bitchslap to Afghanistan killed more innocent people than died at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon combined, including the terrorists."
Prove that or shut your liberal ass up. That kind of pathetic FUD does nothing for your stupid cause but make you look like the anti-US liberal fanatic you are.
There honestly isnt much loyalty in the game market. people want the top of the line.
Nintendos advantage is their games are great for kids. I mean little kids like my daughter. The console is just kid friendly where the PS2 and XBox are less so. Almost every game on the XBox is for 18+ adults. PS2 is almost the same but with selection of kids games that just aren't as great as Nintendos.
As long as Nintendo keeps it's target audience at the 16 and under crowd they will do fine. MS and Sony will compete for the older crowd until one of them gives up.
"The RIAA is trying the same tactic the U.S is going to try with the Middle East. Ratchet up the propaganda to people who know its propganada and despise it, attempt to paint a picture of things that is directly at odds with what people see and experience every day, all the while continuing with the same actions the people hate."
Once you said that I realized you had no clue what you are talking about.

The truth is never obsolete. Perhaps in the third movie we'll meet Ayn Rand.
In the first movie I would argue we met the Buddha. I haven't seen the second however.

one of these days when you grow up you will realize how pathetheic you are for apologizing for Saddam
You always have Korea!

Oh shut up. Your conspiracy theories fall on deaf ears. People are tired of anti-US liberal idiots like you.

I don't know about you but those pesky Irishmen in the desert appear much more dangerous than those Arabs.
Just give it a rest. Terrorists are Arab these days. Thats a fact.

Question #1-100:
"Hillary, do you like hot grits?"
I was with you up until this point:
"The RIAA is trying the same tactic the U.S is going to try with the Middle East. Ratchet up the propaganda to people who know its propganada and despise it, attempt to paint a picture of things that is directly at odds with what people see and experience every day, all the while continuing with the same actions the people hate."
Once you said that I realized you had no clue what you are talking about.
"Americans don't care about the rest of the world. Dang."
Cry me a river you fucking victim. When the rest of the world does something worth caring about, wake me up.
No matter how hard you try to sound intellectual, you'll still be an idiot. Just stop now while you're behind.
No kidding, we all know aliens fly around in giant cubes. I mean, DUH.
Now I have to filter out Timothy too. I'm down to like 2 "editors" left.
