They did need them badly. Without having them so soon there wouldn't currently be a Virginia Tech supercomputer on the TOP500 list and they'd have to wait another year to try to get listed.
It really shows how well Microsoft's focus on security is working. I guess if they really cared they would have done a security audit on any acquired products before releasing a new verison under their name.
That was Dave Hyatt and he didn't invent tabbed browsing. He implemented it in Mozilla and (what is now) Firefox. He believes Firefox's tabs are his best implementation.
iChat AV has supported simulaneous audio/video chat and just audio chat for about a year now. iChat AV 2.1 beta is just the first version to work with Windows clients now that AOL has co-opted Apple's technology for AOL IM 5.5.
Dude, your sister wasn't using iChat. The voice quality is superior to cellular phones. And that was with a friend that was on dialup. I'd expect AOL IM to have the same high quality since they're using Apple's solution.
All of your other points are good, but Ichat isn't Yahoo. The voice chat is amazing. I haven't bought an Isight yet so I can't say much about the video -- except it was pretty neat to play with in the Apple Store once.
I bet the physical size was an issue for them as far as transporting the devices was concerned. Plus, the iPod is probably (I'm guessing here) more resistant to shock than your standard 200GB external FireWire hard drive.
Nice way to back away from your words by failing to address my arguments against them -- save one which you danced around.
Point blank, only one company can make IA-32 chips. AMD makes something that is similar but not the same and they're diverging even more in the 64bit arena with AMD64 and IA-64.
PowerPC is a joint venture between Apple, IBM, and SPS Spinco (Motorola's spun-off PowerPC unit). They share technology and specs.
evils of SCO and Microsoft. When in fact Apple is more closed source and proprietary than both of them combined
Explain yourself.
Apple uses OSS as the foundation of Mac OS X. Apple uses open standards where it is possible in all aspects of the operating system and their applications. Apple even uses an open processor platform instead of IA-64 or IA-32.
talk about how cool Apple is and if only the world were a better place we would all use Mac's
I don't know of anyoen that says this. Monocultures are bad. Interoperability is good.
As far as Netflix Fanatic is concerned, Cricket still works for Apple. What does that tell you?

Actually, FireWire supports transfers of up to 3.2Gbps depending on the interconnect used.

Do you want to be the one designing the GUI for those 100,000 advanced features? I didn't think so.

Firefox is a very nice browser. But, feature-wise it is considerably behind OmniWeb. And, I'm considering all of the plug-ins I've read about.
Name one.
Users that aren't connecting to the AIM network with an official client (AOL Instant Messenger or iChat AV) won't be seen by people using iChat AV.
Umm, it's just a FireWire camera. It's not a Mac only device. It works with iChat the same way a FireWire camcorder would.

MCI does everything VoIP. It's just that no one knows it or needs to know it.

Yes, there is the FireStore
How are they going to replace the iSight and iChat with cheaper technology?
While you're at it, explain the other three too. I bet it is much harder that just saying they could replace them with cheaper technologies.
Poor sound quality isn't a criticism of the iPod. See the Stereophile review for more info.
They could have put the files into an encrypted disk image to prevent that from happening.

That is the saddest excuse for poor design I've ever heard.
That's great. I'm sure its really easy for you to find the song you want to hear when you want to hear it.
Actually, they license it from another company. At least it isn't as Draconian as MS's.

Number three is called getting clients.
I'd wager those aren't considered "consolation prizes" by the makeup artists, composers, sound designers, writers, or costume designers.
