Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered Apple community when recently IDC confirmed that Apple accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all desktops. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that Apple has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Apple is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by falling dead last in the recent PC Magazine comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Apple's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Apple faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Apple because Apple is dying. Things are looking very bad for Apple. As many of us are already aware, Apple continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. The Macintosh is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Apple leader Steve states that there are 7000 users of the Power Mac. How many users of the iMac are there? Let's see. The number of Power Mac versus iMac posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 iMac users. eMac posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of iMac posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of the eMac. A recent article put the iBook at about 80 percent of the Apple market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 iBook users. This is consistent with the number of iBook Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Motorola, abysmal sales and so on, the iBook went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that Apple has steadily declined in market share. Apple is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Apple is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dabblers. Apple continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Apple is dead.
You know, I think the quality of crapfloods in this thread is as high as it's ever been. First the excerpt from the modified book of Genesis, then a fantastic troll polka, and now a rewrite of a classic Shakespearean play which, if you ask me, is even better than the original!
Kudos to all the trolls. Linus is a nigger, and Anal Cocks is a terminally obese bearded hermaphrodite. Down with open sores - Microsoft.NET 4 ever. Peace. Sonny.
It was funny, because as I was reading your post, I could hear the sound of thousands and thousands of filthy, long-haired, unshaven, smelly geeks blowing their wads all over your text on their screens.
I hope China lobs a few missiles at the hippie fuckers, and kills a few million free software-using chinks. It would certainly put them out of the misery in which they would find themselves after the conversion.
I just heard the sad news on talk radio - my colon was found dead in its Arizona home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss it - even if you didn't enjoy its work, there's no denying its contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon. It will be missed:(
For any warm-blooded, God-fearing American is Microsoft Windows. Let the shoddy imitators have their day in the sun, but when all is said and done, Windows shall prevail.

Review: U-571
·
· Score: -1
U-571 is a "film" starring almost no one you've heard of, directed by some guy, and lifted mostly from older, better films. It is an insult to the eyes, the ears, the nose, the brain, common sense, and the human desire to be entertained.
Now go read Roger Ebert's review of Armageddon.
DARYL CARPENTER IS A FUCKING PLAGIARIST PIECE OF SHIT.
I'm proud of you, boy. Go and teach those Communist sons of bitches how to eat lead, and while you're at it, don't get your brains blown out. That is my advice to you, sonny. In this moment of patriotism, please recite with me our beloved National Anthem:
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming
And the rockets' red glare!
The bombs bursting in air!
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there
Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
And the MASSIVE ANUS of the goatse.cx man!!

1) Sell computers to people who can't afford computers 2) ????? 3) Make money
"I seriously doubt that your $30 case can match my $100 case." Who the fook cares? Get a life, and take a shower, you smelly Lunix hippie.
That Linux users are all braindead fags? And you were surprised?
Jesus Christ, talk about fucking freaks. Who unchained you, gimpy?
Death to all Lunix fags and GNU knobbers.
Eheheheh... You said lubricate. Heheheheheh.

Apparently not. I know I speak for a lot of people when I ask: "Why can't Slashdot bash the kikes or the faggots instead?"
Fuck you, semite turd.

I am not sure whether or not I agree with this post
Yes.
