The only thing worse than an Apple zealot is an anti-Apple zealot zealot. You're the mean spirited type that can't stand anyone else having fun or achieving any sort of success, especially if the way they are doing it doesn't meet your approval or threatens your high priest status.
I know, your type is as old as the hills, and not likely going away. But you don't have to follow me around, either.
He's got a great instinct for being a natural asshole...
He wasn't asked for input because they thought he was a nice guy. They weren't fishing for an angel. They (or at least Doehr) wanted some hard asses with the stature to command the respect of Dean's team.
If you don't know how to access contextual menus in the Mac OSes (and didn't think it was possible), maybe you need to get a clue.
I've tried to teach my father the keyboard shortcut for quitting an app. CMD-Q. Bless his heart, he still uses the menu every freaking time. Do you think these clueless people, such as my father, should be subjected to your "clueful" idea of computing?
Rather than focus on the points I disagree with, I'll address a point that I do, more or less, agree with. And I'd like to formulate it in a different way, so as to provide some insight for you. You said"
For some reason known only to them, Apple chooses to have only a tiny market share of the PC industry. They are certainly smart enough to redefine the industry on their terms.
The way I would put it makes the reason a bit more obvious:
Apple chooses not to compete with Dell and the other commodity box makers in the commodity box market. They've chosen to compete with Dell on their own terms, by redefining the industry more than once.
Maybe you meant to say that. The ideas are certainly there in your post.
Even Netspeak enthusiasts acknowledge that young people need to learn how to speak and write proper English to get ahead in school, hold a job or post on slashdot.
Some of us old timers still prefer to comprehend what we're reading.
Maybe Acacia research will come up with that killer app. Oh, wait. They already did and they patented it. It's called Method of Killing Video on the Internet by Means of Submarine Patents.
I totally understand where you're coming from, and it's a sensible position to take.
However, I do get the idea that he has learned his lesson, and can be trusted now. Think of the Yakuza. You don't get to be a high ranking guy in the Yak without the missing pinky.

Just bustin' your balls, my good biff.

T. Rex was founded in the late 60s by Marc Bolan, although some might claim that it wasn't shortened to T.Rex until 1970.
Wasn't that the title of a p0rn movie? Along with "Your Ass Lick Park"?
I'm slightly skeptical.
No, you're marrow minded.
I'm here all week. Try the veal.
Are you going to follow me around all day?

Sometimes I can't tell if people are just that ignorant, or trolling. I suspect that you're trolling.

In hindsight, who was right and who was wrong?
Oops! I just shit my pants!
OK, you better sit down. It's even scarier than that.

Proof that MS is the Devil, if you were ever in any doubt.
It was management that nearly drove Apple under. It was products like the PB which helped keep Apple afloat.
Lord knows his shift to be a music company has disillusioned many of the mac faithful of old.
You mean there are still people pissing and moaning about OS 9?
I think you mean, "Dick Fucking Tracy."
Brushed metal is a salve for Steve's wounded ego. He's still bitter that NeXT didn't take over the computing world (the first time).
That reminds me, I've been meaning to ask.
How's that Yugo working out for you?

See if you can make a hat trick, dude.
We're all cheering for you!

I'm not sure that I've ever seen anyone claim that.
You're filtering stories too high.

It's not a debt if you pay for it. Since we don't know what the amount was, assuming that he went into debt is just that: an assumption.
