There are... lemme see... four, yes, 4 ways to do a "right-click" in OS X. Five actually, if you're using a unibody MacBook. So the answer to your question is... no.
As for the general behavior of Windows vs. OS X, I like how OS X isn't trying to steal your attention at every turn. Compared to Windows, you get very few popups, warnings etc. You rarely even get a sound. Vista, of course, is the most extreme in-your-face OS experience. I wonder how Windows 7 will treat the user.
Just one problem: we're talking about two different animals here. The PBS critter is Microraptor, found in at least 2003, while the new four-wing in TFA is Anchiornis (and it's older than Microraptor, which is an important part of the story).
Interesting. However, a similar "total headfuck" still lives on in British (and American) measurement: feet, inches, stones whatever... Greetings from a happy user of the Metric System.
Nothing bad about trying out the alternative to find out how it works, but is there really some kind of intrinsic value in rooting for the underdog - especially when this underdog is Microsoft? Not to say that Google isn't big (and eeeevil), but MS definitely *is* big (and eeeevil), not just that much in search tech. Same goes for anti-iPod pro-Zune fanboys.
I also don't think being against the grain for the sake of being against the grain is quite honest intellectually. I hope if you find Bing more useful than Google, you end up preferring it because of that, not because of being different from the percieved mainstream.
The funny thing is, in Europe protestants are in general the more liberal Christians (there are some pockets of fundamentalists, of course). Probably because all the not-so-liberal ones sailed to the other side of the Atlantic.
"I'm glad they're pushing it out more aggressively as that means more people will get better standards support and less-awful javascript performance..."
Exactly. If there's anything where MS's cramming-it-down-your-throat approach to software updates is justified, this is it. The sooner we have all the IE-using people using the latest, least-sucking version of IE, the better. I, for one, don't want to make any more IE6 hacks to my XHTML & CSS.
Of course I don't know, you might have some special need for three physically separate buttons on a laptop, but I'm actually happier using the "retarded" "one-button" (physically) track pad of my MacBook than I ever was with a two-button Windows laptop (yes, I'm a switcher). It's quicker to do a 'right click' with a tap of two fingers (or hold two fingers on the track pad and click) than to point at a specific button to click.
For serious work, I have a multi-button separate mouse which is better than any kind of track pad anyway.
Somehow, trying to evoke empathy - a basic human trait - is a 'liberal' thing to conservatives. It's funny, really. The grandparent is a 'beautiful' illustration of the conservative mindset.
No comment about the ban on draining swamps, but just a reminder about this: the mosquitoes eventually became resistant to DDT, so the current malaria malaise would've happened with or without DDT.
It is, and in German they like really long sentences, too. Especially in older German (think of 60 years back and older) sentences can easily be half a page long. (But then again, long and meandering sentences were rather popular in Victorian English, too.)
The thing is even worse, since it makes the heads of us librul Mac-heads to explode because of its contadictory nature: how can a guy like Rush Limbaugh be a Mac user???
People DO like change if it's something they want/something that isn't forced upon them. Like Windows users who switch to Mac (or Linux): they are used to the Windows user interface, but are willing to switch to an other OS because the positives outweigh the negatives of learning something new, and they themselves want the change.

Sorry about throwing the troll some fodder.

"So yeah-- they had and even may have fanboys."
"May" have? You should read some technology blogs. Engadget and Gizmodo are full of MS/Windows/Zune fanboys. Go figure.

It's not the news that's slow here.

Exactly. One word: gorilla arm. (Or is that two words..?)

OK, now I think I understand why Apple shuns HDMI. Why don't they just make one cable to rule them all?

I find it rather incredible that supposedly computer-literate people in the year 2009 still think Macs only have one-buttoned mice.
Physically, yes. Functionally, no.
"I want two or three mouse buttons."
Of course I don't know, you might have some special need for three physically separate buttons on a laptop, but I'm actually happier using the "retarded" "one-button" (physically) track pad of my MacBook than I ever was with a two-button Windows laptop (yes, I'm a switcher).

In Soviet Russia, the US Military Networks attack YOU! Now, wait...
Yeah, California nuclear plants with the rock-solid San Andreas Fault beneath... More nukular plants to Kaleefornyah!
1. Hmmm, I want me some profit
2. Somebody set up us the phishing website
3. ???
4. Profit!
Heh, with this project the NES might finally live up to its original name, Famicom (abbreviated from Family Computer)!
Oh, and also check this...
Now you will.

North Korea doesn't want the West to know what's there in detail, and South Korea doesn't want North Korea to know...
