If the real world worked like that, well we'd probably have a rather different value system. If killing someone meant they had to walk back for a couple minutes and caused them no permanent harm at all, I imagine it wouldn't be such a big deal.

the other operating systems don't exist, and if you're running a PC it must be running Microsoft Something. If you're running a Mac it must be running OS X.
Yet statistically, this is all more or less true. What's the problem?
There are people on this thread who have modified their computers to look like the Death Star, who think themselves superior to people who buy designer clothes.
No, there's a difference.
My Deathstar PC is for *me and my guests* to look at and enjoy.
Your silly designer/handmade non-sneakers are something you think *the rest of the world* would like to see you in.
Slashdot isn't really the bastion of Sex and the City fashion-crime support you think it might be.
Also: I modded my machine case myself. That makes it superior to something you bought whole from someone else, even if its planetary laser doesn't quite work yet.
1: When's the last time Apple released a GM to devs? When was that? If you've been in the dev seed program at all in the last three years, you'd know that the seeds are most certainly available for devs, and when there's a GM, the product ships.
2: 10.5 wasn't "out on time" due to to dev team reprioritization to the iPhone project. Everyone else appears to know this.
3: You say it hasn't been well tested in order to "get it out on time," yet it's also "a year late." Your schizophrenia clashes with your tie.
Great. So if go to the rifle range before boarding a flight, I can expect traces of GSR to be found on my person, followed by the requisite hauled-by-the-tits-out-of-line and interrogated-for-hours routines?
That's the craziest shit I've heard in days, and I've been watching the Cooking Channel, too. Battlefield 2 is THE buggiest shit-crap beta game I've EVER played.
Steam may have had issues, but they're mostly worked-out, and Steam/HL2 are mostly mature, or close to it. You're very, very silly to put them in the same room as BF2.
...in two years Microsoft will have a proprietary version, and in four years, that'll be the standard. (Remember Java? Or that one thing, uhhh...oh, yeah, adherence to the HTML spec?)
The bright side: at least we know, for sure, that it'll be poor.
Microsoft eats everyone's lunch; PDF's just the next thing on the plate.
Back when I'd primarily work on a bench with a wall behind it (as opposed to relatively-free-standing like I do now) I would always keep a mirror at the back of the bench, standing up and facing me.
This is to counter the effects of J!mmy's Rule: "The interface ports you can't see are not where your fingers remember them being."
Then he felt the need to explain that it used "slim, small" flash chips instead of a hard drive as if this was the first consumer device to ever use flash memory.
No, it's not. Then again, that's hardly the target market, now, is it?
Apple doesn't make l33t racing-stripe pro-gamer mousepads, either, nor does it allow for easy (L)user modding or overclocking. Again, gamers aren't the target market here.
Will this mouse be The Awesome for design professionals*, regardless of platform? I'd like to think so; we'll certainly see.
they claimed that the PowerPC architecture was superior to x86, and now they have changed their mind
That a company argues that its products are superior should not be causing sufficient surprise to warrant a/. post on your part.
The PowerPC architecture was superior in some ways, and the decision to go with Intel was due in no small part to IBM's basic inability to deliver (or even be a good business partner.)
Now they have gone from always claiming the simplicity of a one button mouse was better
Not "always." There are plenty of great reasons to lock functionality to a single mouse button; the new mouse retains the ability to do this per-user.
I hate to tell you guys, but its been done.
So has trolling. Hint: some of Apple's best design work is subtle, possibly exceeding the awareness-threshold of trolls.

Seriously, were you just making shit up there?

Shrug.
Titanium iBook? That sounds neat; was that released with the Titanium PowerBook?

The Hotmail beta "resembles a[...]local application?" Local to what? I don't use Windows.
I wonder how broken it'll be in Safari.

How is this in any way new, or important?
The only thing viral about Apple products in the last ten years is how they're marketed.
No, just the first to use it well.
Yes, but how will this break Windows?
No, it's not. Then again, that's hardly the target market, now, is it?

Hi, no one is playing CS, DoD, BF2, etc. on Macs [yet*], which are representative of the games where that type of performance counts.
This is -more- than enough mouse for WoW and everything that'll run in OS X.
