When most users that seek out an other internet browser can identify what the internet is, and most IE users call the internet, "That's the little blue thing, right?"
Actually I am about as liberal as you can get, but I don't believe that everyone has an inherent right to things just because they want them.
Last time I checked an iPod is not essential to living, so your arguement is quite void.
My point is pure supply and demand, don't expect a price drop until a product becomes unsuccessful.
Has anyone here EVER heard of price and demand? WHY on earth would Apple lower its price on an item that is selling VERY well? Just because someone wants it is NOT a good reason to expect a price drop.
Try going into a BMW dealer and ask for a discount cause you want one. Not only would they laugh at you, they would have good reason to.
This has NOTHING to do with bad Apple business practices, just the opposite. They are selling a boatload of iPods at the CURRENT prices. If you can't afford one, get a job and SHUT-UP!
This is just plain ridiculous, as stated the bug may not be in 10.2, and on top of that, just because a patch has not come out yet, does not mean that it is not going to come out.
Show me ONE software company that posts lists of patces that are yet to come! If a company did do that, all they would be doing is making a list of bugs for people to exploit.
Typical Mac bashing, plain and simple.
The thought process here is that since something is more prevelant, and therefore has more facets available to it. By this rationale, economy cars are better than luxury cars.
This idea of thinking breeds out innovation, as innovative products always start small and with an even smaller audience.
Compliance does not breed right.

They just might be a bit more tech saavy.
Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me.
This ought to shut-up the iTunes critics. Lets see what Napster does to try and compete with this.

Everyone talks about us Mac zealots, and yet no one ever talks about the Anti-Mac zealots, and let me tell you there are a lot of them.
Finally someone who gets it, see my posting and the reaction that I got, yikes.

I was not referring to the quicktime bug, and geez why are you so freaking wriled up?
