Why can't people stop and think for a moment before they start defending their beloved Apple. At the end of the day it is a corporation selling products and there is no such thing as an honest corporation.
Instead of a calling it an iPhone they should call it the new iPod with phone functionality. So the people who are not tech savvy are not confused. Telephones are also used by people who still live under a rock and replaceable battery is a standard.
PS - Apple fans please think before replying and/or posting you views. And if you think you have given it enough thought then think again.
on the same note considering US is a super power why does it need to put weapons in space?
And you don't agree with Indian because a third world country is rising beyond its stereotypical image? There are a lot of problems in this world be it a third or a first world country, putting an end to the development of science is not an answer to that. And to your counter argrument that they are reinventing the wheel. well not everybody is cooperative enough to share their technology with the rest of the world. so countries like india have to restort to reinvention of the wheel.
"We think our software is far more secure than open-source software. It is more secure because we stand behind it, we fixed it, because we built it. Nobody ever knows who built open-source software."
Mr Ballmer, there is a diffrence between crackpot thoughts and facts. I suppose as a CEO you must have been advised at one point or another to check for facts and crackpot thoughts before presenting them. Or do you speak from your a** all the time?
I have seen the movie Mr.3000 and would say that Dan Glickman's son should be happy that people are buying the DVD because anybody in the right state of mind wouldn't. It is a totally worthless movie. If thats whats lost revenue they will never be able to cut it down unless they improve the quality of the films being made.
Judge Dred, the movie. Where the guns strapped each bullet that was fired with the owners DNA and nobody except the owner could use the gun. Fiction becoming a reality.
The porn industry said that it didn't care as long as people share the porn within themself and weren't making a profit out of it, so most of us are fine and shouldn't be affected my our friends at MPAA/RIAA.
"At a recent gathering of venture capitalists Ballmer went so far as to suggest Microsoft might own intellectual property in Linux and assured the audience that Microsoft would pursue any violation of its own patents. Before he spoke, a fire alarm went off."
Firstly it might be true the other way round, that Windows contains code from Linux but we have no way of telling. We know they got the ftp program from BSD.
Windows group chief James Allchin accuses Linux of being a cheap knockoff: "There's no innovation. Linux is still in the business of cloning existing technology."
Isn't this the primary business of microsoft these days. Don't innovate clone (Attack of the M$ clone:) ). The search engine, blog and the list goes on and on.
Seriously, if the military was using M$, why would anybody need to worry about sabotaging the code. I think nobody does it the M$ way. 5+ years since I have used M$ and the blue screen of death is still their speciality and with every new version the probability of seeing the blue screen increases.
In some cultures it is believed that people start hallucinating when they are nearing their end. Just like microsoft, yesterday it thought it could take on Unix,Linux variants in terms of security and today it is thinking about 1 billion window users.
PS- Bill, please stop smoking. You can't smoke and come to work;-)
fire the customer is someting I have never heard of. The market was driven by supply and demand and in case of best buy if they fire the customer who keeps them in business then they might as well shutdown their store. FYI beggars can't be choosers. it funny how worst buy is whining because customers spending their money wisely.Honestly do they plan to dictate to the customers on how to spend their hard earned money?
why doesn't M$ make its product more secure so that there are fewer holes to begin with? shutting down internet of people whose computers send spam without their knowledge is not an answer. its like holding somebody else responsible for ur mistakes when you are equally responsible.
I think opening up scientific literature to public is the greatest thought. How many times have you wanted to read some papers on a subject only to find that you to shell out a few dollars before you can get access to them.
Knowledge should be free. I think by limiting access to scientific literature we are restricting free thinking. By giving free access the efficiency of the scietific community will double. More scientists will be able to collaborate rather than compete. Two heads are better than one.
Thanks you for choosing Microsoft.Please choose from one of the following:
1. Windows XP Home on PII-233 with 32MB RAM $20/month 2. Windows XP Home on PIII-500 with 64MB RAM $30/month 3. Windows XP pro on PIV-2.8Ghz with 128MB RAM $100/month 4. *To option 3 add $10 for every extra 0.1Ghz(Max 2.8Ghz) and $5/MB of RAM(max 4Gb).
WARNING - Recommended minimum PIV-2.0Ghz with 128Mb RAM. For watching videoes 512Mb of RAM is recommended.

Two things.
A. Not supported means they won't provide tech support.
B. SUSE and other flavors use the kernel from kernel.org
If GPLv3 doesn't suit you can still use GPLv2. It is still out there.
feel you have been cheated on ?? HAHAHA

Bottom line they are in the race to buy out the competition. DoubleClick is Googles closest competitor.
the carbon dioxide and warmer temperature will sure prepare the coming generations for Martian climate.

Ship to US and keep the prices low and you can add me to your customer list.

Hope Google adds a site similar to akamai's NOC which displas google stats even though google downplays when it comes to numbers.
