I'll give you this one, but what works with iPods? Plus give me a downside to not using iTunes? I'll also think you will find that Linux users have no trouble using their iPods so something else out there works with iPods.
With regard to DRM, I suppose it works the other way round? But you're complaining about 2 products in effect which are designed to lock in users and you've found they are not compatible with each other? Well done.
With regard to MacOSX, nobody forces you to buy a Mac, so what is the problem here? What can't you get in the windows world which you would need on the Mac platform? Are you one of those people who want OSX but doesn't want to pay the premium for the hardware?
Killing the clones shouldn't be there. Does BMW create a lock in because you can only buy BMW's from them? At least Apple opened up the platform to try and negate that "lock in". Personally I don't think you know what a "lock in" really is. Your points seem hastily hashed out without any thought, I also didn't think you'd bring anything new to this age old debate.
If somebody made a baseless statement I'd ask for more information, in this case I made a snide comment which should provoke that person, after all, what does this person mean by "lock in". What am I going to refute when that person has not said anything but be vague. I'm also not in the business of gaining karma when I'm already at maximum and have been for 2 years now. Nice assumption on the fan boy part as well, yes I use a mac, doesn't mean I'm a fan boy, am I supposed to be taking you seriously?
Someone trolls on a subject, I prod for an explanation because I think its bullshit, but I have to explain myself? Then my motives behind this is purely for Karma, get real!
The parent has a chance to respond, I need not do anything else until he has spoken. Plus he has been modded accordingly.
As a Fine Art Photography student, I relish in the mistakes a camera can make. I have a Holga as crappy vivitar with a 22mm lens with lots of distortion and I buy out of date film with the hope that it fucks up and I get some weird colours from it. I want my cameras to fail. I don't have a camera phone yet but I have come to appreciate their inherent ability of not being able to take decent pictures. I'm happy the iphone is coming out with a crappy camera built it. But I'm in the minority and a lot of people don't know what a good photo is. For one thing, there is a perception that an accurate picture is a good picture.
What do atheists practice though, your quote includes that as a requirement and as a atheist, I don't do anything but refuse to accept another person's interpretation of how life works out.
I still disagree, those markets that Adobe have are the design markets, who makes the decision for designers, the designers of course! The professional markets know what they want and have been wanting and using it for over 20 years.
I see the Turbo function makes a comeback, I had this on my P166 back in 1998, good technology never dies. I ruled back then, until Intel came out with the P3 and made the internet even faster.
Those are 2 different types of DRM. Nobody is talking about protected music files. This is at the BIOS level which can control the Applications and Operating system. Your example again is proved incorrect by the simple fact that I can burn said DRM music to a cd and then reimport it back into iTunes and then bung it on the Sansa as a normal mp3 file... so to summerise, what the fuck are you talking about?
I noted the anti Apple remark. Kinda pointless when Apple have already proved you wrong by not limiting any OS on their machines because they already use this technology and they are instead promoting alternative OS'es to co-habit with OSX.
Really, Apple have sold a lot. Why would they lie, we know it is the most successful mp3 player on the planet, why must everything be nitpicked. In this case, its a huge conspiracy, Apple might not have sold a hundred million, they could be one or two off the mark. Shit they are still selling them now so any inaccuracies have been covered by today's sales. Talk about slow news day on the writers part. Apple puts out a fairly unremarkable press piece and somebody ponders whether they are telling the whole truth or not. Did anybody challenge SONY when they declared their sales figures for the Original Walkman?
Yes, I'm a fanboy but I didn't give a shit in the first place, I saw the headline on macrumors.com and didn't bother to investigate any further because its a non event to me. Come back to me when Apple sell 100 million macs in a 5 year period then dispute those figures.

Maybe not a question but I'm provoking him to explain himself.

Yes yes yes, I'm a troll and you're the better person, yadda yadda yadda, but again, what are these lock ins of which you speak?
I need no explanation If I'm doing the initial questioning.
The trolls are out I see. No explanation I suppose for that comment?
... and I'm going home to floss!
I wouldn't say it was normal but it would be acceptable. I think it would. I'm all for it.
The record industry is a big beast, you're gonna need nine inch nails to do it!
Let me know when you find it, but its going to take a while.

Irregardless, of this, I could care less. Rinux hasn't sold any copies in China.

Different PHB's, different market, Adobe has the credibility, not MS.
Ace find. So are you saying this stuff fucks with your mind? Or am I reading to much into it?
Don't worry, we can use iWork instead of indesign! For Illustrator, you also forgot Lineform btw.

It will surely drive innovation where ipod skins are concerned!

Yeah thing is, Apple has already done it.

So go on Ebay and buy a second hand one. Even the latest in laptop technology can be found there so you're not going to miss out on certain features.
... well you of course! Do I have to solve everybody's problems for them!!!
