Again, you get my motives wrong, I'm not angry. But now you belittle me and my comments, showing that you are not really interested in staying on topic. Small facts are just as important in this world as big ones, they are needed, keeping them known should prevent little problems like we have here which then turn into bigger problems. Btw, this fact has historical significance in the computing world, it shouldn't be allowed to taken over by trolls and the ignorant.
To be fair as well, it was microsoft who was responsible for giving us the computing world we have today. They were responsible for the emerging x86 platform being the standard where developers could write for loads of hardware but for one OS. That was a great thing back then
However, a lot of people would say apple created the computer environment we have today, which we know is false, they were responsible for the personal computer yes and that is it. Its another small fact and something which I'm interested in telling others if people are wrong about a particular subject. Telling the world isn't my goal, there are other people to preach to the ignorant masses. The point is, i'm not biased and I believe in the truth more than anything, if thats a bad thing then go fuck yourself and tell the world about what you deem is interesting. Plus I'm as calm as a hinda cow telling you this, so don't let the dramatic use of the F word throw you off when writing your reply.;)
I agree on what you say, but I have to nitpick your first sentence about people feeling the need to upgrade frequently. This is more of an opinion on them. Its kinda silly when there are still OS9 users or even win95 users out there, nobody forces them to upgrade. I'm also under the impression that you are a developer yourself. Just so we are not confused, I'm talking about the typical home user.
How can you license something and copy it at the same time, surely once you license something, you're using it? Also for your information, Xerox didn't design the entire desktop metaphor has had Apple did.
Its the knee-jerk reaction to something which is repeated and repeated and repeated and repeated over and over again. I'm tired of reading it in EVERY story concerning GUI's or Apple in general. Its posted like its new information and has never been discussed before. At least get my motives right.
(You cannot even post without being anonymous, shows you stand by your comment) . Why is this falsehood still presented as fact? Apple licensed the GUI from Xerox but MS copied their desktop metaphor from Apple. How many times does it need repeating until the trolls and the uninformed shut the fuck up and bring different points to the table?
"You'll pay for a whole seat but only use the edge"!
Thats what I remember from the advert which I pissed my pants over when watching the Simpons and that was the words to hype up a show for Truckasorous or something.
Nobody I know has died yet from diseases. But a young girl I use to know, committed suicide accidentally while trying to escape her lesbian lover (suffocated on wires) and the other (technically brain dead) who was in a motorcycle accident. What does that say about the truth, this is where you'd get the other causes of death from.
Multi-monitor support has been on macs before they were on windows, its MS that had to play catch up in the early 90's. Infact, when win95 came out, nobody was really bothered about it supporting up to 7 monitors because Apple had already done it. So you are right, its nothing new, it isn't a big fuss either except nobody else at the moment does 30" monitors like apple does. Hence the excitement.
Yet Apple uses the same standard USB controllers like everyone else in the industry. Maybe its the type of partition which makes it different, plus, most pen drives or formatted for FAT32. OSX and XP can read from that but of course OSX is going to suffer because the OS doesn't run on FAT32.
All the problems you list seem like fanciful thinking but thats only because iTunes for me has never misbehaved. What are you running it on? I know on windows it is a bit of a resource hog. So yes it does suck (correcting myself here) but only for windows users maybe?
Slashdot Mirror
That was a funny post, you truly gave me laugh with that one. For your information, MS licensed off Apple and not Xerox btw.
Sorry can't tell truthfully whether you are being honest or sarcastic! :)

Something I don't watch...
there was an Apple console years ago, it was called Pippin.
That was MS's choice however. They could of stayed a software company making apps for the mac or create an OS to run on varying hardware.
I do believe Longhorn was originally supposed to be out in 2005 btw all those years ago.
Plus with each new version, the development time is getting longer by their own admission.
Actually Apple were killing themselves, MS didn't have to do anything.
Going with the flawed metaphor, Steve actually licensed the TV.

Which was the point I was trying to make!
The best bit for me was the first helicopter at the dam, how to take it out as well. Plus anytime the troops ganged up on me in order to take me out.

Deny that you're a fat fuck?
Personal experience doesn't mean its the rule, its just that, personal experience.
Thats what I meant.
Art isn't that easy. If you cannot draw or understand what is good design, you're fucked.
