...how low can Microsoft go? Why must I here about them having a finger in every pie and subverting everything in the computing industry, i'm sick of them and those people who were working on the open format should be shot because they have no soul or no better sense of judgement. Surely they must of seen MS making a grab for this and embrace and extend it again? Why is everybody so willing to deal with them?
...i thought this was about mobs of people bringing their computers to times square for 10 minutes setting up a quick LAN and ten disappear again!

Employee: Boss I cannot come to work today, i'm sick.
Boss: Sick, again! This is the third time this week! How sick are you?

Kodak is a superb innovator and without them the market cannot survive, it isn't competition that is killing them or market changes, its PIRACY!
People all over the net are trading in online photos that should be printed off using Kodak processes, these criminals are killing the market which everybody benefits from. Since people are ignoring kodak and seeing it as a fight against the fat cats and big business, kodak will now be pressured to speak to their concerned congressmen and pass laws prohibiting online photo swapping software. Kazaa is small fry compared to all those iPhoto users and the illegal photo software that is bundled with a competitors digital camera. Its circumventing the whole photo process and thats probably breaking some clause in the DMCA. I implore online users to stop this and make it worse for everyone, use Kodak's stuff otherwise there won't be any new talent or new products from this fine standing company.
Just remember, every email you send with an attached image is a kill and an illegal act of photo distribution
Well i saw this as a throwaway comment anyway so why go into detail about it, thanks for the reply however and its nice to know that not all AC's are complete buggers.
Gibson owes his remarkable career to a bus-stop epiphany.
"I remember [in the early '80s] seeing posters for the small, semi-portable version of the Apple IIc," he says. "Quite a lot of what I subsequently imagined in my early science fiction simply came from seeing that ad in a bus stop.
Apple at the forefront again, another item you can add to the list of Apple firsts!
We go have a postal service and if your friends live near you could burn it to cd and then give it them and so forth, how is that going to be traced unless you were being watched beforehand? MS may be smart but i'm sure paranoid hackers are alread one step ahead and thought about this.
...but I don't have a TV, as soon as I would get one I would also buy the GC. However I wouldn't want a TV, so until I can hook a GC upto a monitor, THATS the day i get one, other than that i'm not interested in other consoles.
Apples marketshare is calculated against an enire computer industry and people expect Apple to gain marketshare? that means that have to sell more computers THAN the industry to have that figure climbing back up again. As long as they make a profit who cares, other than know nothing tech reporters?
Well okay i RE-READ your post. Lets see where to start...
He doesn't push anything, the PR department does.
And I noticed you spelt Hypocrite wrong.
Being serious however, we all have a choice and its us who is at fault if a negative comes from our choices. They may control the doors but we have the keys.
It also says something of somebody if they market shit to kids but have their kids eat good stuff. It should make you think, why does he do that? Is it because he knows better and wants the best for his kids future? If yes then seperate what you said and realise his personal choices are nothing to do with what he sells.
He is also a Vegan most probably because he thinks animals have a right to live but you don't see him doing the opposite and pushing for legislation do you and forcing people to not eat meat? He has the money to do so but he doesn't, again his choice but he doesn't have it encroach onto us simple folk.
If you see that and I see that I'm sure others do as well, however there are less creatives types than non-creative types so in a numbers game they lose.
I do not remember having an Apple or Pixar Employee putting a gun to my head and shouting in deafening tones "BUY OUR FUCKING STUFF" as i stroll through town on occasions.
As Jobs proves, the bottom line doesn't have anything to fear... his Computer company makes a profit and so does his animation studio... plushas huge mindshare to boot, conservatives have something to learn.
That means what to the point a made?
As a side note, i don't watch TV either or drink "sickly sodas", they are both detrimental to the human condition, looks like Jobs is being a reponsible father, I would do the same.
Besides its not like he could do the rest of the population the sam favour is it? Big money and power comes from feeding kids crap foodstuffs and having them watch TV all day long.

I have actually looked but the trouble is I have a mac... they don't seem to want to work with each other, don't assume things, ask first.

So true, well done with that reply.
MOD HIM UP, this is a valid point and a topical discussion is coming from it!
I wonder if it was a mac user who modded you down, i'll admit they can be biased sometimes.
