    It's not even 'sorting' if you put your trash in different coloured bins as you're in the process of throwing it out. We have two extra bins next to the normal one, it's no big deal.

    How did you find out Jonny Ive bought a cupcake on Laguna Beach, are you close friends? Better inform macrumours of this scoop. Oh wait, you meant 'I've'.

    If that was sarcasm, you should use the snark sign and type properly. The sarcasm got lost in such a poorly constructed sentence, I thought I was replying to a non-native English speaker.

    I never said 'stole' either but thanks for confirming what you were thinking anyway. :)

    Regarding Apple vs Samsung, I have no true informed comment so I won't pretend otherwise. I did have some links to share but I've misplaced them.

    So to be informed on a topic is to be a fanboy, even when supposed fanboy presents evidence that doesn't credit Apple? Yeah that makes a bunch of sense.

    Clearly you should be doing some thinking first. That's such a lazy ill-thought out argument.

    I wish people would shut the fuck up about this. It's been discussed to death that Apple didn't do those things. Deals were made, shares were given out, staff from Xerox were hired, ideas were improved on, GUI metaphors were thought out. Drag and Drop wasn't invented by Xerox for example, Apple created that. If you read even Job's biography, those at Xerox get the credit for the mouse and the GUI.

    As for the smartphone, Apple never said they invented the smartphone, just they made a leapfrog product.

    Dude, you do know Apple contributes to open source right, hello Webkit? That's just for starters.

    How is it exclusive when the barrier to entry is the same as everything else; money. Yes it costs a little more, but they consider themselves a luxury brand, so buy it or don't. It's your choice just like everybody else's.

    Yes, drag and drop and a whole room of designers didn't figure that out. Chillout and enjoy whatever you use that obviously isn't a Mac.

    As a Mac user, there isn't anything I feel locked out of compared to a Windows or Linux user. You should cite examples, you know, to make your argument stronger.
