That's a nice and easy explanation, but it's false. When all you get from the email is a subject line that says "OMG! Reply now, lp0 on fire!" what do you expect a user to do? They have little choice but to open it in order to assess the issue correctly. It could be important, it could be a scam. You can no longer tell by the subject line.
The fail is on Microsoft. 9 years -- 9 friggin years (probably a lot longer), and this is still a problem. Why?? What's the problem with fixing the stupid application so the user can't shoot themselves in the foot just by opening an email? If the entire windows subsystem must rely on such a mechanism in order to function then it's a mega-massive-epic fail and Microsoft ought to be held accountable for it.
This is no different than a car manufacturer mounting a spear on the front of the car and then blaming drivers for stabbing pedestrians. Yes, they need to watch where they're going, but the DESIGN IS FRIGGIN FLAWED. fix it or nix it already.
a company making an individual decision to sell/not sell a game doesn't classify as censorship. If the chinese gov't said it would not be allowed in the country under penalty of death, that's censorship. I say kudos to gamestop for placing empathy over money. Too bad more companies didn't prioritize that way.
which is what this fundamentally comes down to. You can't dis-prove one theory with another theory because they are both just that; theories. It's up to you which theory you choose to put your faith in.
There's no future in management, and geeks hate managing people anyway so wtf? I've been asked a few times and no, I won't do it. Thing is, I like writing code. I *enjoy* it. It's why I come to work and what I like to do. I don't *want* to referee the personalities in the office and I surely don't want to be the one who answers for everyone else's fuckups. Not to mention, excess management is usually the first to get cut when job reductions go around. who wants that? I'd rather be a hired hand for some consulting outfit. The benefits suck, and people think your dogsh#t, but if you can get over that it's a good application for experience and the change of scenery on projects is nice too.
So keep plugging your network cables or whatever you do from your 40th percentile income bracket, and leave the thinking to people who went to college.
Although I can understand your polarized response, and likewise relate to the original comment, a pedigree does not equate to instant wisdom.

> Well since Apple isn't forcing anybody to buy their stuff, the bottom line is people like it.
Indeed. At the moment nobody is crying foul due to a strong-arming by Apple and nobody is concerned with their intellectual property being locked into a proprietary system. Given time this is bound to, and will, happen. A guaranteed way to maintain advantage over the competition is to create a dependency. Microsoft does this and continues to enjoy a userbase locked into jet databases and Word documents on a platform which is, historically speaking, less than ideal in terms of security. It is far too costly to abandon the platform so customers make do with conditions which could be substantially improved if the platform were more open accessible.
People like Apple products because of the image the devices portray (popularity), the image of the company (one guy against the world) and the unique hardware implemented (oooh ponies).
To use the popular slashdot analogy, imagine you were faced with a car purchase: One car is extremely pretty, yet costs a premium. a lot of people own it, and it has gull-wing doors; however: you can only buy your petrol at one establishment. Replacement parts are twice the cost. You must have special tools to work on it, and these can only be purchased, at a premium, through Apple; if you have a special license. Competition is stifled, there are no alternative options.
The second car is a less attractive, costs 1/3 less the cost of the Apple car, parts can be purchased from a myriad locations, standard tools are all that's needed for maintenance. There are alternative pieces readily available which allows a competitive marketplace to thrive.
Which purchase would you make? Do you know why the majority will purchase the Apple car? Because the purchase decision is made based on an emotional context rather than a rational one. Marketing is very familiar with this concept and this is why you see booth babes at Cons instead of well informed pencil necked geeks.
Yes I have a macbook on my desk and sometimes an iPad. I dislike both for the reasons mentioned above along with a few others I won't bother listing.
If that were me I would have thought the guy was trying to jack my bike. Unmarked car + unmarked cop = high probability for things to go badly. Brandishing a firearm on top of that is just plain stupidity.
I've never seen a group of people so willing to pay a premium for (assumed) social status and pretty hardware in exchange for a platform which requires you to give up most of your freedom to experiment and innovate; except within the strict boundaries of what's allowed by Apple.
