2. Linux is hte only OS that counts? By whose standard exactly?
3. OS X costs $129, unless you get a discount, like I did. Panther cost me $39. XP still costs over $200.
4. My real last name is, if you'd bother to check my profile, is Gruber. So yes, grubi is a legitimate nickname. Seeing as my name is plastered all over my profile and my websites, I'd hardly say I'm "anonymous". Feh.
Something tells me you don't actually have any friends, hence the weird obsession with other peoples' computers.
What an odd piece of work you are. It's late, though. and your mom will be pissed if she finds out you're using her Packard Bell on AOL this late at night. Tsk tsk... Off to bed, baby boy.
1. Why is the achievement of a port pointless? And why are you spending your time worrying about what people think about this?
2. So what? Is Windows the only OS that "counts", then? How dull you must be to think so.
As far as quality, that's part of the pro-Mac argument. And why would you act so insecure as to worry what complete strangers are doing with their free tim ewith two operating systems you obviously don't care about?
So you're admitting you're a child? Maybe I don't understand how people like me somehow don't have a life, but people who specifically try to start fights somehow do...
Most computer users are just that: users. Not programmers. Some (actually, most) folks want stuff that works well. And some other folks are nice enough to submit their time and effort to give those users something.
And once in a while, it's free. And how does a port of Konqueror help Apple? Doesn't it help their customers instead? Why is this an issue with you?
OS X has more home users than Linux. Why do you care either way?
Why does this item bother/concern you? Are you that small, that you cannot leave this story, which some folks find interesting, alone? Most likely you are.

Dammit -- stop arguing against my rants with logic. You're ruining my self-esteem.
Sure, use logic and facts to decimate my argument. ;-)
Quick question: what's coming out first? Longhorn or Duke Nukem Forever?
* At least one other download store will join Apple in using the Dolby "AAC" encoding format, because that's the only way to reach iPod owners.
Um, hello? What? MP3 works perfectly well on iPods. Always has. Why is AAC the "only way" to reach iPod users?
I think you've got too much optimism (is it optimism? I think so) in your predictions, but, then again, I'm a failed expert. :-)
Picture phones will become pervasive; it'll be unusual not to have one.
Dear God, no: I think it's dumb to have one device that does two things badly rather than own two devices that do each thing moderately well.
But, then again, I'm a dreamer, eh?
Wait... no Doom 3?
;-)
Dammit.
I cannot figure out if this prediction gets funnier or stupider each time I read it.
Anyone else got it figured out?
I see you don't let a little thing like spelling get in the way of your ignorance.
That's much awesome. Good for TBL.
Thank you. :-)
Burden of prrof: you state something, you'd better be prepared to back it up.
"Everybody knows" is not an argument; it's bullshit.
And if the equation is "simpel," maybe you'd be able to reveal this magic equation?
1. Not a stupid fuck. Tooo bad for you.
2. Linux is hte only OS that counts? By whose standard exactly?

It's the first person singluar personal pronoun.
iClaudius.
iRobot.
iPalindrome.i
etc.
"But then, I would be generalizing."
;-)
And that would be rude.

Jesus, you a simple, simple tool.
So what? I've used the other major OSs extensively and, quite frankly, they're more hassle than they're worth FOR ME. I finally found an OS I like.
Why do you care? Have you nothing else to entertain you? Don't you own a TV or did your mom put you on restriction?
"Linux will eventually overtake and eclipse Apple's offerings"
According to what information exactly?
1. The browser is not the point. The port is the point.
2. How do you define "bit player"? If millions of people use it, how is that "bit"?
And what does market share have to do with quality?
So you're admitting you're a child? Maybe I don't understand how people like me somehow don't have a life, but people who specifically try to start fights somehow do...
Wait -- people who like the products a company puts out are "groupies"? How's THAT work?
And Apple (in case no one told you) didn't put out the port of Konqueror. A private citizen did. So what's the problem?
So, why exactly do you care? You don't like Apple; we got it. Some of us do.
Okay. Now explain why you care about this story at all.
No, kiddo; YOU don't get it.
Most computer users are just that: users. Not programmers. Some (actually, most) folks want stuff that works well. And some other folks are nice enough to submit their time and effort to give those users something.

Ooh... tough words from the anonymous!

So, you deal with it, Anonmymous Coward.
