Okay, the iPhone may be lacking in functionality, but it's a good-looking and user-friendly interface. Now, I admit, I was thinking mainly of Mac OS when I said that. And "near perfect" may be a bit of a stretch, but it certainly is is a better design than any other system I've tried.
"That's just an opinion, back it up with facts", you may say. Others have already done it. A rather deep analysis can be found at MacKiDo. Now, that's an old site, mostly talking about the "classic" Mac OS versus Windows 9x, but many points are still valid. Another site worth checking is Mac vs. Windows.
But let me tell you, it's no myth: usually Apple gets interfaces near perfect. No one beats them in that aspect. Now, don't get me wrong... I admire the free software ideal, and many Linux distros are fine-looking and quite user-friendly these days. If I couldn't run OSX, I'd not mind too much moving to Mint, for example. (Windows, on the other hand... yuck.)
Just out of interest, if there are problems with MS providing software to such governments, what does the Linux/GNU community do to make sure their tools are not used instead?
Well, during theGaza War, Linux Mint developer Clement Lefebvre requested that the Israeli government and anyone who support its actions do not use his system.
Stop wasting time on making the browser look different than the fucking OS you idiots.
Hear, hear, goddamnit, HEAR! Consistency is an essential quality of a good user interface. That's why I could never really stand Opera: you can make it look like anything, but good luck making it look like it belongs. And that's why I love Safari on the Mac, yet hate it on Windows: it looks alien to the system around it.
Here's a tip -- go to the themes page and look for something that fits your OS. Looks like custom themes are immune to this Persona shit.
I haven't played MW2, but found the first MW, contrary to the hype, to be a rather weak, terribly linear, and ridiculously short game with just a few great moments. So I can't believe the hype for the sequel unless I hear it's completely different. But in fact I heard it's ridiculously short again, so, no thanks.
The only way to generate money from IP is to use governments to create and enforce laws.
Meaning: before IP was invented, just a few hundred years ago, writers made no money. Which is, of course, absurd. IP is a scam, as much as religions or the war on drug.
Wait, a bit of a correction... Sega GT was the intended equivalent to Gran Turismo, but it wasn't that great (sloppy controls), while Metropolis Street Racer was just awesome.
I mentioned MSR because it was the equivalent to GT (and that soundtrack... Richard Jacques + TJ Davis = awesome). Crazy Taxi was something completely different. But actually, my favorite racing game for the DC was Daytona USA.

No, serious gamers play in arcades.
No, it's special software.
There are... ways around this limitation. *cough*

Mono means monkey... not really a good connotation.

I think Audrey Hepburn was really fine-looking, so... yes, mr. Hansen? You want me to take a seat over there?
Way too fucking long. How about, say... five years?
A misleading title. When I first heard of it, I thought it was something like Blockout.
Saying he didn't steal anything is a bit much unless he actually had a legitimate copy of whatever songs they said he infringed.
Copyright infringement and theft are completely different, unrelated things.

There was no trilogy. Please refrain from spreading such lies. Thank you.
Mind you, there are three games called "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade". I suppose you mean The Graphic Adventure, because the others were atrocious.

Yes, but why would anyone want to?
Eww. Why ruin a perfectly good Gnome like that?
Sssorry, it ssseemsss there wasss a jammed key in my keyboard. But I think it'sss fixed now.

Get this, India (and Sri Lanka) are both in Asia!
Huh? Are you unaware of how parentheses are used?
That's as bad as the time when I downloaded an album in wma...
More like seeing the bad guy EXPOSED in the media.
