Openstep is a public standard. Anyone can feel free to implement it for themselves. Cocoa is based on Openstep, and is in fact mostly compatible with it.
Halt! You haven't played one of the greatest 8 bit games of all time!
Castle Wolfenstein was AWESOME!!! You could dress up as a Nazi, and try to fool 'em, by saluting at the right time, etc, and I think a lot of the subtlety of this game was erased with RTCW - they left out half the cool stealth factor of the game (OOOOH, a silenced Sten, that's stealth) in favor of fucking monster time.
Media Center PC is Great!!! I won one at the state fair (no shit) and it's really nice! Additionally, it's free (no monthly fees or any fees of any kind). Windows Media Center Edition XP does need to be reinstalled every couple of months or else it gets whacky, and the video is recorded in some proprietary format, but other than those problems, it's pretty cool.
There is such a thing as an overcommitment to the validity of truth in science -- i.e. so that existing scientific theory becomes ossified and dogmatic, leading to ad hoc theoretical additions, rather than the continual scrutiny of theory needed for advancement.
Egyptology being a huge example of an ossified science that ignores facts, content to wallow in century-old ideas that are demonstrably wrong.
1. Cars and people that don't flat out disappear when they leave my field of view.
2. Intelligent enemies that don't cheat, and that can figure out stairs / ramps / etc.
3. Newspapers that don't blow around the street and under a building through a crack in the polygon structure.
4. Allies that aren't just sitting ducks.
5. More vehicles. Real ones.
6. A system for vehicle generation that doesn't suck ass (get in a truck, drive around, pretty soon 90% of the cars out are trucks).
7. The ability to aim with ANY weapon.
8. You know that guy who just runs in a corner endlessly? Get rid of him and all his clones.
9. Missions that take thought, and aren't just impossibly difficult or arcane. (Messin' with the Man, anyone? I could get 5 stars and not fill the gauge. I finally passed when somebody told me to 'just shoot a car until it blows up, and keep shooting at the twisted wreckage').
That's not marketshare, that's percentage of new machines sold.
It's almost impossible to determine marketshare accurately. However, the service life for a Mac is, on average, thrice that of a PC - making attempts at calculating marketshare based on pure sales numbers a joke at best, and fraudulent at worst.
I don't know, because I refuse to install the Mac version. The reason is that it requires a root password, and who knows what kinda shit they'll spray all over my disks? Knowing Real, that'd include a keystroke logger among other things.
Maybe when they can offer a Macintosh product that installs in the proper Macintosh way (drag and drop the fucking icon, none of this root privileges shit) I'll give it a shot.
The only programs I use on my Macintosh are the ones that don't require a root password - I just KNOW they're either coded by incompetent idiots, or installing spyware.
I never had problems with my FW 400 (OX 911 chipset) before 10.3 and the 10.3.1 update did nothing. I have updated the firmware, but the drive becomes unresponsive after a few hours. The only solution is a reboot.
These aren't me too cases, even Oxford acknowledges that there are problems.
You sound kind of ignorant when you spout pure bullshit like you are now.

When I eat a nice pork chop, at least it's dead. When you bite into that apple, it's STILL ALIVE! Can you hear the tiny distributed screams?
No, people would be bitching if ID called Quake II v. 1.2 Quake III, which is what Sun have done. It isn't Java2, it's Java 1.4
Wired and wireless TV remotes have been around for a LONG LONG time. Since the 60s.
It was about the size of a case of Rolling Rock put onto its side. Since you're almost 21 you should know what I'm talking about.
It's available on BitTorrent right now. Both versions 2 and 3.

No, all the talk about openness was in reference to the fact that you open the case with one wing nut.

Yeah. Gates smooth talks Jobs into giving him a pre-production Mac, and then Gates has his boys rip into it and make Windows.
That's innovation.
No, dragging something to the dock puts in an entry for it in the Dock's .plist file. There is no alias creation or destruction at all.
Why the heck are you double clicking anything on the dock?
The dock only needs single clicks.
Wait, is Java 1.5 really Java 2 or Java 3?
Fucking Java.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.
That's only true to a certain extent. Get in a semi, go near the beach, and there'll be mostly semis with a few convertibles. Try it.

I could go on, but I would like some money first.
Maybe you aren't aware that Apple made a linux distro YEARS ago.
Maybe you aren't aware that Apple has contributed TONS to GCC, BSD, and many other projects.
Maybe you need to visit Apple's Open Source web page and read up a bit.
Apple's AAC is actually licensed from Dolby and improved upon - it's the only AAC encoder that DOESN'T sound like shit.
Apple's AAC at 96 blows away MP3s at 192. At least to my ears they do (listened to on Klipsch monitors and Yamaha NS10s).
The drivers are contained wholly within iTunes (and its child programs) so they can't really fuck with 'em.
The real question is "How long until a Windows Update breaks QT / iTunes / iPod?"

Are you listening, Adobe?
It's kind of insane to buy a new product until a couple of revisions later (IMHO).
I won't be getting a G5 until next fall at least. They'll be faster and nicer, and have any bugs worked out to boot!
That's actually just the Apple description of the update, copied line-for-line.
