>> iOS may be a walled garden, but the walls are nowhere near as tall as some Apple bashers like to think.
Oh. So, the users should be thankful that Apple 'approved' off Opera? Fuck no - I would rather have something where I do not have depend on APPROVAL from the almighty Steve Fucking Jobs. That's my definition of walled garden.
Except that Google had this feature long before tineye? Just that they had taken that option off for some reason. Now they have re-introduced it, albeit with probably better or different algorithm.
He is just a salesman. He might be a great salesman, but still just a salesman. Once you stop sucking his balls, and take out his pubic hair from your mouth, you would see that.
>> Someone needs to tell Julian and Ricky that they can cover their pot growing operation with servers. Cops bust in see the servers and never look for the pot. Of couse I doubt that anyone would be competent to set up the serves. Maybe J-Roc.
J-Roc? Of all people? And not Bubbles? Oh come on!
Apple's entry into the game should have lowered the price, but it happened the other way round, as OP mentioned.
Competition is good only until market is not fixed. Apple's strategy is to fix the market with publishers/owners. Fuck them and fuck all the Apple apologists.
Seems like Jobs has released his shill army backed by his shill mod army. RUN!!
Anyway - going by your logic, Android is still doing 2.5 times better than your idevices.
Some people out there like, you know, choices. And ability to make decisions on their own. I know they are relatively new concepts for you, and you probably would not really like them anyway. Good luck with your walled garden.
>> Ubuntu is one of the most bleeding-edge and unstable Linux distributions
I know it's fashionable to bash Ubuntu on/. no matter what, but this conclusion boggles the mind. I don't care if you are pulling that out of your ass, but at least make sure it looks like a turd.
After burning my fingers with Gentoo five years back (while I was a complete noob), I opted for OpenSuse which literally fried my laptop. After which I have been a happy Ubuntu user - and using it for my primary desktop (and also serving music and all my photos, hosting my backup drive for other computers etc) for 4 years and counting. And it has been rock-solid. All the upgrades worked fine too without any problem. It's the most stable distro I have personally used. And no - it's not bleeding-edge as you make it out to be. Go for LTS and you are fine.
I still tinker around with other distros, but Ubuntu will remain my main desktop which I intend to use on daily basis for all the regular tasks.
Exactly my point. And I was replying to parent's suggestion to try commercial OSes to avoid this exact 'problem', that all OSes - commercial or 'free' go through the same cycles.

And do you even know why such assfucking happens only to Apple users? Yep, you guessed it right - because they like it so.
We might have meaningful discussion once your eyes clear off the haze resulting from the ass-banging by Steve Jobs. Let us know when that happens.

Wow! Really! Never thought about it.
Nokia gets 10$ for every iphone sold. Sure Apple is the winner!!
Anti-competitive behavior != Monopoly.
One is wrong from the onset, the other is not until abused to become anti-competitive. Learn the difference.
And like it or not, Apple is anti-competitive since the day they shipped the first itoy (if not earlier).
>> Not if Apple were working on theirs first, which they obviously were
So, let's ignore the facts, and just go with your assumptions which you are sure are solid facts just not yet discovered.
It's the fanbois like you I will never use any Apple product.
Yep, because money trumps everything. Right on, brother.
He is just a salesman. He might be a great salesman, but still just a salesman. Once you stop sucking his balls, and take out his pubic hair from your mouth, you would see that.
Deal with it.
Which should count for everything.
Not surprising at all. That's how Windows works too.
Has slashdot/online/other media ever let facts get in the way of a nice headline?
That credit cards collect the same information is completely irrelevant to the article - because that fact is simply discarded.
Aha. Apple fanbois in all their glory. Nice to meet you.
Because they are not assholes like Apple?
And you conveniently forgot - Apple copied LG Prada. What's your point?

You may very well criticize any open source project, but you lose all the credibility by saying itune is any good.
The worst piece of crap since real media player.
