Why would Apple want to support the Ogg Vorbis format? Call me
cynical, and I've said this before, but what's in it for Apple?
Nothing. In fact, if the article (which I, in the proudest of the
slashdot traditions, haven't read) is correct, you would need a beefier
processor to handle OGG, which would probably bring additional battery
cost. So, is Apple going to reduce battery run time for everyone to
please a vocal minority? Well, they didn't get to where they're now for
being fools.
The clothing was the most dissapointing graphical aspect of Spirits
Within.
Agreed. Ditto for the Matrix Reloaded, by the way. Check it out if
you have it on DVD; it is painfully obvious to tell when Burly Brawl
(Neo vs 100 Smiths) switches to "CGI mode" - your "suspension of
disbelief" vanishes as, within a split second, every detail on Neo's
robe and the reflections off everyone's sunglasses (guess thesun.exe
just crashed) disappear and you get to watch in shock how what was a
complex pattern turns into the plainest grey ever seen.
Uh, that and the rubber-made spinning Agent Smith anyways.
are we all going to change our stance because its Apple?
Well, yeah. It's called reputation and it doesn't appear out of
thin air; a company needs a good PR team and competitive products to
earn it.
Don't worry though, the system is self-fixing - if they annoy their
customers beyond a certain point or
start behaving like really bad kids,
you'll get more Apple-bashing than you can handle. After all, and IIRC
that was what happened in the pre-Jobs-comeback era, when the Apple
is dying trolls ran rampant.

I think he means, you know, like when you avoid walking by a woman fearing that she might bite you or try to talk to you or something.
Guess he's scared of the Internet; he probably thinks it's going to laugh at his looks and make fun of his hobbies.
Not that it ever happened to me, just saying, just saying...
...or a mailing list.

When is your true masterpiece going to be released?
Don't do what Real would do*.
*"would have done?" Maybe they really changed.
The answer is $42. 42 is always the answer.
