    "For as much as Mac OS X has a reputation for being safer than Windows, security researchers won't hesitate to point out that the opposite is, in fact, true. "

    There, fixed it for ya.

  12. You say Winer, I say whiner. on Throwing Out Software That Works · · Score: 0

    Jobs says welcome to Eden, where everything just works. Oh, but don't even think of eating the apple. (iRonic.)

    Eat, or don't eat, the metaphoric apple; but whining about it later is lame. Also, there will never be paradise on earth where you can do everything on one platform. I do concede that some are more open that others...

  22. Re:Try this one... on Steve Jobs Says PC Folks' World Is Slipping Away · · Score: 0

    OK I do get your point and probably wouldn't disagree, but only yesterday I spoke with an entrepreneur who, after using an iPad for a couple weeks actually said to me that she's thinking of not having a cell phone. She already gave up the land line years ago. She purposely keeps her phone voicemail full, so leaving her a VM is out; and she pretty much doesn't answer her cell phone anyways. I always remember those times where you first hear something that becomes the rage, but no cellphone? I was impressed that an iPad could get anyone thinking that way...
