I would think there are some silly peasants here, that just for the little while want to make themselves great by standing on a noble man's head.
But how noble is His Holiness? Does his mere accession to the Throne of St. Peter obligate us to belive in his nobility, or as he earned that respect?
Maybe the Pope is right and the Internet does harm to human spirit. At least sometimes.
When the former head of the Inquisition, oops Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, claims that the Internet harms the human spirit, I'm more likely to distrust him than I would the Internet. Hey, by the Inquisition's standards, Galileo was a threat.
* The app store is full up with absolute garbage, low quality apps. There's an app for everything where "app" is defined as half-arsed P.O.S and "everything" is defined as {lim x->0 (1/x)}. Finding good quality software was difficult. A lot of the apps blatantly lie about their capability and you don't find out until you've paid for them. * Apple is reportedly known to stiff app developers.
In the limit, is x approaching zero from the left or right? It makes a difference.
Few people in the US would now consider draft animals as a good source of physical labor, so perhaps civilizations that could cross interstellar space might also not value us in that capacity?
Did your math teacher always wear a black turtleneck and encourage students to do the same? Although that would make Jobs a fascist as opposed to a Nazi.
The tablet format would appeal to people who spend a lot of time surfing the web while sitting in a chair, or sitting up in bed, or things like that.
People keep saying this, but I still have issues. If I'm sitting in a chair, I can rest the laptop on my lap while the screen is more vertical, meaning that I don't have to tilt my head so far down. If I have a tablet, I either have to tilt it up or keep my head down. A tablet may be better if you're standing up.
The tablet is the same form-factor as a clipboard. You can hold it with one hand while standing and use the other hand to do things on it (similar to writing on a clipboard while standing). You can sit up in bed, fold your legs up to about 45 degrees, and use it that way. You can also sit on the couch and hold it in place. Placing it on a desk and trying to input data into it is going to be a nightmare for most people. They'll enter their data on a real computer and send it to a tablet for final editing or just to present it.
And how could you not use a laptop for this? Even standing and typing (one-handed, holding the laptop with the other) can be done on a laptop.
And Linux was ported to Alpha, its second processor, in what, 1994? There's also a SPARC port. And a zSeries port. That's why Thompson wrote the second version of UNIX in C, so that it could easily be ported across hardware.
Ubuntu sems to work on my machine, and I don't seem to have any software/hardware interaction issues. Also, is this the same Apple that has draconian development issues on the Ipad?

Uh, the pontiff? That title comes from the Roman Pontifex Maximus, or Chief Bridge Builder, but the position also had religious duties.

1. The floppy disk is more reliable than the CD-R or the DVD-R.
I'm not so sure. I have found optical media to be more robust than floppies.
Didn't the Easter Islanders use all of their resources to build statues?
And don't forget Bill Pullman. Even if he isn't president, he can still jam their radar.

So putting a bullet in his head wouldn't change his mind?
Perhaps the OP meant that the power would decrease exponentially over time, like radioactive decay.
That applies to the others as well, "nee" goes with the original (born) name.
Shouldn't that be Altria, nee Philip Morris?
Yes, I know what it means, although "narrow" might have been better.

As opposed to urology, which is pee-er reviewed scince.

Reading a book, sitting/lying in bed watching a show or surfing the web, etc.

Ubuntu just works, deal with it. Besides, Unix isn't just code, it's a philosophy. One that Steve Jobs will never understand.
Yes, but I can avoid Microsoft Windows by installing Ubuntu 9.10 (is 10.4 out yet?). I don't need to pay $971 for that.
Maybe I'm being harsh, but the best way to stop bad software is to not have customers buy it.
Does capitalism typically reward those who meet the customer's needs? How would we know that?
If customers support such companies, then maybe they ought to pay. Why should such customers sanction bad software?
So LaTeX sucks on Apple?
