I've seen some misinformed fantasy posts on slashdot before but this is a contender for crackpot 2012.
Care to provide any tangible evidence of how the "The Muslim Brotherhood is already entrenched in the US Federal government due to the Obama administration"
and no his middle name is not sufficient.
what facts are you referring to? cause if you don't have any I'm gonna go with
Ah, the age old anti apple retreat: "apple products ar all marketing/don't have any facts"
yah cause carrier IQ worked out well using your logic.
On my planet everyone knows Mc donalds, eats it doesn't mean it's not awful food and bad for you. i don't hate google but your point is bad.
your theory falls down when one realizes that winphone7 was so late to market. If windows phone 7 came out in 2008 it would be doing a lot better with the "general Public" Marketing has very little to do with the iPhone's and IOS's lasting success.
Also using your salesman incentive argument win phone 7 should be doing better as ms actually pays.
fragmentation isn't a marketing term for about 10 million samsung galaxy S owners.
"it's amazing to me that in the Android world you can buy a brand new Android phone with an OS 2 versions out of date, and that phone will never be upgraded. THAT is a problem. not talking about 4 year old phones not getting the latest release. We're talking about brand new phones that are out of date, out of the box. This isn't a fairy tale."
Sounds like a marketing term to me!
you just owned yourself. The fact that you can choose not to support them demonstrates alternatives. Something that microsoft of old didn't allow thru despicable means. Apple is a capitalistic business that offers good products nothing more or less.
Take off that shiny hat it's messing with my reception.
oh come on! all the damage apple have done? You mean like push forward new technologies again and again and create completely new categories of products to make computing easier for the average person. Undermining the consumer? What absolute complete basement dwelling geek babble. News flash they are the number one computer manufacturer in customer satisfaction surveys for the last several years. As a company you don't accomplish that by "undermining your customers" You may very well know what evil means but you clearly aren't using it correctly.
It's because Apple's not based on product, it's based on image. If anything seems like it could even start to threaten that image, people want out before it crashes.
yah cause Apple's iphone and ipod aren't sucessful "products". How does this guy get 5 insightful for that crap of a sentence. Saying apple isn't based on quality products definitely comes from someone that's never used any of their products.
"Windows 7 is likely more aimed at XP users and people considering the unreasonably expensive switch to Mac."
it's funny how people spout this mantra. Unless you are pirating software (windows and everything else) and building the system yourself. Mac's are not more expensive for the same hardware and are generally better quality to boot.
I use both pcs and macs here. both windows and OS X are very stable now days. OS X however is a nicer computing experience if you care about such things.
Spoken like someone who has never used an Iphone
-the average person doesn't give a shit about exchange or Zimbra.
-irc bitchx (not that the average person gives a rats ass about irc) Check!
-ssh I'm using it now to change an icon on the home screen Check!
-A filesystem that lets you save things Check!
-a Rich email client that lets you send things from the filesystem check!
- Custom ringtones check! mine is Wilco Can't stand it
- a keyboard with out tactile feedback that isn't a bunch of small retarded keys Check! I much prefer the big touchscreen keys that change based on the app for convenience
- built in browser rofl you can't be serious I'm surprised you mentioned that safari mobile owns my Blackberry's browser hands down. Most would agree web browsing is the iphones strongest feature besides wait an ipod!. It has a better web browsing interface/experience than any other phone I've ever used period.
You got me on copy and paste! I'm sure it's coming in an update. It's not an issue tho if you are familiar with the iphone's interface.
I don't know what they are worried about, the iphone stomps the blackberry. It doesn't seem "diminished" in anyway in comparison (I own both) Unless diminished now means easier to use and more convenient. Also I don't know why people are so down on edge. I use it in Los Angeles and it's fast for browsing the internet. Yah it's not my 10 megabit home connection but pages load pretty much within a couple secs and sometimes instantly. At&t doesn't need to cripple anything. Ultimately a wider spectrum of ppl will find the iphone easier to use. Especially when it comes down in price.

"(although I do buy and love Apple's laptops)." which have a proprietary connector. Apple's new connector is reversable and better than micro usb.
The sky is falling ! The internet will never become television. You're doom and gloom lacks any foundation in reality.
yah that's a sweet solution for my mother. brb having a soldiering iron shipped to her house.

True if I wanted to wipe my ass I'd buy and android handset.
I'm gonna have to go with every respectable tech site saying that iOS is a smoother experience as opposed to your random comment. also a google intern that posted why Android can never currently be as smooth as IOS http://jaxov.com/2011/12/android-ui-will-never-be-smooth-like-ios-due-to-design-framework-says-engineer/

About time. In before free market advocates spout about how ISP monopolies will self regulate if left alone!
you bought a new power mac that they don't make anymore?

"Apple has their own proprietary format called AAC"
AAC was created by the mpeg organization the same ppl that came up with mp3, not Apple.
"I've never had a virus or spyware" yah cause no one gets any of the 60,000 known viruses for windows! only people with stupid behavior get em!

Even I'll post on this one it makes me happy and I never post
this is very true I've yet to come across a really top level quake player who was't intelligent.
no we didn't forget it we are still enjoying it with it's new name.
Office is not a univeral binary. Just watch the latest keynote for that where ros ho from microsoft even says so.
