What a load of shit. Yeah, you are the first person on slashdot to diss Apple. Look Microsoft, go fuck of to neowin, we don't need your kind of bullshit here.
I have owned lots of latops, have 2 brand new ones from work, a hp and a dell. Not the cheapest of the lot, not the most expensive. I would put my mac up against those machines, any day and do. They often dont' sleep properly, and they take ONE minute to sleep when they do, whereas my mac sleeps in less than a second, wakes up in a second to.
I pay extra for that, and a 1000 other things that Apple have done to make working with computers a pleasure again.
- and the "page-preview" in Safari is not kept up to date with the actual page render, so if you want to know if a longish page has finished downloading, you have to actually fully open it, you can't see it from the "tabs" preview.
This is a good thing in some way, it means you can view pages without having to have internet access. It is good for caching pages as well.
That is not the problem. The problem is that Apple doesn't allow good searching anymore, it is restricted to keywords that can't exceed 100 characters in total.
So when people search for a particular book, which most people do, nothing will be returned for that search. So people had to add in individual books to get that market.
All very well calling them spammers, which they may be, but Apple made this problem worse by restricting searches.
Wrong. You are thinking of the earliest versions of TCP. There is a lot better congestion management controls in recent TCP implementation stacks (recent = 90s).
What this does is regulate bit torrent traffic only. So while TCP will cut down all your traffic, this will cut down bit torrent at the first signs of danger, before it gets to TCP throttling.
You are right. But just because Motorola designed the phone, doesn't mean google had nothing to do with it. I imagine that google would be heavily involved in the technical process, making recommendations, improving the experience, etc. Especially considering this is the first device to have Android 2.0, as well as real GPS navigation.
This is as much a google device as it is Motorola.
Ok, so Windows 7 is no better at upgrading than Linux, is that something you really want to brag about? Congratulations, a multi-billion dollar company can't get upgrading right, compared to an open source application, written for technical users.
OK, but window has its own problem. I need this all the time, when I switch from one screen to two, I get orphaned windows that I can't get too. I have to use the alt+enter, space, then move with arrows, then I can move the screen back into view. This is the only way on Windows, and it is a secret a lot of people don't know about.
Then you are using one sort of method to buy and sell.
You should not be buying because you think it is worth it, that is idiotic.
You should be buying because of what you think other people will value it at in the future. Who cares if nobody buys anything from Apple ever again, but if the stock price will be $400 in the next few months, it is a good idea to buy.
You are so ignorant, it is beyond belief. You clearly have never actually looked into cloud computing seriously.
This is a huge issue. There are times when data needs to be restricted from running in certain countries due to privacy rules (UK Medical records must remain in the UK, so can't be sent anywhere else).
There are huge issues about encryption, anonymising data, and ensuring that data is kept safe.
A great deal of though has gone into this issue, so fuck you.

Maybe, maybe not. You can't say for sure.
It would also cannibalise other Mac laptops, so they would lose quite a bit as well. You guys always seem to forget that.
It would also mean more support calls to Apple, more genius visits, more unhappy people. How do you put a price on that.
Try to look at the big picture for once.
It sounds like a blackout, you know, when there is no power. Even the most sophisticated circuitry and programming have problems with that.

Well, we tried ringing them...

Yes, but as I said before, Apple screwed up searching, so if you search for a particular book, your multi book app will not come up.
Anyway, you can delete if from your iphone, you still have it on itunes, and you can add it back at anytime.

There are plenty of things you can't do with a book.
You couldn't read it all in front of the public. You couldn't start making copies and sell them.
Even with a book you are restricted.

I don't know what you are talking about. Windows 7 has a completely different theme to Vista. Well worth the extra money.
Make sure you don't store that stuff in memory. There must be gigabyes of information needs for a shitty start menu.
Would you like some toast?

Windows ain't perfect.

In short, you are not logical.
You are wrong, it is only Windows that has this problem, because of the registery and dll mess.
NO OTHER OS has this problem. Because they are designed better.
Well, of course you can install Windows 7 over Vista, they only changed a few dll and the theme. Not much to break there.
It is like installing XP over 2000, or XP sp2 over XP.
Vietnam War? Afghanistan? Iraq?
You want New Zealand to Hawaii. Quite a popular thing to do for NYE, so you can celebrate 2 of them.
...and even then they are as buggy as hell.
How would this be different to running them on Windows then?

You really don't understand what you are talking about, do you? Why don't you fuck off and let the grown ups talk.
How is that ironic? Even in the weak American use of the word, that is not ironic. It is a coincidence, nothing more.
Do you really think you sound smarted using word that you have no idea about?
You are running a business, not a lemonade stand. Ignoring marketing and reviews is ignorant and idiotic.
