"While democracy should trump all, is it wise to hold majority opinion so high that it slows down progress?". That in a nut shell is what is wrong with the USA (and the World frankly). How do you govern a country when no one wants to study and understand the issues, most people are to stupid to grasp anything more complex than 1 + 1 = 2, and the rest can't read?
It's the same every where, people just aren't intelligent enough to run their own affairs much less be involved in voting and making decisions bigger than "Do I supersize?".
The people that post here generally are able to work around things like this 0 support for XP, and even if they aren't there are alternatives to "iCloud", if you look very closely at what Apple has done in the last 5 years, and the direction are moving currently, Apple truly want to take it all out of your hands, from over the air updates and storage, to complete store services all out of your hands, and that is not a good thing.
Almost every major problem we face on Earth could be fixed with a LARGE reduction in human population, I'm all for mandatory birth control, and if Mother Nature is up to it a little 12 monkeys / Spanish Flu Redux wouldn't hurt either.
I've always wondered if there was a software for web browsing that would let you spoof all of that type of information, hiding OS type, browser version, JAVA, etc.
Well yes "utter bullshit" is the correct term, as you yourself pointed out in your very first sentence "The earlier Macs did have a few". I didn't go into severity or frequency rates I said that telling a customer "Mac's don't get malware" is absolutely utter bullshit, and it is. Windows 7 is more secure out of the box than 10.5 and perhaps 10.6, in addition M$ now gives away antivirus for free, all of my anti malware, rootkit detectors and virus scanners are free, cost me nothing and are simple to maintain.
If you truly want to be free of AV subscriptions and malware worries as you said you felt with OS X, try using a Linux variant.
I worked for them for years, I started in their phone support area and routinely heard techs tell customers "If you get a Mac you don't have to worry about malware" which is utter bullshit, This is one area Apple can't compete with M$ because they are just getting into the war, it's going to get much worse for Apple and I think with 10.7 and the tie ins with the App store we should see even more exploits cropping up.
But after all the talking on the phones I have to say, at least for this article, the main difference between Apple and Windows is that Windows users seem battle hardened in comparison to the ignorance of the average Apple user, having worked for PC support and then Apple support I can honestly say most people are stupid about everything much less computers (this is a long story) and Mac users seem particularly stupid, Their attitude reminds of people that think the police are here to protect them
I predict an Apple bubble burst, first Apple's market saturation is deep, too deep, and when Job's croaks in the next 2 to 3 years investor confidence will drop, then there is pricing that is high for what you get and we are still going slow mo into a giant economic depression.
There is nothing on Osama's hard drive, if there was it would've been heavily encrypted, or, if you are willing to believe they are that stupid then how did they pull off 9/11....doesn't say much for the USA that he did and we couldn't catch him until he was irrelevant.
The competition doesn't have that Apple marketing magic, they offer more product quite often, but they just don't have that Apple shine and since most consumers are morons shiny objects rule.
Frankly all infrastructure should be run by public agencies, the corps can feel free to compete, but communications, roads/bridges/tunnels, health, electricity, and all other infrastructure services should be paid for with our taxes and any profit made should go back into the system.
If you run these things for profit then where do you cut corners? How do you keep the share holders happy?
What's the distance between transfer points, was it between Japan and Australia or were those just 2 lab locations running separate experiments? information transfer faster than light?

The "Cloud" is synonymous with security, it makes perfect sense.
Just sounds like little kids sticking firecrackers in frogs or something.
Yet you can point to a single person in most cases when progress really became evident.
Ghandi
Martin Luther King
And many many more.

I initially read it as "open source fleshlight"
Chances are the video is still there.

What do you think the brain runs on while you've ramped it up for gaming? Blood sugar will drop and you will get hungry.
I'm pretty sure the Chinese have whatever secrets they want already, at least those that are stored and accessible via the Internet.
NO Quake they fail.
What a tool...
SONY is just making more bad decisions regarding security like they did with the SONY rootkit.
