On iTunes you can, of course, preview songs before you purchase them. You can't hear the whole song, but then you don't really read the whole book before you buy it either.
And it is possible for both to be right, if they use different methods for sampling or measurement.
No it isn't. One or both of them has to be wrong. What this means is that one or both of their methods are wrong, not that both are right because they used different methods.
Again, it is not possible for Google's search market share to be both 36.9% and 52% simultaneously.
IE 5 is not an ageing browser - it is widely used even on modern MacOS/X systems.
No, actually, IE 5 most certainly is an aging browser. It is not being developed any more, and in fact doesn't even come with OS X any more.
As for the rest of your points, I'm sorry but you really don't know what you're talking about for the most part. I work for a firm that does big sites for thousands of users. We decided not to support version 4 browsers any more and it has only helped us.
Also, I don't think you know much at all about the psychology of web users.
No, the author hasn't invented any new kinds of code or web controls or anything else. The entire point is to use existing technologies (you know, the ones that people's browsers will support) to address something that has been an issue for some time.
As far as I know, this IS new. I've certainly never seen checkboxes and radio buttons (non-Flash) styled like this before, and I try to keep up with that kind of thing.
I'm not that well versed in ECMAScript or the DOM but are your suggestions accessible like what he's created? In that they would be able to be manipulated with tab and the space bar?
Anyway, it's one thing to say "I could have come up with that, only better" after the fact, and entirely another to have actually come up with it.
Roared? The GC has slightly less marketshare than the XBox (about a million consoles -- but fairly insignificant compared to the 70 million PS2 has over both) in the US, but worldwide it has slightly more or about the same. If you count Nintendo's mobile consoles, they own the market.
I've ridden the bus plenty and I have seen many people use laptops on buses. I sat next to a guy who was definitely programming on his one day. I don't have a laptop, but my wife uses hers on the bus.
Your rant is rather off-topic, but I don't watch tv and I'm never shunned at work. In fact, I wouldn't watch the NCAA bowl games anyway, but that's perhaps a separate issue.
So are you saying that Jesus was in league with the loaves and fishes? Or perhaps he had some guys underwater holding him up? Or that all the lepers were faking?
If the New Testament is true (in terms of events, ignoring the sentiments of the writers), Jesus was far different from a crook or a madman.
Complacentcy will kill ya. Look out Apple. For the 'kings of innovation' there isn't much to see for the last while.
The only thing of note they've released is the iPod Shuffle in the last year
What the hell are you and the GP talking about?? Apple has done a crapload this year. They released iLife 05, iWork, Tiger (a signifigant upgrade to the Mac OS), and probably more software I'm forgetting; They released the Mac Mini, they have updated (if I recall) every one of their computer lines (for instance a month or two ago they upgraded the iMacs and made them slightly cheaper), they released the shuffle (as you mentioned) and they announced their switch to Intel (which doesn't have any tangible benefits for the consumer yet, but I'm sure it's taken up a ton of their time).
If anything, Apple does stuff too fast. It's really easy to buy something from Apple and then weeks later wish you'd waited just a little longer (but if you do that you'll always be waiting).
Indeed. Even if they lose this lawsuit, Newline and Time Warner will still be raking in the cash from these movies. I'm sure they'll rake in some more if they have Jackson do the Hobbit too.
I played a game like that in America years ago on the playstation, but I can't remember what it was called. It was cool, but the robots didn't really learn, which I guess is the point of this new game.
Utah actually just has more children than anywhere else in the US. If you look at the census info, Utah has the highest proportion of residents under the age of 18.

Basically, I think I am saying that this is a niche mouse with less functionality that most of the other mice on the market.
Most other mice have fewer buttons and a scroll wheel that only goes up and down. How is that more functionality that this new Mighty Mouse?
You think you're getting a pony after what you did to the last one??

If you're going to get music illegally anyway, you might as well download it for free.
I honestly thought the same thing at first. Very confusing.

You got the WTO right - they were just protests.
My boss has horror stories about being stuck in traffic downtown when that happened. It was not peaceful.
Your point is still valid however.

You could also have "virtual posters" that you could put anywhere and change any time!
Um, what? Did you rtfa? The point is that you can switch focus between the controls with tab and even activate them with space.

There are lots of open source PDF readers.

fusing dupes would be nice too. Try paying attention to your own spelling.
To be fair, "dupe" isn't a real word either. "Dup," if you think about it, is sort of a more logical truncation of duplicate.

If Jobs said that, he hasn't been proven wrong really. I'm sure he'd just say "... until we released the iPod branded flash MP3 players."

I don't know, driving down I5, Rainier looks pretty darn huge, since it takes up like a third of the view.
Well, being a little less than 25 myself, I'm pretty sure those things are true.
Not only are you wrong, but the quotation mark comes after the period. (At least in American English.)
