So what you're saying is, if you feel your work is morally wrong and is hurting the entire nation, you should ask to stop doing it and shut up, because it is clearly right no matter what and you are just too stupid to understand it?
I did not say it hadn't been done before. I said there was no real serious market for those things before Apple came along and did it right.
If you looked at those markets before Apple entered them, you'd say they were crazy for trying to make a profit there, because the demand just wasn't there. But they made the demand appear.
Even as shitty and useless as it started out, USB has put all of these to shame.
USB, which... has power and data on the same connector and cable, and also had to add more pins in a new connector because it didn't have enough up front?
And much less as soon as they move even slightly apart, like from a shock. That's the thing with magnets, they stay in place until given a tug or shock. Apple's MagSafe connector uses magnets exactly because it comes off so easy when tugged.

Yes, forbidding killing sure is a slippery slope. I'm so happy we don't do that anywhere else!
Yes, maybe not always such a great idea after all.
If the actual poll results are true, 50% voted for secession. How is that not "divided"?
No, you can do the first half of the requirements that way. The second half, not so much.

...what?
Let's just conveniently forget that Snowden tried to do things the "correct" way, and nothing happened.
I did not write a sentence in the same form as the one referred to. Don't be ridiculous.
Of course it does. A lot of them go through exactly LLVM!
It is grammatically correct, yes, and says that the Earth has been inhabited for more than 13 years.
Japan was not going to surrender
Japan was in the process of working out how to surrender. They were quite interested in doing just that.
You have been taught different just to justify the misdeeds of your country.
Clearly this phrase was meant to state the phone released
The fact that it's immediately obvious that that would not be true should be a hint that that was not what was meant.
The "can still be found" part should tell you that is talking about phones still being sold, not being launched. You are the one twisting words there.
So in other words, you can still get brand new Android phones with 2.3. Meanwhile, you can't get a new iPhone with anything but iOS 7.
"Android" is not a company.
That is the most hilarious misinterpretation of browser development history I have ever heard.
No, SeaMonkey is like what Mozilla used to be, before Firefox was created to make a browser that was not a terrible piece of shit!
Having the first product mass-adopted is not the same thing as having the first product;
And "having the first product" is not something I ever said they did. Perhaps read what you are replying to before knee-jerking?
there were shit-tons of MP3 players on the market when Apple introduced the iPod, and people bought them, their suckiness notwithstanding.
Very few people bought them. There was hardly any market at all for them. Until Apple came along.
Nope. That was a simple statement of fact, and if you can't see that, you're letting your cheap cynicism blind you.

Apple doesn't really enter existing markets. They make new ones.
Slashdot has been pretty much luddite when it comes to anything but Linux on a desktop machine for at least a decade now, if you hadn't noticed.

Well, thanks for demonstrating the point.
