Or maybe while scanning all those old books from around the world google found that in its ancient origin, "evil" can never apply to anything they do.
What I see as the final result of this haphazard google investment strategy is the formation of the largest adware company in the history of the world. I think the money's gotten to those two...:(
"I hope I achieved that goal, even if I did upset a lot of people who seem to feel that anything but fawning admiration for Apple is an act of betrayal by an apostate."
More than betrayal, you are verbally burned at the stake, beheaded, and then diced into tiny pieces before being fed to leeches as a puree, if you ever try to criticise apple.
I'm not such a great fan of this guy, but when he complains about windows, which he does in EVERY SINGLE OTHER ARTICLE he's written, I don't bother slashdotting him and writing about him in my blog, between the part where I describe how I went to buy the ingredients for a sandwich and the part where I describe how I made and ate the sandwich. I also don't then put an apple-voodoo curse on him either.
I realise this is probably the worst place to say this, but meh, I think I've got an addiction to getting negative points on slashdot!
How does "Idiot Outside" correlate to "Intel inside"? The intel inside logo was on pcs, not macs/apple computers/ipods. Therefore outside intel machines there are only normal people who do not worship a spiritual leader who I hear goes by the name of High Priest Jobs, and do not buy shoddy, non-functionning (ipod battery anyone?), craply designed* things just because they have a half-eaten apple printed on the outside.
"Idiot outside" would therefore only be a suitable joke here if intels were inside apples. Oh wait, they are! Oh I get it now! HAHAHA. Very funny. *...sigh...*
*Please note, the imacs with the multicoloured outsides were ok, as were the sunflower type imacs, but after that things just go too repetative and boring.
How can you say anything about shootings or treatment of prisoners after Guantanamo and Abu Grhaib? YOU have no right to comment on anyone eles's criminal or justice system.
These apple geeks really annoy me. I bet people like this guy would find SOME way to complain even if Gates gave HIM $250 million. Get a life. As if Jobs has done anything even remotely similar... No.
What the hell are you talking about? The Christians the poster is talking about are the ones who appeared after the fall of the Roman Empire. They banned all science and supressed all learning.
Newton was a Christian, but he lived and worked in the time of the Renaissance, when the people of Europe took back their religion from the clutches of despotic priests and began to think again. And Darwin lived and worked when the power of the Church was even less than it was in Newton's time.
Need to add this from before, since you cowardly DS wont be able to see it otherwise.
Instead of going around trying to correct others' mistakes, why don't you correct your life, since all you do is sit around reading slashdot and looking at peoples' spellings, it is a damned pathetic waste of a human existence.
There is no hope for you, you troll. I can see why you are so frustrated.
Stop being such a pedant. You know very well I meant "Inside the quotation", excluding the word 'mark' - anyway that is beside the point: what is important is that full stops go inside quotes even if it was not part of the original statement. You are wrong. And the only hole I see around here is yours - both with your rubbish spelling while trying to correct me, the irony of it is so amusing, and your lack of proper punctuation when quoting, again in a failed attempt to attack someone else.

The guy who doesn't know how to spell or punctuate properly decides to become an English teacher! Wow! Or maybe you are a lifeless, pathetic, pathetic, pathetic, pedantic troll.
I see you took my advice, accepted your wrongness and actually put the period inside the speech marks this time. Well learnt. The next thing for you to learn will be how to be a normal contributing member of society. Unfortunately for you, and fortunately for the rest of us, that will never happen.
Now STFU and go get a life:D Don't worry, we all know that won't happen either, but maybe the Chinese will take you in?
Exactly my opinion. I don't know what posseses people to download films off kazaa or whatever just to see it for free. The sound quality is crap, the images are useless, and you get those people walking around to their seats and to/from the toilet. And for what? To save 5 £/$/(euros)?
There is no point in watching pirated crap. If you are so cheap that you don't want to pay for a cinema ticket, just wait until they release it on TV - then you can watch it for free, and have at least a slightly nice experience of sound and graphics.
Sad, sad people who watch pirated stuff to be quite frank.
I retract my comment if you are the same annonymous coward that partially defended me in the first AC post on this thread. All this quoting and unquoting with my threshold set at one made it unclear as to who was tyring to ridicule me and who was actually helping. Once again, very sorry.
Nope. He is right. You are wrong. Your period should be inside the final quotation mark. And anyway the bigger mistake is writing "other's" when you mean "others'", not my one.
You probably haven't even a seen a google employee, and yet you act as if you are some great authority on their business ethics. It appears you see google in some evangelically pure light, and microsoft as a big bad joke that can't do anything right.
Now I don't actually like MS sitting there with their massive monopoly. We need several strong companies out there, so that we the consumer can have maximum choice, and so that all the companies will be forced to work hard and win our business over.
But it is obvious that MS has done a lot right. Otherwise how could Gates be the richest man in the world? Windows was a great product - sure it has problems, but it was popular enough to displace Apple's dominant position, back in the days of 3.1, and then beyond.
What of the GGL creators (I don't know their names by heart. Shock! horror!) slashing their salaries to $1 each to avoid tax, and gaining all that money from far far lower taxed stock dividens? If Gates were to do that, there would be thousands of posts on Slashdot talking about how evil he is to play the system like that - but when GGL does it, it's OK.
Simply put the people who sit around blindly writing about the goodness and "lack of evil" of GGL are the same people who say Apple is great. Apple products are overpriced, and the designs which did look nice 10 years ago when they first came out all in white, are just boring and repetative now.
What exactly is the difference between google and MS? MS is much larger and has much more money in their bank account. MS goes around buying companies that competes with them. Apple would do the exact same thing if they were in the same position as MS, as would GGL - in fact, they've already started!
So I ask you again, please tell me what the difference between MS and GGL is. To me, GGL looks like a mini-MS. Perhaps MS will die soon, like all empires that have ever been on this planet, but GGL will be the ones to replace them, being different only in colour schemes and name.
Explain to me please why "it's hard to justify wanting to work for MS". Being paid more money is a perfectly valid reason.
Google has purchased like 15 other smaller companies already, looks like they are following exactly in MS's footsteps. By purchasing them, GGL gets the money which those companies would otherwise have made from their products. No difference at all between Microsoft and Google.
I will end by saying I CAN SEE THE FUTURE!!! Because of my statement of fact about google, which is unpleasant to the eyes of the GGL fundamnetalists that populate this website, this post will go down to -1, flamebait. Fairness is what is required, and that means that criticising where criticism is due. Try not to let the anti-MS sentiment fog up your view before jumping on the "let's blame MS and ignore all other companies' faults" bandwaggon please.
Yup that is a strength, but it can just as easily be used as a weakness by people who want to. It is inevitably going to happen once firefox usage around the world rises.
Nevermind being 0'd, my original post was in no way trolling. But as always, if you criticise the open source gang or compliment things which are actually good about MS, you get bombed down to 0 or -1 and rated as troll or flamebait.
Slashdot Mirror
Someone please, for the love of GOD, please tell him to STFU.
"Here in Britain, anything capable..." of being taxed, is.
DAMMIT! Foiled again!
I'll go get the bleech....

At the most, it is funny.

Please don't assume the BBC is unbiased though.
Offtopic, I know.
Now shut up and watch a video on your iPod.

Your ignorance is rather humourous.
They are in hospital in critical condition, in a specialist burns unit. Some tact from slashdotters would be nice...

Yeah, you're order is probably the best way to watch the saga.
No thanks. And stop being a coward and show yourself properly. Seems like you have a big mouth, but all you can spout is hot air.
Woot for google!!! All we need now is gbrowser and gOS :D
