Please, RTFS at least. It says "aimed at the video production, animation, and graphic arts industries.". Pros will see the difference, just like in a music production studio they won't be using 19.95$ Creative speakers.
They're absolutely right that CMYK does not encompass RGB. They overlap for a large part, and don't overlap in small areas (with one larger area in the deep vivid cyans). CMYK and RGB are color models. It's specific (device-dependent) color spaces that may overlap.
But in a shootout, or OS comparison, or buying guide, or any kind of confrontation, the point is "it works" vs. "it doesn't work".
That's a defect the entire OS has, and blaming anyone just won't fix it.
Chromatic aberration is usually (in everyday optics) caused by refraction. Of course, since IIRC different wavelenghts diffract differently, there will be some problem of this kind, but still it's a neat idea.
If you buy it on apple.com shipping is free, and the case being metallic it's still not white.
However, even being your facts right the conclusion isn't that Apple hardware is overpriced. It just says that you can build a machine that's similar (slightly better) to just one of the models Apple sells, for around the same price.
Engineering, assembling, marketing have non-zero costs and these get passed along to customers. That's why every company that sells an assembled pc sells it for more than the price of the components alone!
Your analysis works only on the mac pro... because you can't build yourself a laptop or an all-in-one, and guess what? Once you can't take away those costs, Apple is just priced like everybody else in the market, if not cheaper.
To which you should add firewire 800, shipping (free with the mac), OS price in case of XP, the fact that your memory is unbuffered and non-ecc, some kind of guarantee/tech support. Still it's probably not the same (and that's why I included a disclaimer about the mac pros in my original comment), but I guess you can understand that someone doesn't think the difference is worth the hassle of building it.
(and I forgot: the mac pro case isn't white, and really doesn't compare to that antec stuff)
First of all, your bad experience with two Macs is at best anedoctal.
Secondly, the "overcharge" is still a myth, since there is still not *any* computer that is equal feature-wise and doesn't cost x00$ more (this surely applies to laptops and imacs, not really sure about the mac pro).
Third, minimizing the importance of the OS is quite laughable, since that's the main reason people switch to the mac.
Interestingly enough, Adium's input field resizes automatically AND can be manually resized, and yet there's no yelling and no forking (Adium is open source too).
Now if these Pidgin guys could just stop being childish and begin working on, let's say, a better implementation of the MSN protocol (I'm quite hating that "Switchboard error has occured"), I think most users could just turn a blind eye on trivial stuff like this.
While your idea may seem very kind to the learning user, it's been already discussed... and it doesn't work. Adaptive interfaces suck, since they change and then you have to re-learn.
Ubuntu was created with the specific intent of being the "alternative distro" which anybody could use.
...then everybody starts laughing, no one cares or takes any countermeasure, and in 30 years we'll have the same amounts of spam. But his actions in the past caused us to end up in a different present, where Macs have a 90% market share, Windows is struggling to get to the common user, and Linux is for those hip eye-candy lovers people who love making movies and use their wePod.
a great disturbance on the Internet, as if tens of Plays For Sure musicplayers suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. There, fixed that for you.

The main reason because Galileo wasn't killed but put under arrest is that at the time of the trial he was already quite old.
Buddhism is not a religion!
IIRC, that was a "Batman outfit" with some kind of rocket.
Yes, but I think that he was trying to take a picture of the thief, not a screenshot. But hey, it's just an idea.

...in a galaxy far, far away. Yeah, we know that.
Well, it appears quite clear that this crime originated in a nursery.

You misspelled "too". Five times.
It should be pornography... like "V for Vagina"

Your (albeit funny) paraphrasis of Descartes famous quote is proken: you should have used infinitive mood two times :)
