You've stated the side effects of ebay not allowing google checkout, but you haven't said how that violates anyone's rights, which is the only thing that would take away ebay's right to not allow it.
I don't see it as within the rights of eBay to dictate how people accomplish the financial transactions for Rearranging the World's Junk
The Ebay auction system is theirs. When you choose to use it, you agree to use one of their approved payment options. If you don't like that, don't use eBay. You'll live.
English is not the hardest language to learn. There aren't nearly as many rules as other languages (no masculine/feminine, except for people, and no subject-adjective agreement issues) and it is easier to understand poorly spoken/written English than in other languages. If you think there are a lot of exceptions to rules in English, try French, which has far more exceptions, and far more rules.
You forgot that a corporation can't use force to get you to do something, and that they compete, and that you are free to associate with a corporation or not.
You're just looking at the US website (Which also happens to be the worldwide website), there are Apple stores in Europe, South Africa, and probably other countries. Go to the bottom of Apple.com and go to the country you live in.
By "it", I meant DRM, specifically iTunes. People seem to be complaining that Apple will play it, even though they are under no pressure to use it themselves.
Yes, you *CAN* do nearly anything, with enough effort. But you can say the same thing about assembler.
Strangely, I feel the same way about Windows and Linux. And I find both GNOME and KDE to be unintuitive and hard to use. What, specifically, do you find hard to do in OS X?
What happens when these things decide they don't want to do what people say? They'll take over! Of course, all major world governments have already been taken over by cyborgs, but they haven't been able to openly admit it yet.
put a new finder window over the app's window. Switch back into the Finder.
You have to switch back into the Finder to add a new Finder window. From reading further, I understand what you mean, but neither result is by definition better. What if your window is on top of two of two different applications that do not overlap? Which one do you switch to?
Their reasons for switching are proprietary file formats and DRM.
The main issue with proprietary file formats is the iTunes library file, which has an XML file that mirrors it. Apple uses some proprietary formats, but is that any worse than an open format no one has heard of that has no support or documentation. Apple supports most of the important file formats.
No one has to deal with the DRM. In Linux, you can't use anything with it.

I was translating from a previous poster.
I think this iMac is a great deal.
How about a real video card? $899 for a computer with GMA950 Graphics is a rip off.
Actually, it's a thousand million dollars.
What laws have they broken? Is there a law that says they can't be successful?
How have they hindered progress? Will they have you killed if you try to write better software?
How have they crippled the competition? Do they imprison people who use Linux?
You forgot that a corporation can't use force to get you to do something, and that they compete, and that you are free to associate with a corporation or not.
Would you favor the government stealing your house, if it was beneficial to someone else?
According to the Oxford Dictionary Godspeed is: an expression of good wishes to a person starting a journey

1. You can just click on the path button in the toolbar.
2.Click once, pause, click, rename. Ta da. Or click press return.

Real nerds build their own distro.
It shows the effectiveness of the tagging system when an article about two people switching to linux is tagged "fud" and "notfud".

His project will help save civilian and, indirectly, US military lives.
I've never understood how mine clean up is so expensive or hard. Can't you just toss bowling balls or tape down the gas pedal on old cars?
A greyhound could have come pretty close.
That's assuming that mac users live 20,000 years.
That's always been my experience, or did you think we used Macs for the intuitive interface?

Closer to .00001%. If that occurred every week, and no one switched to the platform, no one would be using Macs in 20,000 years.
