So have you experienced OS X with a mouthstick first hand?
No, but I have experienced using OS X/Gnome/KDE/windows while trying to use the mouse as little as possible (I have a bad should & constant movement between keyboard & mouse irritates it).
Of those four operating environments, OS X is by far the worst. Lack of visual clues (the underlined letter that is the shortcut), no doubt makes the system look prettier, but also makes things less intuitive.
A win for style over substance - but hey, that's what the mac is all about.
So you are saying that when I hit the Tab key in a document, it "lets [me] navigate to lists, text boxes, and other controls" - is that your final answer?
I didn't say anything about what you can do, I said that OS X has inferior keyboard navigation compared to other OSes.
Do you have any idea how the logistic problems with trying to lay fibre from Satelites down to Africa?
First you've got to fire your rocket carrying the fibre up, get it to loop over the satellite without destroying it, then have the rocket carefully navigate back to your chosen destination.
No - wireless is a better solution with satellites IMHO.
Full Keyboard Navigation In Mac OS X, you can use the keyboard to navigate through a document. [emph mine]
Notice that while the page you link to gives the impression that the OS is keyboard navigable, the above statement refers to navigating through a document, not all Operating System features.
Apple have managed to suck a few disabled into buying their systems with this sales pitch. Have a read of this guy's experiences (he interacts with his PC via a mouthstick):
Very annoying. In short i'm refering to the lack of underlined letters in menu items and such, a-la XP. Also most tabbed Preference dialogs have no keyboard access to the tabs themselves, plus theres many more issues that just make OSX an annoying experience for me... looks very pretty though.
I've used XP since forever, and i used Gnome desktop on FC5 for a while too and both were lightyears ahead of OSX as far as keyboard navigation goes.
Short lesson here for you: Unless you've directly experienced something, do not believe Apple's marketing literature to the contrary.

What I find interesting in all this Apple store iPhone thing is that many developpers (Apple fans I presume) seem to consider normal to have to *convince* Apple to let them develop what they want, like if it was their boss at work and Apple was paying them or something.
Wow that is some creative number crunching, you turn 3 billion people into six billion eyes to be sold to advertisers. Are africans related to cameleons and can focus their eyes on two different ads at the same time?
You see, the thing is, when I said Google will sell these eyeballs to advertisers. I meant that google will literally buy these people's eyeballs and sell them to advertising agencies to fry & eat, or whatever it is ad agencies do with their eyeballs.
TFA makes it quite clear that it's talking about days before home computing, not the days before the internet.
Ginny Heinlein said that by 1984, "with the advent of computerization in our household, we no long use the form letter to answer fan mail. I find that it is possible now, with the computer, to write individual letters in reply to fan mail faster than I could check off the answer on the form."

Yes, from an ecological point of view, rain forest burning is a disaster. Congratulations, you manage to see the blindingly obvious.
However, the context here is a story about atmospheric CO2 & burning or planting trees has absolutely fuck-all effect on that.
I was completely correct in my original thought. You are a fucking idiot. Your analogy makes no sense whatsoever.
There are no binaries for windows yet. Therefore it is basically not released.
You're a fucking idiot. It's released. Just not for your platform. Suck it down & wait a day or two.
burning down the rain forests
C02 from plants is not that big a deal compared to C02 that's been trapped for years & now being released as we dig up & burn coal & oil.

Did you miss the quote in my post that said:

More blathering from the incomprehensible lunatic fringe of Apple fanboism.
Do you even know what weasel words means?
Unless you count the free act-a-likes of expensive enterprise distributions.
Are you some sort of fucking idiot? That's not piracy.
So you are saying that when I hit the Tab key in a document, it "lets [me] navigate to lists, text boxes, and other controls" - is that your final answer?

Once you lay the fibre not only do you have high speed Internet, you have a space elevator as well.
Not to mention the effects a high-fibre satellite will have on our gastrointestinal tubes health!
I wonder what the world would look like if Apple would sell software as well.
Apple will never sell software sans hardware. They've got a control obsession. Their greatest strength & weakness as a company.
Should've just dragged fiber.

No - wireless is a better solution with satellites IMHO.
Or maybe ISP's who then run WiMax.
Wow! It's like you're psychic!

Oh - and Kudos to the gnome team.
after everyone who would steal money from The Great Apple
Why the fuck is buying an OS X DVD & installing it on your computer stealing?
The Great Apple pushes a manditory OSX upgrade.
I doubt it. Noone is stupid to have a mandatory OS upgrade. The chances of fucking up a significant number of your customers is too high.
Tell me that won't happen.
That won't happen.
it's superior to linux in security and performace.
You reckon Solaris is superior to linux in performace? I reckon these guys really know performace.
I wonder then if Germans kept the names of the streets build during the Hitler regime.
The fact that you're equating Lenin & Hitler shows that you're ignorant of history & have little understanding of fascism or communism.

And they are calling the people buying an iPhone "fanbois".
Quick logic lesson for ya; the existence of google fanbois does not disprove the existence of iPhone fanbois.

So you see, my maths does make sense after all.
that money be better spend feeding the poor or even building up basic infrastructure like schools and wells
Most places that will be using this sort of commercial service have adequate food/water/power/education infrastructures.
Most that don't have such infrastructure have a problem that google can't solve. War - of one kind or another.
16 satellites in LEO, meaning intermittent coverage, plus they will need spares and steerable ground antennas.
They're going to use the satellites for long haul & 3g masts for last mile.
and it seems pretty expensive for covering only a belt around the equator.
45 degrees is half way to the north/south poles.
Google is making an upfront investment to reach 3 billion new customers.
Not 3bn new customers - 6bn new products. Google will sell these eyeballs to advertisers.
*shrug* not too bad a deal methinks.
is this idiot ? and why cvant he use a computer ?
