The little guy died in 1982. I wonder how hard it would be to figure that one out, especially as he had a rather obscure foreign name and a four-digit number too. Yet another uninteresting story. Move on!
Take your bike anywhere you go, and get a GOOD bike to make the it more enjoyable. Sell your car, and don't use public transportation. Your heart and mind will work better. Also, try to be more extrovert and you will be happier.
Do people *really* want crapware on their beautiful iPhones, for which they paid quite a bit of money, or do they want software that works? I'm just saying it's not the Macintosh way, but then again,the iPhone is not a Mac.
Exactly, and it would be nice if people could be more specific. What is it that you want to do that this or that operating system won't allow you to do, and also, is tweaking the look and feel of the OS more important than what you can actually create or accomplish with the computer? Why do you own a computer? Is it because you want to tinker and screw with the system, or is it because you want to do something useful, for fun or profit? I think for most Mac and Windows users, it is the latter case.
The Mac GUI is not crippled, well, not compared to Windows GUIs that is. It's just different. It would be nice - and I am not being smug or ironic (I hate irony, it's just not constructive) - if you could mention in more detail exactly what is is you find frustrating with the Mac GUI.

Microsoft certainly have the resources to develop a modern operating system from the ground up, and ditch every bit of bad code they have produced in the past. But they wont, it will never happen since Microsoft is stuck in their old mentality and locked in by backwards compatibility. And the whole thing is moot anyway, since the general layout of Windows 7 is already set.
Apple killed OS 9 and Classic because it had zero potential for the future, and it was a matter of survival for the company. (Without Mac OS X and NeXT, Apple would have died in the late 1990s.)
For Apple, the switch was necessary and comparatively easy, except they had to keep Classic hanging on like a giant backpack for a number of years. But it was completely separate from Mac OS X, not an integral part. At some point - in my case it happened years ago - you can leave the old baggage behind. But Microsoft needs to keep that not bolted on, but built in!
As somebody mentioned earlier, hardware prices continue to fall, but I think a more important factor is that people have different needs now than they hade during Windows' heyday. They expect things to work without configuration and reading of manuals. They have seen what GOOD software can do, for instance in the iPhone and iPod, and so that is what they expect from their regular OS.
Apple is not interested in the low end of the spectrum. Apple is a money machine. They want to sell high yield products, not bargain basement stuff. That's how you evolve and win i the long run. That's Apple.
Enter Linux. Here is the exact market position for Ubuntu, Xandros and other desktop Linux-based operating systems, and this is happening as we speak. This year and onwards, Linux will enter the mainstream for sure, and Windows will lose prominence.
It all depends on a single thing thing: WILL IT WORK? Most people and not interested in the nuts and bolts. They don't care if the laptop is running Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and don't even care what "the thing that makes the computer work" is called. They just want to plug in their camera, printer, scanner and network cable, or connect to a wireless network or a phone. They just want a machine that works without error messages, manuals, installing new drivers and all kinds of confusion. Microsoft has failed to deliver such a system, and that's why the competition will keep eating up their market share.
I hate ice and snow anyway - what a bloody mess it is. If you are a masochistic person who actually likes snow I suggest you move to a colder planet such as Mars or Pluto.
Why does this comparison between mice and people keep coming up? A mouse is a very different species, and so, does animal testing on mice have ANY medical och scientific significance at all? I doubt it.
In three weeks, Apple will ship the second-generation iPhones. That's right: the iPhone has already been out there for about a year, and meanwhile the Android phones are "delayed". What's all that about?

Such as chasing girls? Seriously, programming can never be good for a kid.

This focus on male drivers is just wrong.
Fits in your handbag!

Really? How imaginative. A whole Macintosh?
If I was German, I'd emigrate right now. Heinrich Himmler would be so pleased.

Oh, and I WELCOME the Android phones. Competition is always a good thing.

This is the end of democracy and what we used to call "the free society". I strongly object to this development.
Of course. It's a Dell.
No, my previous flat-panel display had ADC. The current one has DVI.
I havent used a VGA-compatible monitor in about 9 years. And ALL modern displays are 100 percent DVI.
Very cool, but why not DVI? That's insanely stupid.
