html5 was better for corporate aims of apple. being obliged to pay license to flash is much worse for them. and even if we accept it as something altruistic and open minded, its still no good while people are being put into walled gardens.
and no, YOU people are tiresome.

first, most of what you try to give examples of, pertain to vendor lock in of corporations by corporations. it never was otherwise, and even in the most open stages of i.t. revolution it was there. it is going to be there probably into foreseable future. but, by the time steve came back, the information technology and internet momentum in regards to people like you and me as citizens, was at its peak, and IBM compatibles with all their customizability and variety were leading the way.
unfortunately, this is an era where our freedoms are attempted to get restricted by many parties. private, or government. and, we have to toe a thin line of vigile if we want to keep them. i wish, it was otherwise. i want it to be otherwise.
there be noone to copy from, but let there be noone that seeks to profit from limiting freedom.

He brought user friendliness, usability concepts to top of the pile, and caused computer technology to go for more style, but what he did with locking in his customers, limiting their freedoms and then making enormous profits over these, has caused almost all other companies to follow the same style. now every company, even google, is trying to lock in people to things so that they can cash-cow them. imagine how internet would be if it was limited to 10-15 companies and their app stores, estores, media stores etc from the start.
unfortunately, due to what he did, this is the direction the movers and shakers of the information technology are taking.
talk about the openness, freedom of apple at the starting stages, and talk about after jobs. i wonder if the other steve can turn things around and make apple more in line with the spirit of information technology freedom and progress again...
in web hosting, when you speak about a 'dedicated server' or 'vps', it means linux mysql php apache 99.9% of the time. back in early 2000s there was considerable windows market and companies were offering these as revenue items, but afterwards all of them dropped it as a revenue item, and it became a niche item. wasnt worth to sell it. very big boys took up that niche slack and are offering them as revenue items since then. but it only feeds the very big ones.
even in datacenters that do wholesale and retail for dedicateds and vpses you will be hard pressed to find any offers than linux flavors.

and, the lower level companies use these racks of dedicateds to resell hosting, sometimes hosting 100s of sites on one box or unit of rack. and these are also exclusively linux. recent popular one is centos. so, whenever you are visiting any site that is not a megacorporation site, chances are 99% that you are using a linux server.
150 watts under lotro on full settings with eyefinity dx11 (3 monitors), or mount and blade in full settings and with eyefinity and similar. at most o go to 180-190. crossfire is on at all times even when im browsing.
actually enlightenment didnt start until 18th century. back before, it was just sporadic pioneers publishing ideas in an isolated, underground fashion. spinoza had to basically work underground at a period, because of potential prosecution. the early 18th century is incomparable on the other hand - just 20 years of early 18th century has prominent pioneers that are almost equal in number to previous 200 years. and at this stage, these ideas were well circulated and openly discussed in bourgeoisie and noble circles. whereas thomas more was feeling the need to fit the king somewhere in his proposed pluralistic view of life, early 18th century pioneers were openly ridiculing and demeaning aristocracy for the most part.
it is one 4 core cpu, and one decent graphics card in one package, and its just 139. you would need to shell out $139 just for a decent graphics card, if you went with external.
games do not require heavy cpu these days. most to the chagrin of many of us. actually, in fact, they dont even require quite high gpu too - due to the console factor.
as a result im doing mighty good with 2 x 5670s crossfired, running shit in 1920x1200 resolution in full detail settings in dx 11.
i threw my lot with going with a bulldozer capable board and 2 discrete radeon cards for my last recent upgrade. now, i am thinking that if i went the llano route, and shoved in another 6xxx, the performance would be much more better at the current state.
actually i found that a phenom ii 965 be is much more than enough for over-serious gaming. with its unlocked overclock capacity and readily blazing performance. and im not even spending 150 watts in the entirety of my rig, which sports 2 crossfired cards (5670 tho entry, quite silent and still delivers performance) 3x 23 cm fans, 1 14 cm fan, an external usb card (recording grade), a fan controller and 1 ssd + hd and 8 gb ram. so, your joke may not be so shitty.
For a good dedicated graphics card, you are expected to shell out at least 150 extra watts under load.
if, a desktop chip sports such a dedicated card, and its entire power consumption is 100 watts, that is NOTHING compared to a separate cpu + separate graphics cards combo. such a system would spend at the minimum 200 watts. so 100 watts compared to this is nothing.
if you look at this in that light, 65 watt consumption becomes something phenomenal.

none of these mean anything, if you take people's freedoms away. if it wasnt there at the onset of i.t. revolution, none of these would mean shit.

every month a drupal article gets pushed. sometimes it may go up to twice or more a month. you rarely see other cmses pushed like this here.
drupal drupal drupal. gets pushed like there is no tomorrow despite there are a lot of other good open source cmses, even one which nasa uses.

i just sold my 4 year old sapphire 3870 dual slot to my friend's sister's family, and they are playing sims 3 as a family with that card.
