For the record having forgotten to say, I think it should be duly noted that since Apple's margins stem primarily from their hardware sales, the experience (regarding the memory) that I've mentioned is very much all the more significant.
Apple Geniuses and Vista Gurus are both forms of a shill. Apple Geniuses shill for Apple, and Vista Gurus shill for Microsoft. They are paid money to actually promote that company's products and nothing else.
So they will automatically downplay Linux, AROS, ReactOS, and other alternatives to the products they are shilling for.
I disagree entirely.
I can't speak for anyone else but having only recently switched to Apple products (6 months ago) after several ongoing years of 'Apple-hating' the several repeated occasions I've asked an in-store Apple 'Genius' for an unbiased opinion on one or more of Apple's hardware, or be it software products I've often been directed not to purchase from Apple, memory is a one example that immediately springs to mind.
Although most of these occasions have centred around hardware, I'm confident I'd receive the same unbiased, honest recommendation if Apple actually released software that wasn't, in my personal opinion since switching, superior to available rival alternatives.
My development environment, organisation and overall life, has (however cheesy it sounds) improved dramatically in recent months thanks to the quality and all round customer care I've received from Apple since migrating.
Ah, good ole' American authority / regulatory authorities. I'm thankful our regulatory authorities generally do the right thing over on this side of the pond.
Neocron did a pretty damn good job of it TBH 'back in the day', if it wasn't for the fatal runtime errors and fuck knows what other bugs it had I'm sure it would have become one of the most popular MMO's till this day.
Damn, for £50 a month I get 1400 inclusive anytime minutes, unlimited (literally) txt's, 'unlimited' (which caps at about 30gb a month) data and I sure as hell don't pay for receiving sms.

Which laptop did you buy out of interest?
If it lands on someone in the states you can be sure as hell NCSoft will get sued.
...and now we have a name for it!

Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt!
V for vendetta!
This is one of the reasons I agree with the TV license and am thankful for the BBC's services in the UK.
Patent pending.
Perfect, kudos.
"The Oxford English Dictionary has not yet seen the light, but it will, it will." Oh but it won't.
Bingo!
Not many people this side of the pond do.

You guys get raped over there.
Have you heard the fan on a 360 compared to say, a PS3?
A PS3's fan cools the workhorse of the machine as well as the power circuitry, no?
I'm curious as to why the 360 struggles to keep itself cool + manages to make more noise when the PSU isn't even part of the main console...
Anyone?
Isn't the power supply of a computer one of the main contributors to heat after the processor(s)?

Indeed, BSkyB also transmit their HD service channels in H.264 in the UK.
The same cannot be said for virgin media's V+ cable tv services though, IIRC they re compress their channels to MPEG2.
It must be more than that by now.
Anyway, we're not restricted and we're all more than aware of the events happening across the world, censorship is still rare here.
Although, it won't be long before we're all living in cardboard boxes wearing tin foil hats, I'm sure.
Being a Google solution it should be a cheap one too :)
Or any mobile device for that matter.
I will hunt you down if you've cursed us.
American take? Figures.
