I've had an iPhone 3GS since August and the only thing I hate is that I have to pay Apple $100/year to develop software myself for my own device. My next phone will be Android based. I'm on Rogers in Canada and their network can handle the iPhone. We have 1/10th the USA's population though.

I smiled at the chair joke and the moustache app. It's nice they laugh at themselves! Most CEOs would not allow that. Microsoft's marketing videos have never been stellar, but who really cares?

yikes didn't mean to stir the pot so much. as i said:

I disagree. Most users don't even know it's easy to install a new OS in the first place and get their computer ready to run. Most users don't know about drivers; namely how to identify hardware and what to do once identified. Since Linux hardware support is built into the kernel and modern...

Okay back on topic... I'll say it once more, this time with a pretty graph so it's clear: what's good for MS is good for Apple (is good for the industry).

The feeling that people here act like high school girls in some kind of Microsoft clique? actually ... :rolleyes:

For people who prefer the CLI and learn to use it, they know how to get help with it. That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying everyone should use Arch or Gentoo and love pacman or portage. I don't need to drop to the command line to do that stuff in Ubuntu or Windows, nor do I want to. If PC...

Snow Leopard was a chance to do some spring cleaning. They changed as little as possible because they wanted it to be like the transition from PPC -> Intel, where they kept the look almost the same to make it seem like less of a radical change. They cleaned up the UI a little such as keyboard...

http://www.gurufocus.com/news.php?id=71513 Compare that to, say, IBM: For comparison here's MS: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=msft $236 billion. Apple is between Google and MS. Apple is doing just fine. It seems that what's good for MS is good for Apple...

How do you know to open google and search for nvidia driver? How do you know to install a driver at all? If someone takes the time to learn to use the CLI they know how to get help their as well. It's silly to argue that what you are familiar with is easier and more obvious and discoverable...

Almost everyone here has an agenda and is either a troll or only looks at things through their eyes. My work involves unix and the only way to make Windows usable for my work is to install Linux in VirtualBox. On the road I don't want to worry about Linux on a notebook (sleep, battery life...

Proprietary drivers are against the model of the Linux kernel. This is really an unfortunate situation because kernel development model is fantastic for kernel devel, but bad for integrating with the real world state of video cards which is dominated by proprietary drivers, a model which is not...

Been using Linux for almost 10 years now. Several of those years I used Linux exclusively on my desktop and servers, these days I mix in OS X on my notebook and Windows for media centre stuff. Who cares what works for everyone else? If Linux works for you use it, no need to force it on others...

You guys are all hilarious. I can't get over the groupthink on this site. Apple nets roughly 30% profit these days. Think about that for a minute while you go check what some publicly traded company you think doesn't suck pulls in percentage wise. Number of Macs sold is up 10+% over Q3 last...

TL;DR: I'm not trying to say OS X is perfect, but in a world of shitty software Apple does ok. A fellow canuck. :) At least someone gets it. Who cares if it's shiny, what's under the hood? Every modern desktop OS is (or can be) shiny: Win7, Linux + e17 ... or compiz if you like that sort...
