I purchased my copy of Watson. I never would of guessed it was a limited license that would be expiring. I'm in the wrong business. I grow table grapes. Once I sell a box to NY city, it is gone forever. I want to do what Karelia does. Sell the box to NY city and then sell it again to Sun and write a self serving note telling my customer in NY that he got to look (but not eat) at the box for a few days before I re-sold it to Sun . So what is your problem bub? Pay me.
And to think I purchased Watson after I saw the cheap Sherlock imitation thinking I didn't like the way Apple imitated the interface. Now i say screw Karelia and screw this Rose "widget" ass also. Hell, if you developer folks can't stop buying grapes in the supermarket from mexico (no pesticide inspection) where they pay $8/day to their workers vs my $80/day (while I suffer ungodly government regulation also) and support USA grown product then why should I care in the least if Apple is integrating this technology into their OS? I don't think I do. I don't think I own worldwide rights to grapes. I don't think Karelia/Rose own worldwide rights to applets. I have to compete by continuing to grow better products cheaper each and every year. And now mexico is suffering because they can't compete with my quality. Sometimes I have to remove acres of varieties at an expense of millons just because that perticular grape fell out of favor with the US public. I do it all at my expense. Hell, you folks don't give it a second thought when it comes to buying my grapes, you just look for the cheapest price. If they are mexican, well so what if they are cheaper. Well I'm gonna do the same here and you developers stop crying and compete. It takes a little education and a computer to be a developer. It takes acres, employees, education and millons of dollars of capital to grow grapes. But you developers are looking for deals on grapes just as I am looking for deals on my computer. I'll intice you to buy mine by making them better, not by crying in my beer. Do the same and shut up.
