  • Damn, the current iMac design is pretty awesome. I hope it sticks around until I have enough money to buy one. The giant one.

    Where Does the iMac Go From Here?
  • It's really nice but I'd rather just have an ipod like that. I don't really care about the cell phone capabilities. Give me a land line any day.

    A Legitimate Reason to Hate the Zune (And Microsoft Too)
  • Obviously the scenario is ridiculous, no one would expect to be charged extra because of something they might do with said equipment. as a matter of fact, such a levy does exist in canada on the purchase of CD-Rs. It was supposed to be extended to ipods (or the hard drives in the ipods) but so far it hasn't. thankfully.

    The iPod Virus: Apple Arrogance
  • "we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not catching it." none of these analogies work at all. why? because up to date anti-virus software will remove the virus (which, since your fond of analogies, would be like your computer's 'immune system', which would consequently neutralize the E.Coli and not make you sick at your $100/head steak house). So stop blowing this issue out of proportion. stop trying to be the benevolent mac user who is looking out for the interests of windows users everywhere. your position is a complete fake: windows users aren't idiots, so stop painting them as helpless half-wits who don't know how to use anti-virus software.

    The Operating System Is Dead
  • if you could only take one of the following: 1. A MacBook Pro without internet 2. A MacBook Pro that is formatted exclusively for Windows XP with Internet. 3. A years subscription to Hustler.

    The Operating System Is Dead
  • oh, i should add: the operating system isn't dead, it just has as much use-value as an armani suit.

    The Operating System Is Dead
  • First you become a vegetarian, next you're finding all kinds of justifications for owning an apple computer. no, the operating system doesn't matter but owning a mac gives me narcissistic pleasure in pretending that i am so much more refined in my choice of computers than people who use windows. Now that i've started eating meat again, maybe my next purchase will be a dell.

  • Since you're so diligent with looking up definitions in the dictionary, I'm perplexed that you would think that the word 'chauvinist' has anything to do with femininity. I'm also sorry to say that the free market includes Canada as far as I'm concerned and consequently my use of the term encompasses North America. If I wanted to take a specific stab at the U.S. (which I don't see much use in doing) I would have specified 'The United States Free Market" in the same way that if I wanted to tell you that you had offended my feminine side, I would have used the phrase "Male Chauvanist". In any case, I find it difficult to understand how you could possibly associate your responses to me with anything resembling 'pride and dignity' since you began your previous reponse with a fallacious stab at my country in the form of a pathetically ignorant stereotype that had absolutely nothing to do with my post, then went on to make an obviously pathetic and cheap stab at my supposed 'masculinity'. Maybe you meant 'jingoism and pugnacity'?

    iLuv i1055 DVD player: Is this the iPod video killer?
  • Asking too much of our governments? I hate to break it to you, but governments are the law-making bodies whereas the so-called 'free-market' is some kind of ethereal disneyland duct taped together with a dash of self-interest. Your quaint ballot/money analogy is cute, but it is just that: an analogy. If spending money can be analogous to voting, it is voting with an incredibly unfair advantage. He who has the most money gets the most votes. Who has the most money between consumer/corporation? The shareholders and in particular the higher ups: in a word, precisely those whose best interest is the company not going out of business. Sure, electorial candidates in a democracy get to cast a ballot for themselves, but they only get one like everybody else. If we gave them a couple hundred million, there'd hardly be a point in calling an election.
