If Apple was so hot they would have multiple manufacture's running their platform.

Apple is awful. I refuse to purchase electronics from Hippies.

The Wii is a success, the Yugo was a failure. What's in a name, eh?

Faulty logic. If McDonald's was so hot, they'd have other restaurants selling their burgers. And if you check the measurable standards, Apple is successful by any metric.

I have resisted having any Apple product (even an iPod) due to the sheep-like attitude of the cult of Jobs members and the lack of significant constructive criticism in the culture. But I would never say that they aren't making a decent product or that they aren't brilliant marketers of those products.

They made what pretty much every other major electronics manufacturer could have made. All they did that was different was served it up in brushed aluminium and white plastic.

I have an iPod, it was a present, and a pretty decent one at that.
However I'm a total faggit and run Linux.

Apple's iPad video
Yep. Getting one too. It's perfect for my needs at home, and if iWork works the way I want on it, I'll even use it at... work.

My friend and I were playing around, looking at shirts, and she said, "If we shit bats and fart cobwebs, does that mean we piss blood?" I love her.

A Linux distribution is the only thing worth running.

Windows has always varied from second to third rate operating systems and the Mac OS only ever run on apple hardware. I agree wit Mir. Linux will run on pretty much anything stably.

Open source isn't all that hot. I appreciate capitalism and hope Winows keeps going forever, yet Delphi is also an acceptable TCP/IPX platform.

Actually, I have a friend that ran Mac OS on a PC.
"iHack"
It worked very well actually.





I have a bond worth £597 that I can get out come the 8th of February.
But it'll go up to £664 by my 21st.
However, my 21st is 4 years away and I don't know if it's worth it.
