>Yeah, pat yourself on the back, you're smart. Not just me, everyone who regularly posts on a niche board about programming and entrepreneurship. Maybe my original statement was hyperbole, but it's not crazy to say that people who voluntarily seek out conversations on the value of OOP are more tech literate than the average. Similarly, if we were on a website catering towards people trying out for minor-league baseball teams, the audience would mostly be in the top 5% in terms of athleticism. And for the record, I'm probably the dumbest guy here, and I freely admit it. >Never used EBay, never bought anything from Amazon and I also Google for URLs from time to time ... pretty sweat if you can't remember the exact string. You're trying to misread me here. There are people for whom "order tickets online" is a major accomplishment, akin to cleaning out the garage. Once, a ReadWriteWeb article[1] overtook Facebook in the Google search for "facebook login" (w/o quotes). It resulted in thousands of people commenting on the article trying to log into facebook. I'm not saying "can't tell RWW and Facebook apart" is average, but I am saying that that's a rare occurrence. >Apple's products are not idiot proof. Of course not. But the flipside of the file structure and CLI on an iPhone being locked away is that users can't accidentally do something to their System directory. And locked-down, reviewed applications means fewer compatibility issues and fewer misbehaving apps slowing things down.
