"OSX lets me get more stuff done than Linux while maintaining the ability to freely develop programs..."
And Windows might be getting you more stuff than OSX, but that was not the point for GNU world, wasn't it? It was about the free and especially the open part.
"Apple has yet to sue anyone other than blatant and uninspired copyists"
Let's keep a little less brazen attitude about tech and engineering, shall we? Just because lines were crossed in the dark age doesn't mean that those lines aren't in place any more.
"Meanwhile, Apple has been advancing in really important ways"
I do not deny true innovation, but we all know that the reason for some matters being "really important" is sole for just being Apple-related.
"that are not being sufficiently imitated by Windows and Linux"
Might it be that not all Apple "advancements" are worth to be "imitated"?
"sweet app store"
...and incurable Apple fan-boy.
- cjensen 13y agoThe use of the phrase "Apple fan-boy" pretty much destroys your credibility. Try not to do that.
- userulluipeste 13y agoIt's not my intent to acquire credibility, it is to rise awareness. I got a lot of down-votes in my past comments when I emphasized the use of subliminal Apple-promoting messages. I was aware of the risks I was exposing myself now. Please, try to be moderate when you'll further approach Apple-related subjects.
