They didn't invent cell phones or touch screens. Apple is standing on the shoulders of giants.

Please never say that religion has never filled a need. You don't know that. Blind atheism is just as bad, if not worse, than organized theism. The problems start when people think they know something and they really don't.

Every browser doesn't support them though. The nice thing about a language compiled to Javascript is that you don't have to write any code to check if you can use getters.

Windows has more functional and consistent interface standards than any other platform. It's predictable and utilitarian...in other words, the exact opposite of OS X and "the web". In Windows, keyboard acceleration is a first class citizen

Here’s what to do. Technically it’s a little harder. Don’t enter labels in the text field because as soon as you type they are gone. How do you check you responses when reviewing a completed form? Can someone explain that sentence to me?

Google Play device orders can't even be cancelled by the purchaser. Not even within 5 minutes of placing the order. The reason I had to cancel it was because they declined my card which I'd been using forever through Google Wallet. Furtherm

Worst purchase experience ever. First, they declined my card which I've been using with Google Wallet forever. Then, they didn't tell me WHY they declined it. So, I go and update the info (which didn't need updating) and place another order

This incident went way beyond humor and ribbing... Actually, yes...death threats and stalking can be hilarious. It's completely subjective . There is a big difference for having some criticism about someone's points of view and engaging

There is nothing wrong with calling out misogyny in media. There is also nothing wrong with people making fun of other people when they feel like it. It happens every day. You might have a point if she wanted to ban or censor games – but

Here's the thing...just because you aren't getting something exactly the way you want it...does not mean that the UX is somehow awful for every person using it. Furthermore, Windows has left the hooks available for people so that they can

The OP was talking about both. They said "properly designed visually". That's the interface. Then he said "and in terms of user experience, people could actually admire their PC's like they do in all of their stupid commercials". "I don't k

They have. It's called Windows and it does have a properly designed interface which is very robust and flexible. People not only admire it, they adore it so much that they don't want Microsoft to change it in any way. I suppose that you t

So, disagreeing and showing facts is throwing a fit?

That's absurd. Let's go back in time to 1995...NeXT and Apple are two separate companies . NeXT had a Dock. Windows had a Taskbar. Apple had neither. Stop trying to change history to suit your fanboy-dom. (Also, as gouranga mentioned below

Claiming that Microsoft blatantly copied "pinned items" is a gross over-simplification though. So is claiming that "they are pretty much the same thing". They're not. And I am correct in saying that Windows had a Taskbar before Apple had a

Oh, so you think that Microsoft copied NeXTSTEP? An OS that practically nobody used at that time? Sorry, but you're assessment is clearly incorrect. First of all...the NeXT Dock was a simple launcher that showed you which program was runnin

Excuse me, but Windows had a Taskbar before Apple had a Dock. Windows also had Quick Launch shortcuts before Apple had a Dock as well. So, Apple is the one who showed up late to that party. Furthermore, the Taskbar works nothing like the Do

Of course it is relevant. A large Android market share keeps Apple on it's toes and as mrich said, consumers win. It also means that although Apple is winning by profit margins at the moment, they may not be in the future.

I have a whole family of Windows users and none of them have gotten a virus in over the past decade. None of them except for me are very technically inclined either. However, they don't visit porn sites or pirate software either. The last v

Meanwhile, Apple has hidden APIs that nobody is allowed to use to compete with Apple's software, they have stolen ideas from their own developer community and incorporated them into OS X and they are generally unfriendly to developers. I'm

I think it depends on the government. If the taxes or regulatory fees on legal prostitution are too high, it can create a black market similar to that of tobacco or pharmaceutical drugs.

The government is complicit by keeping it illegal. If it were legal, it could be taxed and regulated like anything else. Most people are OK with letting others do what they want with their own body. It's certain puritanical, tyrannical, aut

The market for illicit drugs rivals that of oil. Factions in our government and governments around the world can make money secretly from it. Powerful people also see the value of playing both sides. They profit by producing it and they als

"The government" is absolutely complicit in that crime because they turn a blind eye to it. Do you think that the cops don't know about Backpage or other prostitution outlets? Do you think that law enforcement is impervious to corruption?

Methamphetamine is still illegal . That is why the cartels still traffic in it. There is no legitimate corporation to supply it and there won't be unless it's legal. Alcohol sales are in the billions, why aren't the cartels making mo

Excuse me, but it's NOT legal. It's not legal to produce and it's not legal to sell or buy. Therefore, it's not being produced or sold by legitimate operations. THAT is why Mexican drug cartels still traffic it. Because it's still illegal
