The life cycle of farm animals is very short (from few weeks to couple of years), much shorter than the "enlightening" process would take. We just need to stop to produce "replacement" animals for the eaten ones. Simple as that.

I don't think retail price really reflects iLife's value, if you need such a software . Because iLife only runs on Macs (sold by Apple), the price of iLife can be subsidized. Still, I agree with you that the value of any software (for an i

Anybody have an idea what would cost an equivalent software for Windows? (Offering similar usability, high quality templates/samples/tutorials etc. Actually it wouldn't surprise me if no such a thing exists for Windows.)

I use key-based authentication with password-protected key. I don't (mostly) have to type the password, because OS X is smart enough to store it to keychain (if enabled). I also have FileVault enabled and my login password prompted when res

I find that 90% little hard to buy. Based on my experience, I would guess they all (Mac/Linux/Windows) have roughly 1/3rd share, the trend being rising for Mac and downward for Windows. (Okay, my view may be Western centric.)

I guess the MacBook Pro lineup will shift towards higher-DPI screens in the near future. The next-generation 15" MBP will probably have the 1680x1050 screen by default.

It's not that simple. If the font size is adjusted, you probably want scalable UI as well (or it would break the harmony). I can see the benefits of that, but then again, if I bought a high-DPI & high-resolution screen, I want it to acc
