Dear kahawe, Over 25 years ago, in the mid 1980s, Apple introduced the Macintosh and Microsoft introduced Windows. Taken together, Apple/Microsoft came to dominate the entire computing industry and they have largely maintained that status u

First of all, where are the applications in Google search? You just type in what you want, and the system uses AI to provide you with an answer. The fact that you can do that without having to think about millions of arbitrary applications

You are a pretty big fool, believing Apple is to blame for pricing in the iTunes Store. The content providers set the prices, not Apple. I didn't say Apple personally set the prices, I just stated that Apple's business model is dependent

Unfortunately, I live in a small apartment and the only desk I have has a computer on it, which makes it hard for me to concentrate on sketching or anything else. I guess I should go to the library more.

As anti-capitalist, I oppose all corporations, including Samsung. On the other hand, as a free software activist, Apple has made itself my number one enemy in the past year or so with the considerable spread of the DRM-ridden iOS.
