That total assumption of unrivalled superiority is reflected in your comments There is no phone that has as much popular attention as the iPhone. Not the Palm Pre or the Blackberry Storm or Google's Android, and those are the closest comp

So the fact that I hold a contrary opinion is being an ass? No. The fact that you responded snottily makes you an ass. You're allowed to disagree, but it irks me when people get smug over a difference of opinion.

Google was on my mind when I wrote this. They've already lost it. Microsoft isn't necessarily worthy of contempt, but I don't respect what they do now. They've lost it. Apple hasn't, at least not yet.

You'll never get them to switch with something small. You need something that's uniquely better than the competition.

When was the last time one of these insiders was right about a product launch? They were blatantly wrong about the iPhone, Apple TV, the iPod, the iPod mini, the video iPod, and so on. The only leak I can recall was the unibody leak, and th

Apple's followed an unusual path because their current tyrannies are much different from typical tech tyrannies. This decision doesn't help them as a company, and it doesn't hedge any corporate maneuver of theirs. It seems absolutely ridicu

You're separating Gates from his company. Microsoft started off as a fresh and exciting company, and it's gotten a bit stinky. So his case is valid.

You're allowed to install unapproved software. You just can't jailbreak your computer and then expect to download Apple's new updates, most of which rely on their streamlined system's not being broken. I find that I have everything I need o

Most of my Mac-using friends use Adium and Firefox. Some of them even understand what plugins are. I've got a friend or two who've skinned their Mac, though why anybody would dislike Leopard's version of Aqua rather baffles me. Typical Wind

The Mac in 84 onwards was run by a man who thought Apple had to sacrifice its design integrity to succeed. Since then it has been placed back in Jobs' hands, and he's taken a decade to fill it with people who believe in his design philosoph

This is saying nothing that wasn't already read by individual members on the handful of threads already here about Wolfram.

That was his point. Apple could have bought them for their widgets, but they developed their own new system.

Give me a fucking break. It's a method of connecting to IRC. To the best of my knowledge, the various programs don't bestow special powers on people. They let you type lines of text and post them to a live room. Occasionally they let you fo

That's the double edge that comes from any ease of access. Mibbit makes IRC very simple and very easy, and so more people use it, and with people come trolls. That said, if you're looking to access IRC easily, that's the way to go.

Fusion's good for everything but gaming. I use it for Linux but for Windows I stick to Boot Camp.

I'm going to be a fuddy-duddy and say: most of these apps are not essential for the Mac. Lots of them are nice, but you can skip them entirely when you're just getting started. Here are the ones I consider absolute essentials for my daily

How does the quote go? "It's easy to be rich if all you want is to be rich"? If the goal is simply money, making it is not necessarily hard. There are many corporate positions that pay an obscene amount of money at the cost of being very du

I don't use my cell for networking. I don't like that constant connectivity. But within that market, I would suggest that the Dodgeball team is a force to be reckoned with. Perhaps I'm biased because Loopt is ugly as sin, and Foursquare is

Is there a downside to feeling nauseous and bloated? Like, any particular health concerns that spring up when that's the strategy?

The Internet is people. It's a much less formal place for interaction than something like a bureaucratic corporate system. But both are just people, and good things come from people. Nina Paley released Sita Sings The Blues under Creative C

Why can't it be both? Youth and inexperience may not necessarily mean attempting the impossible, like menloparkbum suggested, but certainly being youthful means having a better grasp on what's going on. So it's right to attribute part of hi

That's what Wikipedia's good for. It's not nearly as good at what Wolfram is trying to do, which is to process and comprehend complicated data analysis. They're two entirely separate things.

In terms of merits your submission karma says very little about you, unless you submit your own articles, of course Similarly, popular comments say nothing about you other than that people agree with you. Short comments get more upvotes.

Looking at your front page for 30 seconds, I have no idea what you're offering, and so I close the page. Also, is that top-right page-peel really necessary? It makes it look like you're trying to pile gimmicks onto your page to impress newb

Okay, we get it. Wolfram Alpha can't answer bullshit inside-joke questions except for that Monty Python one. Why is this news? It's a scientific tool, not knowyourmeme.com.

If you don't choose to get the update, you don't need to jailbreak. It means that you don't get the advantage of Apple's own work, but that's part of the deal. Either you can get Apple's updates or you can have absolute freedom of your syst
