Ironic troll is ironic.

FTFY. Apple doesn't usually completely think of something out of the blue. However, Apple does think of all the reasons no one wants a product, why the market isn't flocking to something. They get it. Then, they create something that doesn't have any of the issues that caused the previous attempts to fail. As stated in an earlier post, the iPad: No pen, great battery, UI is appropriate and responsible. It just comes naturally to everyone, you don't have to think about using it when you're using it (for most things, anyway). Perhaps if Palm had been just a little better, if Microsoft had actually designed a proper interface for a tablet, etc. then Apple wouldn't have gained any ground in the markets they're in. Apple is great at cashing in on all the mistakes their competitors inevitably make due to incompetence, marketing/corporate trying to do the designing and/or insisting on sub-par component suppliers. Stop making mistakes and you'll stop Apple.

Still using an Apple PowerMac G4 "Sawtooth", still have an original production-run Sprint Palm Pre... why toss it if it's still awesome? Of course, they've all been upgraded a bunch - I thought that was the whole point? I see so many people complaining about the lack of upgradability in certain products who then go and buy entirely new machines/phones/whatever every 6 months. I guess people just like to complain?

There is also something to be said for a new medium in which the director anticipates the scene being viewed from any angle and crafts it accordingly.

Please tell me this is a parody.

It's a strange thing that "do unto others as you would have others do unto you" is not only the most important teaching of Jesus but also the most overlooked, especially here in Jeebus Country USA

I'm with you. I know there are plenty of reasons not to like Apple (in fact many of my own disagreements with Apple have come about only very recently), but trolling statements like this from grandparent are just ridiculous. At least make sure your argument makes sense.

Well, it's certainly not in patents. MS could have purchased the COPYRIGHT to the UNIX code (which the SCO case ruled was owned by Novell, IIRC). SCO challenged that Linux infringed on the UNIX copyrights, and this ruled incorrect. Nothing to see here.

Um, the jailbroken iPhone sends signals to T-Mobile's network?

No, but we do have a lot of people who like to think they know what they're talking about

..."genes to control human flight" and get really excited for a second?
