There are loads of sources of evidence of the Iranian F-14s being very effective in the Iran-Iraq war, and they still fly to this day.

If you check out the history of the region, it wasn't exactly great before the British drew those lines.

There is no such thing as a "convicted monopolist", convictions only happen in criminal courts.

And as including the web browser in the OS formed the very basis of the anti-trust action, my point stands - some people would prefer that Windows would come unable to handle the web out of the box, so why should photos be more important?

A lot of people would prefer that Windows would come unable to handle the web out of the box, so why should photos be more important?

And the way to fix that is to launch a formal investigation into the supplier of the software? Bollocks.

Precisely because they are under investigation - to not pay them means the investigators and the employers have taken a particular stance, and also it would be extremely easy to harm someone by making a false accusation against them. Any accusation that leads to an investigation means the target is out of pocket, regardless of the end result.

Oh wow, on an *Apple* computer.

That makes all the difference! There is competition in the market!

Of course it fucking matters if the competition is only within one very small segment of the market, it means a much higher cost of entry for the consumer - to read my Amazon Kindle book all I had to do was download the free Kindle reading app on any one of my Android phone, Android tablet, Apple phone, Apple tablet, Windows Phone, Windows 8 device, Apple computer, Windows 7 computer, Blackberry or a web browser for the web reader. Or buy a Kindle.

To take advantage of your "competition" I would have to buy an Apple device...

If you can't see why that is important, then you are a retard.

Amazon is providing the better service, and they are doing it without meaningful competition. Apple are locking you into their hardware ecosystem and were raising the price I have to pay on another platform to do it.

Again, if you can't see why that is important, then you are a retard.

Apple brings no competition to the market at all, they compete in one relatively small segment and have no interest in providing any service to those not using Apple devices. Fuck them.

Why should it be easy? Amazon didn't have it easy.

Apple was only ever competing in the eBook industry on their own devices - and they were hurting the rest of us reading eBooks on other platforms.

When I can read my Apple eBooks on anything other than an IOS device, then they are in competition, until then they are just a negative on the industry as they are treating IOS as the entire market when dealing with publishers, which affects me over here on a platform Apple will never touch.

Going too deep will be an issue in itself - I bet this things crush depth isn't all that deep...

Umbraco, Orchard? Both mainstream, both mature and both a worthwhile replacement for Wordpress et al.

The complainants are welcome to do the work themselves...

And yet one of the things "fought for" by OEMs during the antitrust battles was more freedom to do shit with OEM installs.

So which would you prefer - more freedom for OEMs, or more freedom for MS to restrict OEMs?

Why is that bad design? It allows access to the system again, but in a way that makes it pretty fecking obvious access has been gained - thats how I would like it to be handled rather than the alternatives of never gaining access or gaining unfettered access with all data in place and no one being aware access was gained.

Drop the bullshit please.
