Stop letting your biases cause you to ignore evidence because it disagrees with your ideology. ...is what you need to be telling religious people.

If you really can't get the OS X UI, you are too stupid for words. Kill yourself for the IQ boost.

It's a black day for the English language.

I think your choice of example is rather meaningless, given it was a (member of) the Samba development team that reversed engineered the protocol.

If you used a laptop with a quality touchpad, you might have the opposite view. I will never prefer a mouse over my laptop's touchpad, with the singular exception of games, which I don't play anymore, anyway.

1) Quebec is not a part of the US.
2) The tax would presumably be on winnings, therefore a tax on citizens.

Even if that were true, only a naive shit-face believes Iran will hold to their end of the deal. Remember, the Koran promotes lying to infidels to gain their trust before back-stabbing them.

Chrome uses a fork of WebKit. Sure, Apple could back port the changes, but that's not much difference than saying they could use Gecko.

A privacy-oriented browser doesn't make the developer of said browser any money.

Apple doesn't care. That's not the same as "not knowing". Get real. Apple is a huge company, both in financial terms and in number of employees. Do you really think they don't know what an "Enterprise" needs in terms of IT support?

I see Safari updates in the App Store app on my Macbook all the time. Stop being ignorant.

You are simply an ignorant fuck. Find one thing that only Apple does that both qualifies as vendor lock-in and that is not intended to improve quality for the user.

Apple does not force you to use iTunes unless you have an iDevice, and increasingly, even that is not true. You can do almost everything from the device itself these days.

You could use Chrome if you wanted to. I think you'll have to build it yourself, though.

Please find something that you are not allowed to do on OS X that you are allowed on other OSes. Technical limitations are technical limitations, and do not count (e.g. no DirectX). Other Mobile OSes have limitations too, though Android seems to have very few.

In short: you're still an ignorant moron who hates because Apple.

That's OK. Apparently you've also given up on intelligence and knowledge.

It was under Jobs that Apple moved to "the" standard PC platform -- Intel.
The iPod always supported media from any source; iTunes (Store) was not even available at launch.
OS X has always supported 3rd-party development, and Xcode has been freely-available for roughly forever. You've also never been tied to Xcode for development on that platform.

The only way Apple locks you in is by not being Microsoft (Windows) or Google (Android). That means nothing to anyone that has a working mind.

Please point out the "good" Android phones available in August 2007.
