It must not be nagging very effectively if he hasn't noticed it yet.

So, your first point is that the right corner is way out of the way compared to where you are most often clicking (menus) and the second point is you are always clicking in that corner? In any case, I'd think the far more common missclick would be someone hitting the window controls if they were right above the menus.

Also, in case you didn't know, you can resize the window from any corner - though I must say that I don't think I've ever seen anyone resize with that corner. Seems like the kind of nonsense someone who likes window controls in the top left would do.

For a secret lawsuit filed in a secret court that resulted in a secret action being taken, everyone sure seems to know a lot about what happened.

It never ceases to amaze me when people are surprised when giant corporations behave like giant corporations.

Everyone seems to agree that Microsoft isn't an innovator, so who is?

Not that I particularly disagree with your conclusions overall, but wow can actually be set to run on multiple cores and does get a performance benefit for doing so.

I agree that the pricing of retail Windows is pretty ridiculous, and it continues to surprise me that people buy Windows that way. That being said, I don't like the fact that you have to upgrade OS X in order to get driver support for a new version of Windows. This isn't unusual in the software vendor world (i.e. buy new version to get new features) but it sure is abnormal in the hardware world, and Apple is the hardware vendor in this case. I really shouldn't have to buy your OS to get functioning drivers for your hardware in someone else's OS.

Really? I actually find it fairly hilarious, mainly because despite all the noise, nobody has really answered in any compelling way what I am supposed to want one of these for. If you think about your average Apple fanboy (I like their stuff, but don't count myself in that category), they likely already have:
-iPhone
-Mac laptop (macbook, macbook pro, etc)
-Mac desktop (iMac, etc)

Ok, so 2 and 3 might not be the rule, but still - what computing niche does this table fill that isn't already covered? The best I've heard so far is sitting on the couch/laying in bed. Seriously. People are justifying buying this hypothetical device because it might be more comfortable to use in bed or on the couch (not really sure how a laptop isn't better when sitting, though). I'm not sure how you can do anything but laugh at this (and maybe buy Apple stock).

The simple fact is that ignoring robots.txt is effectively evil, regardless of the intent.

So evil, in fact, that you just know that nobody else would ever do something like this. Oh wait...

IANAL, but I can read Wikipedia (emphasis added):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_secrets

So, as an example, if Apple could argue that the information in question is a trade secret (and they have done so in the past) then divulging that information may very well be a crime.

PS: You should work on your reading comprehension before you go around calling people idiots.

I will counter with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuil. Money may make things easier, but nothing is a sure thing.

It's actually pretty easy to change providers in IE - you just click on the drop down beside the search field and select 'Find more providers'. Brings up a page with numerous other search providers you can add (Google, ebay, etc). Also, I think if you go to google manually in IE, there is a prompt in the top right to switch (or at least there used to be - not sure if they killed this).

Also, if you were to apply the same logic, the marketshare gains by google would be non-trivial since they are the default homepage/provider in Firefox. Personally, while I do think the defaults do influence things, I also think you are overstating them slightly. Google's brand alone assures that a lot of non-savvy computer users will still go there despite defaults in their browser, simply because 'google' has become synonymous with 'search' to a large extent.
