So, you login to your router via http instead of https?

Too bad I had commented, or I'd add to your karma! :)

What app is that?

So, only games you like are good games? Some people actually do like games like Sudoku and so on. Puzzles, that do not require any specific controls.

But but but... there's over 1 billion Android phones out there!!! That only 2%-5% are running the latest Android, and they're still selling Android v2 phones? *IRRELEVANT!!!*

Funny how these "you don't know what you want, but I'm smart and know what I want" are typically ACs...

Wow. the fanboys are out in droves today. Funny how Google is one of Apple's largest customers is somehow missed by the fandroids (40k Apple systems as I understand it).

Exactly! Like one international shipper used to say - who cares about all those transportation companies that brag about how fast their planes go from USA to China?

Ours is the fastest coming out of China to USA!

Evidence that Jobs was marketing a $20k NeXT cube to consumers?

Evidence that Jobs was marketing a *UNIX* NeXT cube to consumers?

You do live in your own little world, don't you? In the 80s/90s, you either had the workstation market, which is the $20k workstation market, or the cheap 386/486 PCs. Sun drove the price down with the Sparc Classics, but those weren't serious workstations. People were buying sparc20s and using it as workstations.

You like arguing for the sake of argument, don't you? Did I ever claim the board can't fire the CEO?

No, my claim is that the CEO runs the day to day job, and the Board sets the direction. I guarantee you the Apple's Board of Directors did not tell Steve Jobs "hey, that new iPod thing you have, make sure it works on windows too".

This is Apple Computer, Inc., not Microsoft Computer, Inc. Apple's stuff do not have a mandate to be compatible with Windows.

Stop being a fucking idiot.

You are having deja-vu.

You are having deja-vu

I did. You have a warped view of the world.

NeXT failed for various reasons, but it never really had a major chance for success since it's target market was full of major competitors, such as SGI, HP UNIX workstations, SUN, DEC and others. This was also the time when wintel was gaining in performance. While a $20k workstation might be more powerful than your wintel box, I can buy 20 wintel boxes for that price.

Additionally, the other competitors feared Jobs, so they did everything they could to block him.

This is why NeXT, the company, failed. The product itself is successful and lives on as MacOS.

Wow. Whatever you are smoking, you should share it, it's pretty damned good.

I have *NEVER* seen the board of a Fortune 500 company make decisions on a minor product line, or even a major product line. That job is left to the - wait for it - CEO.

At that point in time, the iPod was only a minor success. No board in the world would have gone against the CEO's wishes. Hell, one of the first things Jobs did as the CEO was to kill off a large number of products he called "distracting".

And you people talk about reality distortion field. Furrfu.
