How can you show "a PC running non-Windows" if you define a PC as a computer running Windows?
"Words Mean Things". Slashdot is supposedly a technical website. I would expect a poster to know that PC is a "personal computer".
Oh so since Wikipedia defines a PC as a Windows computer it must be true.....
So you ask for a PC "not running Windows" but any personal computer not running windows is not a PC? What do you think a PC is?
So how is a Chromebook not a personal computer?
So a chrome book is not a PC?
Keep in mind that many app developers put a huge amount of time and effort into developing their apps and publishing them, and then only see a small trickle of income.
And many others have sense enough to go work for a company that has benefits and resources and make an easy $100K+ a year....
There are these things called links....
$18 billion profit, but they can't afford to make their phones in a country with decent labour laws. Nope, can't do it. The numbers just don't add up I tell you. Apple are the apotheosis of psychopathic corporate greed, at the expense of any human decency.
So which country are most of your electronic products made in? What about your clothes? your shoes?
So in that case, everyone who buys any product belongs to a cult? Or is it just anyone who buys something that is sold at a high margin?
I am no native English speaker, but you got the point. Something so successful in business can't be optimal for consumer. It means basically one thing, that if there is analogue for this product, and there is, they are overcharging.
Again, in a free market where there are literally hundreds of alternatives, the consumer -- all 75 million of them -- chose what they felt would be an "optimal" use of their money.
The per capita income in the US is around $50,000. If someone chose to spend about 1.2% of that income on an iPhone -- something they use multiple times per day, that's capitalism working "optimally". Their is market for a product and a producer willing to create it for a price they both feel is fair.
So in other words there is no basis in reality that Apple's customers are a "cult"....
"Words Mean Things". By whose definition is "niche" - half of the relevant population?
So does anyone who buys a product from a company that sells product at a high margin have an "excessive admiration" for that product? What do you think the marginal cost of a copy of Windows is? Does that mean every Windows user belongs to a cult?
That still doesn't answe the questiom, does half of the US constitute a "cult"?
