I prefer using Tweetie on the iPhone to using twitter.com, or even tweetie on the Mac.

Of course, I imagine my mention of twitter will cause you to immediately ignore my post. You guys and your lawns.

Hmm. The iPad IS thin and smooth...

Does that make it...a DEATH PANEL?!

I find it hard to believe that someone who uses "iCrap" twice in a public comment board post is smarter than anyone.

How the hell is this a troll? Some schmoe way too involved in his anti-iPad crusade get mod points?

How can a product that has NOT EVEN BEEN ANNOUNCED be late? And furthermore, how can it be equivalent to the gold standard of lateness that is DNF?

For someone who hates this coverage so much, you're posting a lot on this story.

SPOILER: During my evil playthrough, I badgered the Queen to make me her King, grabbed the traitorous Loghain for my party, and when Alistair disagreed, I laughed at him, and ordered his execution. This is after we'd spent the majority of the game working together. He practically breaks down in tears when this is done to him. That's pretty morally ambiguous.

What a ridiculous argument. You seem to forget that this CEO –the one so supposedly hateful of all things open –helmed a software company based significantly on open source technology, and brought it back to the Mac when he took over again!

Damn straight.

But, to be fair to the article, IE 6 and IE 8 are two wildly different beasts. IE 8 is MUCH closer to Firefox 3.5 (and Safari 3, Chrome, etc...) than IE 6. From a web developer's perspective, I'd much rather this article break the browser's down on their capabilities than their names/families.

The vast majority of Firefox users browse the web with no extensions whatsoever. The summary states that Firefox is at a certain percentage (a high percentage) according to StatCounter. Yet you seem to believe that StatCounter's numbers are worthless (and low) -so what, you think that Firefox actually has a much, much higher percentage of the browser market than what is quoted here? You say that "most" FF users use NoScript, and, hence, aren't including in this survey? I don't think you've quite thought this through.

Jesus. I think you need to go different bars.

Speaking as someone who saw them open for U2 several years ago, I'd say this is because their quality has improved.

So, let me get this straight. Apple does at least as much industrial design to the computers that they sell, their "off-the-shelf" parts notwithstanding, as Dell and HP. (I would argue that they do much more, but I'll leave that be.) Additionally, Apple uses its own complete operating system, which guarantees that its computer experience is significantly different from Dell and HP. These computer makers just use Windows. And yet, somehow, Dell and HP and are each more of a computer company than Apple?!

I don't think the grandparent is the one who's impaired.

There are some very funny, outraged posts regarding this in the official xbox live forums. Microsoft has also banned players for a number of other offenses, including obscenity and racism, and these posts are great. My favorite: http://forums.xbox.com/29600400/ShowPost.aspx#29600400

Please direct this post to the original poster, who's whiny bitchiness about his own mod is the reason this thread exists.
