[I hate to cook! ]

Wow - one person's beef is another's poison.

I love to cook and I make healthier and tastier than what I can get in restaurant, usually.

I don't know where you buy ingredients but it is rare that the food is cheaper in a restaurant, and if it is cheaper - well there may be reasons that it is cheaper that you would not want to know about.

Healthier? For example, chicken, in a restaurant they may or may not take off the fat, and possibly use cheap cooking oil that has been used over and over again (old cooking oil builds up toxins), throw in tons of salt and MSG and maybe cream or butter - at home I cut of most of the skin and the fat and if I use oil, it is olive oil which is a lot better than overused peanut oil.

And did the restaurant wash the food before cooking it (or worse - serving it raw)?

Looks like it is in Apple's favor now.

Today AAPL cap is $235 B, MSFT is 221 B, according to Google quotes.

If they only sold a bunch, one can rightfully assume that it's "Apple Fanboys", but they're not selling by the bucket-load, they're selling these things by the millions even if you're scratching your head "why?".

When someone is successful, it's useful to think about why they are successful - and sure if they stop doing "whatever they are doing wrong" maybe they will continue or prevent their future failure - or maybe there is something else going on and figuring out the reason can be quite informative. If you just think about the negative, you may never find out the truth. Who is buying it, what are people using it for, what are advantages - and it is a mistake to assume only idiots are buying it. Even if that is the case, remember the adage that you can learn from anyone, even an idiot.

I don't have one. I'm waiting to see what they do with V2.0. I'm thinking "why would I want one?" and I've been surprised that I have found a number of times where it could be useful.

There is an amazing - yet untapped source of energy that could be used. Portable too!

Get some Stevia no calorie but all natural (cough) sweetener.

Probably will taste about the same as that anti-matter swill that you've been using.

Plus it'll be somewhat healthier as you wouldn't have total annihilation going on in your digestive tract so you wouldn't need to eat as many Tums afterwards.

While I would agree with you, isn't there more than electrical charge being reversed - like quantum numbers.

Also while it seems quite reasonable to expect that gravity to be unaffected going from matter to anti matter, has it ever been demonstrated experimentally?

Nature always seems to have surprises to mess with out theories and our minds :-)
