Installing and app from the Mac Store, friendly. Installing an app outside the Mac Store without changing your settings, right click and open as instead of double clicking, friendly. If you need to change your default settlings to install apps outside of the Mac Store you're not using Mountain Lion correctly.

Only on Slashdot does this inaccuracy and borderline lie get modded as 5 insightful.

Yes let's just ignore the fact that all we've heard for years from Android users is how fast the CPU is in their phones and how important it is to them, like it actually matters. Now the shoe is on the other foot it suddenly isn't a reason to buy or upgrade a phone.

How can you not see that it's totally the same thing. OH right, this is Slashdot and baseless Apple bashing is the norm.

Er my mac runs OSX, Linux and Windows...

Mine works instantly.

Good old Slashdot, never let the facts get in the way of an Apple bash.

Only on Slashdot would this get modded as 5 interesting.

Only on Slashdot does this got modded up. Keep on living in your bubble while Amazon gets away with it.

I assumed the sarcasm would carry over into my typing by typing the same random XXXX antibiotic's but it clearly didn't, no half of the world wouldn't die.

lol you're kidding? That's your comeback? Oooooh a USB mouse, yeah I'll take that over an all in one single connecting speaker, video out dock. Amazing response, honestly thought you we're joking when I first read your reply. Oh also comically, yes you can connect a keyboard and mouse if you don't mind messing a little, it's also been done with PS2 connectors.

The EU are fine with this. http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MD099ZM/A/apple-iphone-micro-usb-adapter?mco=MjU5MjAwODM The directive is there to stop people throwing away chargers, this fixes that problem and the EU is fine with it. Apple is complying, and a quick google search brings up 100s of citations.

Goog luck using that Micro USB on your non fashion statement in the same way Apple uses their connector on the iPad and iPhone. Hint - yours can't do as much.

They do comply. You just don't know the regulation as well as you think you do, which works out well for your anti Apple whine but doesn't actually make you right.
