Comment Re:Misleading headline, and ActiveX (Score 1) 380

I can't believe it; I thought I was the only person unlucky enough to have someone that vapid. I have a girl here that always calls me saying, "I saved this picture in Word and now I can't open it? Why is Word broken!?" I sent her a publisher document and instead of double clicking it, she opened Word, clicked open, navigated to the folder, and then complained when she couldn't find it! They get pissed at me when things don't work the way they imagine things should. Do you lock your door using your pecker? No, you use your keys. There are right tools and there are wrong tools for each job.

Apple only needs one version because they only have two types of client: Media designers and coffee shop hipster douche bags; and no one cares about the needs of coffee shop hipster douche bags.

Say what you like, but at least Apple keeps it simple for the consumer. Everybody gets the same version, and they can customize which features get installed. You get to choose if you want to install BSD or Developer tools, language packages, etc. I know there's also Mac OS X server, but the difference in price tag still helps to make it an easy choice for consumers.
