That is HILARIOUS. Like Jobs built anything involved with any of those projects.

Woz is God! Deal with it Jobs! You will ALWAYS be 2nd.

It is a hardware company vs. a software company.
Maybe 20 years ago they competed but that is no longer the case.

Nothing bias against either side but Apple's main focus is gadgets while Microsoft's main focus is software. Yes, Apple makes software and yes Microsoft makes hardware but neither are their main focuses.

Comment What is hold US back? (Score 1) 511

Just a brief story on what is holding my company (insurance) back.

A few years back we looked into "paperless". What we found out, yes of course the IT department could do it. We would need terabytes worth of space but it could be done fairly easily. However, after having our legal department look at the same issue we found that NO we can not do it. The law was worded to state that we NEED to have a paper file on site. In some cases we needed to keep the file for 20 years.

So, from a IT perspective NOTHING was keeping us from going paperless. However, from a red tape perspective we could not go paperless. At least that is how it is in my industry.

"It appears that today might be the end of a very long road to health care reform."

No it doesn't. They won't even vote until Sunday. Which is not today. Even then, depending on what they actually vote on it might go back to the Senate and then back to the House.
