Enough said :)

can't be much more, considering sales and pace of innovation of both manufacturers :p

not for everyone I know :p

dig deeper, you'll see it is a bit more complicated than that.

then tons of slashdot people will want to program it to be their virtual girlfriend... I am sorry I don't have a car analogy for that yet :)

they can even keep things free with robots exclusion files

quick! somebody at HQ patch the universe DRM of the universe or the little tiny simulons on the terra grid might jailbreak the universe and run unauthorized code... that might affect the stability of the universe and they may created pirated planets... which would result in a loss for the RIAA (Galactic RIAA)

Or if newt gingrich gets elected :p

I am disappointed... in this rant, we people who like linux don't even get mentioned... next year is the year of linux on the desktop, i swear :p

and when battery stops working, you don't throw it away, you just eat it

I believe they call that going to the bathroom nowadays :p

Woosh! that was supposed to be (and is) funny :)

Come on man, it's not that hard... I believe in you, One day, you too can learn to plug it in the dark just like the other billions of people who do it almost every day :)

yes, you can find a lot of technical details how they appear to comply and in a way I understand apple likes their innovation but seriously, why can't they make a standard usb cable like all the other manufacturers... imagine if all outlets in homes were slightly different? Standards are good. The EU has a valid point.

I totally agree... don't take the higher paying job, you have to love your job or it is not worth it... send them my resume instead lol :p
