Found your problem there. You're obviously using windows.

This is slashdot, so I'm not surprised you'd be unable to make a conclusion that requires you to think about things in a light other than white or black. I'll spell it out for you. What Apple's good at is not necessarily always coming up with an original idea, but at making an idea or feature actually easy to use. Let me repeat that, so you get it. They're good at making technology easy to use. Got it? What good is a device or application that has every feature you could imagine or want, yet no one understands how to use it, what the feature is, why it matters to them, or how to find it? The current state of user interface on windows and linux is so bad, that Apple probably doesn't even have to try that hard to make something that isn't crap in comparison. So rather than looking down upon every person you feel isn't capable of "dealing" with the complicated windows world, consider most would rather their computers just fucking work. Hope that helps.

If only there were some alternative operating system / computing platform that had DVD support out of the box and was easy to use.

Oh well... </me goes back to using his macbook pro>

This chip is a CPU. It consumes almost no power when idle. Most of the time my CPU is idle, but there are other components in my computer that should be idle even more, like my sound card, the 3d component of my video card, etc. Could a clockless chip be used in these applications as well?

From RTFA:

Is he glib and superficially charming? - Is he a people-person?

Does he have a grandiose sense of self-worth? - Does he add value to the company?

Is he a pathological liar? - Does he keep the investors informed

Is he a con artist or master manipulator? - Does he attract new business?

When he harms other people, does he feel a lack of remorse or guilt? - Does he have what it takes to thrive in a competitive enviroment?

Does he have a shallow affect? - Does he let his emotions control his business decisions?

Is he callous and lacking in empathy? - Is he able to place the interests of the company first?

Does he fail to accept responsibility for his own actions? - My personal favorite - Is he able to look at the 'Big Picture'
