But they'd have to use Chinese parts...

Thanks, Nintendo, for the Wii-U

At least on the surface we'll feel justice is being upheld

10 PRINT... oh wait

I'll check that one out

Not that Taliban can claim nearly as many murders in their country as the Western military machines can... just saying.

I've been using Macs for a long time- even through the "Apple is going to die any day now" 1990s- and, from that perspective, I believe if this is the approach Apple will be taking I don't see it as a good sign. 1. As far as the mobile market goes, Android has shot up that proverbial ladder because of their open license agreement ( as well as the fairly solid design out-the-gate), 2. To believe this will work, Jobs must be convinced that Apple will gain significant marketshare in hardware and software before Lion's introduction and at this stage in the game Jobs, I believe, must seriously consider 3. His lifespan. If he dies around that stage of the game he'd already better have left something up his sleeve for Apple to work with. No matter how much us fanboys love Apple, we all have to remember that its a publicly traded company...

I use Office 2000 Premium on a Windows 2000 Professional PC (a Gateway PIII 500MHz with an AGP TNT2 32MB video card) everyday and use it on an equally old OS X based system at home (on a BlueG3 500MHz with a 32MB Radeon PCI card)- when your business depends on Office and you have to waste time with nuances (aka shortcomings) of the OS and those of the main application suite and how "well" they all interact with one another you'd see the frustration, time and money saved in switching to using Office on OS X. The relationship between Office v.X and OS X are practically symbiotic as the application suite's stability and graphics takes advantage of the OS's solid *NIX subsystem and Quartz technology for text smoothing (no need to argue that text smoothing is available on Windows- I know it is... and it doesn't accomplish it as well as OS X via Win2K or XP.) and advanced dispay options not available to the Windows counterpart (yes, this does imply that more than just Word is heavily utilized...).
