Actually, try Dec 23rd-24th. I got some for 75% off. Not many people still putting up decorations that close to the holiday.

Won't someone think of the imaginary children?!?

My anecdotal evidence disagrees with all of your anecdotal evidence. I have never had a problem with VMWare stability, RAM usage, CPU utilization or interface.

But really, your entire argument is crap the second you use the term "snapily" or "snappy." If you're angry at VMWare, and you install VirtualBox, your first impression will be that it's so much "snappier" even if the two are neck and neck. This is a stupid term, stop using it.

Sorry, but your points are pretty worthless because you don't back any of it up, you just cry "unstable" and we're all supposed to agree with your blind rage.

No, it's so you can't sell it used later. They want a piece of every sale.

PS3 is also a slot loader, but lauding them would be a sin on /. while praising the people who are popularizing $50 versions of Flash games is just fine.

Choosing a browser with security as the only concern? Opera.

Too small of a target to bother with. ...well, actually that would be Safari for Windows, but come on, I'm no masochist.

Americans really don't know much at all. S60 is the other platform by the world's biggest phone maker, ever hear of Nokia? It's Linux too, btw.

The problem is that Apple controls the store because they can't have t compete with their own apps. Developers are going to run for Android as soon as some more phones hit the market.

Hell, I prefer Windows Mobile because I can browse to a forum or website, download a CAB file and install the application. You know, like I own the phone and not MS. I don't even really like Windows, but I like being able to do what I want with my stuff.

Ones that want to buy their own hardware at a reasonable price?

Uhhh, this is Apple, the consumer is getting screwed 6 ways from Sunday.

$2500 minimum for a tower with a crappy video card, and no monitor? Sounds like someone got a good going over there.

The problem is making taxpayers carry the burden of a dying industry to keep their executives well paid, not your delusions of privacy where you've explicitly been told you have none.

Try reading the terms of service you've agreed to before you go for that "unconstitutional" angle so quickly.

Terrestrial radio? How quaint.

"With 3G Smartphones being so commonplace these days is Blackberry even relevent anymore?"

I can't figure best how to phrase a response given how completely ignorant that statement was. Shut up, stupid.

Apple and MS are two sides of the same coin.
