        LOL, I was reading some comments of Apple users when learning that one can mod the ipad to run Windows, one guy's remark was " Oh crap! ipad has a virus" ๐Ÿคฃ

          What do people do to make their computers crash? I have not seen a bluescreen for years. I knew how to make my old Windows NT PC crash (opening a text file from an external UDF rewritable CD drive did the trick) but since then I have not seen a software-induced crash. Failing hardware can cause crashes, but in that respect PCs and Macs seem to be equal.

            Good question - I haven't had software crash ever that I recall, just hardware problems.

              In my case from what I remember, the problems occurred when I removed the programs. It often happened that files that should not be have taken out were.

                        That's what happens when a company climes up the ladder. There are lot of others trying to pull the down. Whatever about the patent cases, the suicides are terrible. Maybe its about time Apple stated manufacturing their products in the USA!

                          Anyhow, I suppose this whole Mac vs PC business is why so many people are in love with Linux?

                          For one reason, Linux is free. Also I like being able to get into the nuts'n bolts of an OS when necessary, and I like how Linux often doesn't give a darn who made your hardware, it just works (most of the time); like XSane scanner software, HP seems to think I need a 250MB program just so my scanner/printer combo works. Linux? No bloatware, Xsane does a great job, simpler. Add things like Songbird or Amarok, GIMP, Blender, Compiz, and all the other great free apps that I can run on Linux (including SU), and the only reason I stay with Windoze is gaming.

                          Plus I guess I'm just tired of all the companies telling me I don't really own my software anymore. Open source FTW. JMO.

                          As far as apple goes, I think it's partly that it has the new-age hip feel to it, whereas MS has a rather stuffy business image. As mentioned previously, Apple stuff pretty much just works. I have a Win mobile 6.x phone and I got my wife an iPhone. My phone is slow, has too many menus to jump through, locks up occasionally, doesn't play any media other than MP3s, and any has no real "app" selection. OTOH, the iPhone is quick, does what it does well, doesn't lock up, plays most media, and has tens of thousands of apps. I'm always stealing her phone, I'd get rid of mine if I didn't need it for job-specific software I use.

                            "The worldโ€™s largest electronics assembler โ€“ Foxconn โ€“ who provide for Apple, has seen another one of its staff members killing themselves...........This news comes on the back of a notorious story where Sun Danyongwas (allegedly) being shoved around and beaten up by Foxconnโ€™s security after a prototype Apple iPhone 4G went walkies................ like Sun Danyong, leapt from her apartment block to her death."

                                Even though I just became a member today and I praised Solo's work as an inspiration for becoming a member, I must ๐Ÿ˜ฒ say that I am extremely happy in my cloistered Apple world. My wife insists on using Windows (insert the version and expletive of your choice). I'm the de facto IT guy which has to find files, dig through an endless control panel and plow through arcane menus to fix problems I never experience on a Mac. If the "Apple Guy" ever does a commercial with the "ZX Spectrum Guy" I'll know why I still want my Mac! ๐Ÿ˜„

                                  But I just got an email ad from Apple. Seems like they are happy to promote CS5 (and sell it on their website).

                                    I'm quite satisfied using a PC, paying less than half for a mac-laptop with the same specs, and the comfort of not having seen a blue screen for the last four years. And on the techsupport mentioned before; I called Dell to ask why after only a year and a half the 'a' key on my laptop-keyboard was sometimes slightly less responsive. The next day I got a call from a mechanic asking me whether it be more convenient for me to have him come over at 9 am or 5 pm. He arrived the same day at 5 pm and replaced the entire keyboard free of charge, even though I ordered the thing with the standard 'free' support package.

                                        there is one point there.

                                        sorry Steve. you do not decide what I see or don't see off of your own interests. if I want to look at something, whether it is porn, lolcats or anything else, a private individual such as yourself does not decide that.

                                        and that is why I'll never own an apple product as long as he is calling the shots.

                                          Thanks for the link to that fascinating discussion. As for who "won", it depends on which kind of "points" you are counting. Social Justice vs. Abstract Logic vs. Debating Style vs. ...

                                          I recently saw a televised debate between Michael Shermer, publisher of Skeptic Magazine, and Depak Chopra on the existence of God. I was very glad to see Chopra on the God side instead of a Bible Literalist. The debate took place at Cornell University and the audience was clearly sharply divided. Very interesting was the post-debate interviews with participants and audience. Pretty unanimously, both sides were very satisfied that they had won.
