    Older Macs voted off the Mountain Lion island

    I have a mid 2007 iMac, but Snow Leopard was really the last OS it could support. Lion has fucked it.

    Leaked docs: Heartland Institute think tank pays climate contrarians very well

    Yes we need more funding into the benefits of smoking. Far too much government funding into the negative effects.

    Leaked docs: Heartland Institute think tank pays climate contrarians very well

    Absolute fucking scumbags. If there's a hell... Or maybe the hell on earth they're trying to hard so actualise will be enough.

    Wasteful and unethical: why we hate crippled products

    Are you really this fucking stupid or what Edit: Ok I'll explain myself (although I can't imagine why I'm bothering) Imagine if a two identical cars (love car analogies) had air conditioning, but one had the button taken out so you couldn't use it. How is pricing going to work? Is the car...

    A new standard in design: in-depth with the PlayStation Vita

    It looks pretty much identical to my 1st generation PSP from 2004 I'm sure there are differences, but a new standard in design? I don't think Sony knows what 'design' even means any more.

    Happy Valentine's Day: US government breaks up with LightSquared

    America needs a wholesale national wireless network, hopefully somebody does this. I doubt it with the current corporatocracy in charge, anything challenging AT&T or Verizon is bound to have all kinds of problems thrown at it.

    Wasteful and unethical: why we hate crippled products

    There's a lot to think about with price, none of which you have actually covered. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price is a good summary In general, a company producing two identical products; one hobbled and lower priced, one fully functioning and higher priced, is a complete fraud and...

    Wasteful and unethical: why we hate crippled products

    I know you're just trolling, but Apple represents the opposite of what this article means. No Apple product is deliberately worse than it could be, to sell a better model. They use planned obsolescence a whole lot - a new OS will grind your device to a halt and force you to buy the new one, or...

    I guess no-one's interested in market sales anymore

    Yes exactly. Steve Jobs deserves credit because he sought these technologies and improvements out, accepted the extra cost it was going to cost, and made it an integral part of the design.

    Apple offers budget, EDU-only 13" MacBook Air as white MacBook replacement

    Why is it such a sticking point? The difference in end price on equivalent products simply isn't that substantial. Certainly not substantial enough for the kind of wholesale disregard for any benefit to choosing an Apple computer. People can (and do, unfortunately) discuss in great detail the...

    Apple offers budget, EDU-only 13" MacBook Air as white MacBook replacement

    If I can make a small point in this shitfest of trolling: Marketing encapsulates product design as well as promotion! The product is part of marketing. Shitty products means poor marketing, hence "Apple make poor products but have amazing marketing" is not a valid sentence. You could say that...

    Apple offers budget, EDU-only 13" MacBook Air as white MacBook replacement

    108 (109) comments on a three paragraph story about something completely unremarkable. And most of these comments will probably be people who claim not to like or care about Apple.

    Nikon D800 combines medium format quality, HD filmmaking in one DSLR

    Sigh, another comment on a tech site article about cameras. Let's play the "how elitist can we get about cameras" game! I think you win.

    Apple rules top three smartphone spots but loses new users to Android

    +1 Your posts dont show you want serious conversation. They show you want to troll and get a reaction.

    Journalist recovers video of his arrest after police deleted it

    I think this captures it. The man was obviously provoking a reaction, but it was with the aim of changing what is an awful situation. He wasn't doing anything particularly offensive, harmful or out of line, so the very forgivable means can certainly justify the ends.

    Apple rules top three smartphone spots but loses new users to Android

    The reported data clearly contradicts your philosophising.

    Apple rules top three smartphone spots but loses new users to Android

    Because she's a woman (or soccer mom, as they are sometimes known)

    Apple rules top three smartphone spots but loses new users to Android

    Absolutely not. Data loss with iPhone use is not what is driving people who haven't used smartphones before (as a market segment) to prefer Android. By definition, actually.

    Apple rules top three smartphone spots but loses new users to Android

    If she's a ditsy lady, you're a disgusting and judgemental person. Not to mention completely unknowledgable, MobileMe (and now iCloud) have had instant contacts back up for years.
