Apple and the US patent system
smack that isaiah:
LINUX \m/_
Sorry, I don't know what's going on in this thread really, but that last post reminded me of this (^) bumper sticker I got on facebook
LTK:
I think the point was that Apple = Evil (or Businesses = Evil) and Patents = Fucked, then somewhere the inevitable Apple > Microsoft came up and led to the above.

--- Quote from: Sox on 10 Mar 2010, 07:57 ---I'm biased. I much prefer using OSX to any Windows operating system that I've had any experience with. But I don't hate PCs. I'd love to have a laptop running Windows 7. I've only ever met two mac users who claimed to hate PCs, but they were both 16/17 at the time (people on the internet do not count), and thus their opinions meant absolutely nothing. However, I have met countless PC loyalist who are quick to insult people based on their preference for macs. This initially lead me to draw the conclusion that while most OSX users have a preference, most Windows users had an obsession. Which isn't true, obviously. The truth is that the majority of people who use either couldn't give a crap either way, which is the way that it should be.

I'm in the same situation, but reversed. The only mac users I know are generally complete toolboxes.

I will say one thing though: I don't know what kind of computers a lot of my acquaintances own. It's not a subject that comes up often. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a pretty even pc-mac split amongst some of my more distant friends simply because a lot of 'em make enough money where getting a pretty upscale Mac isn't a big burden.

Amusing personal anecdote: I took an interview with a fellow student from a high school teacher, and this is what happened when he pulled out his laptop.
Teacher: You're also a student, right?
Student: Yeah.
Teacher: What the heck are you doing with a Macbook pro?
Yes, macs among students are more uncommon since the common student at the university of Amsterdam can't afford one. They're abundant with the staff, though. His story: at the end of the year he had a couple thousand in his bank account and didn't want it to go up on taxes, so he blew everything on a mac plus any peripheral available. Uses it to play flash games at Kongregate through half of every lecture. But I guess for every dumbass Mac user there is a dumbass PC user.
Speaking of Microsoft vs. Everything else, witness an epic Microsoft troll.
