RE: Windows 7 Selling Twice as Well as Any Other Version of Windows
[quote author="Sir Harry Flashman" date="1258664506"]Makes sense. I think that they stopped selling older versions of WIndows so of course 7 is outselling them.[/quote] My mistake, Harry - the comparison Mr. Ballmer was making was of Windows 7 during the first X amount of days of release compared the same number of days of the earlier…

RE: Windows 7 Selling Twice as Well as Any Other Version of Windows
The Windows brand was so tarnished by Vista, these kinds of results for Windows 7 are seriously impressive. But best OS ever? Please... :)

RE: China Unicom Expects iPhone to Become Best Selling Smartphone in China
I've no doubt that China Unicom will sell more iPhones, and that it will do better as the company adjusts its marketing and approach. The price issue, however, is real. I bet something will change in some way in this area sooner, rather than later.

RE: Miami Newspaper Tells Tale of Heroic Psystar Founders & Their Battle For Mediocrity
You seem a touch defensive, Dan. I stand behind my piece.

RE: Judge Grants Apple's Summary Judgement, Denies Psystar [Updated]
[quote author="I-agree-with_notYOU" date="1258253107"]I think I’m done trying to participate in macobserver discussions, not because ‘freetards’ is too resemblant of a youtube discussion, not because dave can speak up a little bit more without me, and not even because it’s oblique, but because… well… 3 times the page has ‘autoreloaded’…

RE: Miami Newspaper Tells Tale of Heroic Psystar Founders & Their Battle For Mediocrity
[quote author="ivo" date="1258131983"]They are profiling a cultural phenomenon here.  This is not only the kind of writing that wins awards—it’s also far more intelligent than the banal bleating that goes on in here.  You wouldn’t know good journalism if it sneaked into your bedroom and raped you.[/quote] That's pretty funny, Ivo.…

RE: IK Multimedia to Host "iPDJ" Live iPhone DJ Battle
We don't often announce parties, unless it's our own Cirque du Mac extravaganza, but this is both a brilliant marketing move and very cool demonstration of the iPhone's capabilities at the same time. So, if you're in Fort Lauderdale, let us know how it goes!

RE: Apple's Mini DisplayPort Becomes VESA Standard
I like the way Apple has not stayed satisfied with the status quo on display ports, but I am very happy to see those advances adopted as standards. Interoperability between Apple gear and third party kit is, I think, important.

RE: MAD Artist Lashes Out at Apple for Rejecting iPhone App for Political Caricatures
Jim, caricatures are not necessarily ridicule, and I don't see any ridicule here at all. For instance, I stil have a (relatively poor) caricature of myself I paid to have done at Six Flags 20 years ago. prl53: Politicians can't sue for this sort of thing. They are public figures, as mentioned in the article.
