Um...I assume you're speaking of Linux? Every major OS is written in C with a little asm. I think like one subsystem in Windows is in C++, but most of the code in every major OS is…

Um...you ever heard of Windows CE and Windows Mobile? Neither has hardly failed or been aborted. Windows Mobile has a huge market share for mobile phones, and CE has a decent share…

Good lord look at all the CRAPPLE fanboys out tonight!! I simply LOVED this blogpost, as it has confirmed what I've been saying for months. I'm also very glad to see some Apple-Opp…

Give me a break. One can verify the reason of Apple screwing Google solely on Apple's actions in the past. They have one of the best mobile handsets in history, which could be TEN …

Have you ever seen 'organized and cleanly written' driver code? Have you seen all the crazy #defines in the kernel itself, all the optimized bit hacks and so forth? Its running on …

I completely agree. If you notice, on basically any T.V. show you watch today, anyone with a computer on the show, the computer will be an Apple (mostly laptops). Same in movies as…

I just don't get it. I promise I'm not flaming Apple anymore, for Christ's sake, I've never seen so many people whine and cry in my life just for saying a harsh word or two(or not …

Sort of what I thought, until I read more. If you read more, he explains that this article was a broad summary/introduction and that it is explained in more detail on his other blo…

The main thing to take away from this is that this guy got lucky on many fronts. People slipped up. He didn't root any boxes, he didn't exploit a software vulnerability in any weba…

This is SO ridiculous ! Just another one of Stallman's obsessive rants. He just can't accept that his beloved FSF/FOSS community wants to use something created by MSFT. If MSFT did…

Really...and here we thought SElinux was supposed to be 'more secure'. I love linux, and could read through the kernel source all day long, its freakin' beautiful, and have utmost …

hahaha good one!

No, but the Google guys are taking LSD, because they are definitely tripping right now!

I used to smoke but can't anymore because of legal constraints and of course drug testing, and the stuff stays in your system for at least a month (at least for me) :-(. This varie…

Wow, that shot over your head. The comparison is in between laptops with COMPARABLE specs. Good lord. Not a $500 Dell and a $1,000 Macbook. If you'll remember, most commercials wer…

Thanks for the hysterical laughter that you just provided me. The only apt analogy here is that the Mac is the taurus, with the price of the BMW. The comparison with the laptops is…

Its not just me dude, millions of others share the same opinion, but here ya go: My PC is faster than my friends' macs. The UI looks better on my PC, you can even make a window ful…

Wow, comparing a Taurus with a BMW? First, there's a huge price difference. Hell, these two are in two different classes of cars. BMW obviously has a nicer interior, better motor, …

If 'getting stuff done' means wasting time, then yeah, you're getting stuff done.

This is also a company that once tried to get a patent on GUIs, windowing systems. They thought they should be the only ones around to produce a machine with a graphical desktop. T…

Hehe, I knew I'd lose some points for that one. All the die-hard apple users constantly bash what I use, so I decided to give 'em some back. If its so great, why is its market shar…

I don't see where Apple gets off charging more for their computers. They're garbage. That reminds me of the youtube video of the guy flipping out because his Apple crashed again. I…

Ahh ok, thanks for clearing that up. I remembered after my last post that my professor showed me a free Standford web class on developing for iPhone, and they were giving real, in-…

Wow, you can't even load your own apps onto iPhone? Damn, I knew Apple was closed-minded, but this takes the cake. If you spend that much money for that monstrosity, you ought to b…

Just joined an open source project, a p2p client for eDonkey, and eventually bit torrent and others. It is an older project that went proprietary/closed-source and failed, and we'r…
