I posted a comment on a recent story about Adobe software and it only shows up if I'm logged in! I don't support sites that do this. If you don't like my opinion then just respond …

"Photoshop is the only Mac program I've seen that uses "setup" and "uninstall" paradigm, two idiocies from the Windows world." I guess you hate apt and yum too? Gee, having a list …

"Tech. Money. Internet. 25 and under." Well Alex sounds a bit like a d-bag.

Multitouch means that I have to be holding the phone with my other hand. No thanks! I'd rather do the whole thing with my single thumb, unless I'm typing and then I'll use 2 thumbs…

And then?

really?

The first of many? Some say it's just a matter of market share. Others say that the Mac is a impenetrable fortress of digital nirvana. What do you think?

The first of many? Some say it all depends on market size. Others say that the Mac is an impenetrable fortress of digital nirvana. What do you think?

Please get well or just die soon please so we can stop reading about it. Thank you, have a nice day.

Thanks for the history lesson, but it doesn't backup your statement that everybody uses Windows because "everybody uses Windows". Obviously there's not an objective bone in your bo…

"...people have always used Windows because it was \"what everyone uses\"" That doesn't make any sense. Obviously there was a time when nobody used Windows, so what made them buy i…

"Is this going to keep Windows competitive with OS X?" I think you got that backwards. Windows is the one with 90% of the market share. OSuX will be playing catchup for a long, lon…

If I wanted to read another fluff piece about Apple I could've gone to wired.com

I'm looking forward doing more Silverlight + C# than anything else.

John Gruber needs to just get it over with already and ask Steve Jobs out on a date.

Thanks. I don't like the way that one works though. "The apps run on a virtualization layer on top of the OS..."

Imagine if you could sit down to a clean install of Windows and get all of your favorite programs installed as easily as if it were Ubuntu or OpenSUSE? I'm thinking that you could …

I agree that for a single developer, open sourcing a product can be very good. You get peer recognition and probably some job offers. But I bet those job offers come in from places…

Can you give an example of where it does make sense? I'll venture a guess that you probably think that it made sense for Digium to open source Asterisk. At first, it did seem to ma…

1. I agree that both analogies break down. However, my point stands: Just because a consumer can't fix a product themselves doesn't make the product inherently evil or bad or anyth…

My company sells their software worldwide, so yes, it will cut into my sales. Also, I sell telephony software so I don't need any more legitimacy or recognition.

"In other words, if you decide to make your end-user software open source, most of your users probably won't even notice!" So, why do it then? The two points made by this article d…

I've been programming on Windows for about 10 years and I can honestly say that I simply don't have to use a terminal outside of running the occasional command. For automation I us…

Context menu integration (more commonly known as shell integration) means that when you install certain programs like Tortoise, the program will add extra menu items to the context…
