Most Mac users do not have this delusion that Apple invents everything like you think they do. They are however usually the first one to get it RIGHT and THAT's what everyone copies. Trust me Windows would look nothing like it does now (it wouldnt even be called Windows) if it weren't for MacOS. Look how many phones now look like and try to emulate the behavior of the iPhone.

So you can stop trying to convince us Apple doesn't invent everything, we know.

And I bet 100 bucks that Microsoft stores will take design hints from Apple stores when the truth is if Apple had no stores, then Microsoft stores would probably look more like Radio Shack than what an Apple store looks like.

And someone might break into my house if I leave the keys on the door.

The world would be a better place if everyone had a Drobo.

"The labels, on the other hand, feel like they brought Apple back from the dead, blessing the company with content."

It's their fault for not having the vision to do this themselves. I recall when Apple first rolled out the iTMS, the execs were quoted as saying they would consider it a success if Apple sold a million songs in the first year. When Apple passed that milestone in a week, they should have seen the writing on the wall.

Of course they would never have been able to implement such a system to the level of success Apple has, so from my point of view, it's the music labels that should be thanking Apple, not the other way around.

I dont know what you guys are crying about. I scanned over 250 dvds with my iSight using DL and it recognized every single one of them.

And if you can't afford it, get a better job. Or maybe look on the internet for a discount code, if you can figure out how to use Google.

"We're sorry, you may not enter your home because your bill is past due. Have a nice day"

makes me wish I lived next to a Starbucks.

This is no different than Microsoft counting Zunes as "sold" when they leave the manufacturing center, the difference being the iPhone in question will no doubt be sold very quickly.

OOOHH so its only the PERCEIVED volume, not that actual volume.

I feel much better now.

If OWC was the only supplier of Mac products I'd switch to PC's.
