Yes, they are all crappy. It's 2010 and we still have the same machine we had in 1981. A CPU, a couple of drives, an SVGA monitor, a communications port, some RAM, and a mouse and keyboard. Aren't we supposed to be living George Jetson style by now? No, not while there is a tangible loot to be taken by the powers that be. Ever since the PC monopoly phenomena thingy occured there have been no real groundbreaking advances in U.S. technology. Just prior to 1981 we were being flooded with new human toys everyday: lasers, digital media, nuclear power, microwave ovens, plastics, organ transplants, and the list goes on. Since 1981 there has basically been....nothing. Except for some rewritten monopoly laws and a government who burned their own economic flag that they had just waved so proudly in their last two wars. Progress has been sacrificed in the name of cash. An entire species has become like crack addicts dependent on a little piece of shit box that is little more than a typewriter with schitzophrenia. Let's hope our forced marriage to the ugly bride does not last forever, or forever may come sooner than we think. Piss on you too.

Microsoft Windows is THE catalyst which make people do things like Mac OS X and Linux :-) You’re surely right.

I'm sure the Mac fanboys are high-fiving each other about this, but it seems kinda ****ed, especially considering that Apple wouldn't exist today if they weren't saved by Microsoft's enormous bailout.

osx is based on the mach kernel which is somewhat from BSD … from where freebsd has its roots also.

it also uses freebsd’s implementation of tcp/ip stack [which is better]
apple uses a lot of freebsd’s stuff but it has a few more additions [ofcourse.. else we'd simply call it MoBSD i believe :p]

you would wanna see this ruby….
