  1. Comment - Apple declares war on the entire PC industry

    (Oct 21, 2009 - 9:34 AM)

    Guys, guys, guys... cool down, please. Stop comparing personal experiences. Everything is about money, right? But with MY money I do what I want and I suppose everyone does the same, right? For me it doesn't matter that some Windows/Mac OS X "expert" tells my I'm doing the best deal (or not) buying a PC or a Mac. It's all about MY personal experience! All about what I LIKE and what I WANT. Period! It's MY money :)

    Apple has good products because it controls both software and hardware. High end PC's also do that through rigorous hardware component testings, integration and microsoft driver certifications (HP, Dell and so on). These kind of control gives the end user some peace and a better "overall experience" but it costs more money. Go buy an Alienware laptop or some high end desktop and you get what I mean.

    The problem in the PC market (a real jungle!) is the low end hardware and poor driver development. But... everyone gets what it has paid for. Cheaper hardware means lower driver development and more erratic behavior.

    Recommendation? Buy something that fits you, your needs and your personality and forget all the fanboys opinions :))

  2. Comment - What the Microsoft Standards Battle is Really About

    This passage...

    "If there is any greater nightmare than having a US federal court impose oversight on one's business affairs, it's having the European Commission do it. European law is an extremely fragile framework, and the European Union is still a young organization, without the benefit of a few centuries of legal precedent to guide it."

    forgets that the European Union is also known as the old continent, where laws were made before the existence of the EUA. The European Union may be young but the countries that form it are very old and have great experience in law making.

    Regards.
