1. Comment - Snow Leopard and Windows 7 still can't crack the netbook problem

   Since I didn't make my own hardware...I would call myself a computer manufacturer, which is what all those companies you listed are...one of them just happens to charge a whole lot more for their computers.

   The case may be well designed, but none of the hardware inside that case is made by apple. You're saying that you're basically paying a premium to have a nice case with a very large profit margin to make the price of OSX look attractive.
   
   I just don't see how you can say Apple is a hardware company if they don't make any hardware. If I took an Intel I7-920, put it in a box (maybe I even designed a nice looking box to put it in), resold it to you for 4 times what I paid for it, can I be a hardware company too?

   That doesn't make them a hardware company...they're a packaging/marketing/reselling company...NVIDIA, Intel, AMD, ATI, those are hardware companies. Apple just takes other people hardware, packages it in a nice box, slaps OSX on it, puts an inflated price on the package, markets and sells the result.
   
   It's a good business model, they make a lot of money doing it. But that doesn't make them a "hardware company".

   How exactly is apple a hardware company? What "Apple hardware" is inside of mac pro?

   The reason it's not relevant that ig ot slower is because nobody REALLY notices...I personally can't tell if my browser loaded a site in 300 milliseconds or 400 milliseconds...and if it loaded it in 400 instead of 300, I really don't care. The amount of time we're talking here is so trivial it's pointless to discuss. If we were talking about waiting 10 seconds instead of 2 seconds then I can see a problem.
