1. Comment - Sony, MS to Join Forces Against iPod

   (Jan 7, 2005 - 4:15 AM)

   What a second, you're being just like him, bashing on Apple. Look in the mirror and think about what you're saying.
   
   I love all technology (Windows/Linux/OSX - Apple/Dell/IBM/ etc...). It's all good. There is good and bad, with anything you got.
   
   I assume you're a big time Microsoft person. Tell me, that there is nothing in Windows that needs to be changed or improved upon. Ya, thought so.
   
   You think I'm being a jerk, I know. I'm not. I just have a very open mind and don't want to live with hate in my heart.
   
   Boy, I wish BetaNews would get rid of the comment functionality thing. I read these articles and my experience gets destroyed, by negative people like you.

2. Comment - Apple Sued Over iTunes

   (Jan 7, 2005 - 4:04 AM)

   You're wrong. You're just one of those Apple bashers, who don't know anything about the technology they've created over the years. You live in that there's nothing but Microsoft or Linux world. Closing your mind is wrong and you only hurt yourself. I love Windows/Linux/OSX/Solaris/etc... Apple/IBM/Dell. It's all good.
   
   Sony has a sweet a** MP3 player and that's coming from someone who has and loves his IPOD.
   
   Don't close your mind and heart on stuff, for dumb reasons. For example: I was a big time Napster person and Metallic pulled their crap. I immediatedly banned Metallic and started saying that I hated them, because they have bank accounts that are in the 8 - 9 digit range and they complain and sued because people wanted to download their music. I've bought CDs, because I've found a song that I liked. I've now realized that I can't live with hate in my heart, over nothing. I mean, they're Metallica and they're legendary.
   
   I'm sure I've done nothing but anger you and I apologize.

3. Comment - Apple Sued Over iTunes

   You know, talking about playing Monopoly, look at Microsoft.
   
   Any how, there's all kinds of cool products and software out there. There's other music stores, out there. Use them and be quite.
   
   The IPOD isn't a MP3 player, at heart. ITunes is designed for MP4 / AAC formatted music, which is of much higher quality. Plus, the music is designed to have "security" built in. So, you can't just copy the music file onto your website and let people illegally download it.
   
   You guys are missing the whole picture. I'm not this big Apple advocate or something, but they have created alot of incredible software and hardware, throughout the years. I can also say that about Microsoft (well the purchased alot of cool technolgy), IBM, Borland, Oracle, etc.. and the list goes on. I'm open to all technology.
   
   I understand the arguement, "I payed for the music and I should be able to do whatever with it". There are always ways around stuff. Burn the music to CD and import the CD into WMP or WinAMP. Now you have WMA or MP3 files.
   
   WMA and WMV are proprietory Microsoft formats, hum.... and you need to use the divx player to play .divx files (proprietory).
   
   Pick on the big companies, to simply make money. I bet if Apple said, we'll support other third party MP3 players (export option or whatever) if you drop your suit, I bet the answer would be no. He simply wants money.
   
   Actually, I forget who makes it, but there is another player on the market which is suppose to play ITunes stuff, so that would destroy the little monoply theory. It was one of the really big names, I forget now....
   
   You guys probably think I have a bad attitude, but I don't. I'd like an export option myself. But, like I said, you just broke the copyright protection technology, the Music industry insists on.

4. Comment - Linuxcare Challenges Microsoft to Open Windows

   (Feb 21, 2000 - 11:56 PM)

   Open Source = Absolutely no security. Hackers would have a field day. There would be no trial and error with them. Some open source would be good, like non-vital systems. NO core access, no security, nothing that accesses the hardware directly. If I had the Windows source code, just think of the unstoppable viruses I could make. I could make a watch dog that would log every password, shutdown any persky Anti-Virus software your installing, embed myself inside the core kernel, so you couldn't touch me.

5. Comment - Microsoft Encourages 64-bit Development

   (Feb 21, 2000 - 11:42 PM)

   Wow. A 64bit DOS machine. I've already got a 64-bit OS, BE. Heck, you can get a 64-bit version of Linux. Microsoft's playing caught up. : Just Kidding? I am truely glad to see they're trying to open the doors to their new OS, with providing us with compilers and such. I'm sure I'll recompile my stuff. Plus, the rumors of Open Windows . . . I'd like to see that source code.
   
   Code like:
   
   if not App_is_A_Microsoft_product then
   begin
   Generate_Random_GPF_Error_or_Page_Fault
   Execute_Blue_Screen_of_Death
   end;
