..are seven more that involve commercial flight terrorism... and while the addition of these probably wouldn't change your overall astronomically high figures, i figured i should be servicey™ :[]

Where I live the press does not report subway jumpers even though they can cause great disruption to communter traffic and pedestrian lives. They do not report it because of the contagious nature of suicides.
I wonder why they can exercise restraint on a local level but not on a national/international level? Or maybe I have it wrong. One jumper may not be as interesting as 250 screaming passangers plumpeting to their deaths.
How do we not 'consume' news about terrorism when every media outlet is scrambling to out-report each other?

My theory is they need to keep some features iPhone-only to keep the iphone in demand.

It just makes one less trip for the person trying to get this info. Now you can get your latest news and mac details all on one site.

The link about how its not competitive brings you to a story about HTPC's which is great. But then you go on to talk about the Zino and the Revo and the EEEBox. All of these use atoms or the woefully underpowered AMD ULV.
You might as well compare a ZuneHD since it can output video to your TV also.

I would love to get an aspire one to replace the monolith like media server that is my old gaming computer, it works great but its extremely loud.

Can't play Hulu. Doesn't have OSX, Plex, remote control, bundled software, a real processor, a real GPU, capability to use with a desktop monitor and a TV at the same time. Also, not as quiet or as green as Mac Mini.
Revo is the second best choice for an HTPC but there are lots of things that it can't do. The only thing that makes Mac Mini less than perfect is the lack of HDMI and higher cost. But, if you can spend $580 for a Mini, you can also spend $20 for an HDMI adaptor. Is it too much for a Mac that replaces both your HTPC and desktop PC?

I've been waiting a month for my 27" i5 iMac to ship. But I figure it's since Apple is holding them for the software, firmware and packaging updates, so I'm grateful they're holding off to get it done right.

Ever since then I've made sure that every mac I used was bought with someone else's money, usually my employer.

Or if you do, return it (you could have, you should have, you didn't) and they would have taken it back, no questions, and cheerfully exchanged it for a new one.
I'd add that you're stretching quite a bit to recall a time a decade ago when you made a series of unfortunate consumer choices, failed to fix it, then ten years later, are trying to blame Apple. Try harder next time?

As to the not buying Apple with my own money that was meant to be comical. I don't buy Apple on my dime simply because I don't make enough justify the expense. Especially so when I can build a machine for $500 or less and put my choice of OS on it. I like Apple's products I just don't LOVE them. So long as they maintain the price points they have I most likely never will love them.
Condescension is not an effective mode of communication, especially when you're operating on absolutely zero familiarity with the intended audience.

That was a "joke". Your "humor". Very "funny"!
The same guy that buys an Apple laptop a week before a MacWorld conference, then fails to return it when he could have, then stews over these facts for ten years before finally venting here (of all places) is someone that builds his own <$500 laptop that has a better performance/feature set than what Cupertino has to offer?
The mind reels. It also calls shenanigans.
That wasn't condensation. That was pointing out the many, many flaws in what you wrote, and perhaps your thinking. If it makes you uncomfortable, become a better thinker or learn to write better in public. Or get used to discomfort:
the Internets can get a little rough, snowflake.

@StupidPopMediaReference:
Condensation: (Psychology) The process by which a single symbol or word is associated with the emotional content of several, not necessarily related, ideas, feelings, memories, or impulses, especially as expressed in dreams.
-OR- (Chemistry) Forming a liquid from a gaseous state.
I don't think either of you meant the above so here ya go...
Condescending: Displaying a patronizingly superior attitude.

Good catch, tho!

Must...refrain from...saying it.
(inside joke to those who know that I am NOT an Apple fan)

Tell you what. Just for you:
When to buy an Apple Product? Always. By all means, stay away from all products that don't have a piece of fruit branded on them. They're obviously far superior to all other competing products.
