Well, the big problems with Flash and H.264 are that both are proprietary standards. One is a closed technology that's free to install on multiple operating systems. The other is an open technology that requires royalty payments. Neither is c…

I'm going to go on record as speculating that one of the new features is an external multi-touch trackpad instead of the Mighty Mouse. In my experience, the MacBook (Pro/Air) trackpad is superior to any mouse. This is in stark contrast to any PC l…

I'm not disagreeing, just adding another perspective to this discussion. There are plenty of examples of mediocre employees who attempt to compensate for their less than stellar performance by putting in extra hours. Many times, they don't actu…
