  • Quote: Originally posted by meilleure ami That assumes Apple WILL respond to the allegations. More and more, Apple has the feel of Microsoft. Too bad. "Think different" seems to have been supplanted with "do whatever it takes". Oh well. It's…
  • Quote: Originally posted by meilleure ami I totally agree. Problem with a substantive discourse is that Apple's policy to not discuss any pending legal matters leave us, their adoring public, no other sources of information. What's a concerned …

  • just use their smtp server while retaining the .mac account as the return address. in other words, when setting up the account, retain all settings as they are save for the change of the smtp server.
  • Here is a simple question. Is the introduction of all these new and faster chips doing anything to help the slumping PC industry? Other than Dell, the answer seems to be no. So, it would seem to me that Intel would be smart to milk the current chip…

  • It is very simple. You come on and complain about Apple in comparison to PCs. You have two choices. Either buy what Apple is offering or go buy a PC. Why is that so hard to understand. If Apple sucks as much as some of you complain, then your choice…

  • Wait a second, you made the assertion that Apple was responsible for the prices were so high because Apple, again, Apple had convinced/forced Motorola to set the prices at this rate. I call you on this and as proof of your statement you offer the fa…
  • "There you go. A 1.47x price difference is a little, no a lot, beyond the norm for quantity sales of that magnitude difference." Man this a pathetic offer of proof. the issue was whether Apple had forced/convinced Motorola that they should only o…
