1. Comment - Microsoft acknowledges Live ID accounts breach

   (Oct 6, 2009 - 11:11 AM)

   I bet half of the e-mail addresses are like "greatest_grandpa" or "g-ma27". "Oh dear, this e-mail from Microsoft requires that I confirm my log in credentials by following the harmless link."

2. Comment - What hath Mac wrought? A remembrance after a quarter-century

   (Feb 4, 2009 - 8:41 AM)

   Foxfyre, you sir are an idiot.
   
   "So tell us, Mister Objective, what happened to Xerox's suit? Is it that you don't know, or that you just won't say, as it makes your initial fair and objective observation a bit vacuous?" - I don't CARE what happened to the suit...MY ENTIRE POINT IS THAT THERE WAS A COURT CASE PENDING AGAINST APPLE FROM XEROX. MY POINT AND ONLY POINT...
   
   Just because my attention does not critique every aspect of the findings of some damn court case, does not mean I'm "myopic" or judgemental...try to cover up something for MS? Where do you get this crap from?
   
   "Apple is NO MORE to blame for using a GUI than any other company who has done so" - I never once disagreed with this, did you even READ my post?
   
   My "selective attention" is not SELECTIVE...its limited to the scope of the original posters incorrect facts.
   
   "What happened to Xerox's suit?" - I ... DONT ... CARE ... it was just a fact.
   
   "If one is guilty of inappropriately using the GUI..." I NEVER SAID ANYONE WAS GUILTY, again, did you even read my post?
   
   "...you pretend to trot out and simply offer a few facts regarding Apple as you completely ignore MS's use of the technology ..." - Correct me if I'm wrong ... BUT THIS ENTIRE THREAD WAS BASED ON A MAC ARTICLE AND I WAS REPLYING TO MAC COMMENTS.
   
   You keep using the word "CASE" ... there was no "CASE" ... only a simple correction of data.
   
   Again, you sir are an idiot.

3. Comment - What hath Mac wrought? A remembrance after a quarter-century

   (Feb 3, 2009 - 8:26 AM)

   I posted a link to a New York Times article from 1989 which explains the series of events that I mentioned and as they were described to me by my professors.
   
   My information may be blunt, but it is simply true.
   
   1. Xerox did attempt to sue Apple.
   2. Steve Jobs didn't originally pay Xerox for the GUI. (I'm not saying he should be paying for it either.)
   
   Why are all you Mac Fanboys getting so upset? I'm only relaying information as truthfully as possible, but I'm somehow an enemy of Apple? Can you criticize me for being honest? If I posted incorrect information, prove to me that it is indeed incorrect - don't go on some lyrical jabber for 5 paragraphs which try to make me dishonest.
   
   Whatever you mean by "half-facts", they are still facts that falsify the original posters, which was my point.
   
   You're arguments aren't proving anything to me or many readers here.
   
   EDIT:
   I DO NOT criticise Apple for borrowing ideas, I do critcise them for borrowing the idea and then attempting to sue microsoft and HP for borrowing the same idea. Hypocritical and demented. *facepalm*

   I didn't "whine".
   
   I was providing correct information! I WAS NOT blaming Apple for anything. Hell, congratulate Steve for noticing the future of OS before Bill.
   
   ALL I was saying is that the information provided is incorrect, my point may be strong, but its not an accusation or a "stab" at your beloved Apple.
   
   You should re-read my comments and realize that my rebutal was towards other comments and in no way a form of angst towards Apple or their products.

   Foxfyre: I was just correcting the facts that were wrong above. I'm not vouching superiority or what company is better than who, it was just a simple "you're information is wrong".
   
   I never made an opinion of any manner, just provided correct information.
   YET AGAIN FOXFYRE, your comment is completely irrelevant to mine. Please calm down and don't go out on a tangent because the truth hurts your feelings. :'(
