Hey timaelliott,

As benjaminsull mentioned, I wrote "for starters" and "at least!" ;)

Haha! Looks like Axis Bank really was inspired by Mitsubishi's logo and Verizon just copied Axis Bank's logo and made it symmetrical.

Our friend here should first buy a laptop that is worth the same that of a MacBook Air and then compare it.

"I cannot escape hardware failures no matter what brand I buy" - That includes Apple sir!

"Built-in mics/cameras don’t work, batteries don’t charge, hard disks crash, motherboards die" - sounds like a $100 laptop. What else can you expect?

"I still have laptops that take 15 minutes to start." - My Windows 7 Dell XPS laptop starts in under 1 minute or sometimes max 2 mins.

"Shut Down Time and the 255 Different Ways Of Doing It" - takes lesser than starting up. I have set it to hibernate if i close my lid and to shut down if i press the power button.

"Battery Life" - I have a 9 cell lithium battery which gives me no less than 6 hours of usage. None of the Macs can give that.

"Performance" - If you are ranting so much about a "cheap" laptop which you bought ages ago and not the modern high-config (like the Macs) laptops, then I have no idea what "performance" you are talking about.

"Portability" and "Noise" again a sign that you bought a cheap laptop and not a good, configured laptop.

You seriously need to get a life my friend. Buy a good laptop (which will cost you money, but still less than that of any of Apple's laptops) and then compare it with a Mac.

Over 90% of the world is just using Windows for bullshit reasons like that of your's.

If you buy a cheap laptop you will get cheap features.

PARC just created the user interface which later greatly influenced future developments not only at Apple, but at Microsoft and Sun Microsystems too.

Well just for your info, these texts were written by Sculley himself and published on Bloomberg Businessweek as attributed in the post. I guess everybody would agree that every word in it went through a good editorial. And besides, he is using beautiful combinations of simple English words to describe Jobs. I don't find any problem anywhere.

As for the "legend" quote, I ask you to kindly read the line again. It says "What Steve Jobs said to make Pepsi executive John Sculley defect to Apple, according to legend." and it is truly written as that is what Steve Jobs said but but it has never been verified by either Steve, or Sculley himself.

So now who is being just a hater?
