I gave my Windows PC away four years ago after buying my first iPod. I now have three Macs, other members of my family account five more, and we all love them. They're not perfect, mind you, but they're much more reliable and easier to use than our PCs ever were. Whatever Apple's doing, I hope they keep doing it.

How about allowing us to set windows for when Time Capsule backs up files? I don't need to have backups run every fifteen minutes through the night.
Also, I'm never going to use Safari unless they make a bookmarks pane on the left as FF and IE do. Message to Apple: don't put being different ahead of being useful.

It sounds to me like this would be a good candidate for an iPhone and BlackBerry app. How many people shoot guns when they're sitting in front of the computer (other than us developers)? ;)

Wow, who peed in his oatmeal?
I'd recommend reading Thoreau's "Walden Pond." That dude really knew how to chill out.

These days, I could care less about Microsoft. When I hear that they're about to announce a new product or enter a new market, I don't consider it important because innovation and quality just isn't in their genes. IMHO, they're living off past successes while companies like Google and Apple continue to innovate and make Microsoft a marginal player.

Yuch. Go back to the drawing board.

A proven cure for tinnitus. I'd clean out my bank account and cash in all my 401Ks, if need be, to pay for the treatment. For those who don't know what tinnitus is, just imagine having a high-pitched ringing sound in your head that never, ever, ever stops. Ever.
