    Windows wouldn't be Windows and Android wouldn't be Android without him. They all have copied from the Mac.

    Did Microsoft ever have a vision? I know they had a business plan.

    Apple in 1987-

    Apple today. 24 years later.

    This isn't a rant against Windows or anything else. I've been involved in computers since the Apple II. I've seen computer companies come and go. He's the last of the early computer pioneers. Amazingly he had a vision of how computers should be and worked for that.

    I've been to a few Macworld Expos. Saw him speak a few times. It's silly but even watching Apple Intros on the computer I still got chills seeing him walk out on stage. And yes I'm sure he had faults. But this single man changed how we all work with computers. His vision of how computers should work will last for many years.

    Something that has to be pointed out here... For all the work anyone did on computers, it was Gates who made them what they are today.

    Regardless of the actual technology and who developed it, it was gates who made personal computers what they are today. Regardless of who wants to claim he stole whatever...

    As for Jobs... it wasn't him who created the apple and its products... It was Wozniak that did... Jobs was, like Gates, the businessman...

    Apple innovated the personal computer by suing those who outsold Apple products

    kilts are expensive because not only are all those pleats a pain in the ass, but they are made from "the whole nine yards"
    9 yards of any fabric is not cheap, but wool, in an accurate tartan is even steeper.

    i was actually surprised by how many of the liberal policies i agreed with this time around, but i just can't justify voting for them with him at the helm. if they had chosen another leader for this election they may have gotten my vote. voted for the ndp, although my riding is usually conservative (lots of rich people here).

    The Mocker is our answer to ubiquitous (and, should we add, tight and uncomfortable and wimpy and tremendously lame) Dockers® worn by white collar workers all over the world.
    Detailed Description

    Pants are lame, and Dockers® are the lamest pants we can think of. They’re so lame that we decided to come out with a Utilikilt so sleek and clean and stylish that your Docker wearing friends would cry in secret shame.
    When we sat down to design the Mocker, we had two goals in mind:

    1. Design a cleaner, more refined looking Utilikilt that wouldn’t seem out of place at the office or with a shirt and tie.
    2. Put in enough hidden cargo space to please even the most demanding Utilikiltarian.
