      Link, please.

      Kidding. Okay, I'll give you that.

      How about MS' Media Center PCs? How about bundling a HD and ethernet with a game console? How about adding tiltwheels to the mouse for horiztonal scrolling? How about the SmartPhone OSes? How about tablet PC OSes?

        Where's Apple's equivalent to research.microsoft.com?
        How many patents were they issued in 2003?
        How come they still don't ship two-button mice, at the least?

        Innovative my ass.

          How about being a willing partisan for companies on an online Civ-related message forum? Jesus, I hope you guys on both sides are being paid for your countless hours of *****ing and d**k measuring here.

                Because MS is a larger company than Apple right now, they have the resources to handle many more projects and products than Apple. With significant growth, Apple will someday be able to do the same thing.

                But Dear God, please don't let Apple become a behometh bullying monopoly like MS.

                  Asher: Apple Sucks

                  Ag: No, It dosen't

                  Asher: Yes, it does

                  Drake: No, M$ does

                  Asher: Wrong

                  Ag: Right

                  Asher: You Suck

                    Of course you are. Asher has already proven it. By patent numbers alone you fail in your argument. What, you have iTunes and that is it? That's your innovation argument?

                      So a natural corollary of this, MS is more innovative due to it being a large company with more resources?

                      But Dear God, please don't let Apple become a behometh bullying monopoly like MS.
                      Remind me again which company forced clone makers out of business?

                          I can't remember the last time I used "M$". It's homo-gay.

                          That's your innovation argument?


                          What argument? I remember making a pronouncement, but no argument.

                            Or is MS a large company with more resources because it is more innovative?

                            But Dear God, please don't let Apple become a behometh bullying monopoly like MS.


                            They already were. Back when they had market share.

                                Asher, give it a rest. You have better things to do, right?
