$ Apple is Now Debt Free $

Spam thread.

[Drake Tungsten]

It works the opposite way than he intended to.

It works both ways. I'm operating on several different levels at once, as usual.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I can't believe nobody else has reacted to the solid-gold quote of Drake. You're usually faster than that, guys.

It doesn't need a reaction. It's just so bad by itself.

[Skanky Burns]

I thought it was quite funny too, but I didn't want my entire contributions to the thread to just be pointing out ironic quotes.

[Asher]

Oh, I am a bit slow.

Now I get it.

I think they've just made a retreat. Mr. Nice Guy did so with his hands over his ears and tears in his eyes.

[Q Classic]

so has this evolved into a lurve-fest now?

Even the most idiotic people have moments of clarity once and a while. I think I've agreed with things you've said on occasion, which is living proof.

ROFLMAO!

[Agathon]

Actually that was Imran. Apologies.

[JohnT]

I responded to Imran. Don't get me involved in this spat. Thanks.

Ok, in reading Asher's posts throughout these last, uh, just a little over two pages, I find three "common denominators" in them:




lies

intentional ignoring of previously stated facts

it's not what he argues, it what he doesn't mention that he already knows to try to trick people

Wow, I was just about to write Mr. Nice Guy off as a complete idiot, but then he comes along and posts this completely spot-on appraisal of everyone's favorite MS employee. Good work.

He he.

Yeah, right. Apple has had full speech recognition working since OS 9. It works perfectly, even with my strange accent.

I can walk into the room and tell my computer to get my mail and it works just fine. It's a pity that Apple has left room for other companies like IBM to develop dictation software, because I'd like to be able to dictate email by voice. I can already tell the machine to bring up a compose email window and tell it who to send it to.

Strange but fun.

It's amusing that you insist speech recognition is perfect in its state right now. It's also amusing that no one in the industry would agree with you.

That should say a lot about your credibility with such things.

I think you might be interested in this interview, Agathon:

Part 1: http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase...lel_tjeerd.asp
Part 2: http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase...l_tjeerd_2.asp

It's an interview with Hillel Cooperman and Tjeerd ("cheered") Hoek of the Windows User Experience team at MS. They talk about how Hillel was a former Machead (switched after XP was released), and they talk about OS X's interface a bit.
