Well if I'm snarky, I think it's clear who is snooty. So when mediadefender went to take down rev3 with a DoS attack, if they had been rich snobs they would have gone after only macs to set the attack up? Or would they realize that the DoS attack only works when you have a lot of machines sending

Tom makes an excellent point. Nearly all "point and shoot" digital cameras go to work once you press the shutter release button down to take the picture. You can defeat that somewhat by anticipating the shot. Of course, that works a lot easier with subjects that are going on a predictable cours

It is difficult to have a reasonable discussion with someone who's view of reality is so far out of whack. It is even harder when you leap from one distortion to another unrelated distortion while insisting that they are somehow related and mutually supportive. Apple is the 4th largest manufact
