The next time some doofus says "Apple always has to catch up to others", tell them
"Well, yeah, they did have to put in a camera later on, you're right... So when's your Blueberry or Fuzed smartphone going to get a fully-enabled touch screen without the need of that stylus?"

(names changed to protect the second rate competitors' crap)

1. Isn't that the other way around?
The impression I've gotten of Windows 7 is that it's playing catch up with Mac OS X. And perhaps I'm wrong, but it still doesn't appear that the guys up at Redmond have had time to build something like Spaces into Windows yet.

2. Expose
Is there an equivalent to Expose in W7? I can't survive without Expose.

6. I use spaces all the time. One annoying thing though...

When syncing the iStuff, iTunes/iPhoto takes over and auto switches the desktop from where I'm at. I need to turn that off!

Next cat... make the ability to have more than 4 Spaces. My old UNIX at work can have 16 desktops.

EDIT: I just found the + sign. I can have up to 8 desktops.:dunce:

4. There is, according to a glowing review by Slate's resident M$ worshipper.
... and general all around Apple Basher.

It's called Aero Peek. Manjoo says it's better than Expose, but Manjoo's a douchebag.

5. Who said that?
Edited on Mon Nov-02-09 04:17 AM by Touchdown
Sounds like somebody to laugh at, not tell them anything but that they're drooling on their shirt.

I had a rasberry. It was junk! And... it had no camera on it. I doesn't use a stylus. It uses a mouse wheel on the side to navigate. The interface is shit. A few years old, but I'll never get RIMmed again.

EDIT: Besides. Cameras on cellphones are shitty cameras anyway. a $100 Kodak, Fuji or Nikon shoots circles around even the best cellphone cameras. A $200 Canon or Olympus is pretty damn good for such a little thing.
