fudge, you are so right! apple's little players have far less features than alot of players out there, and the features that apples does have, dont work properly compared to the competition. there are lots of korean and chinese players out there with twice the battery life, that play hd video and output to an HDTV in hi-def. without the need to convert everything to hell. maybe apple is following enron's accounting system.

Ain't it amazing how much of a profit you can get when you're charging over $300 for a piece of crap Ipod that took $22 to build…

If the rest of their profit margin is padded, then it's easy to see why they made a profit.

Pure thievery & gouging the hell out of their customers.

You can't play crysis on a mac because Microsoft did an excellent job creating directx and now even NVidia and ATI coordinate with Microsoft to create new releases of hardware + directx software. In the meantime, the design by committee behind opengl delivered failure after failure.

Now it is cheaper to create windows games, not only because of the marketshare, but also because directx provides a lot of stuff and works great with the last cards.
The downside is that games can only be ported across systems using a windows wrapper.

As for the apple hardware, I can say my mac pro 8800gt is able to run crysis very well if I boot in Windows.

OSX is partially owned by microsoft, and was created by them at the beggining so you do have a point there. I just dont know how much microsoft gets for each MAC that is sold.

Lol @ 1,2,4,5,6 & 7.

Everything in the world is getting better and better.
Our healthcare is better than it ever has been.
Our education systems are better than they have ever been.

Don't try and beat the system. Make it better or consume.

Easy to make profits when you make a $20 product and sell it for $80.

Just make sure the public doesn't know.

@ 4, 6 & 7

It's just more of the same old corporate greed and all you sheeple are there pawns. You simple minded dullards need to wake up and enter reality, and realize that possesions are for weak minded fools such as yourselves. You buy their expensive products and fall into debt all to support corporate gains. you sheeple are pathetic.
