Hes not giving away any of his money, and people still worship him?!?

What is with the SJ worship on reddit/HN? Apple continues to make overpriced hardware (compare to T and W series thinkpads xD) which almost always sacrifices form for function. Want to put an esata/fibre/ port on your laptop? - only one MBP allows it. OS X is a toy os for people who don't want to run windows (excell/MSVS) or linux. Sure, put the iWhatever in the museum of modern art, but just about any business-clas laptop will run linux.

And the Steve Jobs reality distortion field has come to an end.

finally something thats not about steve jobs.

This looks like a leftist version of the free state project, but with slightly more cool-aid.

For smartphones, sure. For desktops this is not going to happen for a long time if ever. When will AutoCAD, UGS-NX, MAYA, Photoshop, Quark Express, MatLAB, Mathematica (other than wolfram alpha), and even more specialized medical/industrial/scientific software be available for android? Will there even be decent gaming under java? (angry birds does not count)

chromebook for $500 is crazy. you can get a decent used thinkpad off ebay for that much that can run a real os.

The kindle DRM is pointless and an idiot tax ;). All it takes is one visit to library.nu or similar sight and all books are free, and pdfs.

100 million in t-bond & index funds and take a vacation.
