I just read this for the first time, but I'm still a little foggy on what the hell it's about.
http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=1624 Could anyone explain this to me? Is it really against the law to have a logo that's an apple, even though it is totally different than the Beatles' logo? |

Microsoft and Apple don't really care for each other? Is that why Microsoft makes Microsoft Word for Mac? Is that why Apple makes QuckTime and iTunes for Windows? Granted, the two companies aren't going to be caught kissing, they're certainly not at war with one another. Come waste your time with me |

Alright. Whatever. I don't talk like an idiot. I'm merely voicing my OPINION that the Beatles should back off of Apple, and also recognizing the common disagreements between many PC and Mac users. I know a lot who hate each other and get into huge arguements.

Plus, the reasons Quicktime and iTunes is for PC as well, and Microsoft Office is for Mac is because they want to make as much money as possible, which means making it available to other platforms. It's purely buisness.

Yes, there are quite a few disagreements between Mac and PC users, but the attitudes, ideas, and opinions of the users don't reflect the attitudes, ideas, and opinions of the individual companies. You've suggested that there's some sort of animosity between the companies. It's no secret that Jobs has publicly insulted MS and the Windows OS on more than one occasion, but that certainly doesn't mean that Apple and MS "don't care for one another."
Again, I wasn't talking about your taste in music, I was referring to your profanity-laden post about The Beatles and their intentions in filing suit against Apple. You could have thought of a much better way to word that than you did. It just wasn't very becoming of someone who is probably pretty intelligent. Edit: Of course it's business! That's the point. To maintain a healthy and productive business relationship requires a certain amount of (for lack of a better word) love between two companies. MS knows that some people will switch to Mac because they know they can run Word from a Mac system; although, they'll end up making money off the partnership. Come waste your time with me |

Thank you for your compliment on my intelligence, strange enough as it is since I believe you said I was "talking like an idiot." Besides that point, I might have been too rash in using some minor vulgarities, although I try to keep an open mind about them when I speak in an unformal environment. Anyways, I got my answer to my question, so thanks for that, and sorry about our disagreement.
