You get what you pay for. Ownership vs. Lease. Can we all be certain the Zune Store will be here tomorrow? Is Apple's pricing structure really the only thing they can attack?

Microsoft should stop slamming their competition and start pointing out great things in their products..... wait.... they tried that with the ads they shot at Best Buy advertising Windows Live Gallery etc. and were atrocious. Hire a new marketing team!

If I understand it correctly, that's the interesting thing about Expression Web Superpreview: rather than run or emulate other rendering engines, it sends a request for the page to some server, which then renders it on the target platform, and then sends an image of the output back. So in theory this could mean that you can tell exactly what your page would look like in Safari under OSX (including OSX's fonts and everything) without actually having to own a mac or runs OSX/Safari, because the server will render it on an OSX machine for you.

I know about the hardware power-on key... But isn't there a power-on on the keyboard itself? Since I'm not using an Apple KB, I have no idea where it is.

The comment about made in China refers to another comment where VB Man implied that Macs are better than PCs because PCs are made in Taiwan... Taiwan probably has a better environmental record than any mfgr in mainland China...

BTW, I ordered the cheapest Mac mini I could, which came w/ only 1 GB. Apple wanted $150 for the 4GB upgrade... I bought 4 GB for $65 instead from a 3rd party... Next project, opening up the Mac mini... haha!

You seemed to of missed the point. I am saying that acer, asus, msi, toshiba, sony, whatever other brand you prefer does not have near the quality of an Apple machine.

Congrats on your Mac!!!

Yup, think I've seen that one on iTunes. But I think this a different kettle of fish. For a start the existing clause you've listed doesn't mention the ninety day refund period whether it is fit for purpose or not. If the developers are just seeing the change now, I'm thinking that Apple could be holding off on the end user agreement until the iPhone OS update is released.

But if the developers think the change is coming and they're worried about it, then now is the time to kick up a fuss.

I 100% behind what Steve Balmer is saying. Apple offers an overpriced yuppie oriented product. Why pay 1000+ dollars for a Mac when you can get a PC/Phone for a 66% price difference?

Reasons I have seen:
-Users ego is through the glass ceiling. They like to have something over glammed.
-User has the money to burn.
-User has no technical background and just trying to keep up with the Jones.
-Mac has sold them a lifestyle not a realistic value.

Apple users are paying for an image and lifestyle not out of technical superiority or better underlying hardware.
No, you are only partially correct. People buy Macs because they like a good, solid product (ehem unibody). They also buy them because the software is much cheaper. iWork - $79. OS X Leopard - $129. iLife - comes with new Macs. Windows does not have a iLife competitor... unless you like SongSmith (LOL!). Macs have a 'unity' feature about them that they will always have because the product line is contained by Apple. You don't have hundreds of foreign markets making sh!tty hardware and then slapping on a low-grade OS that can run on all these different hardware configs.

If this Samsung application site was doing extremely well, you would be saying something along the lines of "z0mfGbbQZZZ Samsung 4PP St0r3 is Sehcund Cumming".

Btw, to the developers who work on this site... I'm surprised you all haven't gotten laid off yet. This is probably the most poorly engineered forum I have ever visited. You have to login thrice for it to keep your session. What a f*cking joke.

If that VB in your name is abbreviation for 'Visual Basic' then I think you're capable of doing it yourself - as you see, like Word, Excel too is scriptable with dialect of Basic called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). 

I probably could manage to write it, but I'm too lazy and I don't even have Office installed on this computer. (MSDNAA doesn't provide me with it so I'm on openoffice)
The point was to make it without using VBS for Office.... hence 'Excel Formula'.

Anyways, countif seems to have done the job I needed it to.
