John Gruber has a highly respected opinion blog called Daring Fireball. And he has this trademark sort of thing where he declares people who say stupid things as jackasses. Rob Enderle and John Dvorak has been honoured with the "jackass of the week" title a lot of times. It is not something offensive and he only awards this title when someone deserves it.shantanu_webmaster said:
Bill Gates, with his stupid lies in that interview, deserved a lot harsher criticism than he faced. And before you go declaring that a highly intellectual person like John Gruber is a jackass, you should look at where you stand before him. And that is nowhere.
Bill Gates is a respectable person and he is a role model for aspiring entrepreneurs all over the world. But that does not give him the right to say whatever he deems appropriate in a public interview.

Thread reported, Just like always you have nothing proper to post so you have started personal comments. About posts out of thin air....i would like to ask all forum members, who said these linesaryayush said:
arya said:
Why is it, that in every thread that you start, u get defeted & come to personal comments like calling the users of Other OS, Donkeys & horses. About evidence, well....I write only from what I know. Not from what other think....arya said:
Some more lame comments
a GUI is a GUI is a GUI. There are only a few methods to do some thing. Apple was an idiot to patent a GUI & sue MS for "Look & Feel". i mean comon, sometimes an idea is so simple that it comes to many people at once. Remember, 1994, stardock "Tab Launchpad" which gave steve jobs the idea of Docknepcker said:
About copy pasting other blogs or articles said by other people. Well....why don't you talk about your own experience just like I do.
100 take ki baat^^ arre shatanu unki jalti hai yaarjealousy
....Steve Jobs could have been the worlds richest man, but just due to his un-necessary arrogence he is not. Bill Gates on the other hand is straight forward & knows how to collaborate & run a bussiness.Rahne de yaar, I have told him many times to stick to what he has...& not to start posts like this in which he gets pwned himself & comes down to personal comments. Act mature arya, we all know how much "Mac genius" u r, sirf mac ke hi geius ho....aur kisi cheez ke nahi. You & nepcker litrally act like walking Apple Salesman or viral marketers. You 2 do deserve a job in Apple for best viral marketing.
Last time this happend, my old ID got banned due to arya, then my old ID got deleted due to andy

Through no fault of your own, I am sure.
Anyway, I just posted again to show you that we do indeed have screenshots of the Star UI and it is proof that Apple implemented a lot of their own technology into the basic concept taken from Xerox. A lot of Xerox engineers also joined Apple.
I did not expect you to pay attention to John Gruber's post and you didn't. You can tell others that I am wrong and maybe a few people will believe you but I am not sure you'll be very eager to challenge the likes of Gruber.
I hope this is my last post in this pointless thread. The first post and anandk's comments were not pointless, nor were they flamebait, but then you show up each time and spoil the party with posts that are best described as toxic waste. Thanks for ruining yet another thread!

Obviously, why should I challange him. I don't come in the catagory of blind followers who are loyal to one brand only.
Mark my words, you started this thread yourself, u made it a fight club yourself, & you will start another thread like this soon. Just follow what mav3, I & so many other users have been saying for once. Stop acting arrogent. Everyone who took part in this thread knows who started personal comments (again), who act like a fanboy & who mocks others & calls them donkeys when he has nothing proper to speak about.
Even I can copy paste many such articles, but if I was to follow each & every article blindly then there would be no difference between me & macboys. We PC users try to learn things, we do thing the way we want to....we don't do things the way a company wants us to with there hardware.
In the end, we come to conclusion that MS has nothing to fear from Apple so far. Apple is good, but not in a position to threaten MS, Linux infact is in such position due to it's openness (like it can install on same hardware config as windows & is free)

Bill Gates is the reason that you are sitting in your home, writing this post using a personal computer. If he wasn't here with Windows & Microsoft, Apple would have never made a switch to Intel & would be over over-charging for their products instead of over-charging. He made computing popular & easy enough for general public. Where was Apple before Windows 95? how much was it used? Before MacOX 10.0 & iPod who used Apple anyway in general homes & offices? I don't need to write a post of the sorry state of Macintosh System 7 & 9 again here.
Ya, true. We stand nowhere in front of John Grubber or Stave Jobs or Bill Gates, but do u or Steve Jobs or John grubber stand somewhere, in front of Bill Gates? He is the man who made computing such easy for everyone in this world. Microsoft makes standards out there whether it is an OS, a video format (.avi) or an image format (.tiff, .tga) or office documents (.doc, .ppt., .xls). They are the standard in computing & yeah, you can criticize MS for their mistakes or flaw, but calling them stupid & liar while calling Apple & Steve Jobs the messiah is indeed stupid.

Everyone flames Vista (and Microsoft in general) for being infested with DRM,while Apple infact is the biggest proponent of DRM (fairplay,anyone??).Also Apple has to code their software for a fixed set of around 20 hardware components,while Microsoft has to support a myriad number of hardware combinations,and they're doing a pretty decent job at it.So in the end it all boils down to personal choice.Use the OS that you are most adept in.There's no point in being a fanboy.

Saurav, I've deleted your clone IDs. Any attempt to create more will cause me to delete this one as well.
Both of you: You have been miserabled for a reason; you will repsect your ban period (2 weeks) and go get a life or something. Do NOT create duplicate IDs. You don't want to piss off two admins.

I dont understand. First, authorities here dont enlighten others with their knowledge on any subject. Then they don't even post any news stuff. Then they dont even take part in discussions. Then they say they dont have time to read long "rants". And then they take very harsh measures like banning,miserabling which is too easy for them. I dont understand why can't they just atleast give a warning or close the thread! I feel bad for gx n arya! 
I hope atleast constructive criticism is heard here!
