My friend does the same thing when she's talking to me. She'll be in a store checking out or going through a fast food drive thru and wants me to hold until she is done. I've hung up on her because it's just rude. Then she'll call me back 15 - 20 minutes later and ask me why I hung up. I always tell her I had to go to the bathroom and I couldn't wait. Saves me from getting into an argument.
Pet peeve, right there!!!!!:evil:

I've found astrological signs to be pretty accurate. My brother and 2 other guys I know are scorpios and they fit it to a T. Every person I know is exactly how the astrological chart describes them. (including my exes)


Did you know that when they came up with the astrological signs it was so long ago and the stars and Planets are all moving that if you go to a planetarium you will see that they are all off by around 30 days.

So in other words, depending on what day of the month you was born, Your probably the Astrological sign for the next month.

Don't have to beleive me just go to a Planetarium and it will show you the stars alignment for that day that you were born.

Reason they don't change it cause people make alot of money off of horoscopes and fortune telling, that it might hurt thier business that for the last 100 years or so they been off by 30 days :facepalm:

PS. Read your Horoscope then read the next months Horoscope, normally they are some what close, They do that for a reason :)

Your REAL zodiac sign

I believe you. I remember hearing something about that before. I don't like Plane'ariums though.

I don't think I have Apple products because everyone else has it and I don't want to be a follower............Then again, I don't do a lot of things because others do.

I'm a loner Dottie, a Rebel

I have PCs because it's what I'm used to. To me it seems that Apples are more for the average consumer... People that have limited knowledge of computers/applications. (that's just been my experience anyway)

I'm with RebelGolfer on this one.

I'd agree that Apple consumer electronics running iOS are targeted for average consumers. The entire 'App' framework was built to abstract the user from the operating system. It's easy to use but you don't get a command line, access to the file system etc. You could also argue that it makes the device more secure and reliable that way, but it is what it is...iOS is not for mobile 'power' users.

OSX is a completely different story. It's based on FreeBSD, an open source unix server platform. Most of the developers I know prefer using OSX over windows because not only can you develop your code, you can also develop your supporting shell scripts, crontabs etc. right on the workstation. It's a one stop shop. Many high end workstations creating Hollywood special effects are Mac Workstations, and Mac has always been the preferred platform for graphical editing and professional desktop publishing.

I went Mac largely after the Microsoft debacle that was Windows Vista (the worst memory hog of an operating system ever created). Microsoft almost won me back with Windows 7, which is still and excellent OS. Then they released Win 8 with the metro interface to give the common look and feel across platforms (and I don't own a surface tablet or windows phone...so I don't care). That's where both companies are going though...they want a common OS across all their products so you can have the same user 'experience' regardless of what device you're on, so you either mix and match (which is fine, you just lose out on some cross-platform functionality) or you go all-in. I went all Apple because of Mac OSX and haven't seen anything compelling enough from the competitors to switch just yet.

I just hope someone starts innovating. I don't have much hope with Tim Cook @ Apple, he's a device guy and not the computing visionary Jobs was...Satya Nedella may just turn MS around, but it will be at least 2 years before we really see the effect of his leadership. Google will continue to push them both but I have a hard time understanding what that company's long term vision is, lately the only real hype has been around their driverless car (haven't even heard anything on the Google glasses lately).

/Tech rant :evil:

I have a Macbook for no other reason than it was white oh & also I was tired of windows.
