You likely don't understand this, but just because some
anonymous poster on Usenet doesn't post a refutation of your
claim does not make your point(s) valid, or proven. It merely
means that nobody bothered to refute them. If you want to prove
them, then do so.

So your family could only afford a cheap clone of an Apple.

You're an idiot that doesn't understand computing quality.

You're very, very confused about basic mathematics.

What, specifically, are you referring to. What "quality" does a
product that has been on the market for a relatively short time
demonstrate first of all, and assuming that it /did/, what can
it "do" that is a feature provided by all this amazing quality?

Do they? You can have a GPS-based system with accuracy down to
a few feet anywhere on the globe, or you can have Skyhook, with
lower accuracy almost everywhere, and only even a close accuracy
level in very densely populated areas with lots of cell towers.

What it has effectively done is lower the bar back down for
positional information to lower levels than before Selective
Availability became a non-issue for GPS users.

You are not expected to comprehend this.

actually they have not. Apple has a patent on the technology, so no
other computer vendor can light each "key". much less use light sensors
to do so. that's owned by apple for many years to come.

you are talking about lighting underneath the keyboard, like a punked
car in a redneck side of town, that's not even close to what apple is
doing. apple is lighting the "keys"... wow!

I wonder how Logitech gets away with doing it on their
keyboards? Do they pay Apple a fee for it? Were you even aware
that it was available elsewhere?

> you are talking about lighting underneath the keyboard, like a punked

Perhaps he is, but I'm not. Go check out a logitech G15
keyboard. I bought one without even realizing it had the keys
lit like that, because I wanted all the macro programming extra
keys for another system (not a Mac btw). The lights were an
unexpected "Feature" when it arrived. I couldn't care less.
They seem pointless.

Wrong. You could boot off a remote system with no internal
hard drive even, much less a CD-ROM or floppy /ages/ ago.
Graphical X terminals could do in the early 90s, perhaps
earlier. bootp, PXE, etc. all predate it. They didn't have a
bunch of hype and HD H.264 video demos to explain them to the
likes of you, but it's not exactly new. You've been able to
share a CD-ROM or DVD over the network to remote systems for a
long time as well. You can put a DVD-image on a PXE server and
boot a so-called "thin-client" off of it, and you could do so in
1999.

Apparently, you are completely clueless, but you've been
clueless for a long time.

What kludges? You put a device with a CIFS share on the network and any
Windows or Linux machine can happily and easily connect to it. This is
nothing new. This is 1994 era stuff.

why have to use a CIFS share?

a massive kludge

Apple was the fist to it correctly, admit it.

Really??
Funny that Hughes Aircraft has had this kind of technology way back in
the 60s.

You are so full of it. Microsoft has a motion sensor on it's desktop

The correct spelling is "its."

The statement directly above is a totally different claim than the original.
The asterisks surround the original assertions.
There are two:
1. The MacBook Air is the thinnest laptop in the world.
2. The MacBook Air is the most powerful laptop in the world.

Now, #1 is almost certainly true. # 2 is certainly NOT true.
Perhaps you meant to say that the MacBook Air it the most powerful
laptop in the world FOR ITS SIZE. Since it's the thinnest, that IS true
but that's not what was originally claimed.

The last resort of people who have lost the debate: Spelling flames

In short: OxRetard, that typical Mac user in his total idiocy, claimed
bullshit. He got corrected. And another typical Mac user does a spelling
flame. How incredibly lame

Even? Yes, of course you can do that -- but only on a machine that is
already running an OS. See the difference?
And yes, you can netboot on other systems, even wirelessly, but that
isn't the benefit, either. The point was the simple tool Apple is
providing to make it happen.

It wasn't something as insanely obvious and normal as sharing a network
drive.

You might be more careful about your claims.
What you claimed above can be read as one claim or three separate
claims.

Thinnest/most powerful/for years to come
or
Thinnest laptop, most powerful laptop, one of those for years to come.

See? It can be properly read as claiming MBA is the most powerful
laptop ever, and will be for years. Obviously, it is not.
