Apple has hardware DRM. Its "yours" but you can't do what you want with apple things. Just like, you have a cam in your iphone, but i can deny you from using it with my awesome powers.

Well, I fully expect Apple to release new iMacs with touchscreens soon. PC users will be like "*YAWN* We've had those for years, they suck." but the Apple fanboys/girls will be "OMGWTFBBQ! This is like the greatest thing since sliced sex!"

They won't do it. They need to to be the same for all machines so they can write firmware updates.

Seriously though, Apple could make a killing off of a Mac security/malware program. It would cost $100 and not do anything

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg7Xh0m_Oco

They Lock Up n Crash Hard, Had a G3 Monitor Unit that couldnt get the driver for the CD drive without updating the firmware of the OS n then requires original OS disk to update the OS firmeware. WTF!

Macntrash can burn, even Ipod,IPhone,IPad are all susceptable to problems like MACs

Seriously? If you want to go Mac, you basically sign over your PC soul. You get some extra stability, but lose all customization and half of the advanced features. Apple believes they are coding gods, and a walled garden development system makes them absolutely impervious. I hate to break it to them, but DRM functions exactly like they do. It lasts about a week before it's broken, and Apple doesn't push out new patches constantly.

I guess blinding yourself, drinking paint thinner, and poking out your eardrums will make you unaware of the stupid going on around you. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop your peers from pulling out a baseball bat and breaking your knees. At least the day is coming when PCs are as UI friendly as a Mac. On that day, there will finally be a piper to pay...
i was only barely paying attention to this post then i got to this and thought it was a really cool line. I still didnt manage to read the rest but i wanted to give you a thumbs up.

Well, the point of security (or lack of it) is the point of discussion here. The chastity belt has been used in the past as a means of protection AFAIK (against sexual assault, hence the iron "teeth").
