Superiority of Apple

If we are generalizing I can bitch about Apple arbitrarily changing the scroll direction in Lion (I understand the justification, but like in Win8 it makes sense on a tablet but not if you are using a mouse).

You know that’s a settable preference, don’t you?

Yeah, but it’s on by default and anyway a very minor annoyance. But some people don’t like it. The analogy is to Windows 8, if that’s what the quoted was complaining about. Apple/Microsoft made a change because we’re in the age of tablets and phones, but for many users the changes are unnecessary and obnoxious.

A MacBook Air with 8GB of RAM can run Windows using Parallels just fine.

For example.

Thanks beowulff! Lotza ram, yes?

I’m sure the “real” story of Intel forcing Apple to use their chips is great, go ahead and tell me.
