[ale] OT: Apple developer agreement makes Microsoft look modest

[Jim Kinney]

Hate is such a _strong_ word. I experience an uncontrollable urge to
participate in projectile vomiting is a better term to describe my feelings.

OK. That and a fair amount of smugness as I hear of the problems daily M$
lusers have. The Mac fanboys do provide a comedic background to the M$ luser
whining. As they swoon like teenage girls in the presence of their hearthrob
crush idol of the moment, the mindless drone chant in unison "Yes, Steve.
I'll buy an iPad too even though I can't ever tether it to my iPhone."
