Jul 27th 2009 9:54PM Well, unlike you, there are actually many of us that don't carry our phones with us 24/7. I live in a two-story house with a basement. I currently have a multi-handset phone system with a total of 4 handsets. This allows me to answer the phone in almost any area of the house without having to race downstairs to my office to grab my phone, which is exactly what I have to do when my cell phone rings. This phone looks like the perfect solution. Depending on user reviews (of which the early ones are positive), I'll pick this up when it becomes more widely available..

It's like screaming "I'M A TROLL, I'M A TROLL." You really need to get a new hobby because you're just not very good at this one.

What are you talking about? First off, let me quote from http://www.Linux.org..."Linux is a free Unix-type operating system originally created by Linus Torvalds with the assistance of developers around the world." So I'm a bit lost when you state that Linux is not an OS. As for Gentoo, what has it got to do with anything? Maybe you just sneezed while typing and made a mistake? Whatever the case, so what? The market is what it is and whether you like it or not, Linux is at the bottom.
As for your 20% statistic, if you read the story it states that Apple had 20% of the retail laptop market in July and August of last year only in the US. The last I checked laptops were only a part of the total market and the US was only a part of the world economy and July and August are only a part of the total year. Apple sales ARE increasing, which is a good thing. Competition is a good thing and can only help make both Windows and OSX better products. This is proven true by the upcoming release of Windows 7. From all accounts this latest Windows release is an awesome OS.

Why do things always have to be so black and white? First off, I'm not quite sure where you get your 20% number because as of November of 2008 Windows held 89.62% of the market. Mac had 8.87% and Linux had a whopping 0.83%. That being said, I hardly think everyone that buys a Mac (or a Windows machine) is condemning the other operating systems. If I buy a chocolate cake it doesn't mean that I hate vanilla, it simply means that I like chocolate more. It just so happens that I started out on a Windows (actually DOS) machine and I like the degree of customizing that Windows allows me. I can build my own machines and customize them to my delight.
I have nothing against Macs and I could care less what system other people choose to use. I admire Apple and their elegant designs but I hate their "it's our way or the highway" mentality. I do think they are drastically overpriced as well. That being the case, I'd still love to have a Macbook to sit next to my Windows machines but money, like many things, is finite. As for Linux, get real. The average computer user (Mac or Windows) can hardly figure out how to get a picture onto their machine let alone how to use an operating system like Linux. Linux will forever remain a hobbyist's OS, like it or not.
