Negative opinion with puns on Apple Computer's filing a patent on a type of solar cellls for portable devices. (They don't want to share.)

Being one who runs three apples and two PCs I have to ask you... does Microsoft share it's technology freely? and if it did... would anyone want it?... Vista is still a dumpy system and Apple's newest OS is running great on my machines... maybe Pc manufacturers should seriously find an OS that works... maybe a Green one.... or just buy an apple then you can be green too.

I am far from a Microsoft shipper (although I use PCs, yes, Dell actually, and I do promote their products because I'm very familiar) and I'm not a Mac basher at all (- I just didn't want to get used to a new OS, so I don't have a Mac). I hate businesses/buesinESS pretty much in general, actually (and I do run my own indie businesses :-)). Also, I ordered XP with my new laptop ... I don't think anyone is going to defend Vista.. But why does an anti-Apple post mean pro-Microsoft to people? It shouldn't. My post was HIGHLY, loftily IDEALISTITC and against business in general. Really what company today would do what is best here? I do use some Apple products, like the iPod and iTunes... just take this for a pro-green post. :-)

By the way, I encourage you to add your argument(s) to the actual blog if you'd like! Thanks. :-)

(And thanks to those who voted!)

well it wasn't that I meant you to be pro ms it was just a choice to demonstrate the fact of the matter... I agree with you that anything benefiting environment should be shared but you know that competition will never allow it... unless Mr Jobs manages to get earth conscious. Congrats on your businesses.
