Comments on: The company DB9 http://cogscanthink.blogsome.com/2007/09/25/the-company-db9/ I'm a mere, tiny, insignificant cog in a whole clockwork of stupidity. I'm the tiny cog that wants to break free. Seriously.

They can't keep supporting the G4s forever, and with their Intel move, they really need to take steps to reduce their testing matrix to G5s and Cores. No one likes upgrading perfectly working hardware, but sometimes you just have to do it. I think it’s perfectly fair for apple to declare your hardware to be legacy.

Something about the "coolness" factor of Apple seems to almost give them a blank check in the monopoly business. I have a 2G Nano - I got it in February. Now that the 3G Nano has come out, my device basically doesn't exist anymore at Apple. It is not listed, supported - it is as if it never existed. I guess I am supposed to go out now and get a new Nano. I wish I could afford that (they are "cool"), but it gets old. To be honest, until Vista, I always thought Microsoft did a pretty good job of supporting older hardware. Vista really torched that. DirectX 10 - err - 10.1 also did the same for gamers. They were supposed to go out and buy DirectX 10 compatible cards (if they could find one), and now they are supposed to do it all over again! Is there an end to this upgrade madness??
