. . . get a load of this exchange from over a year ago:

"Mac OS X will only run on Macs"

"That'll be hacked about five minutes out of the gate."

That is more mis-quotation and taken out of context.

Anyone reading your comment, structured the way you have, would make the assumption that Antirepublicrat said both of those things.

The first comment, "Mac OS X will only run on Macs," was a statement in the article from an official Apple Computer spokesman. The second was Antirepublicrat's response to that statement. It was a statement of his opinion ... which proved to be somewhat true as hackers did indeed get a version of OS X running on PCs several weeks later. Only his predicted timing was off. Are you arguing that his prediction is a "lie" or are you taking the position that his opinion of what would happen is somehow a "support" of hackers breaking Apple's protections???

Why are you so obsessed with this?

Obsessed? LOL he continues to lie in defense of illegal hacking of OSX and laughably attempt to claim he actually supports Apple's copyright, while I'm simply showing the record clearly shows otherwise. Why are you even defending him? Do you support the illegal hacking of OSX, and his lies he admits he made for months in defense of the Russian hackers?
