Well I'm only a sophomore in high school.
And he made me feel stupid by "proving me wrong."
When thanks to this thread, I now know he's wrong.

Who are you calling me a retard?!
Me or my teacher?
Your teacher!
Unless you thought that Microsoft owned 51% of as well...
People like you scare me a little.
well, in his defense he is probably like 12. he's just pumped right now, weren't you once?
Don't ever anger or humiliate your teacher. VERY BAD IDEA--ESPECIALLY IN COLLEGE.
Heh. I did this once. I had a prof in my computer systems class in second-year engineering. He made some comment, I don't even remember what it was anymore -- something about math coprocessors on Intel 80486 chips or something. Whatever it was, it was wrong, and I called him on it. He made some wisecrack that shut me down in front of the whole class (of like 200 people). But I persisted, looked it up when I got home, and emailed him a link. The next day he apologized to me in front of the whole class.
He turned out to be one of my favourite profs!
So today I was arguing with my new computer teacher about Apple and Microsoft and he said that Microsoft owns 51% of Apple!!!!11!!!!!!!1!!!!!1!!1
Is that true?
Good link to have.
Your teach's a weirdo!
First a paper on "Which is better: Apple or Msft"

Now this!!!
lol yea never a good feeling. kinda off topic but i always find it amusing that we have scientists today, esp the theoretical ones, who believe in there theory with all their might and dedicate their life to proving that theory........only to see a scientific paradigm shift. think how depressing that would be
Well if that's the case...
*Ahem*
Your teacher is an ignorant fool who has no place teaching computers to senior citizens let alone the future generations of computer users who in about 6 months time will know more than him anyway.
If he's so ignorant to be stating blatant lies rather than saying "I don't know, let me look into it" then he should not be in a position of trust.
What a joke. He probably thinks the world is flat, dinosaurs are a plot by the devil and the earth is 6000 years old.
To be sprouting such nonsense in a school environment is ridiculous. Research and have the correct information at hand before you make a statement.
I guess his idea of teaching is to listen to stuff his mates have said and repeat it back to the class. If that's how people are taught over there then I submit the following into the curriculum: Johnno, my mate, did enthusiastically take part in intercourse with 6 internationally renowned supermodels. I believe this because he told me and because he told me it must be true. If this statement is true then it can be taught in schools.
Dang... freakout anyone?? This one only gets 3.5/5, Ive heard better from you lol
I'm kinda obsessed.
He actually used to work for Apple. XD
I don't believe that he could have worked for Apple, and thought Microsoft was better.
... and he said that Microsoft owns 51% of Apple.
Is that true?
Uh, no. What he MEANT was that 51% of Microsoft employees own an Apple.
The biggest shareholder in Apple is actually Barclays Global Investors UK Holdings Ltd who hold 36,260,761 shares which is around 4%. The biggest direct shareholder is Steve Jobs with 5,546,451 shares.
ugh who really cares. being misinformed about apple isnt a huge deal. i often wonder how these convos get started in the first place.
