And you can only use Apple butter at $50 a jar.

Linux is anything but niche. It has far more applications than any other OS, it's in watches, servers, televisions, home desktops, business computers, etc. Just because the number of home users are small does not make it niche.
Man, you got beat by your own definition.

My point when I said all that was that Linux did not triumph as home desktops. And indeed, it did not (even if you include that on your post). Linux is not used by the common user for their everyday activity, because people simply want something they KNOW how to work with.

There are some other results if you google or bing "Linux Niche", but I guess that one was the one that only mattered for this point right here.
This was taken from Dictionary.com:
–noun
1. an ornamental recess in a wall or the like, usually semicircular in plan and arched, as for a statue or other decorative object.
2. a place or position suitable or appropriate for a person or thing: to find one's niche in the business world.
3. a distinct segment of a market.
4. Ecology . the position or function of an organism in a community of plants and animals.
–adjective
5. pertaining to or intended for a market niche; having specific appeal: niche advertising.
–verb (used with object)
6. to place (something) in a niche.
I'd suggest you double-checking what you say before calling me a liar or saying I lied. If you STILL don't believe me, then the link is http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/niche
Being "niche" does not mean it is small. It NORMALLY means that, but doesn't mean it. It means it's specific. If you check the posted definitions, you see on number 5 as "having a specific appeal".
I'd love to see some new hardware other than the iphone, but I have doubts as to whether WWDC will be the stage for it.

unless i'm mistaken I was always taught "AN" was used when the word following began in a vowel...so unless H is a vowel or different rules are used for acronyms I think I'll stand by what I said, but I'd be happy to be cleared up on the matter...love to learn new stuff

You don't seriously believe that Bell invented the telephone do you?
Just because he patented it in the US first...

Dell's burial was last week, so they need no further mention...now it's Google time![]()
Bottom line is: IT'S TIME TO RAZE THE GOOGLE BUILDING TO THE GROUND!
Fake "good", fake "innovation", fake "openness", fake "privacy"...they are almost getting to the point where MS looks better.
GOOGLE IS DEAD. AND I DON'T CARE.
Lol, over-react much?
You have to excuse BrLawyer. He has tourettes.
Anything that is not Apple is dead, despite the fact that the "dead" companies beat Apple in every measurable sales records, profit, market share, e.g.
I'm going to have to agree. WWDC is essentially a software event, although it makes sense due to the timing to debut the newest iPhone.
As for the wish list:
1- introduce new iphone with multiple american carriers models
This could be the time to do this.
2- introduce new apple tv, with actual app store and opened up abilities. ie able to do amazon vod, netflix vod, skype with video, ichat with video, oh yeah and games
Not likely at this event. App store and games would be great, but the latter would necessitate seriously beefed up hardware. Netflix would compete with iTunes, so it won't happen. I'd add, the ability to share your desktop wirelessly with the ATV, but that might have the above business model concerns unless limited. Open up the USB port to external hard drives.
3- Embrace Blu-ray tech
Ha!
4- new mac pro and monitors
Not at this event.
5- actual television with apple tv integrated. and camera.
Not at this event, and really tho?
I would have thought iPhone launch will get it's own event. Just because they will want a full press event not just tech press.
HOW THIS YEAR'S WWDC KEYNOTE WILL GO...
STEVE: "...I bring you the new iPhone."
Plays video of Jason Chen and that Vietnamese dude dissecting the iPhone...
STEVE: "Any questions? Thank you all for coming and the new iPhone will be out in two weeks."
STEVE: "Oh, and one more thing..."
