Naw, you're not a fanboi.

You just had to come and shit all over Microsoft and make the same point that you already made up thread because uhhh, you call it like you see it...right?

Bullshit. More like you can't deal with opinions that don't match your own, especially when it comes to Microsoft and Apple. You're nothing more than an pro-Apple, anti-Microsoft fanboi.

The original title to this article is completely accurate: "There's a lot of vulnerable OS X applications out there."

I bet if this were a Microsoft story, it would have been left alone.

iOS and OS X were the first things that came to my mind.

There are actually multiple lap modes that both work great.

1) Like a regular laptop.

2) Fold the keyboard back and open the stand so it makes a right angle. Place the right angle so that the keyboard is parallel with your stomach and the Surface is perpendicular. Now the Surface is floating above your lap near the bottom of your chest where it's easy to read and write on.

3) Completely remove the keyboard.

I feel sorry for people who are using products from Apple's sterile and completely un-innovative product lines that are all moving closer and closer to the locked-down anti-consumer, anti-developer iOS business model.

Good. One less locked-down, anti-competitive player to deal with.

I'm sticking with Android for now since it offends me the least and I'll never, ever, ever use iOS (ever) since Apple is such an asshole to their customers and developers that I hate them with a passion. As a matter of fact, I hope Apple spends and loses all of their money on their car project. (Fingers crossed!)

Give me a phone where I have complete control please and stop trying to "protect" me. Until that time comes, I'll continue using only the most basic features of my so-called "smart" phone.

Visual Studio with Node.js tools is better than WebStorm.

It has everything WebStorm does plus better "dumb autocomplete" like Emacs and it's free.

Anyone can get a free 180 day trial of any version of Windows. Just do a fresh install twice a year in a VM, no big deal :)

The person you were replying to did emphasized "wants to" vs "have to" though - so I think they were trying to insert the point about means vs ends. Anyway, whoever was trying to make that point - I think it's been made (however painfully).

I think you missed the point of the post you're replying to. What's the reason that you feel that you want to understand the "real technologies" that run the web? So that you can build better apps with those technologies, right?

So, what you really want to do is just build some apps, not learn CSS. See the difference?

There's a shortage of all kinds of apps. You can't even get Chrome with actual extensions on iOS.

That's why I like my Windows tablets...I get to decide what runs on my device, not Apple.

Sorry to disappoint you but I am my IT department and I'm not having any issues...and neither are the IT departments from several companies that I work with.

And as a steady reader of that sub and of the Microsoft multi-sub, I heartily disagree with your observation. Both Win7 and Win8 had loads of "horror stories", just like WinXP before it. People are pretty much going to complain about any new Windows version.
