"Julien Blin, analyst for JBB Research, expects Apple to continue to
dominate the PC and smartphone market in terms of innovation. "The
only threat to Apple remains itself," Blin said in a recent analysis.
"In other words, if they play their cards right, nobody can stop them."

Is it even necessary to pick a type? When opening an existing
document, just open it, ignoring the file types entirely. The file
extension is supposed to tell the app what it is you're opening. I

Worse, this is not CIO magazine's own writers saying this, they
are quoting an analyst with Technology Business Research who
essentially is implying that "consumer confidence rebounded in the
second quarter, but only for Apple users". That is some "interesting"

Sure, it's possible.
MS has been taking a few pages out of Apple's playbook recently, all
to great tantrums
In the dialog box for opening a document in OpenOffice 3 [Vista], the
list of translators/converters isn't in alphabetical order. It's a long
list--takes a long time to find the right converter.
Can this list be put in alphabetical order?
