Well Apple's own file system involves a weird double data setup thing with basically two files embedded under one heading, but even in those cases it still shows up as one file under Windows (one unreadable file in most cases due to the nature of how the file is set up).
Then there's the iPhone, an item with a neat touch screen and nothing else going for it. I heard it had a whole OS put in there, which is nice, except you can't really use it because Apple doesn't let people download custom apps onto it. The "solution" Apple came up with, and actually ADVERTISED, was using "net apps". Great, so I can play flash games and use google maps. Nice job Jobs! I will say this though. Apple does user interface right, so if anything it'll force all the other phone companies to finally put together a USABLE user interface.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
