So Apple is going to start making macs in the US again. I guess they got sick of being slammed for slaveware

Shareware

Software downloaded from the internet, or transfered via CD/Floppy disk, that is one or more of the following.

a.) Works for a limited time, then requires payment
b.) Works for a limited time, then becomes Nagware
c.) Works forever, but has limited features from the full-blown version
d.) Works forever, but requests nicely that if you really do like it, it would be Politically Correct for you to purchase it

I downloaded this Shareware App off the 'Net, you can't export to format XYZ, but otherwise it is great.

slideware

A product or service (usually software based)that looks profoundly revolutionary, extraordinary or ground breaking, but only exists in the form of Power Point pictures. Pejorative term for the fake garbage used to solicit and obtain billions of VC money during The Bubble. Led to numerous heartbreaking all nighters by the poor fools that actually had to try to implement the half baked flakey promoters' con artist Vision.

The electric dog polisher could have changed the world according the the slideware, but none of the code or design ever really existed. The promoter walked off with millions in golden parachute money

slaveway

The "Employee Term" for Safeway. Created because the employees are overworked, and generally treated like crap by the (aimlessly wandering) managers, and by the snotty customers that seem to accumulate in the stores.

Slaveway is second to Hell
