    I can't help but share the thought that with Al Gore on the Apple board, we can look forward to an announcement that Apple "Invented Open Source" at the upcoming WWDC.

    Sigh...

    Gore never said he invented the internet. He said he took steps that were intrumental and/or important in its creation when he was in senate. MEANING. He supported its creation. He didn't invent it. He didn't come up with the idea. He heard about it, thought it was a good idea, supported it, and hey look! You fucking use it, and I bet 90% or more of the people you know use it or have used it at one time. So what you really mean to say is. YOu look forward to an announcement that Apple is going to increase and/or continue its support of OSS, because it thinks its a great idea. Now which one of those do you think is more likely? Yeah, that's what I thought. It's not what you know, it's who you know. This is something everyone over the age of 20 should understand. Knowing people = connection = good thing. Al Gore was the VP of the United States of America. Although our current leader is no genius, I'd argue that Gore is an intelligent guy. This Al created the internet shit is no longer amuzing. One week, maybe two. Heard of beating a dead horse? YOU ARE RAPING A DEAD HORSE. hehe.
