    This sucks, because I'm getting such a mixed signal. On the one hand, we have Apple actually giving a s*** about the concerns of the OSS community, and actually being a good corporate citizen, giving back to the community that has given freely to them.

    Then you have the other side - Apple's move to Intel pushed by the Pentium D chip and hardware based DRM - Apple getting in bed with Hollywood. You thought Paladium was gonna lock down systems? Sounds like Apple might win the hardware DRM race.

    So what is the final word on Apple? I've been contemplating the switch myself but am not really sure where Apple stands. Sue ThinkSecret, give back to KHtml. Sigh...
