Jobs' innovation was trying to keep things as simple as possible. Go read up on the dev meetings regarding the Itunes Burn Cd functionality and how Steve came in and simplified the whole thing. Steve was a master at KISS.
Steve Jobs ACTIVELY screwed him on a business deal in the VERY early days of Apple. Jobs said they got paid X for a job they were to split the fee on, but really they got X + Y. Steve kept his half of X and all of Y.
The point is its NOT that 'out of the ordinary'. People get radiation treatment EVERY SINGLE DAY. What is out of ordinary is beat cops carrying radiation detectors.
So we should simply allow police to ignore civil liberties and be able to pull over anyone who has had detectable radiation therapy? Everyone is up in arms because its radiation, when the true danger of being blown up is infinitesimally small. It if FAR FAR FAR more likely they are going to detect patients rather then terrorists and the gains do not outweigh the loss of liberty. Id rather lose an entire American city then subject our citizenry to tyranny.
This entire argument is clouded by 'radiation'. SO many of you are talking the 'all radiation is bad therefore any detectable radiation must be investigated' tack.
You forget the burden of not being able to design systems that do not include their technology. If I want to design a completely secure and anonymous system, i cant because the FBI wants to be able to see everything. The idea that every communication avenue MUST be able to be wiretapped is abhorrent in the extreme.
Its not reasonable. Private enterprise should not have to bear the burden of doing law enforcement's job. We should not be telling people how to build systems so that the FBI can track it easier, that is an undue burden from the state. This is a situation that the FBI cant win unless they rig the game and suspend a lot of civil liberties. The end game here is full panopticon and then everyone encrypting everything. Anyone skilled in modern communication systems can craft messages that would be IMPOSSIBLE to detect because the noise-to-signal ratio is astronomically high, hardware is dirt cheap, and anonymous access points are easily available.
They want this to spy on everyone and not be bothered with things like civil liberties.
Because my fellow man (which is what government in the US is supposed to be, the whole 'we the people' thing) spying on me willy-nilly using Monopoly on Violence is not the same thing at ALL as the shopkeeper next door keeping records of what i buy to use in his marketing and optimization research.
A corporation is not a government. Google does not wield the power of life and death over its users. See the difference? I can choose to not participate in the google universe, i cannot choose to exclude myself from the government's control.
The 24 hour news cycle did not create the machinations we now see exposed. They have always been there, it only seems magnified because we see more now. The FBI has ALWAYS spied on us extra-judiciously. From day one it was built, its purpose is to catalog and amass information about the american citizenry. Just read the first 2 paragraphs of J. Edgar Hoover's wiki if you have any doubt at all.

Further, highways are important national infrastructure, beyond YOUR personal use, bu alsot necessary for the functioning of the nation. So yes its fair for someone who walks everyone to pay the same amount of income tax on highway funding as the person who owns 3 cars ( who can only drive one at a time mind you)
"Can we stick to the point? If Microsoft were to do the exact same thing as Apple are doing in this case, would you approve or complain?"
I reject the question outright. They are not the same and shall not be judged the same. Just because you feel like they have paid their penance doesnt mean that we dont STILL feel the effects of those crimes today. What they got was a slap on the wrist because at the end of the day Windows 'worked' for everyone and the DOJ was afraid of killing the golden goose. We judge them differently TODAY because of their quite egregious past that we have to live with in the PRESENT.
storage: Add more to the SAN, standard networking/deduplication applies.
access: this is a network/auth issue, irrelevant
indexing: what would email researchers do here that DB guys dont?
delivery:...
scaling: You arent going to get useful scaling data from running a Uni email system in the 21st century
privacy: some research could be done here, ill concede this one
interface : agreed, doesnt mean the Uni system has to run off it to develop an interface.
Everything you mentioned is polish to an already well established system of communication. It functions NOW at EXTREMELY low cost per user, is ubiquitous and doesnt need a whole lot added to it that requires the setup you think it should.
No I didnt, i jsut wanted to make it a bit absurd to bring out the nitpickers. Email storage is RETARDEDLY CHEAP considering the payload, dont skimp on it. Thats doesnt mean let the users abuse it, it means let the system evolve as things/costs change.
No one is going to deploy a virtual hackintosh in a production environment. Unless the bare metal is a mac, you are in violation of the mac EULA. See Psystar v. Apple.
Why are you watching video in a virtual environment? Also, VMs are more then jsut another 'machine'. Its a machine with some very unique and useful properties above and beyond what a bare metal machine is. Running one ALL the time is not the same thing as running a bare metal machine. You can replace a Windows machine with a Mac, but the reverse cannot be said(legally).

Jobs was OUSTED, he didnt leave.

I was with you right up until you got to 'all they think about is marketing and design to the detriment of engineering.'
And why shouldnt they? These children are attempting to wield political force. If they want to play the game, they better learn the rules fast.
Genocide is an OVERT act, by determined humans. Dont dilute its meaning by using it to shore up your pathetic argument.

What a lovely straw man you have there.

Its good news to hear that the cops have radiation detectors in their cruisers? What a colossal waste of money.

Isnt the majority of highway funding paid out of gasoline tax?
