We would be happy to accept Apple's check to license our useless (to Apple) tech. But we all know that won't happen because Apple is all about keeping people as locked into Quicktime's own codecs as possible.
Locked into QuickTime's codecs? Which would those be? One of the codecs on this page?
Nowhere near "all of our troops" are in Iraq. We've got about 125,000 troops in Iraq. That includes Army, Marines, Air Force, Navy, and significant numbers of National Guard troops.
I guess he should have been more specific: "mobile fighting forces" as opposed to "relatively immobile copier repairmen forces" or "stuck in Blenheim forces" or "just finishing up the CheckPoint Charlie cleanup forces" or the "just trying to get the South Koreans to quit the non-stop screaming forces" or the "testifying in Congress that there will be WMD forces."
1.6 million doesn't go as far as it used to.
Really. Did you think Rumsfeld was calling up the IRR because he thought it would keep them on their toes?
I've already noticed comments anti-bush being modded up and comments that are anti-moore being modded down. The bias here is getting pretty bad I think.

I get it now. Moderating opinions has some yardstick somewhere. Can you tell me where that yardstick is?
There are many ways to measure market share, including the cumulative installed base, the total number of active users, the number of companies using each product, or customer spend.
That's not how it's calculated in the computer business.
You can narrow it down to something like "consumer purchases" and include installed base, but for macs and PCs, you still come out somewhere around 3-5%.
I use a mac, and I don't think marketshare means as much as many think it does, particularly with the move to open protocols/tools/etc.
I would hope folks here would argue that software idealism, in the long run, trumps short term (maybe even long term) capital return strategies.
Apple has five billion cash/short term investments in the bank, and growing. That's a nice chunk of any company, much less a profitable one.
Apple, particularly since the iPod has taken off, is in a very comfortable position to wait out the proprietary format shakeout.
Apple makes the the most flexible, killer GUI, tools, and data presentation elements that are hard to come by in even the most focussed groups. I think they, of all companies, can afford to ride out (but likely steer) any computing "paradigm shifts" for the foreseeable future.
Breakthrough in hardware design (e.g. cheap terabyte flash drives)? bam. They can change the entire mac lineup if they want.
Elegant free-as-in-speech office suite solution adoption rising? whoosh. Here's the qt/swing/cocoa version.
Is anyone else in that sort of leveraged position?
Apple is poised. We just don't know what the precipice is. Yet.

So there's the hordes at/. that think the recording industry is the whore of Babylon and Apple needs to support vorbis, but dammit, give us our Clear Channel!
I see. Well, we all need our daily dose of Britney and Limbaugh, I guess.
Right. Note that ZeroConf is the brainchild of Stuart Cheshire, and he works for Apple, so Rendezvous isn't some hobbled, second-hand implementation of ZeroConf, but from the horse's mouth.
The initial seeds of Zeroconf started in a Macintosh network programmers' mailing list called net-thinkers, back in 1997 when I was still a PhD student at Stanford. We were discussing the poor state of ease-of-use for IP networking, particularly the lack of any equivalent to the old AppleTalk Chooser for browsing for services. I proposed that part of the solution might be simply to layer the existing AppleTalk Name Binding Protocol (NBP) over UDP Multicast.
Presenting facts objectively without editorializing or inserting fictional matter, as in a book or film.
I'm not sure where you got this definition (oh, the dictionary. I see), but you left out one of the definitions:
n. pl. documentaries A work, such as a film or television program, presenting political, social, or historical subject matter in a factual and informative manner and often consisting of actual news films or interviews accompanied by narration.
Here is a discussion about what film people consider a documentary, rather than us couch potatoes (hint - it's not as simple as you state):

I bought one of the flat panel iMacs the moment it was announced, about 2.5 years ago, and it still works great.
I would hope so. Hell, my son is still using the Rev. B bondi blue iMac we got in late 1998. It's running Panther 10.3.4, and chugs right along with uptimes in months (when was the last software update that required a restart? I can't remember, but that was the last time).
Mostly for browsing and IM, but hey, apparently kids don't talk on the phone anymore these days.

This looks like a greater commitment to open source than just sticking QuickTime on Linux.
Streaming Server
GCC
Kerberos
Open Directory
OpenPlay
CUPS
Rendezvous (ZeroConf)
WebCore (KHTML)
X11
A/G BLAST
HeaderDoc (like JavaDoc)
Silent 700 terminal, built-in acoustic coupler modem
Odd name for it, then.
There's a nice little program called Move2Mac by detto that makes things pretty easy to migrate.
Screenshots here...
and here.
I have 25GB on my 4G Ipod...
Damn! Now *that's* a codec!
Notice how they advertised infinite loops as a feature. Seems like they're copying Microsoft advert strategies now...
Or likely playing off of Apple's Cupertino address, 1 Infinite Loop.

QuickTime is a container, and even does vorbis with the appropriate component.
You can complain about DRM'ed AAC if you want, but don't get that mixed up with QuickTime.

As for the expanding cooling gel, if anyone could get the average consumer to purchase something with "dehydrated water" it would be Apple.

You know market share isn't the same thing as percentage of units sold, right?
Umm, for any particular timeslice, yes it is. What do *you* think marketshare means?

Yup, just after the Civil Liberties Implementation Team.
I hear all the participants of that team just got back from the Federal Usability Conference on "K-desktop and YOU!"

Note that this technology is NOT Apple's. It's the result of the ZerConf Group.
