Has anyone tried using audio applications not yet designed to run on OS X, like Logic and Pro Tools? Is the Classic environment sufficient to run them?
I'm a fan of OS X for the most part, especially if the speed issues are being removed, but have an investment in software that may be problematic on the new OS.

Fair use, it seems, is waning as an attribute that the corporate copyright-holders are willing to consider worthy of protection. Who controls the gate? Those with the most money.
If you, a consumer, have an issue with your licensed (not purchased) product, you should be able to access a copy of that item at substantially-reduced cost if you can prove that a) you purchased one previously; and b) the one you purchased is defunct. Fat chance of this happening, either.
Yes, shoot those who look like they *might* consider stealing, even if they're only there for a Squishy. If this whole battle goes poorly, and enough of the top part of the curve gets annoyed, those with the largest monetary stake will see it erode even more. Not the creator, but the ones who hold the distribution rights.
If you aren't willing to write to your Representative, though, then you deserve the future we could get. This is a participatory government, theoretically built upon the will of the people. Be thoughtful, considerate, and polite, but definitely be clear what you expect out of this whole mess.
The most likely reason for this is, at least so far, the difference in format between books and digital discs of any kind. It's very easy and direct to examine the structure of a disc, but until books become digital as well this won't be as simple.
Books In Print is a great resource, if you have access to it. Amazon works well as a poor man's version.
If you accept the idea that to be successful in the long term a company must appeal to the least common denominator, then Katz is correct. I don't believe that's Jobs' driving force, nor should it be.
Walmart doesn't support particle physics research, arts funding, or medical imaging. These things are important as well, to the average consumer in Cow Tracks, North Dakota, although not directly.
Apple is fairly close to where it should be - on the leading edge of the curve, far enough up to influence a couple generations of creative, curious people.
There are very good reasons that the same message is being repeated, and the foremost is this: too many people who assemble Websites still don't have enough respect for the user of that site to design it with them in mind.
Music is similar in a great many ways to visual computer interfaces. The key is to say what you need to say with the fewest notes possible. Too many and you dilute your message, too few and it's incomplete.
