Wallstreet Powerbooks were discontinued more than five years ago (Sept '98). If you can't read floppies, DVDs or VCDs in OS X, why did you stay with it for two years? Leave it at 8.6 or 9.
Why do you need Safari? It is by no means the only browser. Use Camino or IE or Netscape or Mozilla. I don't see the problem.
1. Web Objects This looks like your best example. I'm not familiar enough with WebObjects to know if there are significant "extentions" that interfere with porting Java server applications to other application servers.
2. Open Directory This looks like an Apple brand name slapped on their implementation of LDAP. That's not really the same thing as embrace and extend. Apple does it all the time, with ZeroConf and FireWire for example. Speaking of those two, they are good examples of created and adopted standards.
3. Article on Support for Web Standards Writing in HTML4.0.1 Transitional is hardly embracing & extending.

If you want a cheap iPod, just get one with some scratches.

Sounds like a troll to me.

No kidding. Give fermion some points. I was scanning for a post like this.

Apple uses IETF standards for iCal
WebDAV is used for iDisk. There were some security issues in 10.1, fixed in 10.2, not "extended".
There's a solid version of JRE 1.4.1 on every mac that downloaded it from Software update.
SSH, Kerberos, OpenGL, XML preferences, 802.11g in the new Airport base stations, etc.
"Apple is, and also have been, the least standards compliant computing platform of all desktop computers." - javelinco
Sounds like you're a bit off base.
I missed the part where you described how Apple embraced and extended.
i wish i had points to mod this up.

I like mine. Looks a little nicer than the cd case. Not as expensive as any of the other stands I've seen sold.
...but not as much motivation when the unreleased version is not installed on many machines.
It's not on the front page (unless you have your preferences set to display all Apple articles there).
