OK, first of all, unconfirmed submission: can someone point out where on the web Apple actually said this? And second of all, it should be pointed out that iLife comes bundled with every new Mac at no extra charge. And third of all, what's the big deal?
"I'm looking for a situation where I have a lot of freedom around the development of our products and the way those products come to market."
Translation: "I would like to participate in the actual development of products instead of participating in purchasing other companies with existing products (AKA 'innovation')."
Not exactly the same thing, as including both of those doesn't require anywhere near the amount of effort as supporting two development kits...at least, that's the argument Perens seems to be making.
Urf, really? Have to disagree with you there -- Ice Age couldn't hold a candle to Bug's Life, much less Monsters or Nemo. The only good parts of that movie were Scrat's.:)
Frank: It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girl dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.
I was going to post a insightful reply, but got distracted by cool flashing ThinkGeek adverts. Ooooh, shiny!!!!
Seriously though, I was a bit nonplussed to be spoken to by Michael Jordan the other day whilst browsing the Yahoo site. Turns out it was a Flash banner ad for an underwear company, for which the purported greatest basketball player of all time was hawking. Yes, it caused me to glance up, but then it also caused the following sequence: a scowl, an epithet, an immediate drop in my opinion of MJ and the product, and a drop in the likelihood I will either buy the product or use Yahoo as a resource.
My fear is that as broadband becomes more commonplace, it's not going to mean faster browsing for everybody, it's going to be mean actual commercials on the web. To quote Snoopy: "Blech!"

It's like "lickable" ... with the mouth open. ;)
(Sorry, it's the caffeine talking.)

I saw "Turns" okay, but my flight sim experience translated "Rolls" into something assuredly awful. :)

Next step: Street Vendors selling RIAA-emblazoned jackets. Oh the hilarity!
It's not how big your hard drive is, it's how much RAM you have. ;)
Erm, you do know that this research was funded by NASA too, right?
Time is limited on the big 'scopes.
Yeah, it's actually 300 million light-years long. :) Kids these days and their new math.
Much better luck loading with the story at NASA's site, including an MPEG version of the animation.

You are of course referring to the Total Perspective Vortex, which all extremists of any sort should be forced into.

Which reminds of my favorite sig: "Death to all extremists!"
Yeah, it's too bad that Apple forces you to use its LCD monitors and wireless hardware.
Oh wait, they don't.
Go away, troll.
Yes, but the food doesn't so much "not stick" as disappear from this universe. Depending on your cooking skills, this may or may not be a bad thing. :)

Dishwater
Beer
In sink, add beer to dishwater. Stir.
I'd like to nominate the SCO court filings for best work of fiction...and worst work of fiction.

Considering pretty much everybody's head is 3D (4D, too, if you think about it), I would be way more impressed if the company were run by a 2D head. :)

Frank: No, the worst.
Bzzzzt! So sorry!

Irritation is the sincerest form of flattery?
You, sir, are a naysaying, party-pooping wet blanket!
Now we know the real reason "Duke Nukem Forever: Rats of the Air" was delayed.
