That's like worrying about the results of being at the center of a nuclear blast--futile waste of energy resulting in nothing but fear latent stress. Have a beer, enjoy life while we exist.
Speculation :: Apple and DirecTV

With the advent of Tiger and H.264 and Apple's deep knowledge of MPEG4 and its QuickTime APIs what are the odds that one of Apple's future Digital Hub Hardware products is a TiVO like box that DirecTV would license?
We already know they could pick Linux for their solution.
This is just highly speculative thinking here.

As of for now, scratch satellites for Local channels. A tech for DirecTV was kind enough to point out that the Digital Signal for Local is beamed from the landbased towers due to the Local networks not putting up a satellite. Not that I don't mind since I do get all my Local channels from DirecTV, presently, but I hope they eventually get the signal from Orbit, as advertised.
Are you trying to slow traffic down more than it already has to go? While you're off pondering the deep ramifications of how the latest research on String Theory is moving forward you're gonna slow down and bug the crap out of everyone around you--bring on road rage.
Meanwhile, you could be getting a good belly laugh by listening to Tom Leykus about topics that really matter--the voodoo we call dating. Or as Tom would say, ``How to teach men to get more ass for less cash.''
write a Microsoft Office clone--good luck and who wants the browser to be just another interface to an Office Suite? Browsers are already memory intensive enough as it is.
Yes Forms is very important in business processing:
and so is paged media for proper document publications. Two applications people can't live without in Office is Word and Excel. Word by far is the more important of the two. Why? Accounting offices don't rely on Excel to do all there processes. Large firms have custom accounting solutions when it comes to handling millions of business transactions. That's why Microsoft entered to play against SAP and Oracle/Peoplesoft.
But if Firefox can implement the following completely:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/CR-css3-page-20040225/
and have proper Forms support before IE and by at least 6 months of press then IE is in serious trouble. I expect Safari to have it just as soon as Firefox and with OS X Tiger out expect people to not just switch browsers but switch platforms.
Linux will benefit whether Safari (KHTML/KJS) or Firefox brings these solutions to market.
Linux will continue to eat into the x86 market directly taking from Microsoft's marketshare, especially in the Enterprise, and so will OS X and its growing presence from the consumer to the enterprise.
Security continues to be addressed early by Mozilla, Opera, KDE and Apple, including lesser known browsers based upon Gecko sources. That won't change. Consumers are fed up with all the annoyances IE is beginning to reveal.
Business consumers do more than just switch. Business users switch vertical solutions.
Holy crap the man couldn't get a date with his own hand yet people entrusted him with enough money to make a century worth of snakeoil salesmen turn in their graves.
I call b.s. on this one. Being almost 36, having worked in Silicon Valley and the Pacific Northwest, as well as twice divorced, both marriages held me shouldering the brunt of domestic and professional responsibilities in the family.
Sorry but this isn't 1957 and Father knows Best. What is a more realistic trend for women
Nothing like being the major bread winner, housekeeper and chef of my past two marriages to realize that very few women want to care about anything other than being taken care of--monetarily and physically. What's worse is we aren't talking about women who actually went through motherhood. I dated one woman with a small child who ended up having me be Mr. Mom for over a year.
Where is the balance of duties? Both can be professionals, but neither is beholden to past generational stereotypes as excuses to do or not pitch in and contribute to the domestic as well as economic issues that face all relationships.
I suppose the fact that obesity is so common--a byproduct of fast food--many must think being able to cook, clean and maintain yards are unnecessary qualities in a person. Think again. Men and women outside of their genitalia have no excuses for being incapable of such skills.
Until I personally find a woman capable of doing and actually not minding to do domestic chores alongside working in the industry of her choosing I'll stick to being single. The financial and emotional baggage isn't worth it. If a woman--or for women if a man--doesn't value physical fitness through "blue collar" labor she will never value the perks of a "white collar" lifestyle.
They bought a company, personnel and all, not just some technologies and rebranded them.
Oh what do I know I only worked for both. And yes if there were any real justice Apple should be renamed NeXT since the bulk of the innovation is coming from our camp but who gives a shit, its all merged and moving forward. There was some very innovative technologies rotting at Apple and NeXT if you want to know the truth. It takes visionaries to pull it all together and make it happen. I know lots of competent developers and very few of them, if any, are visionaries with ideas that will bring forth "The NeXT big thing." Once the ideas spring forth they then can see the forrest for the trees and whip out some incredibly innovative solutions. It takes teamwork and focus but also, "STYLE."
I think we're jumping the gun here on this being the iTunes Motorola Phone. Even Motorola doesn't list iTunes in it's feature specs.
As many have pointed out Apple designs the physical interfaces for all of its branding products--if iTunes were in the phone it would mean that iPod OS would be on the phone. This is just an MPEG-4 compliant phone.
So speaking of 1992 when the hardware began being phased out and having worked at NeXT I can tell you DPS screamed on future hardware and in-house we fixed a few high penalty flaws in coding that never got released but later the design was rolled into Quartz.
This company hires or through purchases works developers until they deliver on game code base first, then releases many and maintain those that can help other developers on other projects ramp up and cross develop.
Such a strategy is what keeps them dominant in the broad gaming market.
More developers should wake up take a cue from Id.
Gawd damnit Apple! Re-release the Cocoa frameworks for WOF already!
Seeing all these copycat technologies that claim superiority through extensive frameworks is becoming quite nauseating.
Especially when they don't hold a candle to WOF/EOF Cocoa with its ObjC_WebScript, EOF Frameworks, so on and so forth. All Ruby pundits can mod me down all you want but this shit doesn't hold a candle to stuff I first learned back in 1996.
Here is to seriously hoping Apple gets focused in the Enterprise--the lack of focus is why I left a year after the merger from NeXT.
So your girlfriend is shallow and obsessed with beauty, even for products that are supposed to spend 99% of their time hidden away in your pocket and doing what they are supposed to be doing: playing music.;-)
Spoken like someone who never gets noticed and feels jaded they aren't perceived as beautiful. Tough shit. Beauty exists to differentiate from the Ugly. Both are necessary balancers. Reincarnated and be labeled shallow in the future.
Style is in the eye of the beholder.
What I'm more curious is whether or not his girlfriend must kick ass in bed for a guy to drop that kind of cash on a girlfriend. No offense, but having been married I sure as hell am not interested in supporting my spouse's music habits nor do I expect any "gifts" from her. I'm forseeing a 2 carat diamond when this guy's girlfriend starts becoming mesmerized by DeBeers Diamond commercials and starts talking Marriage.
EOF was never "tied" to WebObjects during the ObjC days. EOF was always available to any application interested in it's power. It was only later when we merged with Apple that it got a back seat and rerouted to WOF, specifically.
Afterall, when we pulled legacy support for Openstep 4.2 there was no need for EOF support either as a standalone.
Personally, I hope the two interns who invented EOF at NeXT, and later founded RunningStart, are working with Apple once again.

It isn't a 50/50 balance between technical skills and vision.
It is more of a 70/30 where you get Vision/Technical balance. One of the best examples of that is Microsoft.
DEC is one of the best examples of this where it showed that without the Vision all that brilliant technology went into the shitter.

Work on memory retention. My memory has been nicknamed a Big Bull Elephant.
For those that have poor memories you can work on them. There are many memory techniques to induce improved short-term and long-term retention.

Unless Apple suddenly releases GCC support for the CELL Processor I doubt we'll see this for a Mac any time soon.
So speaking of 1992 when the hardware began being phased out and having worked at NeXT I can tell you DPS screamed on future hardware and in-house we fixed a few high penalty flaws in coding that never got released but later the design was rolled into Quartz.
BSD 4.3. Get your facts straight.
Since when does the G5 have a downgrade in video card? Which model had the ATI 9200 Radeon card on the G5 tower?
Are these journalists so desperate and bored they dig through source code in hopes of one day stating the inevitable?
Who gives a rats ass about such right now. Whatever gets released as a major change for the Powerbook will always be chastised as not enough.
Hell find something else to shoot your wad about already.
Pay attention to the past 5 years.
