The reports regarding the APSL were valid, but this is nonsense. Why not just yell: "PIG PILE ON APPLE!". What other reaction could CmdrTaco have hoped for, but the all-too-predictable slashdot evil glee that ensues whenever an Enemy of the Revolution mis-steps?
Smugness is hardly an attribute suitable for a movement in need of as much help as this one does.
Just brain storming here, but how about: Add QuickTime Media Layer and color for a killer video sketchbook. I love HexPaint and NewtPaint on my N2K, I want color and animation authoring too.
Additionally attaching a DV camera via FireWire and/or USB, coupled with cellular modem tech would make a great micro remote TV unit. Special effects, titling, Vector Tracks and Interactivity are all built in to QT, among many other things, making for a very slick presentation. Thousands of real time, portable Web based streaming TV stations, broadcasting live from LinuxWorld, Yugoslavia, your vacation. And that's just the tip of the iceberg, multimedia-wise.
The technology for all this live stuff already exists, I realize, but not as an out-of-the-box 15 minute setup kind of deal. It will happen, sooner rather than later, and Apple will be most likely be leading the charge towards this new killer "Golden Convergence"

maybe we should ID our posts with a little plus sign -->> + to show that you will refuse to flame. Rather than fighting fire with fire, which clearly doesn't work here, a gentle, non-violent response may prove more effective. Sure, it seems a little corny, but what if every one who feels as we do starts doing it? Maybe/. will resume being an interesting, fun place.
