How is the parent post insightful? As far as I can tell, the superparent does not make reference to anything perpetrated by The DaVinci Code. Furthermore, alluding to the book attempts to negate the fact that the early Catholic Church performed heavy editing, ignoring entire books that were very popular, had great information, and would sway one away from organized religion. Think of it as forced selective reading of the Bible for 1500 years.
This is not The DaVinci Code, this is history, and the superparent is right on the money.
Your non-native app is going to show the native market that there is interest for Mac users for your product. A slew of new, native, products will come out that will start eroding your market share, as their products will advertise how much better it is to be a real Mac app.
Finally, you will realize too late that your lack of actions allowed competitors to grow where they wouldn't had otherwise and jeopardize your business.
Because there are plenty of people like myself that recognize that the single button has kept carpel tunnel at bay, since I can vary where I click the button.
I _love_ the two finger click on the MBP. It is an elegant solution to an inelegant problem.
I don't know why they haven't implemented it in the AlBooks that support two finger scrolling, since it is obvious that they would support this as well.
The problem is not the cost of the license, it is the fact that it is different software, with potentially different bugs and definitely different configurations. You can't qualify software for the home version if you've only tested it on the pro version. Doing so would be bad for a business - what happens if there is a bug that causes home directory deletion in 10% of Home users?
The Spotlight menu bar item is infinitely large, as it occupies the top right corner (Fitt's Law).
The grandparent poster is aware of this, and would apparently like to populate it with something that they would utilize more than spotlight. Frankly, I agree, as I tend to key command to spotlight anyhow, then always bring up the window because I want to see the file path, not open the file.
Now, so that you understand why it is infinitely large:
Close your eyes. Move your mouse to the top and right. Give it enough movement to reach it and click. Open your eyes. You will have the spotlight menu open. (Unless you are not in Tiger, then you will have whatever is in the top-right corner)
Repeat this exercise, choosing different starting positions and different lengths of movement. Notice that you always end up on top of the Spotlight menu. (Unless you under-hit it, which is irrelevant because you don't have a penalty if you over shoot it.)
This is the reason the Mac menu bars are at the top- You only have to aim on the x axis, not the y. It is also why contextual menus are handy (you don't have to aim to get to where your cursor is _right now_).
Of course, you've just explained how to get "free" energy.

Not only would the energy be free, the masses would be paying us to generate it!
It is _not_ a pacifier. It _is_ something to cause hysteria. It is _not_ something done by arabs. It _is_ something done by our governments.
As Jon Steward said the other night, "You are more likely to die in your bathtub than in a terrorist attack."
You are more likely to die in a car crash than in a terrorist attack. You are more likely to die in the bathtub, due to a car crash, than in a terrorist attack.
Basically, it is time to start contacting the media in droves and tell them that we are sick of their reporting of government misinformation, we are willing to take the chance of another 9/11, and that they should report on the crimes against the nation and humanity being perpetrated by the people in power.
Now I'm off on an unscheduled vacation to Gitmo. See you again after the trial (never.)
My wife and I had some experience with this problem. My power adapters would not fail, but hers would. What it was is that my power wire would route relatively straight out of the back/side of my computers and to the floor. Hers would turn 180 degrees and do the same thing.
The problem is that it is very easy to unintentionally and repeatedly bend the wire where it connects to the plug, causing the wire to break. We've since solved the problem by using the clip that is on the wire to form a loop when the wire needs to turn 180. It's solved the problem so well that we haven't had to replace the power supplies, where we had to do almost annually prior to the behavior change.
As for the article, he should be a little more creative. I think there should be several different actions and a random number generator. Next, look at the logs and see if they are accessing bank records. Make a "hacked" logo and always replace the bank's logo with the hacked one.
Finally, if they are using myspace, or any other service, have the proxy replace their user picture to something else. Maybe a cheesy pirate.
I did this to my college roommate on April Fool's day one year. He replied by installing MS Office 6 on my Mac. It took 6 months to make it stable again.
Things like this change the chemistry of the brain. This individual, while completely responsible for the crimes he committed, is most likely addicted to the money and feeling that the crimes produce. Our society will be better if he is treated for this addiction as not only will he no longer be a drain, but can be an important contribution to it.
In short, it is his fault that he has an addiction. It is in our interest as a society to pay for the recovery from this addiction.
Except that they were in international waters. China's account of the incedent is that the US plane only entered Chinese airspace to make the emergency landing.
It does a few things that warrant concern in comparison with helicopters:
1) Helicopters are expensive to operate.
Fuel, maintenance, and work hours all go down when using smaller unmanned drones. This means that the government can operate more drones and watch more people at once, which is good to a point. The converse of this is that they can reduce budgets, which is also good. However, there is the potential that they will begin policing behavior that was generally overlooked previously.
2) Helicopters require multiple people.
A helicopter requires a pilot and co-pilot. While a drone may require such things now, there will be a time when multiple drones are controlled by a single individual. This is important because it is easier to cover up improper behavior if relatively few people know about said behavior. However, the good side of this is that it reduces costs.
3) Helicopters are loud.
You know when you are being followed by a helicopter. It is obvious and transparent. You may not know if and when you are being followed by a drone. This is good for tracking true criminals. However, it allows the possibility of government intrusion on regular citizens.
Drop the hard drive in the ocean. While someone _may_ eventually find it, it is unlikely.
Now, why are they not making hard drives for this purpose. Make platter substrates out of dry ice or some other low melting point substance. Next, have the enclosure provide for both cooling and superheating. If you want the data destroyed hit the red button.
It then quickly melts the substrate, making the magnetic portion succeptable to the G forces of the spinning. If you really want to make sure that it is gone, you could then dump the remains into a blender type device with several other hard drives, making it a mix of many bits.
For further obfuscation, the particles of magnetic media could then be scattered in the wind before landing.
10.4 uses IPv6 to communicate whenever it can. For instance, anytime you use Bojour.
This frightened me the first time I saw IPv6 addresses in my 10.4 Server logs. I was wondering how they got there as I had not configured anything to do with IPv6. It took a IM to a Apple tech acquiantance to tell me that they switched Bonjour to IPv6.

Yup, my bad. I noticed that comment after I wrote mine, and I didn't actually RTFA. Oh well.

Or the interstellar traveller ate you after you ate the cookie.
Of course they would have to release OS X for non-apple PCs to do that.

Nah, just a picture of their home. Make sure to get several angles. Maybe the parking lot and a nearby park too.
Then a very shady looking person hiding in a shadow.

This is the USA. While many people will tell you this, as this is how it is in the Bible. However, the parable they live by is slightly different:
Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and you destroy your monopoly on fishing.

There is a subtle jab in the name of the new product.
