When Windows CE first appeared on the scene, it was presented by MS as an alternative to thin clients because MS was really threatened by JAVA and thin clients. Then the price of computers came down from the couple thousands to a thousand or less.
Windows CE that you use on your phone is not the same Windows CE that you can get for a netbook-type device in terms of interface. The applications are the same but the interface is like Windows 95 and runs an Explorer shell.
I really don't know the answer to this so don't go all "Geek IRC channel" on me but doesn't IBM still retain the right to manufacturer their own x86 chips?
Plus I wouldn't count out burning bridges, look at all the bad press Apple threw at Intel and now they have Intel DESIGNING chips for them.
GOD I wish we could get away from x86, there's so many better architectures out there.
I think it's mainly that the US has the least amount of restrictions while offering the most amount of protection to a company. The old price/performance argument.
What Steve Jobs has been good at is saying that Apple would not be good at specific areas, then having people scream and shout about how much they want those products after Apple has said they would not make those products.
That man is above all else a showman. He is the PT Barnum of our time. I am not saying that Apple products are not top notch, I have all of them, but what I am saying is he knows how to get what he wants out of people and that is RARE in ANY industry let alone the tech industry.
Did you see the pud at the Pre launch? That guy had as much charisma as my bath soap.
I was thinking the same thing and it really made me wonder if this isn't just a better version of rotoscoping and not actually a 3D object. In any case, the whites of the eyes and the teeth always give it away, they always look like they glow when people try to do realistic 3D animation.
I don't think that stripping America of more of its freedoms is "acting in good faith". They knew what they did was wrong when they did it, which is why they wanted immunity. I don't know why we can't hold them to the same ideals they have for others: If you didn't do anything wrong, why do you want immunity?
I remember someone ported Java to the Apple IIgs or Atari ST, I forget, maybe it was Amiga, some 68k based 80's OS. Just because you have Java on something does not mean it's a desirable platform. I have Java on my Mogul and it fucking sux. No matter what smoke Sun tries to blow up your ass, Java was never designed for devices with limited resources. For christ's sake the main problem with Java apps on desktops is the resources it consumes!
It's more likely that Apple will develop its own editing application expanding on what we have seen in the iApps and Aperture using CoreImage as the centre-point of it. I'd think they would most likely buy Pixelmator before buying Adobe. Plus I don't think Apple is interested in Flash, they already had QuickTime Interactive and did nothing with it.
The only way to write an Intel compatible GUI application is to use XCode. They may be using some in-house middleware to get their code into XCode but right now Apple is the only one who has an IDE to create Intel GUI apps.
It obviously has nothing to do with how many Linux users visit the site and EVERYTHING to do with how fucking scared MS is of Flash. Adobe OWNS online video, that was the whole purpose behind the purchase of Macromedia, all of their other assets were garbage3 in relation to Adobe's own assets. Microsoft is not going to find a use for Silverlight unless it opens its own YouTube-like site and it will fail miserably because Microsoft will make sure that you have absolutely no portion of any copyrightable material despite fair use. I guess secret deals is how Microsoft is going to get back the web. It worked for the desktop.
That, to me, is one of the main selling points of PDF: very few people know how to edit it.
I do freelance ad layout for some local businesses and I always send off the finished product to the magazines in PDF. Every time the ad arrives in print it looks exactly the way it was designed. I once got a nasty email from someone at the magazine saying that because I sent the ads in PDF they could not edit it. Um, why are you editing an ad that someone has paid for? I told them the reason I send it in PDF is exactly for that reason, so they can't edit it. Part of my contract when I do freelance is that if they make derivatives of my work I get paid for it.
You should really watch "The God Who Wasn't There". For Jesus having supposedly been such a rabble rouser, who was purported to have been sentenced to death by Romans during a period of time when we know a LOT about history thanks to the Romans writing about everything, NO ONE happened to have written about Jesus during the time he was alive. Fascinating.

His use of tact was correct. Try using a REAL dictionary before you try to correct someone. Just as wikipedia does not have every bit of information on a subject, it's clear your "wiktionary" has a lack of definitions on words. Adopting a tack makes no sense. The nautical definition of "tack" is not correct because "tack" used in that way is an intransitive verb, not a noun and references MAKING a change, not taking a specific direction.
BTW, tact is not the base word of tactile which wiktionary and you seem to believe it is. Tactile has no base, it comes from the Latin tactilis.
I call bogus. Almost every torrent community I've been to posts the bitrate of the album. It's next to impossible to find a bitrate less than 192k on Pirate Bay and a LOT are 320k. Your experiment must have been in the earlier days of BT because your example simply does not exist today.
The "new" Finder is really no big improvement. About the only usable addition is QuickView. All the flaws of the previous Finder are pretty much still in tact.
Cover Flow would be immensely usable to browse image and video folders. However turning on Cover Flow means ALL your folders are now in that view. It's the only view that does that. You also have no control over how the information BELOW the Cover Flow is presented, it's always in list view with a pre-determined set of view options. You also cannot set the size of the Cover Flow viewport on a per-folder basis.
Apple changes the format of their proprietary database format and suddenly everyone is saying they're the devil and they did it to cause problems for Linux users. Of course, it has NOTHING to do with the possibility that the old format was not very good, or that it was easily corrupted. Nope, it was TOTALLY to stop Apple from selling more iPods to Linux users.

As an end-user, I think Silverlight works better than Flash but that may just be because Silverlight doesn't have any compatibility baggage.

It might be a nice gesture for Apple to buy Xerox with some of their pocket change and take it out back and shoot it.

Gap tried to overcome the (incorrect) perception that "Mickey Drexler is Gap". All I'm sayin' is we see how that turned out.
People have never really wanted a speech interface, it's been around FOREVER and has not taken off even when it's quite good.

I love this, it's the engineers defense: It's your fault the software's buggy.
I think it's more interesting to show that on planets with no liquid water but with ice, there is a chance of life.
Google Maps is the second-most used application on my Sprint Mogul. The first is called vTap which formats Wikipedia for cell phones.

In this day and age, fonts SHOULD be designed with anti-aliasing in mind. A LOT of older fonts look HORRIBLE anti-aliased or lose their uniqueness.
