Apple certainly doesn't seem cowed by Microsoft. There were three big banners at the WWDC dissing MS. One said "Redmond, start your photocopiers," One said "Introducing Longhorn" (above an image of a Tiger CD), and one "Redmond, we have a problem. Curiously, pictures are onPaul Thurrott's decidedly anti-Apple blog.
I find it interesting - and misguided that the author of the study selected individual notes as the smallest unit of musical meaning. For me, at least, a single note, just considered as a note has no meaning. For me the smallest unit of musical meaning is an interval, two notes played in succession. Of course, a musician can add meaning by varying the timbre and dynamic.
How is this any better than The Palace? The Palace is chat software with avatars, sound, interactive environments, and its own nifty RPN scripting language, ipscrae. It was so sucessful that it even made it to the cover of Time, but it faded after it was bought by a company that tried to push its use in the corporate work space.
On the other hand maybe the prOn user is the ideal target for this device. Consider: thousands of short video clips online, small screen facilitates private viewing, and convenient one-handed operation.
Autonomous Monk sounds like a forced play on words on the name of jazz great Thelonius Monk, though I doubt that he would have thought much of the resulting music.
Sorry. Apple has already patented fruit flavors for electronic gear. However, non-fruit flavors are still available. Try asparagus, tomato, eggplant and rare beef for starters.
I think Apple will stick with big cats until Longhorn comes out. After that, Microsoft might come out with something a little more intimidating, like "hammerhead" for instance, and Apple will have to come up with something that can make mincemeat out of that.
I suspect that more than a few slashdot readers have written software and selling it as shareware. I once wrote a Macintosh game called Munchies and I still get a handful of registrations each month. But it's it's a one man show. If I die, there's no one else to handle the registrations and development would cease. I'm wondering how other shareware developers have dealt with this situation. Does the death of a solo developer usually mean the death of his/her software?
Of course, here on slashdot, it's common enough to correctly identify this sort of malware as a "windows worm," but if this terminology could make it into the more general media, it might raise the general consciousness to make people more aware of the alternatives to Windows. Maybe some informed and polite letters to your local newspaper might make a difference.
Apple doesn't have any airforce, unles you count Steve Jobs' Gulfstream. What sort of threat does Apple have? to shut off India's supply of pink iPod minis?
Funny thing: the web page which looks real, is bogus. The banner ad for klein bottles which looks like a joke is real. It's for a company run by Cliff Stoll, author of the Cuckoo's Egg.
Strap two pounds marinated meat wrapped in foil to server. Get story posted on slashdot with link to server. Wait ten minutes. Unwrap meat. Enjoy! That's one way to cook with the Internet
Think of apple, they were never to worried about backwards compatibility and their os is more stable because of it. All those programs that weren't compatible with osx had to be updated to ensure they'd work with the changed operating system.
True, but Apple does allow for compatibility with older applications through the classic envionment. I was recently amazed to find that a version of MissleCommand that I had for 1984, the year of the introduction of the Mac, still worked with OS X.
I know that this dates me, but I had my very own disposable cardboard computer way back in 1966. Sure, it only had about 100 bits memory, but it didn't require any batteries either!Here are some pics.
Well, some people will want to watch movies on a 5" screen by themselves just one time -- but the movies they want to watch are not the ones that Disney makes.
Not true. According to this article, development on Internet Explorer for the Mac has stopped, but support will continue. Future updates to the browser will only contain maintenance or security fixes, but no new features.

Software will be free and you'll pay for hardware.

There are both Windows and Linux versions avaliable, as well as source code.
There's also an Mac OS X version on the same site.

Damn. The guy went from Vegas heartthrob to nerdy kinetic sculpture race guy.
Not only that, but the novelization of his life is already out.

MS seems to assume that they lost the sale because the Linux side had superior marketing instead of a superior product.

Get a Family Pack. Only $199 for up to five licenses.

A set is by defintion fake, so a fake set must be real! He's being truthful, but in a really stupid way.
Agreed, $249 is too high. They may have production issues and once they've ramped up the volume, they'll drop the price. At least let's hope so.

Squeezebox. Maybe it's been optimized to play accordion music.
What a great opportunity for an enterprising geek to win a Darwin award by hooking his computer up to an overhead power line!
