It isn't a cut-and-dry case because there are other ways for providers to distribute their streaming music products without paying Apple. For example http://www.macnn.com/articles/...

The distinction is between Brazilian Portuguese and Continental Portuguese. The language is still Portuguese. Just like American English vs. British English.
We learned a lot about how to and how not to deal with reusable spacecraft from the shuttle program and we've done nothing useful with that knowledge.
Exactly! It feels like we are starting from scratch. I know NASA is sharing knowledge with SpaceX, but a lot knowledge is also being lost for stupid-ass political reasons. It's sad that we can't even get a rocket to reliably deliver cargo to the International Space Station -- It's upsetting and depressing!
why NASA is relying on private companies to build the next-generation spacecraft. NASA had a dependable spacecraft. Couldn't they have improved the Space Shuttle? There has to be more going here than just money. Seriously, we can afford a war anytime we feel like fighting one, but when it comes to science and space exploration, we suddenly don't have money.
This is an additional service. You will still be able to buy songs and if you have iTunes Match, you will still have your own library of music on your computer and on the cloud.
It's seems to me that Microsoft is hurting Google's brand. Microsoft is going to continually go after more and more companies. Google needs to make a stand! Enough is enough.
Apple does not allow sideloading, and does not allow use of any other marketplace. Google does..
This is simply not true. For example Apple allows many companies to have their own stores: Person App . In education and business administrators can side-load their own specialty apps.
Does anyone know if other computer manufactures have used Superfish software? Software installers? Just curious if other manufactures also bought the sales pitch from the Superfish sales team.
Microsoft sell to people who want to use computers without learning how they work.
What? Isn't it the opposite? Apple Sells Computers to people who just want to do work and not spend hours figuring out how to use the OS. Example, I have spent countless hours showing people how to do the simplest of things on Windows 8.0 / 8.1.
Apple's market share is dwarfed by Android's, but Apple's profitability makes the Android people look like peasants.
One major reason for this is that the Android market is inundated with very low-end Android phones. These phones are often underpowered and have very little storage. I work at a large public school corporation and have kids come to me asking for help on installing apps on their phones or asking why they can't load music or download games. The hardware just doesn't support it, which limits the app and content Android market.
Apple iAds don't install unwanted apps nor does it flood your phone with adverts! iAds are used by developers who chose to place adverts in their apps.
Is SpaceX accomplish something that hasn't been done by NASA? I don't understand all the excitement over landing a rocket when it has already been done so many times before? Am I missing someone?
You are spot on! Many teachers are burnt out. The No Child Left Behind regulations have created an educational system that only care about scoring well on high-stakes, standardized tests. Curricula across the country has become more and more homogeneous and creativity has been sucked out of our public educational system. Teachers and schools are being held accountable based on these high-stakes tests. Schools now focus on teaching to the test and get passing scores so they can get regulators "off their backs." What's happening to our educational system is very sad -- it has become highly politicized and polarized. It isn't fun anymore for teacher and students. They are both victims of a system gone amuck!
It is ludicrous to make the assertion that adding 40 minutes of time to the school day will magically add a month more of learning. The mentally that more time in school equals more learning is very flawed. We have setup our school like little prisons with strict rules and rigid schedules. Real learning doesn't take place while students are sitting at their desk listening to a teacher droning on an on. Real learning takes place when kids are actively engaged. They should invest their money on creating an alternative, project based educational program.

Sorry about the broken link. Here is the story about Spotify

I'm trying -- but it's hard!
I see them too -- them are pigs! Damn, there is a disturbance in the Force!
Microsoft has a hidden agenda behind this donation?

Funny!
I agree, Safari is faster and more stable than any other browser on Mac OS X.

Watch a few episodes of the Ben Heck Show. He does this kind of stuff all the time.

Can we use a proxy or VPN to create an account outside of the US? Just curious, if one has to be physically outside the US to get a non-US account.
Yes, but it's only "Emails and private information from customers of US companies"

I though MKLinux wasn't being developed anymore?
