Hmm, I don't recall that software. However, during that time period, I do recall using this cool new network stressing software to do network performance testing.
We tested the crap out of the network with that software.
Also -> Using DoomEd on my NeXT pizza box that we used to create the test profiles!
You seem to be missing the fact that they are NOT flash.
Adobe Air products are compiled to use native code of the target device. They suck because they're all coded for the lowest common denominator. But they are not flash.
Apple's kernel is XNU. This is Open Sourced. Apple's GUI is proprietary code and is not Open sourced. However, the GUI is not the kernel.
So to be correct, Some of Apple's OS stack is open source, some of it is not. Specifically for this story, the kernel does not support Atom. The hackintosh community is going to "fix" the kernel to add support for Atom. Here's a link from the source itself. As a workaround, if you upgrade to 10.6.2, you can simply drop in the 10.6.1 kernel to fix the problem.
There is no "closed source kernel". You can find them at Apples Darwin site. As 10.6.2 has just been released, the corresponding XNU is not there, yet.
I had other shopping to do in the Apple Store. I just asked the clerk if I could pay at the checkout counter. She happily said yes, handed me the shuffle, said thank-you, and moved onto the next customer.
Quick. Fast. Efficient. Very convenient.
BTW, at the Apple Store that I visited, the portable checkouts were able to print out receipts. The only thing they couldn't do was print out gift receipts.
Eh? Maybe you should read the thread that you linked. Yes, there was initial dismay, but then Apple - in their "humility and openness" - helped the team crack open the tar ball.
This is the exact same thing that happened way back when - when safari was first unveiled. Apple submitted a large tar, and then helped the KHTML team decifer it.
Being both a Safari *and* Konq user, this makes me happy.

Geez. The parent was funny, and I hate to do this 'cause you are not. I am compelled to point out where you are wrong. DCMA me... uh, I mean... sue me.
There is a big difference between the standard that is PDF and Adobe Acrobat which is an implementation of PDF. Quartz, an implementation of PDF, is built into the system, not Acrobat.
What I read from the post is that this "Friday, the 11th", Apple will be releasing something... and he's conjecturing that it will be iTunes for Windows since there will be "bands" playing.
I have no idea if he's right or wrong, but you're off the mark on the post itself.
It's TRUE !!!!

The new iPods have a new connector that will have either a USB or a FW connector on the other end. You do not need or are required to have the connector.
Drill through a purchase of an iPod, and you will get to accessories. There you can buy an extra FW or USB cable for $19.00
Causes graphic primitives like line, arc, rectangle, and so on to be painted with antialiasing. By default text will also take this setting, though you can override that using apple.awt.textantialiasing. Even with this flag set to true from the command line, you may still set the KEY_ANTIALISING rendering hints for specific objects.
Although this is false by default, it is set to true when you use the Aqua look and feel. This makes the behavior more consistent with the native Mac OS X user interface. Note that even if you set this to false for an application that uses the Aqua look and feel, Aqua user interface elements themselves will still be drawn with antialiasing.
Damn. Can you believe that even if I had the money, I might not be able to get a new iMac (soon)...
They do have an $800 line ... Re:Apple's Market

Why I Ain't Buying A Mac

It's the original iMac (iMac Classic). It's priced to sell at $799.
Big problem is that Apple doesn't push it, and it's targetted at the edu segment. I'm not even sure you can get it if you are not edu.
If apple put some marketing into this line as well as the iMac line, then that would be great. It would make a well rounded computing lineup.
IMO, I think apple is not doing this because of three things. 1., they are afraid that it would canabilize their iMac sales. The margin on the Classic can't be that much. 2. It would cost more in terms of having product in the channel and additional production costs. 3. It would add confusion on what you, the consumer, should buy.
You're still not comparing apples to apples. I will guarantee you that if you find a $2000 Hassy, it will be next to a $2000 Rollei, or a $2000 Pentex, or Bronica, or Mamiya. And that'll be for the body alone.
Also, they both take film, but the hassy will use medium format and the nikon will take a 35mm.
Next, they are in different fields, one is generally a studio camera, the other is not...
Geez... if you are going to use analogies, at least use the right ones.
They kept the base original iMac, dropped the price to $799. Then they took the second original iMac, and dropped the price to $999. Difference is in cpu speed, memory, and hard drive.
So, they still have the durable iMac CRT for those that need it.

Your comment is full of fail.
It says _up to_ 30. So, 24/6 =4. Considering they do not know the diameter of the possible impact site, this is perfectly acceptable.

Let me state it succinctly: You are a fool.
Why would you risk your release schedule for some possible panacea, which in all likely hood break your build in a nature that is completely unknown?
I would hope that you listen to your intuition and continue with your plan, build in additional testing for the next release.
You can do it from the computer, or you can send e-mail to iTMS support and they can de-auth it for you.
No problems.

Straight from his Stevie-ness.
So we haven't even gotten to the "There's one more thing ...."
... it's the year of the laptop. Imagine this G5 spec inside a brand new PowerBook G5 15" with all the illumination and features of the 17"????
That would be freaking AWESOME.
So, yes, it's real boys and girls. But hold onto your seats when Stevie reveals the specs of the 15" PowerBook G5.
I am so stoked!
You can plug the cable directly into the iPod.
The new iPods have a new connector that will have either a USB or a FW connector on the other end. You do not need or are required to have the connector.

No problems with it in a corporate env. I use it daily.

But it's NDA, so go the http://connect.apple.com and download it yourself.
But remember, it is still pre-release.
I believe that OpenDarwin.ORG == Apple. They are one in the same.
Hahaha ... yeah, you're right.

It handles tape backup in the Unix way. (ie tar, cpio, etc.)
There's also commercial backup packages like Dantz retrospect.
