The reason for this is to force developers to do the right thing
IMO the reason has always been that if you're advertising your computer as being the easiest in thw world to use, it should come with the easiest to use mouse.
IMO it "shows" a lot about how MS competes. If you're the big dog, you don't have to be better, just louder. Its obvious MS didn't care about accuracy, only about being able to have marketing bullets.
I can just as accurately predict the future with even less data.
Tell me appoximately what time you leave for work every day, and I'll predict approximately what time of day you'll leave for work every day next week.
We're mostly creatures of habit, so yes, 85% of the time we're doing just what we did the last time.
By default, you have no license and only have "fair use" rights. The CC license gives you permission to do things like "throw the book on BitTorrent". Without that (explicit) license you're open to charges of infringement.
Heck, without that license you're open to charges of infringement even if you think its fair use, and the copyright holder doesn't think its fair use.
I may be wrong, but I think you're misunderstanding the line in the same way Dvorak does.
Wholesale copying of a novel is not fair use (period). Barring some form of license to copy, its a violoation of copyright law to make and distribute complete copies. That's what is meant by saying "No one can distribute my book under fair use".
The CC licence is what gives one the legal ability to make a wholesale copy. IOW it expands what you can do beyond just "fair use". Fair use would allow you to quote some parts for comment or for educational use only. The CC license allows you to make a complete copy for any non-commercial use.
I guess I've never seen Apple say they would never go Intel. I have heard Jobs say they always keep their options open when asked in the past about switching processors. And that was back in the days when Motorola was having trouble ramping up G4 speeds.
Also note that Macs have often used Intel tech. Everything from PCI, to USB, to ethernet controllers, to (even) SATA. Macs have had "Intel Inside" for years (just not the CPU).
Yeah, but does it really make a difference if you're talkiing about a news clip? Kind of like asking if you need a big home stereo system to listen to AM radio.
What I find intriguing, after reading the "Son of iPod" stuff from MS, is that MS has once again missed the boat, and Apple may be right on target.
MS is talking to motion picture studios about selling feature length movies online. Does anyone want to spend $7 to buy and 2 hr to download Lord of the Rings to watch on a 3" screen? *Note all numbers made up as dictated by/. rules.
OTOH Apple is talking short stuff (music videos, sports hilights, news bits, cartoons -think JibJab...) that will only be a dollar or two (some even free). They'll be easy to download, high volume and people might be willing to watch it on a 3" screen (with video out to watch on big screen).
Who do you think is more likely to be a hit with their target market?

I assume the REALLY bad arthritus is not in her mousing hand, otherwise I'd advise staying far away from multi-button mice.
That's one nice thing about having the option of using a one-button mouse. Can one even use a one-button mouse in Windows?
Kind of like how the iPod started out.

Selling optical mice in 1983?
OTOH, all MS had to do was change the name of a product to set the whole 'net a buzzing.
So its not only Apple.
Not having a MS mouse, I have to ask...
Does that mean click in the scroll wheel and move the mouse in any direction to get scrolling. Because otherwise I don't see how it works.
And in that case, you've lost the function of one button, haven't you?
And that's enough.

Quick, somebody toss me some grant money!
Just noticed a couple days ago the video rental place I frequent now has some of the old SNL stuff.
Just might have to check it out.
And SJ said OS X was going to be their base for the next 10 years. That's what, another 5 years? I guess NT's decade is over.
Somehow I see the core of OS X outliving the Longhorn core OS.
I think they wanted to get away fromt the predator/prey thing Mac users were snickering about.
Mac OS : Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, Lion
MS OS : Longhorn, Longhorn, Longhorn, Vista
I guess Tiger really did eat Longhorn for lunch.
Remove any more features and its XP SP3.
Seriously.
And if you take a look at their current promotions, its "buy a qualifying Mac and get a free iPod mini."
That' deal is "Exclusively for college students."
Sounds like OpenDoc to me.

No, you're all wrong.
Nobody's posting because BoingBoing ran a bit about a WoW nude mod.
This should reeally test the servers.
I vote that we stop giving free hype fuel for the apple hype machine.
I agree. Let's get back to real stuff like Longhorn, an easy to use Linux GUI, and all that SCO code in the Linux kernal!
\... Runs and hides.
Oops. I forgot the iPod already has composite video out for displaying photos on a TV. The parts are already in place.

OTOH, the iPod does allow connecting to any stereo system.
The key might be in only allowing analog out. Now if they would stream DV via Firewire...
