Really hard to imagine something like this, especially when database backups are SO EASY. mysqldump, gzip, scp to a different machine or upload to S3. gzip'ed database dumps take up so little space!
I agree. Apple (or anyone for that matter) can go a lot further by embracing the developer community and enabling them to create whiz-bang features that maybe not everyone wants.
Calm down! SVG is a standard that will probably appear in the next major version of Safari. It's already in Webkit (available in in the latest nightlies).
It's bad enough they make crappy products--a lot of companies do that--but what's worse is that despite all that they still remain #1. The majority simply don't care about the alternatives, no matter how superior they may be!
Sure, we cry foul when it's Microsoft... but if tomorrow Google released Google Crashes and it allowed you to search people's crash records it'd be peachy.;)
If you need to dig deeper into the system, or if you need to tap into your own application to create a Widget that closely interacts with it, you can create your own Cocoa-based plug-in. These plug-ins work by providing a JavaScript object that's made available to the Widget.
It certainly seems like Yahoo! is turning back around, hot on Google's heals. With Yahoo 360, Flickr, and their developer tools, it seems like they are becoming relevant (again.)
The biggest issue IMO isn't the media, but the readers. So what if your CD-RW is still readable in 20 years if you can't even find a CD-ROM around to read them with?
I still have tons of 5" floppy disks around, and I'm sure the data on them is usable, but getting it off is another story.
I personally think 256kbps or even 192kbps is good. But it depends on your output (speakers, headphones) and more importantly your ears. Some people don't mind 92kbps while others won't settle for anything less than vinyl (usually people with $30k+ wrapped up in their setups...)

You don't find many Apple's in trailer parks...
It's been done...

This just proves that spam is big business, on both ends of the spectrum and even inside (read: spam filtering devices).
Of course, the only loser is the *users* caught in the middle...
What games will you be playing while dreading arriving at your parents house?
This is Slashdot, I live at my parent's house!

Seriously, Google is starting to scare me.
When they said "trusted sites" I was all geared up for some sort of Bayesian analysis. After all, it worked for spam.
Just make sure your LAN party is local, don't think airport security would take too kindly to this ;)

Usually within a month, although this April release date is not an Apple-confirmed fact but rather a ThinkSecret-reported rumor.

In short--its entirely up to you!
