The important thing is to have a DNS root Server everybody in the world, no matter their political point of view, can trust. When politicians (and especially presidents) starts to be interested in the "universal guidebook", no wonder people start loosing faith in the system.
Today, The Internet is not DARPA it is not American. It's international, global, something more that we all need in our daily lives.
The more US politicians, US lawmakers and US presidents tighten their grip and insists on control of The Internet, the more likely it is, that they will loose.
Furthermore, almost all iPods ever made, has more storage than any PDA ever made. I know that it's possible to buy a micro drive for at PDA, but those are so expensive, that people were buying iPod mini's go get a micro-drive for their digital camera.
Calendar and Contacts are available on the iPods now. If Apple added a way to input information, changes to the calendar etc, the difference between an iPod and a PDA would be even smaller. iTunes already support pdf files, it's a question of time before the iPod does.. eBooks here I come. Email? It will be a while yet, I think!
Every quarter, Steve Jobs dresses up in faded jeans and black turtle neck and invites the press for another special event.. alway presenting something that makes people say one of the following:
- "must have shiny thing" - "Apple is doomed, but must have shiny thing"
With 200 million iTunes (the program) users and 20 million iPod owners, people are starting to pine for those thinner, shinier, sexier products, that Apple presents all the time. DO NOT try iTunes, it's addictive and you'll end up giving Apple your money, one way or the other.
I have nothing but respect for Apple. And I only has an iPod..
Well, China has more or less closed it's Internet borders to the rest of the world anyway, to protect their citizens from ideas of democracy and stuff like that.
USA on the other hand would probably just (down the road) protect all of us form downloading from certain domains. Popular torrent or God forbid Pr0n sites! BUT, parental control sells well with some people, so who am I to argue?
An internet without boobs wouldn't be an internet at all!
I work for the biggest ISP in a small country and I remember (around 1999 I believe) when the network admin said today, the amount of non-pr0n traffic equals the amount of pr0n traffic.
Pixar's Office of the President consists of Steve Jobs, chairman and chief executive officer, Ed Catmull, president, Simon Bax, executive vice president and chief financial officer, John Lasseter, executive vice president of creative, Sarah McArthur, executive vice president, production, and Lois Scali, executive vice president and general counsel.
Furthermore, those Pixar Shorts have been free downloads for years. (Though they do seem to have been cut short along the way)
Steve Jobs probably have some contacts in Disney, that see things his way...
So, only the charming personality of the vendor will keep people from buying at the next store! wow, that's hard business! On the other hand, it's easy to be a customer, you only need to check one store.. IF you can find it:-) Take care
Do the shop owners expect to haggle about the price?
"No! No!" exclaimed the merchant. "You'd be crazy to pay that much! You have to haggle! You see, here's how it works. (Whispering:) I state a ridiculous price and you say 'no way' and offer me, let's say 2 dinars, and then....." Red grew impatient as the haggling lesson continued for another minute or so.
..that all the people that got the upgraded MacMini will feel cheated next week, when Steve Jobs tells the world about that "one more thing" he's got planned.
Apple clearing stock in the easiest way possible, by giving stuff (better specs) away to people, not trying to cheat anybody.

.. so, if harddisk storage is so important for Bill Gates, why do I have to jump through hoops to get Windows 2000 to see more than 137 GB?
I know!! 137GB's aught to be enough for anybody, right?

In 1999, he decried the original iBook (remember the clamshell thingy?) as being effeminate and that no "real man would use one.
Granted, it looked girlish but packed 2 or 10Mbit wireless card which gave so many geek points at the time that "real men" looked twice..

Who is going to break the DRM on pretty much anything and everything now?
Why can somebody that smart be so stupid? (as to move to The Land of The DMCA)

yep, first the blood of the non-linux crowd, then the blood of the suse users, then debian, redhat, freebsd ..
God forbid that the Mac users are forgotten!
It's never enough to run linux .. there is so much "religion" when it comes to which distribution you are running ..
would that be the "special hell", reserved for child molestors and people that talk in the cinema?
