Let's be honest, this behavior of a company shunning a person/publication because they criticized the company isn't new. Many companies do this all the time. Electronic and car companies employ have been employing this behavior for quite some time. I'm not saying it's right, it's just the way business is. The company is in the market of selling something and if you bad mouth it or hurt the company, why should they give you access to them or their products. Now the difference is that developers are actually providing something that can help the companies sell more products. But from Apple's perspective there are new developers that can replace any that decide to leave. I imagine that they don't want to lose those developers, but right now it's not hurting their bottom line.
I think with people like Marco Arment and other people that were mentioned in the article, they know some of the guys that are working on iOS or MacOS and may of felt bad cause they criticized their work. As a developer my self, I never want to release a buggy product and work my hardest to fix as much as I can, but sometimes that choice is out of my hands. And obviously given that some of these people make their living off of writing about Apple, I think it's understandable they may be concerned that their words could hurt their reputation with the company and thus their living could be impacted. But that's a risk when you take a stance on something that impacts someone else.
I think established shows like Eureka can weather a mid-season hiatus, but for a show in it's first couple seasons I think it can be quite detrimental to it and cause the viewers to leave and forget.
Avi Greengart, principal analyst for mobile devices at Current Analysis, also thinks the iPhone won't be a good option for enterprise customers because enterprises won't be able to write applications for the phone."
Here's an idea...Write a web app!
It's so ingenious, I'm going to patent it.:D
I imagine you'll be able to store files locally and if you can access them thru Safari on the phone, than just do that. If not, write some security and put it on an extranet.
This is what I was reminded of when I saw the headline. Too bad, they would never add the elements Rocket Jockey had. That would definitely get me to watch it.
Sign me up though when people will be straddling rockets and trying to clothesline each other with ropes.:D
but quit paying the actors $15 million for one damn movie!!
Most of them don't even deserve to be payed that much.
Or don't put a stunt in that costs half of what the movie cost to produce. We've seen one car chase with tons of wrecks and explosions, we don't need another! Do you hear me Michael Bay?!
While it is true that the TiVo runs the Linux kernel, and TiVo has released their changes to the kernel under the GPL, the TiVo is not a general-purpose computer, and there is no programming information available for the custom hardware contained within a TiVo. TiVo is under no obligation to release the source code to their application.
I would think with Filemaker 7 that this would solve the issue of not having a relational database.
Mind you, I'm not the biggest fan of gui dbs and would rather code my own stuff any day of the week, but I've heard pretty high praise about Filemaker.
The WiFi is a normal Apple Wireless card that plugs into a board that rests on top of the motherboard I believe.
Probably not something you'd be able to do on your own unlike the memory and hard drive.

While Pages may not affect businesses so much, it may affect regular consumer sales as most people don't need as powerful of a word processing program as Word is....let alone one as expensive as it.
$79 for iWorks compared to $400 for 2004 standard edition...I dunno about others, but I know I'd sure give iWorks a good look depending on my needs.
Their cases are gorgeous compared to most of the other HTPC cases I've seen out there. About the only nices I see are fairly large compared to the size of alot of dvd players and other home theater components.

My apologies, thought I saw it in the article, but must of misremembered that I read it from a different article.
I blame Reuters for not doing a better investigation.
It affects jailbroken iPhones.
As usual the clip of text Slashdot uses doesn't bother to mention that.
He didn't actually do this. Please do a little research.
Won't someone think of Dunder Mifflin?!?
If we go to a paperless office, how will Dwight keep his beet farm?!

While out in the field with the Android phone and the new apps...
Sergeant: Private! Check to see if any other patrols have left any warning signals near here.
Private: Ok Sarge!
5 minutes later...
Sergeant: Private! What's taking so long? Are there any damn warnings?!?!
Private: Ohh! Sorry Sarge. I had to wait for the ad for Angry Birds Rio to finish loading and then I decided to download to it.
Sergeant: Gomer!!!

If you take Dvorak's article and plug it into the Inauthentic paper detector mentioned in the article above this on the main page.
It finds that the text has been classified as INAUTHENTIC with a 25.7% chance of being authentic text.
I find that true for anything Dvorak says.
Shocked I tell ya.
I would of never thought that Windows Vista would of been delayed. Everything from Microsoft is on time.
I will now sacrifice my MacBook Pro to the great Ballmur in order to appease him.

What happened to a good story?!
From the MythTV documentation:
No.
While it is true that the TiVo runs the Linux kernel, and TiVo has released their changes to the kernel under the GPL, the TiVo is not a general-purpose computer, and there is no programming information available for the custom hardware contained within a TiVo. TiVo is under no obligation to release the source code to their application.
So how bad would it be to just repost all the same comments in this story? :)
Cept there is already a Texas University.
It used to be called Southwest Texas.
Except if you look at their diagram, the selection is on Frank Mills.
:D
So they can't be the same if one is Frank Mills and the other is Liberace.
Sound logic isn't it?
saying my dvd player is always flashing 12:00 just doesn't sound right.
Having to use VPC means buying a copy of windows and VPC. That's more money to shell out that many users will not want to spend.
Also VPC means you open yourself to viruses and spyware...part of the reason why many people switched to OSX.
The population that will run OSX and VPC will be pretty small.

No, the slot is for the memory DIMM.

It's a shame they don't sell just the case.
