IIRC Apple developed them as part of an Apple/MS deal to improve Fonts and Graphics, the Graphics format didn't surface. Sort of a way to not use postscript stuff.
there is an SDK, AJAX and WEB 2. Any app that runs in the new version of Safari 3 on a Mac or Win, will run on iPhone. No, it's not what the geeks of the world wanted, but you can't make everyone happy. You company can have one app that runs on the 'PC's and their phones, it isn't Quake 3 but it is more like what a business wants.
what brings people to apple and linux is the figurehead, and bill gates was never the figurehead that cults are made of. Bill Gates represents the things that drive people away, his is running a big business, like a businessman, he sells spreatsheets, not new designs, or the promise of a free tomorrow, he is the anti-jobs.:)
the main issues seem to be that ANYONE can post, there is no moderation and no right of reply. Sure you can say what you want but the target should also have the right to challenge the 'ratings'
Unlike copyright, patents are only valid in the country that they are registered in. This would apply to MS patents also. They have copyright over the software which is almost global, but any patent would only apply is the countries in which the patent is registered. There may be agreements between countries, but if I patent something in Australia only, it could be built and used in the USA without asking me, but it could not be sold back into Australia.
If the reason for attending the site is a power or backhaul problem, be careful which electronic lock you buy. It would be a shame if no power meant no access.
as a resource Wiki is not as 'safe' a source of information as a reviewed textbook, if the facts in Wiki are wrong and there are exam questions which the student gets wrong because of Wiki, who is to blame? I wouldn't portray Wiki as evil, but as it is, a database of information submitted by the community and it maay be true, false or otherwise.
just as he had to collect the devices required to play records (and there are a number of variations) tapes and CDs, he will have to collect the digital equivalent, WMP, iTunes etc. Big Deal! Formats have been changing since musicians first stated to record their music on velum. Licensing has been around on just about all forms of commercial music, sheet music, records, tapes, he just ignored it and didn't research his subject.
just as I can't use a CD on my record player o MP3 player, Apple's files are just a transport medium. You CAN buy this music from other places, go and do it. I can't buy music from my local ISP because they use Windows DRM, this is going to be a double edged sword which should also stop DRM on DVDs etc, Why not remove ALL DRM??
You have to defend a trademark to keep it, if you don't defend a trademark then you loose it. Apple is defending it's property, the stuff that it generates it's income from. Sueing bloggers for linking to the sites? is taking action against people who are helping to promote the material, so as bad as the situation may seem, Apple is within their rights to do what they did.
It's Apple's code they can compile it for another processor if they wish and they don't have to publish the source. Darwin has always been the under pinnings of Mac OSX and no-one has kept it a secret or implied anything else. To put MacOSX onto a mobile means being able to leave out a lot of desktop related material which would leave it small enough to run run on a handheld.
The original comments are badly researched by someone with no historical perspective on MacOSX/OPENSTEP/NeXTSTEP/BSD
Exactly, you can't have it both ways, but it is a question of what happens after they read the eMail. In the case of Spam, you are made aware of spam filters etc, and you may have the choice to not use them, but in the case like this, you are not told that people are reading you eMail, even when it is stored on another computer.
If this is the best that two experts can come up with, MacOSX must be pretty good. Sure some of them would be nice to have, but having the date displayed makes it to the list? oh ffs! There is a good reason why you can't cut a file, there is the big risk of loosing it completely. I'd prefer a list written by new users, that would be more realistic than one written by two experts with years of exposure to PCs.
I love their hardware, it seems that they make good solid mice. But Windows, it's got all of the features, just not well done, and often the default setting are best for MS and not the user. You would think that with so many people and so much money, they would spend the little bit more time and polish the software, finish it correctly.
two bicycles fixed side-by-side, a starter motor from a car, and bit of gearing and rubber belts, and 15 mph up and down my street. It was my first big moving project and I was ecstatic.
remembering that Macs and PCs have been around for 20+ years, it's not surprising that people have stuck with the machine or bought the machine that was easiest to use in the long run. And there is a PC culture that buys Macs for their parents for the same reason. I do tech support for a small company and the boss (60 yo) has a growing list of older people that end up with a Mac and he takes the time to support. It's a growing market that needs someone that is in the same age group and not some 'nerdy' guy/gal.
I'm an X-plane user, I can build, fly, go on-line. It uses my brain and teaches me something new. I have to look at many real-world (tm) things like geography weather etc. I can play hard flying through canyons or relax with a long flight across the pacific. Re-enact historic flights on-line with other flyers, dog fight, whatever. Move into building your own scenery, model aircraft etc.
the same could be done several different ways, just because they use an MP3 player as a recording device, shock/horror, doesn't mean that is should even have been the subject of a/. entry. I prefer th stories about the micro-camera above the keypad and the cardreader in the phoney face plate. I check for this each time. Or even better. friend ends up with the wrong card after leaving a bar, the barman had swapped the card and is recording pin numbers via a repositioned security camera.
as a side issue, apple had an Adobe demo CD with full versions of their top products on it and it was ONLY to be shipped with the 9600. I came across a copy at a junk sale and installed it. April 1, 2000 the nVIR virus popped up and I tracked it back to that CD. Nice present.
Why would Apple make a phone? Apple is successful in markets that it can innovate in, the phone market has a number of players that spend all of there efforts innovating. Apple would be lost in the crowd.
don't iPods usually come either formatted for Mac? or 'blank? or have those days gone? if not it'll be a manufacturer error, which Apple should be monitoring.

it's beta, report the bugs

a/ it's about people making comments about people.
b/ my bad, I was told, and it's being reported, that there was no right of reply to any comment recorded.

slashdotted that.
/. covered it when the video was first done. you still need a file manager etc.
