No way man. The further they go into the future, the more techno-babble they use. As others have pointed out in previous articles, ST has a history of using some new crazy particle to get out of a bind. And it gets old. Add to that, that the current representation of future is amazing short sighted (when you have ships moving at >c, are voice commands from the captain really going to be accurate?), and I'm glad they're moving the time back to something that is more feasible.
The specs for Apple hardware is open. How do you think Linux manages to run on modern Macs - they conform to that CHRP spec.
Any company can go build a CHRP machine. IBM even tried to encourage it a few years ago. I don't think you'll find Apple licensing their OS to anyone for clones, but that doesn't bother me that much.
The big deal is that apple is falling way behind, and they nead to do everything they can to impress. Seeing that they are a "media OS," the lack of DVD support is not encouraging.
We already know they're capable of 15.3 Gbits/sq. inch, which means a 100GB drive could be released at that density if IBM used the same number of platters as in the 75gxp.
Well, the 75gxp has a density of 11 gigabits per square inch, while IBM has achieved 150 gigabits per square inch in the lab last summer (thanks to previous poster).

Of course I'm not paying $130 for Linux.
And kernel 2.4 has *more* features than originally planned for.
Apple has prided itself on stability?
Not in this reality.
Yes, we must give MS credit for the idea of updating software. Truly a fine example of the innovation we have come to expect.
idiot, that's just a pointer to your own computer. it doesn't take much skill to access your own filez.
The point of wasting ipv6 address space is to necessitate ipv7 with 512bit address spaces :)

I think the AC might be right: CPRM
