I use OmniWeb. Primarily. It's render outclasses anything else on the platform. It's very fast too in comparaison to IE.
Blaming Apple for IE's sluggish performance is a bit easy. Coming from the IE project manager, it's downright insulting.
For browsing outside a proxy, I sometime uses the new Chimera browser. It's a Cocoa (Objective-C) -based browser that's based on Fizilla. Fizilla is a Mac OS X version of Mozzila.
Chimera is astonishingly fast. It's render is better than Netscape 6.2, but like OmniWeb, it's JavaScript support is still lacking somewhat. Fortunately, javascript support isn't an issue for me, unless I require online banquing, where I'll use Netscape 6.2 (despite it's utter ugliness).
A brick, and any information about making or using bricks, can be dangerous in the wrong hands too; we should ban everything about those as well.
Blocking a page about some idea to sabotage is not going to make such extremists go away or stop their actions.
Bricks are meant to build houses. Yet, you can use bricks to maim people.
On the other hand, guidebooks for destroying railroad tracks server no other purpose than destroying railroad tracks in attempts to disrupt the service, with the unfortunate possibility of killing people.
Your analogy is too simplistic to be considered any valid. Free speech needs not be associated with destruction and killings. For this would definitely put and end to free speech.
I should expand on this before some dimwit flame me.
IF any litigation should ever occur, and a contrator HAD to pursue some kind of action against a contractee, and that the said contractee was found to be under age, then the legal guardians of the contractee are responsible, to some degree, of the actions that are at the cause of the litigation.
But this is a two-sided blade, this time, in favor of the contractee. The legal guardians can hold a contractor responsible for failing to protect the contractee against material, endeavor or responsibilities not suitable (or advisable) to a person who's legally under-age for the contracted job.
This means, for example, that a porn site could be held responsible for distributing material to a person who's under-age without properly taking the steps to guard against this.
This isn't much of a worry for this particular case with Apple, but the problem is similar. By acknowledging a person legal rights to a certain task, you expose him(/her), and the legal guardians of that person, to possible litigation issues by accepting their submissions.
So, as much as this sucks, this is as much to protect Apple as it is to protect this kid. No matter how brilliant he is.
What about asking why people aren't considering Apple? Seems to me they're just soliciting favorable commentary.
The problem with trying to address those people is trying to address those people.
Take you average PC user. He's using a PC because he has not considered anything else. It's what the mass uses. So, he wont address the dilemma or considering anything else but the one most susceptible of being in his environment.
Thus, the mass of PC users wont be very much keen into letting Apple know why they didn't choose Apple (or Linux, or BSD, or else). Apple just can not reach those users. They are undisturbably comfy with their choice.
Also, (offtopic) a good way to keep the population from reaching 10 billion is to bomb Africa and South America with condoms. Maybe the odd instructional pamphlet.
Actually, the most populous area of this dirt ball is asia.
And birth control isn't necessary the solution. There are still vast regions on this planet which are still inhabited.
Before getting rid of people, I'd get rid of frontiers.

There was a Dilbert anime episode where he accidentally discovered a growing meat substitute which, on top of it, resembled a cow furr, which he thought could be mass-produced and sold to poor countries like Elbonia (the mud-covered country).
Anyhow, from that story, growing meat substitute would be unmarketable.
Printing (and seting up printing) is totally effortless. There's no mystery there. And if your trouble is worth printing to PS or PDF to then move it to you NeXT to print it, then I strongly suggest you try CAPer. It'll let you "export" your printer onto the AppleTalk network (over IP) and use it on your Mac. This is what I do with my N2000 printer on my NeXT Cube.
Granted, faxing is still a pain in OS X. Though, ease them with Cocoa eFax. It grabs your files and faxes them, and can also receive faxes.
HydroQuebec, in the provinde of Quebec (duh!) tried this a few years ago (circa '97).
At the time, there were a number of obstacles that made this technology unworkable. If I remember correctly it had something to do with electromagnetic field sensitivity. The earth's EM and solar flares made the whole system too error prone, at the time.
This brings up another memory. A company, 10 years ago, had a cheap office wiring system that used the ground outlet as a network transport. With their adapter, any machine plugged (quite literally) was on the same network.
What made that idea (and company, I think) fold was the lack of security. Anyone could connect to your house's power outlet and get connected. Furthermore, there were no filtering devices that served as "firewall" between your house and the external power grid.

I wouldn't go for $10k. Perhaps $100k, or perhaps $20k plus some percentage of future revenue attributable to my invention.
Pardon me for asking but... what are you doing developing, maintaining or otherwise promoting a system for not even free beer?
If a chance to provide usefull code for a worthy cause (google being still the best search engine out there and that still doesn't plaster your screen with pop-up adds), spend a couple of weeks on it and get paid 10K doesn't sound attractive, what would?
Color matching is best done using Pantone (PMS) tables, and PMS books are useless after 9-12 months, because of paper degradation.
I should have pointed out that PMS color matching is for matching generic colors (like in drawings and page layout flat items, either for spot-color printing or process or hexachrome color seperations).
For photo touch-ups, they generally use color densities (CMYK).
Slashdot Mirror
Another thing that people seem to have missed from the specs.
Like the PowerBooks, the new eMacs can be attached to an external monitor in either Mirror or dual-monitor mode.
Yep: a 2-monitor iMac.
why should *I* be taxed for it??
You're already taxed for it.
Either it uses Gecko, or it doesn't, make up your mind.
It uses Gecko. And it's javascript is broken.
Eg, www.desjardins.com loads fine, but clicking on the AccèsD link fires up some javascript that doesn't work with Chimera, yet works w/ NS 6.2.
Chimera has proxy support, it just doesn't have the preferences UI for it yet.
Whoah! Thanks. This flies across the proxy now. Still, it should use the system's proxy settings. not it's own.

Shoot.. no:
Rechargeable 1800 mAh Lithium Ion Battery Pack
This is no monitor. it's a remote tablet for your PC.
You still got to plug it in, right?
Just as a quick note: Final Cut Pro doesn't (yet?) run on the iPod. :-)
What about good software that does an adequate job on relatively old hardware that, once expired, forces you to upgrade hardware?
Bad idea.
...is how they release it? Anyone has clues?
They can absorb light into a container, alter the qubits (how?), and then, how do they send it off again? Opening a quvalve?
Some quEstions require quAnswers.
These bozos need to document a bit more if I'm to build one myself (ok... maybe I'm optimistic).
They can go against the legal guardians, through.

Big deal.
I've seen final cuts of episode 4, 5 and 6!
And guess what? (SPOILER ALERT:) Vador is Luke's father!!
Pixar couldn't produce a flop if they wanted to. (Knock on wood)
Knock on Woody, I say.

This huge, ancient creature may have been making sweeping, brush-like movements with its right feet

Maybe it's simpler than than. Imagine yourself 250m years ago. Your a sea roach. On valentines day. Alone
Valentine "Toys".

Well, maybe not that alone.

How much would you pay to get ProjectBuilder and InterfaceBuilder for Linux?
We get 'em for free with Mac OS X, and also get a copy of Mac OS 9.2 for free.
Oh sure, rant as much about OS 9. How often do you have to boot in Windows to do something (your favorite game, or perhaps Word).
So, see it this way: for 130$, you get 4 distros:
Mac OS X (Quarts etc)
Incredible dev tools
Mac OS 9
I say that's pretty good value for the buck. (Besides, if you buy a new machine, you get all that anyhow).
