Suppose HP and Apple still have the deal in place when Longhorn ships (and we have little reason to suspect they won't). Will HP be able to remove the WMA Music Store functionality from WMP in order to promote their licensed iTunes alternative? I doubt they will.
Personally I prefer running because it gets me fitter quicker than cycling on a bike ever could.
So, when you're running up a steep hill, how exactly are you leveraging your pectoral, abdominal and arm muscles to assist your ascent? Even those silly ski pole things can never match the 'crunches' brought upon by a steep bicycle climb.
And I would argue that you can eat your cake and have it too! Every example preceding that statement--shy of VD (vinereal desktops)--can be attained just as easily and expensively, native for Mac OS X. And even then, the entire KDE environment is available for X11 which can in turn be run rootless or rooted under OS X.
I think the arguments that stick in favor of Lin-on-Mac would be the ability to slim the OS to a more elemental state for performance's sake and perhaps code equivalence against other machines in one's workflow. On the other hand, where can I get a pdf-based window manager that leverages my beefy GPU rather than leeching cycles from my CPU?
Wow, you're right. Never opened an Address Book exported vCard to look at the syntax, rather rested on my outdated (and apparently flawed) research of the format.:slapped!
Well, should papa ever want to export his modernized Address Book database in to another PIM app down the road, he'd find his data easily exportable (and inevitably importable) using the well established vCard-XML standard.
Doesn't MacOS X's Address Book let you click on a telephone number and choose to dial it from a pop-up menu?
No, it simply allows you to see it REALLY REALLY BIG so you can reach all the way over to the touchpad and kick it oh-so-20th-century 'monkey action' style:P
My dad still uses the Hypercard Address Book stack under Classic. I keep urging him to take the time to transcribe the hundreds of entries so something uh, more... XML-ey:P His main gripe is that there's no cheap/free "dial selected number with the modem" augmentation available--freeware, OSS or otherwise.
On a side note, my good friend recently joked about a 'skinny' port of Hypercard for the iPod. GID input might be a pain, though scrolling through buttons/fields might work?
The "composite once, publish virtually anywhere" market
Publishing houses that want a streamlined revision process. Automatic ToC and index generation can be useful when the folios and callout locations change from revision to revision.
fyi, Wiley & Sons Reference Publication department heavily uses Frame for its projects. They've gotten the styling guidelines and app file management down to a science. That's just one pretty significant Frame client.
now that adobe releases everything equally as good on windows.
It's just too bad that Microsoft doesn't release everything equally as good as Mac OS X:P
And while feature parity might indeed be equivalent between the apps on either platform, I've run in to a few pretty frustrating cache overflow, GID and system hang problems on Windows versions of Illustrator and PS that reminded me why 'real' designers use Macs >:D
I spent the last 6 months of my life buried in that app, and while I think it's wonderful for what it does, I was getting pretty sick of the Classic environment crashing twice a day. (thank God for auto-saves)
It got to the point that I'd prefer running it through VirtualPC and Win2k than under OS9--the only problem being the need for dual displays to manage both the workspace and the palletes.
Oh well, here's to hoping that either LaTeX + good GUI or InDesign + PageMaker extinguishes the app in the near future...
No, I disagree. I want all text entry fields across the entire frickin' OS to act identically, tyvm. Counteracting behaviors cause me undue thought processes, and in turn disdain towards the careless developer that made the decision to break the interface guidelines.
I'm quite in the habit--wether it be in a word processor or browser--of triple-clicking to select an entire string/paragraph.
I'm halfway on the same page with you here... The other side of the argumant, the one my rational lobe leans towards is to view it as an extreme form of taxation. It's a duty that you're bound to uphold 'as a citizen who reaps the benefits of a free society' yadda yadda...
Yes. God Bless Microsoft for fostering a world in which people are so afraid of borking things that they leave everying set up with the base configuration.

I think the operative word in his recollection is the word "was"... Indicating that we're talking Mac OS 7 or Mac OS 8, not OS X.
Regardless, a well administered mid-90's Mac was still arguably more stable than the average Windows 95 machine, 'pseudo protected memory' be damned...

This would be the RealOne equivalent...
Fixed gears prevent you from relaxing due to the mental weakness brought upon by freewheels: coasting
Yeah but you then get to geek-out even further by attaching big bright day-glo flags to your rig!

Hmm some hippie liberal I turned out to be
Who's the real "winner"?
Why, the non-taxable Native Americans, of course! (or "Injuns" in 'Red State' speak)
Good for them.

Sure, if that Chevy has some parallel to the registry and the Ford can be fixed 9 times out of 10 by pulling specific parts out of the carburetor ;D
Hmm, guess I glazed over the last paragraph. Yeah, he's got his head pretty far out of the bask of the sun's glow.
