Unfortunately, you can't buy a copy of Mac OS X (Intel) anywhere. Mac OS X (PowerPC) is a different product. Even in the UK. You could buy OS X Server.
Not corporate versions, which I would guess to be a large percentage of overall marketshare. Yeah, because corporations were also the first to adopt XP - not.
The claim that something similar to the system depicted in swordfish is ridiculous, is on itself ridiculous. Multi-monitors are nothing new; even ordinary PC users with a decent graphic-card can already link two. Currently, there are already systems which can handle *more* then 6 screens.
And as far as the 3D goes:

As far as TFA goes, that was in the future. It must be from 2003.

Jobs can come out now and say he's against DRM. That's because riding the inherent lock ins that went along with iTunes/iPod have already done their job.
Ask him back about the time the iPod was released if he wouldn't rather have an open format which didn't restrict which player you could play your music on after you bought it, and didn't keep you from moving the music around and I am fairly willing to bet you would get a different answer. Or let people use iTunes more easily with non Apple players... See where I'm heading? No, because when the iPod was released, it didn't support any DRM, and the only thing "locking" you to the iPod was that it was one of the first players that could handle AAC.
Last night, I had dinner at a friend's house. The family is from Italy. They had purchased for a nephew (in Sicily) an Itunes card and sent it over. He had just called yesterday wondering why he couldn't use the card in Italy. I told them that I had no idea as I would never purchase from Itunes, but that I'd investigate.
I get into work, and voila!/. has the story I need and the answer.
Thank you slashdot - you've saved me some legwork. He should be able to go to the iTS of [whereveryouare] and claim it there.
The European Commission said the focus of its antitrust inquiry into the pricing of songs on Apple Inc's iTunes online music store will be major music companies.
The emphasis on the groups was outlined by a spokesman for EU competition commissioner Neelie Kroes to reporters here.
However, he added that Apple (nasdaq: AAPL - news - people ) is also included in the investigation as the 'operator' of the service.
True, I expect that the AppleTV will be hacked sometime in the future... What I criticize is the day of announcement. If you have such a thing at hand, why not wait two days and come over with full credibility?
Just my opinion...
Well, maybe Apple delayed the AppleTV so all the hacks would be written off as April fool's?
As they've publicly announced, this will hopefully dispel all of the statements that Jobs was full of it and playing games with his opinion piece. Well, now they will say: "This only proves that EMI forced Jobs to drop DRM."
(Restored partially parted quote)
I expect dozens of Apple haters who have been claiming that Steve was lying about Apple's preference for no DRM to man up and apologize here in this thread.
I said Jobs was hypocritical for arguing against DRM while Apple seems happy to dish DRM out to its customers. You said
Am I mistaken that Jobs was enthusiastic about DRM in the early days?
Even if such planets did form, none of them would harboring any life, at least not any life based on carbon. The irregular orbits of all possible planets would preclude any with a stable temperature range. The minimum star spacing for an earth like planet is about 3.8 light years. This specification disqualifies about half of all stars in our galaxy. The mass of any planet harboring life could also not be much different than that of our earth. Wow, that's only 50 billion stars left. No chance of finding much there.
Would it have to be far enough away so they appeared as one, or go into some crazy chaotic close orbit? Look at the image in TFA. Either the stars are closer than 3 AU, then the planet(s) circle around them both, or they are farther away than 50 AU, then the planet(s) circle one of them (it doesn't mention if there could be planets about both, but IMHO that's also possible). In between, no planets will form.
Fidel's point is that everything ethanol is bad if land that could be used to produce food is used to produce fuel.
Hm, so would land dedicated to timber also be put to better use if it was put to food?
Pardon my cynicism, but this smacks of him setting up a call for central planning and control, which has worked so well in Cuba and Eastern Europe.
Maybe in Cuba there is a need for more food production. However, in the US, we are doing okay. The only Americans starving are Hollywood actresses and people who prefer to use their assets on drugs. We export a lot of food from here, and Americans could stand to cut back on their consumption, according to people in other countries. In fact, since a lot of the central planning (aka USDA subsidies and programs) have been reduced, America's agricultural production has increased.
You know, that almost sounds resonable, until one remembers that the US corn farmers with their susidised low prices have ruined the Mexican corn farmers and now stop shipping corn there so there are infact people starving in Mexico now because of the "free" market that is working so well in North America.
Typical cowardly dago's. Just like when you shit your pants and elected some socialist dickwad just because the ragheads told you to. And you're not having Gibraltar back either, so just fuck off and stab a cow or two. Suuuure, Spain "ellected some socialist dickwad just because the ragheads told" them, not because the conservative dickhead in power lied to them. In some countries being a lying dickhead may not get you re-elected, even if you are conservative.
"Compensation for the Theft? LOL. they were just taking back that which was rightly theirs."
How were factories and refineries built with 100% private funds rightfully theirs? I guess that means the BMW factory down the road is rightfully mine.
Well, how about the factory BMW build on your property without giving compensation?
Remember why it was made of "PEOPLEeeEeEe"? Because global warming made for a nice year-round heat-wave and the environment was all fucked up - including the seas, and the plankton SG is supposedly made from is mostly gone.

Nothing like crashing the Turbolift by singing "Fly me to the moon".
That's not quite the same as streaming. You know, as in "QuickTime Streaming Server" (or "Darwin Streaming Server" if you prefer open source).

As if suburbia wasn't a ghetto of its own, where you can't do anything without a car for each family member.

You said
The press conference has only streaming WindowsMedia and Real, no Quicktime?
