There was a close result in German Lotto 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 26 (plus 2 extra numbers specific to German Lotto). Note how little they gave you for "5 Richtige" ("5 right") compared to other drawings.
Well, the differences became lower, but Ogg Vorbis still scored better than the others in the online test (at 128 kbit/s, which was the other bitrate tested in the online test).
The test looked something like his: Blind test, 3 sets (different music styles) of 7 sound samples (20 seconds each) in Wave format, one original, the others compressed. Rank them in order of "best sounding", if you can't decide in the middle, just rank randomly there.
At 128 kbit/s Ogg got almost exactly the same distribution of rankings as the original, 21% at rank 1, 16% at 2 (original 17%), and 15% at 3. IOW >50% of voters placed it in the top 3. Next best for place one was WMA (13%), Real got 12%, the others 11% each. For top 3 it's WMA 42%, Real 41%,MP3 and MP3Pro both 40% and AAC 34%. AAC got 26% votes for rank 7.
IOW such that WMA, RealAudio, MP3Pro and also MP3, to most ears, was difficult to differentiate doesn't enumerate Ogg for a reason.
The "real" (not Real;-) test with only 8 persons was different - and no, I'm not going to post he results.
They used the Fraunhofer MP3 codec from MusicMatch 7.2 (same for Thomson's MP3Pro), the AAC was the FhG Eval Build from Aug 23, Ogg Vorbis 1.0, the Real Audio from HelixProducer 9 Plus, and WMA Series 9 Beta (Build 2798).
When you click on the Desktop, the menu now has to do with the app called Finder.
And with menu-per-window you know that that's the menu for that window, not for the app as you say. Your app may have more than one window. And it wastes space. Especially when you also have toolbars.
Well, people who are stupid enough to actually buy the stuff they see in the commercials are probably a better target group than those who don't and even use DVRs to skip them.
People who have such a setup usualy also have somehow covered or shaded their rear window (because of the sun or just for coolness), so they couldn't use their internal rear view mirror anyways.
Taking advatange of Cocoa makes your code non-portable.
Wrong. Objective C is supported anywhere gcc runs, and there are multiple free implementations of Foundation (the non-GUI portion of Cocoa). The UI portion of Cocoa is not portable (although GNUstep is getting closer), but then neither is Carbon.
That was his point: The UI portion of Cocoa is not portable.
There are cross-platform UI libs that work on Windows, and Carbon/Classic MacOS (and even X Window), but not (AFAIK) for Cocoa. So unless you want to wait for GNUstep to finish, no cross-platform apps for you. Your list of "rivaling" Cocoa software is a good hint, how many of those are cross-platform?

Apart from the version number thing, it still was better than that (that being OS 9) - and Windows 9x and NT up to service pack 3.

Here is the official word:
Microsoft saying "Office v. X doesn't sell well, that can only mean that Mac OS X doesn't sell well" is not so anecdotal evidence?
Uh-oh, a new wave for the trolls: first apology.
It's unlikely that a Duo comes without any (mini-) dock that has ADB.

Shouldn't those be Tidal Generators?
Power lines kill much more birds than wind power generators.
Denmark, basic facts:
Terrain: low and flat to gently rolling plains
Highest point: Yding Skovhøj, 173 m (568 ft)
Actually, this all makes me want to throw My Computer into the Recycle Bin - but they won't let me.

You don't have permission to access /geru/ram/a_g.ram on this server.
Anyway, I'm German. I know how to pronunce the letter G - and it's not "gay". Unless I don't know how to pronounce "gay".
If you pronounced G as Gay, you didn't get good grades in German - I hope.

Ahh, it's who you believe. The Government always lies to you, while private enterprise never does.
And the scaling algorithm is already there for icons. And I'm not even going to mention Quartz Extreme.
And people with a higher resolution display. Maybe the next Cinema Display?

1) Call your product Sumi ...
2)
3) Profit!
Or more like: Imagine a Beowulf cluster of Sumis!
Or like: All your Sumi are belong to us.
Or: WhazzzSumi!
Yeah, how evil of Apple to add new features to 10.2, which make software that uses them incompatible with older OS versions.
So they build robotic Sea Monkeys? (Note the "not anthropomorphic" bit and how the SMs were supposed to look like)
