But Apple revoked license to the API for the author of iCommune, a "device" plug-in that actually allowed for the browsing and playing of MP3s on remote volumes from within iTunes.

During launch. Insulation from the external tank hit the left wing and caused possible damage. They should have aborted, as they have options to return to launch site (RTLS), transatlantic landing options in Morocco, Spain, and other locations depending on the trajectory, as well as the AOA, or abort once around. Apparently there were no risks forseen from continuing.:(
I have the 670U Canon that I bought a year ago for $100, and I can't believe how great it is. I really had reservations about Canon, as I am not a fan of their printers. I had a previously good experience with Umax, but after getting smacked down by them regarding OS X, I see that Canon has the best support for Mac OS X of any mainstream scanner maker.
I like that it fits into my laptop case when I remove my expanding binder, and as the parent message points out, it is powered by the USB bus. I can take it to the CS lab at my school and not worry about finding a 6-outlet strip somewhere.
Not only is their hardware top-quality (in my experience) and very affordable, it works in both the Classic Mac OS 9 as well as in any TWAIN-compatible program in Mac OS X. I use it with Photoshop, but I have been reading about compatibility with both GraphicConverter and Microsoft Word.
I remember at the Disneyland "Innoventions" thing, Silicon Graphics had this face scanner that would map someone's face into a 3-D object onscreen, and then manipulate it and whatever. While relatively old technology, not only could the new holographic methods be used to display nonphysical prototypes, it could also be used in conjunction with an object scanner to communicate dimensions and depth of existing objects in a more real form from a great distance.
I think that while having more tech-savvy fans will open the possibility for more CD copying, it isn't the only deciding factor. I know that back in the early 90's, I used to get most of my music by copying CDs onto audiocassette, and I wasn't very tech savvy at the time. Likewise, I see a lot of people who aren't very computer literate making tons of CD copies of their albums. Could it be that the record just isn't as good as his previous works?

If it even closely resembles Teddy Ruxpin, the world is coming to an end.
It seems to me that NASA thinks anything could be used as propulsion for craft, not that they are at all wrong. Physics is a great thing, and it opens up new doors all the time. Things like this, ion propulsion, and solar sails are bitchen ideas. What I'd like to see, though, is a manned Mars mission launched from a couple of 2L soda bottles in my back yard. Let's see them do that!
If you have physical access to the device, of course you can access the data stored on the device. All of these measures help keep the dad from being accessed, but if one steals the storage medium, you better hope that everything important on the drive was encrypted.
Remember in BTTF 2, the "Scene Screen" or whatever that was in the McFly's living room of 2015 that was tuned to the Scenery Channel? I might buy one of those, and it would look a lot better from the outside. Let's see this guy take some business initiative and crank something good out!
Also have a setup where it would look like cars were in front of my house, put shadows in my windows, and have cron job play music on Friday and Saturday nights to make it look like I have a life. Now THAT would have to look convincing.
With Mozilla being supported in so many ways on OS X, users have so many wonderful options. While I do like some of the things about Mozilla, I personally prefer OmniWeb 4.1b7, and IE 5.1.4 when I need it. However, competition almost never hurts, so everyone needs to keep biting at everyone else's heels. Work for my business!!!
Many wireless providers using 3G networks outside of the US provide fast data access through their non-LOS devices, and I agree with the other poster that TV and now Digital TV move large amounts of data through non line of sight methods as well. My Apple WAP does non-LOS, albeit at a relatively slow rate and shorter distance.
I would say that absolutely nothing is unbreakable, even the laws of physics. However, in the operating system world, the time, money, and manpower needed to ensure and guarantee that an entire operating system as well as everything installed with it is UNBREAKABLE is a ridiculous goal. I would say that most companies do their best to keep an OS unbreakable (save MS), but it is not practically feasible.
I hope we can see more open-source community support for Mac OS X in the future. It's projects like this that help to solidify its position as not only a great consumer OS, but as a great workhorse and development OS as well.
How can a pipe like that exist in Fairbanks, AK when I can't even get frickin DSL in my house? Maybe it's a secret plan by Verizon to annoy customers...
Since I was 13 or so, and the only possible way to get screwed over by predators online is to be a complete MORON! I mean, do these idiots ride the short bus to school? I've met probably 10 people outside of the IRC channel meets I've been to, and while some of them have been real @ssholes, none of them have been Lester the Molestor. Stop being stupid, people!
I got my OS X CD in the mail that morning and totally eliminated OS 9 from my machine. That lasted for about 96 hours, when I reformatted the hard drive with partitions for OS 9, OS X, and Documents and other files.
When OS X 10.1 was released, OS X became my primary operating system. As Office v.X and Golive 6 were released, I have found myself starting Classic only to use Photoshop and a 15 year old machine language emulator I need for my computer science class. I have to boot into OS 9 only to sync my Palm m500 with AvantGo.
Once Photoshop 7 is released for OS X and I finish my version of the SC Emulator (which will be open sourced after I get credit for it), I won't have to use Classic at all. And once AvantGo gets off its ass with a version of their conduit for OS X, OS 9 is history!
In that time, I also got dumped by my fiancee and proceeded to get a hot girlfriend who happens to be a complete geek and helps me debug my C++ code in her spare time. Looks like almost everything is looking up!
Apple dealers are apparently providing lower quality service than they promised to do in contracts signed years ago. A "ladder" policy was introduced by one chain, and all Apple dealers seem to know very little about some of their products: "Oh, Apple went out of business two years ago."
I was so dissatisfied with Epson's support of OS X, I bought a Lexmark Z43, and I'm loving it. While ink is more expensive, the heads are replaced with every cartridge and Lexmark supports OS X on practically every printer they sell! I remember bashing them back in the day, but definitely not now...
I say that Apple has consistently provided a really great product that is easy to use, has enough power and speed for most any task I've thrown at it, has great reliability and customer service for when something goes wrong, and continues to innovate in several ways, including hardware aesthetics, software utility and aesthetics, and hardware speed.
And, for me, I get more work done faster and with fewer headaches using my PowerBook when compared to any other machine I've used.
That's why I use a Mac. How about you?
Publishers like O'Reilly

I think publishers like O"Reilly who dive head first into Mac OS X will be happy with the return on their investment. Look at Microsoft, who went great gonzos with their next Office version, which is Mac OS X only.
Other, more lukewarm publishers won't sell as many products, and in turn say "See, we were right! OS X isn't as cool as you all thought."
It is a self-fulfilling prophecy, but O'Reilly has seemed to fulfill a good one for themselves, rather than a bad one. Bravo, I say!
Just like so many things in life, you get what you pay for. When you shell out $6k for Maya, you get a pretty bitchen application. I don't think anyone would dispute this. Sure, there are some bugs and shortcomings, but there are plenty of good reasons to spend that kind of money if it is really worth it to you.
When you don't have to shell out any money for something, it is only because of the good graces of those allowing whatever it is to be free. The folks at A|W have no obligation whatsoever to provide any of this to anyone for free. They are doing it because they want to, and they really don't have to answer to anyone for it. Anyone who reads the documentation for this program knows what is different between the free version of Maya and the commercial version.
Frankly, I think A|W put a lot of work into this freebie app that they didn't need to. People who know their stuff would probably go ahead and buy the program for whatever they need it for.
As for someone's comment that since it is free, it should include source code or be a fully functional app but for noncommercial use, you are really a moron. One thing that the open source and free software communities have a negative effect on is hard work making a profit. I have no problems with dedicating time to open source and free software development, but every person and every company has a right to charge for their hard work. Why would they include source to a $6k program and disclose a lot of proprietary intellectual property? That doesn't make sense at all...
Lastly, nobody is making anyone use this software. There is nothing that says "If you want to do 3D, you have to use this demo version of Maya." If you don't like it, go elsewhere. The beauty of having a free will is not being constrained by having only one choice. It seems, though, that many are constrained by having too many choices.
And besides, if you don't want to use OS X's interface with the Finder and all, just download and run Darwin with XFree or something. It's a free version of everything running "under the hood" of OS X.
Bragging about running OS 9 inside of MOL on Linux is like bragging about running OS 9 in "Classic Mode" in OSX. It's still running OS 9, which by most accounts, stinks.
Besides, the robustness (in utility and interface) of OS X applications is far beyond most anything any Linux app running in any Window Manager could offer. Also, most of the important "terminal" applications have an OS X version for use, which eliminates any usefulness of Linux in that regard.
Personally, I use Classic for Photoshop, GoLive, and HotSyncing to AvantGo. Once I get those three taken care of, it is bye bye OS 9 once and for all. Two of the three are coming soon. I look forward to an announcement from AvantGo regarding their support of OS X.
