  2. Re:First Amendment on Apple vs Bloggers · · Score: 1
    Uhm hmm ok i see that congress can't make any laws respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech. But nowhere does it say that the first ammendment only applies to the government.

    This is a common mistake. You infer the First Amendment applies to Apple because it doesn't say otherwise in the Constitution. This is a mistake. If it isn't in the Constitution it devolves to the States. Apple is not a State the last I looked.

    And you are right apple has a right to use the court system but are you right in that this individual has no first ammendment rights in this case? That i guess is what has to be decided based on is or isn't a online news service or blog considered press.

    That is exactly what the Court will have to decide.

  3. Re:Oh whatever... on Apple vs Bloggers · · Score: 1

    Courts are part of the government. However, they are not a party to the lawsuit, hence the First Amendment doesn't apply with respect to Apple vs. the Blogger. You have no rights at my house. Sure, you can say what you want but I reserve the right to ask you to leave. I'm making a subtle difference here. Your First Amendment rights end at my property line.

  4. Re:Oh whatever... on Apple vs Bloggers · · Score: 1

    The First Amendment applies to the Government for one thing. Two, Apple is not violating anybody's rights here. The law has been broken, they are trying to remedy that. Go back and read the Constiution before you start throwing it all over the place. Case in point... You have absolutely no rights to come over to my house and say whatever you please. If I take offense at what you say I can ask you to leave, and if you ignore me I can ratchet up the force until you do leave (i.e. call the Police, etc.). I'm not violating your rights, as you have none in this example. Likewise, this blogger has no rights with respect to Apple trade secrets.

  5. Re:First Amendment on Apple vs Bloggers · · Score: 1

    Wrong. Apple has every right to use the court system. Get a clue and re-read the Constitution. The government is not who is suing here. This individual has no First Amendment rights re: Apple, nor are his rights being abrogated by Apple. The parent is correct, American citizens need to get a clue, read the Constitution, and know what is and what isn't a right.

  6. Re:No Dual-Boot! VMWare! on Apple Officially Releases Beta Dual Boot Loader · · Score: 1

    I'm well aware of Player and Server. I have a former colleague who just started up at VMware. For developing VMware images (which I do) I use Workstation. This is my professional life. I don't see you guys losing out in the professional space. At home it is a different story. On my Mac I would prefer a total integrated approach in the OS, which is where Xen comes in to play in my book. In my professional life I'm vendor agnostic... Two different markets...

    Yes, and think Redmond should be secretly pleased as here is a tightly controlled hardware platform that Windows can run on without stability issues. As you state, this presupposes this is the start of a STABLE load.

  8. Re:No Dual-Boot! VMWare! on Apple Officially Releases Beta Dual Boot Loader · · Score: 1

    Absolutely. Once Apple starts shipping with processors containing VT they should go ahead and include the Xen hypervisor. That way I don't have to pay a VMware tax. Don't get me wrong, I love VMware, but why pay and use a 3rd party product when it can be integrated in to MacOS.

  9. Re:Great news for MS and death of Mac Office on Apple Officially Releases Beta Dual Boot Loader · · Score: 1

    I don't agree. I'm not going to dual boot just to run Office. What I will do is run Windows in VMware when that becomes available. MS "tests" a lot of new functionality in the Mac version of Office.

    VMware has already been bought. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of EMC.

    VMware doesn't have a case. They give away VMware Player and VMware Server. Further, they are opening up their APIs.

    I already had mine unchecked. I don't remember if this is default behavior, or I specifically chose it. I do remember unchecking it because I didn't want anything starting up when I download something.

  15. Re:Does anyone still upgrade OSs? on One In Two PCs Won't Run Vista's Interface · · Score: 1

    Sure, I bought my PowerBook 15" about a year ago. It came with MacOS X 10.3 (Panther). I upgraded to 10.4 (Tiger) when it came out. I didn't run on Panther long enough to say that Tiger is faster on my platform, but it certainly isn't slower and has more features that I use (Spotlight and Dashboard).

  16. Re:Is Steve Jobs really the best CEO? on Steve Jobs: Redefining The CEO · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How much PROFIT are those companies making? Cash is King in my book. A CEO should be judged on PROFIT, not revenue, how big is yacht is, etc. At some point in time, the market will realize a highly profitable company is worth owning and that will be reflected in the stock price.

  17. Re:PowerBook != PowerPC on Blazing Review of the New iMac · · Score: 1

    I stand corrected. Steve did mention in his keynote at MacWorld that all Apple computers will have Mac in the name going forward.

  18. Re:PowerBook : MacBook ::PowerMac : ???Mac on Blazing Review of the New iMac · · Score: 1

    Steve Jobs practically said that. Apple wants Mac in all computer names. Further, they are no longer running PowerPC so no more PowerXXXX for computer names.

  19. Re: The problem with FW800 on MacWorld MacBook Only a Prototype? · · Score: 1

    You could use a FW400 hub. I have one that connects to my PB. I have my old Gen3 iPod hooked up to it, as well as a cable for the video camera. I also use a FW800 hub for my two external 250GB LaCie drives. I use a USB2 hub for the Gen5 iPod and my wireless mouse, with 2 ports left open (one of which will be for the imminent digital camera).

    Compared to MacOS X... Panther had 9 updates (since I believe 10.3.9 was/is the current/final version). Tiger is up to 10.4.4 now.

    Wrong. The First Amendment only states that the Government can't infringe on your speech, and even then some things aren't protected (like yelling fire in a theater when there is none). The First Amendment does not apply to private entities (me, corporations, private schools).

    How do does your employer not know you won't do harm to them? Put yourself in their shoes, or more accurately your own shoes if it was someone else resigning.
