But that's not true; Shake requires a three-button mouse (although the/. story didn't even mention the Shake update...).

You really have to have Expose set to a mouse button to get the full benefit. It is much faster for me to hit mouse4, move an inch and click than go to the keyboard and do a cmd-tab.
Every Disney movie made after The Little Mermaid has been done entirely on CAPS without the use of cells; if that's what they meant, they did it over a decade ago. They could do some movies that are animated in 3D and rendered with cell shaders as was done in Titan A.E., but if they say they're retraining their animators, it seems that the drawn animation process is going out.
This simply means that X11 in included on the installer disks (although it isn't installed by default), so you don't have to go download it from http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/download/
Buying [b]RIAA[/b] music on the iTunes store supports the RIAA; the RIAA doesn't get any money if you buy music from an independent label.
It's just like any physical music store, except that it also promotes a business model where artists don't need massive amount of capital from the big five label's to get exposure and distribution.
Subscriptions are really the way to go with Audible. For $20/month you get any two books on the store, whereas buying them individually you will pay that much for just one new release. Just use the individual purchases for the $5-10 classic titles.
Yes, Apple's products definitely have the advantage of being recognizable in a way that other brands aren't: you can tell just from the shapes and materials. I like it when shows cover up the logos on the computers so as not to be giving free advertizing: what, are we going to think it might be that other rectangular brushed-metal laptop?
If you read the link in one of the earlier comments, you would see that:
Slide Four
Choosing the Right Architechture
cost vs. performance (purely)
total cost $5.2 million includes system itself, memory, storage, and communication fabrics
one of the cheapest systems of its kind
Slide Five
Architectural Options
Dell - too expensive [one of the reasons for the project being so "hush hush" was that dell was exploring pricing options during bidding]
Sun (sparc) - required too many processors, also too expensive
IBM/AMD (opteron) - required twice the number of processors and was twice the price in the desired configuration; had no chassis available
HP (itanium) - ditto
Apple (IBM PPC970) - system available with chassis for lowest price
The real answer is that virus definition files should have a flag that is set for viruses that always use forged addresses that tells the antivirus never to send an email in reply to that virus.
Is that the eBay guy is sill $0.50 ahead buying a $0.99 song that he doesn't like and not being able to resell it, rather than buying a $3 single he doesn't like and selling it back to a record shop for $1.50. Easy and practical resale is one of the advantages you get for shelling out the extra cash for a physical copy (and of course there are a lot of disadvantages to physical copies as well).
The new iPods are firmware upgradable to have audio in. You can already see the recording software in its early form if you go into diagnostic mode: http://www.pocketthings.com/index.php?ID=1139
Still, it's not certain that Apple will enable this anytime soon, and it will probably work through an accessory that plugs into the new docking port.
But there are some ports (e.g. 135, 5353) that are intended solely to provide services over a LAN, and if this information is ever going across the internet, it's a mistake. What is the downside to blocking this?
For those of us not using ITunes could someone tell us what rights you are granted when you make a purchase? (What apple actually says...)

How many mac viruses are created? I can't say that I remember hearing about anything significant recently. How many computer users want to bring down the reputation of Apple?
This is definitely a factor, but I don't think that factor alone can completely explain the fact that there are 0 Mac OS X viruses and 2,391 Win32 viruses.
427 is SLP server location, 631 is CUPS printing, and 1033 is netinfo. All three of these services (along with the Rendezvous services that would be running on most Macs, port 5353) can only be used to discover servers/printers on the local subnet, so they are technically correct to say that there aren't any ports "open to the internet," as there are in Windows. They could theoretically cause problems for cable modem users, of course.
WEll, TiVo actually supports a couple dozen network adaptors (it doesn't come with one). But I don't get why that would be enough reason by itself. Seems more likely that was just what more people knew when they started out, and they certainly wouldn't want to change now.

That Apple's consumer software has huge educational discounts. The student price on the iLife DVD is $29.

Actually, they're copy-protected WMA, just like BuyMusic.

Adobe is only adding activation to the Windows version of Photoshop CS.

No viruses have been written that work under Mac OS X yet. See: http://www.macobserver.com/editorial/2003/08/29.1. shtml

It will vary, but ISPs keep their logs for at least 6 months.
This may come as a shock, but ISPs do in fact keep logs.

IE is bundled with 10.2, Safari is bundled with 10.3.
